Glossary:

Aura:A type of mana that is produced by the soul. Aura/mana can also be found in the air. Aura created within a user can be used to enhance a person's speed, power, endurance, and reactions. The amount of aura a person has can be determined at birth but can be increased with meditation and thorough training.

Tuning/ to tune: The act of matching the frequency of the user's aura to the aura in the air to the effect of creating a spell. Like a string on a guitar vibrates in different notes, do does aura. Mages specialise in this form of aura manipulation but warriors have the ability to tune as well, although to a lesser degree as it requires learning and precise aura control. Runes are often used to supplement.

Reach: it is what separates a warrior from a mage. The further aura reaches outward from the user, the further away one can control their spells.

Runes: A special type of glyphs made with aura. Can be charged and tuned.

Ventus: Wind

Ignis: Fire

Murus: Wall - Blue barrier made of air and aura.

Teneo: Charge bomb. rune engraved into metal charged with aura

Auditus: Enhanced hearing

Loqui: Ability to talk from a distance, bearing in mind that there are no thick walls in the way.

Pulse: An aura technique in which aura ripples like sound from a point to propel the user, to block or attack. Timing and precise control of aura is important hence why it is a skill not many aura users have replicated. Drac uses it a lot for movement.

Surge: An aura technique where the user increases the flow and speed of the aura within the body. Although it gives the user a temporary boost to their strength, speed and reactions, if used incorrectly, its drawbacks are deadly. Aura glows from veins, leaving lightning-like features on the user's skin.

Despite the star ratings I’ve put on each category, this is a fascinating premise and was a fresh read for me. Even with the lower star ratings I gave, this is a story that I will definitely be continuing to read and expect to continue enjoying immensely. There were different tropes that I could pick out that the author used but it was done in what I felt was a new, fun way.
Style: The author’s style is very straightforward. There is sufficient description to not be lost, and none of the language felt flowery. Occasionally some of the writing felt like it could be tightened up, particularly in fight scenes, but it was still serviceable to the story.
Grammar: There are a lot of typos throughout that did unfortunately detract from the story. That said, most of the problems could probably be cleaned up with running the manuscript through a grammar checking program.
Story: The story starts off fast-paced and introduces the idea of “copies” almost immediately. There is a clear explanation of what these copies were intended to do in relation to the larger system of the world, which I appreciated. The action scenes throughout the first few chapters increase the immediate stakes of the story. And finally the magic system was explained in a straightforward way but didn’t feel like an info dump.
Character: The characters are interesting. I appreciated that even though they are supposed to be copies of the same person, they have a distinct feel to them—which I found believable since each copy was supposed to have lived life apart from the others up until this point in the story. The banter between the copies was a particular highlight for me. My main criticism is that some of the secondary characters come across as flat.
This story is exactly what the author promised in their note in the first chapter: there are plenty of grammar mistakes, but stick with it, because the story’s great!

First lets look at the Main Character. It will be a weak to strong build. I like that he starts off in a rural area with not much experience because it gives him room to grow. There is a also emotion behind his actions and doesn't seem like a flat or cookie cutter character.
The plot seems solid with only a slight learning curve for the week to strong build. The way in which strength and abilities is gained and I understand where the author is coming from when he says he just had to write it down.
I think the fight scenes were done with good imagery and a lot of thought was put into them. I like the fact that the villains appear early in the book. It gives you a better understanding of the odds and the struggle the MC will be facing. I am looking forward to the direction future chapters go.
With that being said, the author is new to writing and has a lot of editing that needs to happen. The first chapter was hard to get through because of a few things first grammar needs a lot of work. The sentence structure can be choppy and the wording can be confusing.
As an author I often have times where I don't translate what I see in my head into the page. I can tell the author is working on this as his writing is getting progressively better.
For future readers just stick with it through the first few chapters and give suggestions.

So, for this one the biggest issue was just readability. The author lets you know right away there are tense issues(if you know, why not fix them via an editing software?)
I tried to view it beyond the technical issues, since the writer might be an English as a second language writer. Under that lens, the story and character building itself is quite good!
Style: 3/5/5. Lots of tense changes, inconsistent formatting, weird ways for the characters to talk etc. These are all things that can be easily address with some TLC, but it did detract from the story. Fortunately, almost ALL of this stuff will be caught through a simple run of Grammarly or an equivalent software. It's what I use, and it helped me keep all of my tenses consistent.
Grammar: See above, same issue. Punctation in weird places, lots of redundant wording, flow was thrown off. The content is all there, it just needs to be finalized into a more smoothly read version.
Story: I found the story to be pretty interesting, honestly. The copies concept is something I haven't come across, so I found it to be novel. I think the world building has a lot of potential and I'm excited to see what the author comes up with!
Character: This was my favorite part, I found Drac to be hilarious and quite genuine feeling. It can be tough to write a believable main character, but I thought Drac read like a young man and it helped me connect with him and get behind what he was going through. I read this mostly for Drac.
In summary, this story has all the elements of success, it just needs some fine-tuning for readability and I think it will attract more consistent readers. Best of luck!

(I am not a Master of Editing with five degrees; these are my humble opinions.)
1) As the title reads, one thing that I loved was how the author voiced the events of the book. To me, it was relatable and real, something that almost always appeals to me when I read and makes it more fun to keep reading a story.
2) Just like me, this author makes mistakes; I certainly noticed a few grammatical errors, or errors in usage of singular-versus-plural forms of words, and I will also say that punctuation was missing in multiple places. There were also comments from other people saying that this book is hard to read, but I personally was not affected by the errors and still enjoyed the characters, which brings me to my next point:
3) I found most of the characters charming. I really loved the choice of words. Many parts that had dialogue in them were so much fun for me because I couldn't wait to see what the characters would say next.
For me, often, even the words that characters use will make it easier or more fun to keep reading something.
4) Sometimes, the presentation of tenses (present versus past) was not consistent. To some extent, I can see why others may comment negatively on this. I, however, liked it, and my perspective is that this might be part of the author's style.
I myself will (quite often, actually) use a style where I don't necessarily stick with just one form of verb tenses.
5) No part of this story was boring to me. I will absolutely read an exciting, colorful book like this any day. I will say again that there really were a number of errors, but I say this as a supporter of this author, and not as a disparaging toxic person who has nothing better to do than to project insecurities at ACTUAL TALENTED WRITERS who have true potential.
There are sadly so many of them on certain platforms, most of whom have never written even one good piece of writing in their lives, which only reminds us of the fact that successful and talented people don't feel th

However, execution is lacking.
In one area, even though this gentleman can only summon temporary clones and perhaps while melting with those other clones can gain more. Who knows....
Somehow without any training without another clone, them MC summons a second sword to his hand while holding the first one. This is never happened in the story so far and no power or ability for summoning swords are creating. Them was shown neither was this explained afterwards or in any way.
Also trying for some sort of relationship so clumsily and so quickly. Perhaps you should remove the clumsy romance and try again.
It's simply it's a great idea. I like the idea of the story, however the execution is severely lacking. You just need more practice bro.
You should get some friends and some people on Reddit and rewrite this story there and then bring it back to Royal road because it's really really really unpolished.
But I believe in you I believe in what you're thinking and what you comprehended about this story.
I would like to see it rewritten to an extent and I would really like to see the stories of drac and people. Thank you very much for the attempt
