Description

Unless you are asadistic maniac who enjoys constant suffering of a human being,I strongly advise younot to readthis novel.

Yu Valarfin is a young university student who has lost his family and is alone. While thinking there is nothing tying him to life, he receives a phone call and has to leave his house. But when he opens the door, he is confronted by a world he has never seen!

Finding himself trapped outside the door in a fit of absent-mindedness, Yu is forced to undertake an impossible mission filled with witches, demons and death, with no power to help him.

Must read that notes before starting (please):

1)I am writing the original version in Turkish, this is atranslation.

2)It's a slow-paced story.

3)And when I say slow, it's really, rea~lly, rea~~llyslow. Even slower than you can ever think.

4)If you're the kind of reader who says after 30 chapters"I've read too much, now I want the character to be strong", this is definitely not for you.

5)The story will be longer than 15 arcs and events will start around arc 3. So the first two arcs arelike a prologue to the story(yes, 220,000 words long prologue).

6)The reason why the story is so long is that I want to give arealistic view of character and story development. You may not see much in one arc, you will see things as the next arcs come.

7)Since the original version is in Turkish (and my English is not very good, I use DeepL) you may see some grammatical problems. Probably the most common one is the he/she problem because my language doesn't have a he/she distinction. I'm trying to improve my English, but if you say it's too bad, I can stop the translation and continue after I've improved more, or if you point out my mistakes, I'll try to fix them.

PLEASE DO NOT READ IF:

1)you have no tolerance for narcissistic characters.

2)you are not a masochist.

3)you are not patient.

I don't want to make you to read something that you don't like and I know the story is for a very small audience, so I don't want you to get bored,it's important that you read the notes.

    I'm one of the oldest readers. Yes, the story has a villain-hearted writer. But don't worry we have Yu Valarfin! He is the most powerful main character. His power comes from his love of Yurine!!
    You will be addicted to the Start. Only wait until Yurine chapters and you will be a Start-addicted person. I promise!

    It has a lot of potential with its great storytelling. The world-building is excellent, and the characters are interesting. The way the book portrays its dark world and Yu's gradual adjustment to it is really amazing. Another great aspect is that the main character is not overpowered; in fact, he is weak.

    I have encountered only a few novels that I can read carefully and describe as perfect, and this novel is one of them.
    The rare and extensive writing style of this precious series, despite having less than 10 chapters, managed to ignite a desire for analysis.
    The beginning of the story seems to evoke a profound sense of excitement and curiosity in the readers, which sets it apart and makes it even better than many other series. As the story progresses, I am sure that it will reach perfection, but for now, we have no choice but to wait and read more eagerly.
    The only thing i can say is ''well done''  to the author.

    I'll be honest, the grammar is okay for having been translated from Turkish with DeepL, but it's obvious that there are still some grammatical problems left. Perhaps I would be able to recommend the original Turkish story, but this choppily AI-translated reproduction isn't worth your time. Might have a decent story buried under it, but it's too much of a struggle to read at the moment.
