  ★★★★★ 5.0

  Literally just binge read this wonderful story and need more immediately. The author knows just what to do to hook you and keep you coming back for more. I was referred to this story and I am so grateful that I was! This has the makings of being one of the best stories on this site. Plus I love how attention to detail is applied to mythology and grammar. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. Normally I do not rate stories but this was need.

  ★★★★★ 5.0

  Amazing depth, fantastic approach to a multiversal Pan-Theistic setting (Especially with the SEAMLESS inclusion and integration of the System surrounding and interlacing with it all!), great character personalities, interactions, and developement! Also, a depth of approach to Fae culture, races, courts, and Divinity (which I have always wanted and most definitely did NOT expect!) that sincerely boggles the mind! More that I'm not even thinking right now! HIGHLY SUGGESTED!!!

  Overall, the story and characters are quite good. The style is comfortable to read and goes well with the story. In some chapters there are a significant number of weird grammar errors, mixing up s and 's usage, or extra words added redundantly.
  Definitely worth the read, don't mind the grammar errors since they're not too plentiful overall.

  A great read so far (caught up as of this review). A unique take with the whole Sidhe thing and some nice blue boxes on occasion. Has action plus other interesting elements to the story. It’s well worth a read so give it a shot.

  After removing the story and then posting another story or subject or something, had thrown off the fact the story was removed and replaced with 1 chapter rather then leaving what was before it. I had suggested fixing that one way or another. At least he corrected it. Thankfuly it was faster then expected.

  Holy cow. This is pretty good, and I was not expecting it. Not from that synopsis. Something that should be noted is the story borrows heavily from mythology, pretty sure Celtic? Germanic? It mainly focuses on the fae (specifically the sidhe) but there are Greek and Norse antagonists included as well.
  STYLE: Pretty sure its all first person. Told from the eyes of our MC ( who's name I cant remember. I'm sleepy. Pretty sure its Mac Du Belenos now. Might have misspelled it). No P.O.V. changes have happened or interludes (thank god)
  STORY: This is where the score suffered a bit. As I said earlier, this draws heavy from mythology. It's also a litrpg. And unfortunately, in my opinion, this story suffers from being a litrpg. It's like looking at what could be a great story and then noticing it still has training wheels on. Theres something about the status boxes acting as a hard magic system that didn't really mesh well with the vague soft magic like themes of the wild hunt, the summerlands, or the sidhe in general. Because there are moments when magic is unexplained in this story, and those are just more enjoyable. But it could be personal bias.
  I would also say that there isnt enough weight in this story. Things happen, but it feels as if it's kind of told matter of factly. What I mean is, I  the latest chapter The Wild Hunt was called forth. And the author did a good job describing it, but that was pretty much it. This is a major turning point in the story involving betrayal, fighting for survival, and facing your fears/ challenges head on (nobody thought it would be that convoluted, but nobody thought he was going to a simple banquet either). And yet, for such a momentous part of the story, it feels flat. Where is that gut punch of fear? The righteous fury? The grim resolve to call forth one of the most terrifying magic in fae lore, The Wild Hunt. Where is the weight of battle, where the 8 lb. blade (guesstimate. I have no idea how heavy it is) feels like its 80 lbs.

  ★★★★ 3.5

  Story has a lot of potential, and I really want to rate it higher, but the author uses a ton of info-dumping for world-building.
  It starts off with a strong emotional introduction that is followed up by several chapters of world-building and developing the future background of the MC. Unfortunately, even after the initial chapters dedicated to explaining the world, there are excessive paragraphs of info-dumping.  It is fine at first, because what new author webnovel doesn't have an early info-dump?
  However for anyone who likes to binge a good story, it becomes hard to process and absorb so much information at once (even if it is nicely put in a blue box). A concern of mine would be how dumping so much info at once will turn off any new readers if the trend continues. Most readers don't come to Royalroad to read textbooks. Even the relevant information becomes stressful to process.
  FOR THE PROS THOUGH; Interspersed between the paragraphs is a wonderfully innovative story involving pantheons and foreshadowing a clash between different mythos. Upon processing the large amounts of knowledge thrown at you, you see a wonderful and interesting world to explore.

  "Who wouldn't try to game the system and take all the advantages possible?"
  Not this guy, thats for sure. He didnt game anything. More like, he was gamed by the system. This sentence is seriously misleading. Do NOT except a capable and cunning MC that can actually deal with hurdles through his wits and smarts. At least not anywhere till chapter 20.

  ★★ 2.0

  The grammar is good and the style of the writing. However i dont like the story or the man character or the worl he was put in. But you should give it a try mybe you will like it better. Cant really say exactly way i dont like it its hard to put my finger on it, i just dont.

  ★★ 1.5

  Web novels are great. Part of the reason for it is how they are easy to read.
  This novel is not.
  Story: Quite original, myth-based universe. Conflicting in how forwards and backwards it is. They have multi-plannetary internet accessible by trillions of people, but are still close minded in regards to race and social status.
  At one point a character even talks trash about reality, how we destroy nature and move on to the next new shiny thing at a moments notice, but the author seems to forget he is writing a dark fantasy where conflict and exploitation of the weak are the norm.
  Grammar: The author is fairly well-spoken, using words I never heard before. Unfortunately, this makes his mistakes all the more jarring. I get the impression he often forgets to delete words he originally ment to, making phrases sound like making phrases read like this.
  Character: MC has a fairly wholesome backstory with a irritating but acceptable amount of angst. Unfortunately, by chapter 18 he doesn't feel like the character the backstory established. I was specially looking forward to the comedy he mentioned, but as you can see by the tags, this novel doesn't have much of it at all.
  And now the deal breaker, Style: A lot of words that don't say anything, unnecessary and pace-breaking purple prose, verbose explanations worse than info-dumps.
  No question is answered directly, it must be answered in a roundabout way preluded with unnecessary contextualizing and analogies.
  I strongly wish to motivate the writer to continue writing because I can clearly see a lot of people like this stuff, but I cannot recommend anyone to read this unless you can embrace this style of writing, if you can't, it only becomes more infuriating the more you read it.
