I'm writing this series so that my son, his cousins, and family friends get to be part of what we all used to day dream.

I plan for this book to go for a very long time. As it goes, I expect I'll get better at the writing thing.

Expect for most chapters to be over 1000 words each and released when the mojo is flowing and I get time. I do not plan to set a schedule as this is a hobby. I don't want it to be another chore or deadline I have to meet. I have enough of those.

This description will be getting updated as I go and learn.

This series is 100% for my family. If you dont like it, that's too bad for you, it doesn't hurt my feelings any.

Plenty of authors on this website or you can write your own book.

News: Found an editor. She is a family friend and sister to us. We are excited to bring her and her family on as contributors to this project!

A fun take on the transmigrated cultivator genre. I enjoy when someone from our world uses our knowledge to boost themselves in another. This accomplishes that well. The beginning is a little rough but the author improves through out the narrative. There are some POV switches but they are usually brief or noted in the chapter. I'm not a huge fan of POV switches but they actually serve purpose here and are pretty well done.
One thing I very much appreciate is the pacing. Too often I find these types of stories get bogged down in minutiae or they're paced solely by what the next calamity to face the MC is. This story gives the MC time and space to breathe and consolidate gains while not strictly being driven by the Next Big Problem. Time skips are used judiciously when actions would be repetitive and not worth going into with any real depth. There's only so long a training montage can be interesting before it gets beyond stale, no?
For the Grammar Gestapo out there, there are spots where it is a little rough here and there but nothing I found to jarring. Like I said, the author, improves over the course of the narrative.

I ended up binging this all today. In all the ways that matter this story is doing well. The grammar was occasionally off with occasional missed words or substituting in visually similar but distinctly meaning words chosen; this can be fixed easily by an editor. In the ways that aren’t easily changed they’ve got their story right; the worldbuilding is good, the MC is a little OP but they do lose in meaningful ways, the skill system is interesting, the plot is well paced and has genuine tension in it.
Well worth the read and I look forward to book 2 when it comes out :)

Don't get invested into the story unless you like main character becoming a side character out of nowhere.
There are no 'Multiple Lead Characters' tags or anything in the synopsis to hint this might happen, as as someone who dislikes novels that do this, it sucks to be bait and switched.
As for the novel itself, it's a fairly generic power fantasy with a isekai'd into an different world with a system, where the MC is awesome and just better than everyone else by miles because of Earth knowledge. Enjoyable enough read if you're a fan of those types of novels, at least upto the point the main character swaps.

As the author says this isn't for us the readers of RR. The author makes artistic decisions specific to the book being for his family which makes the experience for common RR readers worse. Also the hero of this story isn't Soren although you are lead to believe this from the summary. Please use your time better.

Tldr: Some issues, but nothing glaring besides the fact that the series isn't what the author says it's gonna be in the description. According to him, B1 is actually kind of like a prequel, and B2+ won't even focus on a mage, much less an omnimage.
I was honestly ready to overlook the grammar mistakes (things like affect instead of effect, duel instead of dual, etc), which can be annoyingly constant but don't really matter, and the way some character interactions and how he was instantly enslaved (which we could've been warned about in the description) seemed forced and unnatural.
But then, I come across the introduction to book 2 and discover that the series isn't even going to be about the character that I'd just spent 70+ chapters reading about. Au contraire, the series is gonna be about his son, who actually has the antithesis of his powers. Yep, the "Rise of the OmniMAGE" series isn't gonna be about a mage at all, but rather an antimage/nullifier. Book 2 onwards is, according to the author, gonna focus on Sorin's son, who is given an antimage class to help contain his dad's destructive powers once he comes back to Earth. It isn't even an isekai anymore, but a dystopian future post apocalyptic Earth with dungeons, adventurers, and such.
Honestly I wouldn't even have read the first book if I knew what was gonna happen, since neither antimages nor system apocalypse are niches I usually enjoy. And I know the author basically said he gives 0 fcks if we like the book or not (which is honestly completely valid!!), but I feel like, since he doesn't want to do it himself (I think he's a he, I don't really remember their gender), I'll warn future readers that might be interested in knowing whether they like the book's/series' premisse or not before spending their time reading it.
