Lone: The Wanderer [Old Version]

Description

Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull.

Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time?

Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours.

Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow?

I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.'

I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how wouldyouanswer?

[Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies]

A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated.

The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx.

    Style: In terms of style this story is a fantasy LitRPG, which is a pretty popular way of writing, and is set in a swords & magic world. I appreciate the way he uses the LitRPG aspects as well. He doesn't have boxes and numbers for every little thing; however, when something important happens he also isn't stingy about showing us what's changed in our main character's stat sheet or in a crafted item. 5/5
    Story: In terms of story, I love the way Lone, that's the author name as well, by the way, builds his world with bits and pieces of the bigger picture slowly being revealed. Unlike some novels where if you compare what you know about the lore of the world at the beginning versus a couple thousand pages in you realize hardly anything has changed Lone: The Wanderer isn't like that. Where I am at in the story, Book 4 Chapter 12, I can look back and say with certainty that I know much more about what is going on in the background then I did in the start. Moreover, I can determine that there is still a lot missing in my understanding of events. 5/5
    Grammar: Well I can't remember noticing any major errors that weren't corrected shortly after posting if there were any. I also don't recall any minor errors. I might have just not noticed them, but then they don't really matter do they? 5/5
    Character:  Spoiler: Spoiler
    And finally, we have the characters. The characters are the one area I feel is slightly lacking. The characters are great and I can relate to them; however, at times I feel like some of them aren't that well fleshed out. For example, Eolande, a tylwyth teg, is more or less defined by one maybe two things. She wants to sleep with the main character and she also does illusions really well. Yes, there are more things about her, but whenever I think about her those are the things that come to mind. I like her and she's a perfectly fine character I just feel like she's a bit flat right now. Although it is improving. On the flip side, I absolutely love the main chara

    Mc is phychopath while Sophie is a mentally ill goddess who bows down to her slaver.Their are also a large amount of plot holes currently.
    5 Stars will be in place for now until the author finishes his rewrite.

    Good story  but only negative about the story is the author  and his future plans always leading to lots of re-writes. The story is inconsistent because of this your read a story then it like boom NVM I like it this way better but going forward it will be this way, yet I'll change it after I get to the re-writes. Make your mind up once you write, edit , then stick to your damn story line not changing the whole story going forward "good example"Spolior ahead "
    Swind. Was originally female , author though that because of to many female in my party  now he make with only a note in the now section saying he will fix this on the re-writes, also he the last of his kind now..... WTH   also said will fix in re-writes .     So I'm fine ranting now but there conclusion is author need to stock to how story and plan better ahead fixed re-writes they send the whole damn story oro of wack.....
    Hoooot.

    one of the best authors on here. He rewrote his work and made it better and it was already a good story. most of the reveiws come from trolls that just want to bring ppl down to their level.

    I first had read this story because I thought Lone was gonna be reincarnated as a shota but to my surprise he wasnt.....sucks to suck.
    The style of the story is unlike any other I've seen so far and I say this because it doesn't follow the "Get stronger----> find waifu-----> beat sub-villain------>unlock new ability------->defeat villain's boss------->explore new country------>repeat from beginning" style that alot of stories take.
    The grammar is good but there are a few chapters that have words spelled wrong or the sentences run on.
    The story was realy interesting in volume 1 but when it hit volume 2 it felt like Lone was just being an a kid that might have a mental health problem. This all changed when we reach volume 3, we see Lone start to act more like a person would act instead of some psycho.
    The characters are very interesting except the fairy, I don't really like the fairy.
    All in all the novel's great and the author should keep it up.

    Compared to all the other stories on this site this is something differen't and I will stick with it to the end. There could be more character diversity, though I see you are somewhat introducing characters slowly. The protagonist is a straight a** though he doesn't think about his actions very much I know you said he will tone down later in the series but, he came from earth I know he wanted change and everything but still.

    I have read this novel till the current chapter and I would say,this is a pretty good novel. At start you might feel the MC to be a bit extreme and at times weird, but eventually he becomes a better being.
    The story flow is good and characters are defined to a good extant, but personally I feel the side characters can be a bit more defined.
    Also, a note for the author as a request. Kindly reduce the amount of love dovey scenes if possible, I mean being lovestruck is understood but anything that is explained too much makes not good enough. And no scenes with the kid Sophie please! That is something I would not personally wish to see if that can be ignored.
    But, apart from a few points mentioned, the novel is still good and worth reading. The author's hardwork and creativity is evident. Also, I binge read the story in 3 days with the time I had, so it's addictive too!
    I wish good luck for Lone and Lone: The wanderer.
    (This is my first review for any novel, I have been in RoyalRoad going through various novels of Andur and other novelists, I saw notes by author being frustrated about bad meaningless reviews, so I had to support him. So 4 stars from my side!)

    Most of the problem is the MC with the drastic mood swings and uncalled-for reactions. The world tree and dungeon are pretty good examples. The dungeon the character seems to go on a saint personality change for a few chapters then suddenly goes all out devil. Then when it gets to the world tree he is out right shitty to everyone to the point as a reader even I wanted to kick his ass.
    Every time a new interesting character is introduced the MC almost right away tries to screw him/her over making that character hate the MC and most of the time without a reason for doing it.
    I looked through some of the other reviews and there is quite a few people that dislike the MC. About all that is propping up the story is the regular updating and story plot.

    I tried. I really did.  It had a nice world, decent skill progression and explication.  But the core,  the MC, is weak.  I feel they act "edgy" just because no real reason. Switches decision making style, but abruptly.  Doesn't change over time so that it makes sense.  Other character seem shallow.
    Goes off in excessive detail for the fights in a very jarring way.
    Its like enjoying a kinder egg but there's no toy inside.
