  this is one of the best stories i have read on royalroad.
  it is incredibly well written and the way the author describes and tells their story makes me feel like i'm there looking through the characters.
  overall if you are looking for a refreshing story to experience in royalroad then you have found it.

  I thoroughly enjoyed what I've read so far.
  This isn't yet another reproduction of a popular idea but something that tries to be truly original.
  I especially enjoy and love that there is a believable character progression and everything isn't answered with OP skills
  I can only hope that this story stays on the path logical progression with set realism
  Thanks for the great read.

  minor grammar errors that occasionally start getting annoying, but all around great story whilst going trough it (4 stars) and then you arrive at around chapter 50 and you just get body slammed and it goes up to 5 stars

  Fantastic. my the only part i did not like was that i read this as the final chapter of book one came out instead of the final chapter of book two. i look forward to reading this all over once more after the 2nd book is done.

  This is a good story and i am looking forward to future chapters.  Thank you for the story.
  Update: The jump between the sword training and the test seems a little abrupt. Many be something to lead up to the test or drop references to it in earlier chapters etc.

  Really enjoyed the start of this story after reading all those reincarnation OP MC's stories. Have read until chapter 7 at this review and liked what I read...
  A normal 8 years old kid at the start with a tragedy to either shape him into further growth or its just your average life in a Monster and war filled world where death is really common...
  Read it...

  One of the better original stories to visit the site, although it might be a bit slow for many.
  In particular the system of gaining power in the OMJ universe is interesting without being ridiculous and feeds into the story.

  I've noticed that most stories on RoyalRoad begin with an over the top prologue of how the MC was unfairly bullied or betrayed; a brief intro that serves to hopefully connect the reader to the MC. The prologue is usually followed by a few chapters of how the MC overcomes this enormously unfair circumstance through seeming hard work and incredulous luck to become super powerful, and of course get the girl(s).   Although this setup makes for easy quick and mindless reading, it fails significantly to create a truly involved and captivating story. At best, they serve as a passing fancy akin to the recent balloon popping app that most of us will delete and forget in a few weeks.
  Rant over.
  With that said, in One Man's Journey, FoxGhost seems to make a solid effort to break away from this mold. I've read all chapters posted thus far (19) and the MC has yet to even appear OP (there are hints of a future OP character, but nothing fleshed out yet). And yes, his world does get pretty effed up, and yes he does have to overcome seemingly huge obstacles, but nothing ridiculous.
  The story does a solid job of giving each of the characters in the story their own persona and somehow connecting everything and everyone together.
  All in all, this story is pretty darn good. No glaring grammar or punctuation mistakes.  No obvious plot holes.
  And, as I mentioned in my title, I registered just to rate this. Hopefully that says something.
  Great job FoxGhost!

  I both love and hate your story. It is a rather enchanting tale and yet it brings me much sorrow for every hardship set upon Adam. (Spoiler) Especially the death spirit essence ark and adams return. Seriously, can't Adam get a break even once? After getting over losing half his family and starting to build a new one, you tear it away from him. Consider adding a tragedy tag. That is all
  PS: sorry for the short review, normally I would go more in depth, but I'm too tired

  I'll start by saying I like this novel a lot. It's such a refreshing feeling after reading the multitudes of mostly cookie cutter Xianxia stories with stupid main leads, arrogant and equally stupid villains, and generic sex doll "peerlessly beautiful" girls we call harem members, to have genuinely kind characters with actual personalities and compassion and sympathy for other characters. That was a bit of a run on sentence, but I hope you see where I'm getting with this. The characters are nice, they act for the most part realistically and how you could expect them to act, and the stories been interesting so far up to chapter 30 as well. But as of chapter 30, I can't continue reading this novel, because of one major problem. As you could probably guess from the score I gave it, it has something to do with the characters I just complimented so much.
  The problem is simple, it's the dialogue. The dialogue, is without mincing words, terrible. It's not that the characters say stupid things, or they're unintelligent. It's not that the dialogue is hard to read. The dialogue is concise, to the point, and for the most part well thought out, but that's exactly the problem. Your main cast as of chapter 30, consists of Adam, Vivienne, Cathryn, Hansen, and Helen, with slightly lesser roles being Alfred (and the rest of the orphans), Janette, Clayton (and his mercenaries), and maybe the receptionist. Out of all those people, about half of them are CHILDREN, so why, why, WHY are they all saying these well formulated and concise sentences when asked a question, or when they talk at all? Not even adults talk like that, but it's even more jarring when it's children. They don't speak like that! And to specify, I went and found random dialogue, from random chapters, to show how major the problem is.
  First from chapter 12
  “Oh?” Vivienne finally noticed the box in Adam's lap. She was still a bit apprehensive about it, but it seemed safe for now. “How did it go?”
  “Not very well. It is har
