    If this comes even remotely close to your last story you can't go wrong.
    I like it so far but 2 chapters isn't a lot to go on.
    Still have 5 stars cuz you finished your last story for now. (Which loads of people don't.)
    Edit: Read it. Loved it. Rated it.

    Some of the consistently best written stories I've read on royalroad. Even with only 4 chapters, the story feels pretty well thought out. The author obviously has an idea of where the story is going, which isn't always the case with webnovels. Looking forward to reading more chapters every four days!

    Really interesting psionics and concept. Similar to a slice of life but distinctly not, likewise similar to a powerfantasy but without all the weirdness writers tend to have in those, more a genuinely powerful character that's ment to be powerfull but that isn't a substitution for personality, intresting plot and delevopement of the story. The main character is essentially similar to that of the "old sage/teacher/god" background character that explains why a protagonist does so well, but more focused around their interactions with the universe at large

    this is anything like his previous stories, i'd say grab a bag of popcorn, but you'll be through far too many by the time you realize it's 6 in the morning and got no sleep. i have on more then one ocassion gotten in trouble in highschool for reading to much, and i'll say this is author is the culprit

    This was an amazing story that really drew me in. The characters were fun, the universe is interesting, and much of it follows concepts that aren't in many novels I normally read.
    The only negative thing is the fact that I probably will never see most of these characters again,
    outside of a possible cameo in your future books like you apparently did with Dee.

    About half way through the story a character was introduced which I recognised and it was at this point I realised, and then investigated that I was reading the next book from this author. From fantasy to sci-fi.
    I was happily surprised, the story was solid, it was easy to read and flowed nicely.
    The main character was always essentially OP bit that wasnt really the focus, to me it was the impact that person had on those around. Over coming loss and grief to find a new way in life.
    In the previous book I read and reviewed I was extremely disappointed in the ending, it felt rushed and didnt quite make sense on a few ways and I think you can see with this book the author has matured.
    It wasnt an amazing ending, it was quite open and in some ways was definitely feeding for the next book in this "universe" but it was an ending that felt natural.
    I enjoyed it quite a lot.

    Grammatically well written with enough interesting events to keep you engaged.
    As the author mentioned this book has some very unique design choices as part of an experiment. One such choice is the lack of a true antagonist. The story seems to be more an exploration of interacting with a representative of an ancient lost powerhouse then your standard weak to strong story.
    There is also a plot about the mc facing the emotional trauma of their loss and then moving on from there. I am a bit undecided on whether it is done well though as the mc being the definitive powerhouse in the universe means everyone has to tread carefully around her rather then engage in some full blown emotional confrontation events.

    I have rather mixed feelings about this one.  I like the others other work lamen of the fallen, even if the ending did feel a bit anticlimatic to me.  This one was really interesting though.  The author starts out by building a interesting world.  And the after that keeps building his world.  And keeps world building.  And it just never stops.  OK mr. author its an interesting world you've been building, but you can stop building it now?
    Like seriously the final chapter was announced and I was so shocked as the way things were going I GENUINELY thought the story was only about to begin now lol.
    That being said that a story can stay in 'world building' mode the entire time and still keep someone like be reading (someone who enjoys novels like re: hamster), is remarkable in and of itself and speaks volumes to the authors talent.
    But yeah, this was a bit of a weird one for me.

    The beginning is great alot of build up and anticipation the story seems interesting and the characters are good im 90+ chapters in and still going. Its well worth a read and i reccommend it.
    The Bad
    The way the plot moves forward is so damn awkward i cringe most the time it happens, you will find the crew gets to a junction in the story where a few characters just start throwing out guesses of what might of happen and then guess what their next action is, then they all theorize on all the different guesses and pick the best one and 9/10 times that is how it turns out. They have done this so many times in this novel im sure the author cant move the novel forward any other way but with this method.
    I know the bad is long winded its just a pet peeve of mine whenever i see it pop up which is often
    If you can ignore that its easily 4star

    The story was good and the characters were developing well, but it seems like the author got tired of it and wanted to move on so he ended it after what should've been the first arc. In the end it feels like a waste of a good story and my time.
