I am surprised that no review is still posted for this fiction since I find the story interesting and the writing is good as well.
The development and architecture of the story are amazing. However, there are several characters, and the only one I actually feel vested in is Hiro and I want more chapters with him. Still, we can see through the chapters how everyone is evolving, changing, addapting to the new environement.
There are some typos, but it is easy to understand and the structure and flow are clean and clear.
I recommend this novel, give it a try and you won't regret it.

Before i start, i would say you should read this novel, at least the 1st book, i would say u miss nothing by skipping all explicit chapters(unless of course you enjoy that type of content), and to enjoy all the other facets of the story. Book 2 is a bit more complicated, but i'm quite sure many will like 1 enough to continue reading.
There are many characters in this story you can consider main characters, but really there's one main main character, and a few characters that would be mc's anywhere else.
The story starts off great, the first book is quite fantastic if i'm honest, i was very excited for many parts of it, the mc's in this book are likable and interesting, and the whole training arcs were very fun to read, some of the reflections and introspections that happen in this book are probably it's greatest strength, very well done in that regard.
Then comes the 2nd book, and i will say this first, the main mc sucks from this point on, i was so interested in him, but on book two i get increasingly less interested, so much that i just skim over whatever he does, and 90% of it is explicit content anyways.
Explicit content, sex, so much of it, entire chapters, sometimes even multiple chapters, with nothing but sex, then a couple chapters of catching up on the world, and more sex, it's very tiring, i just skip all sex now, idk why it must be such a big deal. I'm certain many will enjoy this side of the story, i just personaly don't.
The world is fantastic, so many interesting characters, both mortal and immortal, hidden people, strange people, new powers everything, it's so much that it gets very difficult to track, almost overwhelming, but so rich that you can't help but delve deeper in it. Many of it is left unexplored however, many things just happen without explaining on how and why they happen, many powers are never explored beyond introducing the people that wield it.
The story is a bit everywhere, it struggles with identity, and seems to mash everything toge

It's an interesting story but largely ruined by the main characters relationships, primarily Mira and the idea that the mc is okay with her bringing another man into the relationship and his harem. And then there's the idea that he's thinking of bringing a hermaphrodite into his harem, take that how you will, personally I find it uncomfortable.
the author need to do a lot of editing, like a lot, though it's mostly misspelled words, often the same word throughout the chapter but it's different words in every chap.
Story wise it's an interesting world but it feels like the author doesn't know where to take it, it starts with the mc as a barbarian with berserker rage living within a tribe full of people with the same power and then for some reason goes and learns to be a samurai, you'd think there would be a pretty rough culture clash there.
