Description

Abdin has been poisoned and left to die, with the incident being framed as a suicide. The council, composed of his late father's advisors, decides to bury him and crown the supreme judge as his replacement. However, to their surprise, Abdin survives the assassination attempt and manages to escape the kingdom. The council still intends to proceed with their plan of making the supreme judge the new king. However, the Arch Bishop confirms that Abdin is alive and declares that only he can rightfully assume the role of the king.

Now, Abdin is a fugitive on the run, compelled to alter his appearance and live in hiding. Yet, there is an opportunity to change the course of events. Abdin has honed his summoning abilities, enabling him to summon grand castles with abundant resources for cultivation. Additionally, he can summon smaller, harmless castles inhabited by friendly residents.

    The style of the story is good although some chapters I have a hard time getting what's going on.
    The story is the strongest aspect, at its core its a time loop cultivation story. The mc fails and learns repeatedly but for the moment he hasn't really had any mayor victories and is constantly in dangerous situations, this is most likely a buildup for the future, but I hope he actually starts winning soon. The concepts introduced are extremely interesting, a living growing castle,
    Other worlds.
    Bloodline abilities.
    Impostors.
    Otherworldly invasions and resource theft.
    A time loop and ancient schemes.
    Castle npcs.
    Unfortunately these concepts haven't really been explored throughly yet leaving much to be desired, but I hope these will be explored more later on. Finally some things come out of thin air with the mc suddenly pulling out a solution out of nowhere. Even with these flaws this story is a great time loop story with murderous castles.
    The characters are fine, the main character is a nice guy and I want him to succeed. The villians are very interesting and the politics and relations between them all are fun. I just hope the main character takes a bit more heavy desicions since the ones he has taken so far have put him in bad situations.
    The grammar is good I didn't see any errors.
    If you like timeloop stories and schemes then I recommend this story.

    Look I don't like giving reviews, I don't think I could write anything better, but this story both kept me reading and kept me fuming at some things.
    The MC has an amazing ability but key features are slow to come forward at times, some are key but aren't plain to see unless you're looking.
    The story doesn't make the classics mistake of the info dump, you have to read between the lines. Some info is important to the story but isn't laid out as a key attribute the lead also follows. This gets important later and missing the clues will leave you scratching your head in confusion.
    The time travel mechanics are pretty unique with clear demerits for the MC, but also has some unfortunate issues for the side characters as well. Each run changes enough the other characters shift positions and interactions within chapters of each other its as though they're different people entirely. This is at times jarring and makes it hard to like or get to know any of them.
    As it is alot of what I've written can be said to be a demerit, and had the story ended in the first twenty chapters I'd have moved on and not wasted my time with this lengthy review.  But that's just it, it got a four star review from me because it opens up. Big time. There's so much going on the beginning reveals itself to be a puddle hiding a sink hole deeper than you can see. Actions at the start having no meaning suddenly take a much deeper context. The MC's actions a result of a hidden past, the consequences only hinted at.
    The start is a rough thing, but the trail it starts only adds to World. Stick with it. Its worth the time.

    Hey first review! Yea me!
    The grammar and style is fine, it's an easy read, which is why I read all available chapters at the time.
    The MC has some interesting and excessive powers. But that's the problem, the first 20 chapters are here, I imagine, to introduce us to the MC powers but they lack tension and mostly come up self gratifying. But a few interesting things do happen, with some additional mind games, so it still is entertainig.
    Nonetheless there was something appealing in all the MC powers and I was turning the pages hoping for something interesting to happen. Good that I did, around chapter 26 there was an unexpected twist and the story drama grew quickly by leap and bounds each chapters after that. Now I am interested again and eager for new chapters! :)
