Description
There are virtues and there a vices and there are things that are neither. There are sinners and there are saints and there are people who are neither. There are men and there are monsters and there are creatures that are neither William "Billy" Maddoc is a young man who's neither here nor there. An ordinary, boring, absolutely, unremarkable person, in a world of Magic and Demons and Gods. A young man who simply wishes to spend his days in relative peace. Avoiding trouble as much as is possible. Doing little relative harm. Occasionally trying to make a buck here or there to makes ends meet.

- SegyulahRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Descriptive but not too descriptive...with enough action to satisfy the battle lusty(?). The characters are fleshed out and have emotions! A thing most Web novels seem to miss. Not repetitive, and the grammar has no faults, just a few typos in the earlier chapters. All in all, well I read it in a day,soo there you go
- GibbsonRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Great characters, interesting world, power levels are both ridiculous and not too overpowered.
Now that its complete I can say that I really enjoyed the read. The characters are believable and well written with diverse personalities and actions. The plot has a gradual build up with no giants jumps or weird twists that dont make sense. The power levels dont get in the way of anything and really are more of guidelines rather than rules. The setting was also well written and believable without being too gritty or shiny. I didn't notice any major [or minor] lapses in spelling or sentence structure. - ddamyonRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story starts where others would end, creating a strong sense of mystery about the past. I especially like how (maybe) important information, is dropped in between conversations or thoughts of the MC. this story excells at unpredictability.
- MehdudeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0People should not be discouraged by the walll of text in first chapters try to pull trought. Autor later fixes the problem.
- VantilaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's unique. Never read something that written that way and I don't realy think that it deserve all 5 stars, but I think it deserve being read and high review can atract some attention.
Another very very big plus that it is completed, many authors don't bother with that so minimum +1 star to any review. - DylondRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5pretty guud
i like it alot, its addictingg - Mae owinaRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5I have just realizes it, you rarely reply to critics comment?
You want your novel popular? Or want to grow better?
Learn to take critics and fix the mistakes,go back to early chapter! Dont be lazy,i hate LAZY!!
If cant edit it back?? Delete all the chapters and repost it again! Simple.
Honestly tell me how u feel when read those whole packed words!? Ever consider the reader feels? They will Sure mostly majority etc, drop it at very early chapter.
Better you fix your spacing per paragraph and per word. Make sure tripple check your Grammar. Use google. Find "How to learn grammar online". Simple.
Many typos here, and almost 30% grammatical errors. Albeit i must say that i seldom types with proper grammar bcause i need fast typing.
I am not a bootlicker like those clowns above and below me. With vague and naive praises.
Stating the truth,
The mc resemble LiQiYe in ED but less mature and schemer.
Dont really adapted it from ISSTH or Desolate Era or COD too much in terms of cultivation level while your LEVEL power Wayyy too lacking. (Superhuman but not town destroyer?) Or etc. Make it match with its level, in terms of destruction as u have described.
The progress plot a bit drift away but good enough.
This MC character really suitable,dont change it with softer or kinder one. Because it will reduce his charm.
If you want make its pace mix with ED and ISSTH a bit because you clearly took example from those.
Lastly and most important!!
PLEASE GO BACK TO PREVIOUS CHAPTER AND EDIT THE SPACING !! And Grammar too.
So new people who want to read THIS wouldnt DROP at the very beginning chaper! Super annoying that whole packed WORDS. - Worst-answerRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Hmm i stopped at chapter, 33 , it's not for me, the girls keeps on bickering with him , about protecting them, basically he alwais send them off, when there is a threat stronger than him (as anyone should do) . And they pay him back , by lecturing him or hitting him, when the outcome in them staying was their death. (such an attitude is a pain in the ass), they call him selfish, when the whole reason he came back into the world is for them (and he renounced to being an higher creature for that ) and he is the selfish one , then there is the fact that they are a bunch of leeches, who kind of get powerups , and they show gratefulness by being f.cing pain the ass. such a bunch of pain in the ass of characters makes this novel hard to read. I will check it out again when i have the strenght to do so.
- SedactiveRoyal Road★★★ 2.5When i started reading the first chapter annoyed me a lot as the chosen style the author picked to write this novel is one of the more older ones and o boy there is a reason that its OLD.
The second chapter was around the time i was wondering if i really wanted to read this as the first chapter was so freaking vague but yea i enjoyed reading C2 so the balance was restored.
Now i am at chapter 11 i am sooo tired so freaking tired this story is like a pool of blood you sink in it slowly very slowly such a depressing society all the characters in it are sad and depressing.
I think the author went for this on purpose a novel straight from 1970-1990 with the gangs and depressing main characters who dont talk and just sit around in bars with dim lights while drinking and smoking cigars.
If it only was a question of my own preference then this novel would have gotten 4-5 stars from me but i read it so far because even in this ses pool of depressing shit there was something to look forward to namely the main chars 2 of them that is.
But the problem is that the author is focusing to fucking much on the depressing descriptions of how the world looks like or some fucking ass vague monologue about some creature or some kingdom they are so many that i cannot even remember half of them as they overlap in their vaguenissss.
Chapter 11 is a perfect example of this 2 things happen MC takes a shower and sings up for something (dont want to spoil so i say something) thats 10% of the chapter the rest is YES I SAID IF QUITE OFTEN ALREADY fucking depressing description of a sad world in a sad town with sad fucking tards walking around.
The only reason i am reading this is because i want to see the 2 main characters bond and interact but yea they dont so the story is dying very slowly and at this point i preferd to write a review as this is more fun than reading endless descriptions of how a spoon falls or how a salesman wants to sleep with several women and taking a piss.
FUCK - wraith26Royal Road★★★ 2.5good premise.. but dull and boring.. the mc looks like a npc that goes with his program... nothing noteworthy..
