This story, post re-write, is pretty damn amazing; good worldbuilding, good characters, good writing. Don't know why it one of the more viewed stories on RR because it should be.
To the writer: your re-write crushed it, well done.

An excellent story. A unique world with shit tons of mystery. It lacks any semblance of OP MC. The characters are well developed. The plot is compelling, and though it reads like a diary of a child soldier, it is an exceptionally interesting account of a power hungry child who, while powerful compared to those his age, is really quite powerless and fully realizes this - though not wthout much suffering. Seriously. This is one of the best things I've read here.
I only wish more of the history of the world was known to me.

I'm only at chapter 20 so far but i'm very impressed.
Not many story's on this site have good character development or personalities but this one's got it in spades.
I love chianti and you are very good at making me visualize other side characters.
The grammer is very good with a few mistakes that happen maybe twice a chapter so its negligable.
Overall a hidden gem that needs alot more support.

I hate writing reviews. I am willing to for this story because I want the author to keep writing.
It’s war reallity, edgy and mature, it won’t fit everyone’s taste but if you like a mature story then do check it out, and by far for me one of the best on royalroadl for the simple fact that it is depicting with fantasies the real summary of what war is, with all the graphic and desires of what man is, and its not beautiful.
Oh and yea, as it is realisitic on the aspect of war, well theres no plot armor, anyone can go down the drain, just like any war, where even tiny schrapnell from out of nowhere or bulletr ricochet can get your wingman down... Definitly a plus.(story Wise uh)
The character development has been amazing. I feel like I can understand his emotions even with my personal life being nothing like his. I really enjoy the amount of work put into describing the main character and his actions.
The setting is in depth and has plenty of room to introduce new concepts going forward. The mc isn’t OP “yet”. You always have to add yet with these stories. There seems to be plenty of lore and depth already.
The plot is following a somewhat predictably path, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. A twist here or there is all it needs, no mystery novel please. I can hope for epicness, and that is what helps make fantasy stories good.
The supporting characters are awesome; they are not one dimensional even if they have short screen time. I really enjoyed how some of them have added to the story.
Just readed the 43 chapters in one sitting, truly epic, as for the grammar, well im french who mostly read English novels since 10 years and i can say apart from tipo there and there, theres no big grammar issues.
Keep going!

i like the storytelling and i am patiently waiting for the next chapter.
the MC seem decently smart, the writing is nicely done, dialogue are certainly a strenght of this story, they are very well writen.
Minors errors in the english but i would probably do way worse, so who am i to complain?
EDIT1(ch10):the power are getting better and better,and they are smartly used
EDIT2(ch12):quality is maintained after the restart (10 days of pause)
EDIT3(ch12-eme):positivity modification of the text, and pauses starting to get really long here (10 days later)

Interesting story, i recommend it to anone interested in lirpg genre. The auuthor is a good story teller and you can feel, they have things planned out. So far so good. The characters are slowly developing and the mc is not an annoying idiot at least. I can't wait to see what happens nex.

Notice: This review will receive a full update. The current date of the update will be 3/23/2017. The former version with notes on the old score of this review will be achived on my wordpress.
Overall a very good story, weirdly enough much better than at the moment trending stories (top weekly).
The only real problem I see with this fiction is the slow pacing ( Right now, I only know the world and many of its mechanics, some (still and/or maybe still living) characters, and the occurrence of war. At chapter 42 I would at least like to know the reason for the war.
But the slow pace can be forgiven, since the fiction does only very rarely waste time.
PS. You may, like me, find the name of the locations (eden, garden, excalibur…) a bit cheesy. Ignore that, or you miss out on something.
