Luck Lockyer

Description

Luck Lockyer was the type of man to smirk in the dark, the expression not for anyone but himself. One of perpetual amusement. The bright side of things were hard to find in the shade yet his amber eyes were always searching. The smirk was his default, he knew it, his friends knew it, his family knew it. It was his most natural state.

But the death of everyone close to you can affect a downwards curve on the mouths of even the most stoic people.

Without purpose, without anyone to do the job for, Luck Lockyer found himself inside an empty forgotten church. The perpetual smirk on his face had slipped to a thin line, his scar more noticeable now than ever before. His amber eyes, the windows to his soul, dull and lifeless. To anyone who knew him, it was the clothing that gave away his mental state, denim pants and a plain black t-shirt. If that wasn't enough, the tears running down his face certainly would, the echoing sobs of a broken man rang across the rundown church.

It was on a whim, but Luck Lockyer prayed, he prayed for many things, for death, revenge, friends, but the one prayer dominating his thoughts, a second chance for his family.

That was all he wanted. Simple.

It was then, on the outskirts of a polluted city, in an abondoned lot, in a forgotten church that Luck Lockyer, the Devil of the Cards, the Bloodless Hand, the Amber Demon, the Broken, was answered by a being from another world and one from his.

The specific parts of a review need no mention because there wouuld only be 5's to give out. if I was reading a really good book that I bought and it was the same as this story, I would be hungering for book two. It hurts me to say but are you sure you should be on RR?, you could very easily write a masterpiece and make a career out of this.

I lack the words to describe this story sufficently. IMHO this is the best fiction I have ever had the good fortune to read. Beating out the Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings.
Might just be my tastes are perfectly aligned with the author, but please give this a read.

I enjoyed the sense of ethics your character has. Your writing is getting better the more you write too.

Don't be fooled by the weird title of the book. The book is well written with a good story that would get you hooked and encourage you to binge read.
Characters so far have thier own depth, but the story is still in it's early phases .
The world building is really good, one among the best I have come across in RRL. Has a good standard.
Grammar is good and has no major faults per say. Although occasionally certain sentences might give ambiguous notions.
The nuances and elements of the setting are well explained and together the story makes it a pleasant and good read.
Can't wait to see more of Luck, his family and Ace surviving against the odds!

Honestly, I'm not quite sure what to think about this. The main character is a mobster Lucky Luke alike that gets transmigrated into another world after his family gets assassinated in a mob conflict.
He makes the decision that his new life is to be spent helping people. But before the transmigration really commences he plays some sort of chose your own adventure power lottery with the God of Reincarnation, cheating his way into super powers.
At that point I was about to quit the story, but it does get better. He actually follows up on his conviction to help people, solves problems and doesn't actually want particularly epic rewards for it.
In a lot of ways this reads more like a Travel story of old, where the heroic explorer learns more about strange cultures and on occassion helps the primitives with their problems or ends some vile robbers.
For all that it sounds rather paternalistic, it makes for an appealing story imho.
The characters could have done with a few less powers to make the challenges they face actual challenges. Right now they feel a bit like tourists drifting through a world that is below their level. It's probably not a problem if you focus on the travel journal aspects and explore the alien cultures of the fantasy world, but it's somewhat detrimental for the tension curve.

The authors writing is extremely good but the reality of situations is that nobody can change just like that. You don’t go from cold blooded assassin to seething with rage over dissrespect and slavery. Personally the whole superhero justice thing doesn’t float my boat however it’s a well written story with a try for any who like this style of writing

An amazingly addicting story with many powerful elements and a blaze of emotions at the start. The only thing that hurts this novel, and I mean hurts it bad, is it's terrible release rate. The novel is addicting, which will make it popular, however the last of chapters released, making you wait a week in between them, will cause most readers to drop out from it after losing the enthusiam they had in the beginning. I mean seriously, even the love of your life that you get married to can fade, let alone the love of a new novel.
Only one piece of advice, release more chapters or quit writing chapter by chapter and release a book at a time, your current release rate is doing nothing but hurting your own potential popularity as a writer.

I dont remember readin this but that summary is a good example of how not to do a summary. It said nothing about the story. Describing the mc is not a summary of the story. Another way some people like to do it is use dialogue e.g. "i was the strongest, until i wasnt..."
Stupid and cringy. A summary of the story is self explanatory and that summary alone makes me want to slap whoever write it. You cant write a summary like that by accident. To avoid summarizing a story and just write abt the mc is not a mistake. Writing a summary like that is a good way making people not want to read your story no matter how nice u articulate the summary
I only give stars because i have to i would rather not because im not goin to read this anyways
