Description

Ollowyn’s Life began unlike any other. Born with snow-white hair, he was brought into the woods to die according to age old traditions. Left to the will of the gods, the helpless child waited for his death.

However, the gods showed mercy. A young wolf cub, lost and cut off from its mother, stumbled over the young Ollowyn. Half frozen to death and dead tired, it snuggled to the warm body. When it was found by the mother just hours later, Ollowyn already smelled like one of her own.

Adopted and cared for he grew up among wolves. He learned to live after the rules of the pack, continuously fighting to survive. As the years went by, he grew stronger than his brothers and sisters, hunted with different means.

But even though he loved and adored his family, he noticed more and more that he was different. No fur, no claws and as much as he tried, his teeth would never find prey by themselves. What made him different? The urge to find answers grew with every day, until he set out aged seven to find them.

But after days of searching hunger and exhaustion brought him to his knees as he collapsed on a dusty road.

    This is a great novel in itself, not just for Royal Road. The beginning could use some more backgroud, but that is just a minor thing to me. I love it, the characters are real and interesting, the story is compelling and keeps me reading. The world building is pretty good, although I am a bit confused of the situation where the MC is currently. I think it is a must read on this site. GOOD JOB AUTHOR :D

    I can't believe I almost gave up on royalroad and I find this gem here. Interesting, good pacing and grammar and spelling are almost perfect.
    Can't wait for more chapters.

    Follow the path of mighty ollowyn as he rises as a wolf from the pack a story that reminds me of Rome and the two infants which were raised in the wilds.
    Grammar: nice enough for me to read!
    Style: Prose is right although some parts might be better it is an unique style I haven't seen.
    Characters: OwO... Well, I wanted to howl here... Might not be related but... Hey it's enough characterization for reading.
    Story: Amazing world building and decent story.
    Read... Read!

    I thought this story was going to primarily focus on the boy, Ollowyn, but as of Chapter 14, a lot is focused on other characters and other events that Ollowyn is not really involved in. The story is still really good, but I was just expecting it to be more about Ollowyn. I'll keep on reading as more chapters come out.

    Sword of Ending is what i would see as a nice story, hidden between so many other stories on this site, it caught my attention at times, mainly due to the fact that it was being posted in two languages, which is no easy thing to do. Overall i have been pleasantly surprised by this story and its writing.
    The characters are quite good, especially Ollowyn, i like how the author wrote him, as a boy who grows up among wolves, and thinks like one would, this does really show during the early chapters, although i sort of want that part to be more explored, since it never is quite given the chance to be truly shown. Though that can still change as Ollowyn grows up. For other characters, as said they are good, but due to the fact that the story is still short, they arent given that much time to be actually developed, once again a fact that will change as more chapters are released. And then there are those Albae with their pure sadistic culture thats copied straight from another book.
    This story is quite like classic fantasy in premise and setting, with the world being heavy influenced by the Dwarves and The Legends of the Älfar books by Markus Heitz, with the Albae basically being straight copied from there, this is not exactly a bad thing, though some readers may find it odd. Overall  the world is distinct enough to stand on its own, despite those influences, the author has crafted a nice standard fantasy world.
    Though i sort of want to know where the plot will even head, there have been hints going on, but the movations of the MC are currently still unclear.
    Grammar is decent, but could be better, overall it is good enough to not be bothered by it, however there are typo's throughout the story along with odd sentences at times, the author usually fixes those when pointed out, the grammar is good considering the author is not a native english speaker, even more so due to the fact this story was posted originally in german, and the author translated from there.
    Good writing

    Story and characters are pretty decent, and grammar isn't too bad, but christ, the paragraph structure. Just blocks of text, literal blocks, rectangles all of roughly the same shape and size, it's so mesmerizing to read, it hurts my brain to read for too long, all is going dark, it's all so cold, only the blocks live now, only the blocks, the blocks, the blocks.
