    This novel is a Game of Thrones fanfiction.
    I like the flow, it's seamless, and the characters' behaviors are on par. Writing quality is also good.
    So far, no interaction with a major character has occurred, so we have no idea how the story will unfold at that point. Also, the MC's power is probably way out of the league of GoT, but who cares? We need to see how it further develops.
    PS. I got some "Witcher" vibes while reading.

    I am a big fan of both Games of Thrones and Worm so I really liked the idea of a crossover.
    I was a bit skeptical at the beginning about the MC gaining so many powers so quickly in a world with mostly regular humans but for the moment it works very well and the fights and other interactions of the MC stay engaging.
    Hope that this story stays active for a long time.

    So far everything’s been to my liking. The random power generator is interesting, the scenes action are fun to read. All in all, a good fic. I’m looking forward to more chapters. Finn's sword was such a strange inclusion, but it works. His chipped, bronze like sword is better in my opinion, though. Or the leaf blade.

    I like how this story showed us how someone normal that is inexperienced would have dared in this world.
    Luckily he has the magical celestial forge system spicing things up.
    I am totally fascinated and find it sad that there is so little traffic here in RR.
    Sadly gotta search at other sides to get more goodies

    Fun read.
    If you’re familiar with Greg Vs the World, you’ll probably like this one.
    irrelevant word spam to follow in order to meet work count requirements:
    this one has been and is still being used by some people in this for some time and it has not yet gone viral on the site

    It's a thrilling story with a nice gacha-like skill and item getting.
    There are some things I can not really connect or understand, and sometimes it seems like the author just does things because he wanted one thing and did not have a nice way to make them really logical, or he plans a massive world story and hidden things in the future.
    The main character is understandable even if he sometimes develops too fast or too slow.
    All in all massiv potential.

    Title says it all really. It’s a fun more fantasy version of Westeros. The random grab bags from the celestial grimoir and the “achievements” are well handled in The background and are mostly unobtrusive. Strong character moments, great fight scene choreography, pretty good comedic timing. Only complaint I can think of is cartoonishly evil villains which is fine because it fits the semi unserious feel, and some of the latter chapters felt a bit stretched out and was a bit harder to get through. Still fun though. Good work.

    Good fiction. Very funny. Totally not doing this because the author asked.
    haha, but what do you do when the author really delivers on what he promises. So, might as well add a comment. Very novel way of adding extra information. It feels sys-apps but without the system. Very accurate portrayal of GOT civilisation

    it gets realy good once you get past the beginning chapters
    The random power generator is interesting
    I like the flow, it's seamless, and the characters' behaviors are on par. Writing quality is also good
    but here are jumps in time frame that make it hard to emotionally relate to the character's journey

    There are jumps in time frame that make it hard to emotionally relate to the character's journey. Journey add in that the character has no understanding or no selection of the celestial book, and therefore is constantly reacting without knowledge to powers he shouldn't or can't use. I've stopped because we are supposedly in the world of westeros and yet we are adding elements that were never explicitly stated to be in westeros. It somewhat breaks the feeling that our main character is the definitive difference between how that story would roll out normally and what we're reading now. Is a fan fiction. After all and fan fiction you change a thing and then play with the consequences of it. Our character is supposed to be that thing. A eminently capable if confused young man that may or may not know the storyline of a song of ice and fire, it seems more than willing to help in any Injustice he sees. However, when you added other monsters and difficulties that do not fit the preset world building, it does not incline me to continue to read a fanfiction. If this was a normal isekai story, as the main character keeps alluding to then whatever wouldn't even be a bump in the road. Yep, that's not our situation is it.
