- AllstarallRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The Style. It is amazing. How else would you make someone feel the ‘feels’ for the mc on the very first chapter? It makes you feel the mood and atmosphere every time the scene changes. The story has a sh*t ton of potential. It was set-up very nicely too.Grammar. Perfect as I can tell. Great readability.Characters. You can see their personality just by the way they act and talk! Hard to forget, and leaves an impression. Not robots at all!No harem, but there is romance. That’s a whole extra point. Need more boys and less male noble bastards.HELLA OP. I mean damn. Mc is more powerful then his friend, and his friend can be considered one of the most powerful people in the world.
- claws8367Royal Road★★★★ 4.0Just gonna leave a small description…
– Has a slow writing style, but this is mostly because of the story line
– Grammar and spelling is fine, if there were any mistakes i didn’t catch them.
– Really nailed the characters in the prologue, just have my concerns with the female character at this point in time. (Chapter 9)
– Now about why my rating was average for the story:
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!!
The mc is OP, but you could have made that assumption from the description. This causes the story to slow down hard, there is no pressure to get stronger, instead he will do things what someone who has been dead for a long time will do. But that doesn’t mean he is the strongest being out there, but it is hinted at. So far it’s been mostly world building. My concerns with the story is that it will turn in a mostly slice of life story based in a fantasy world. - DaiZRoyal Road★★★ 2.5In the beginning the story was quite interesting with the whole dead emperor and closest friend taking over but is immediately betrayed. But those characters fade away other than the emperor who is the mc and the whole betrayel seemed uneeded and was executed by a fucking guard captain lol. Would have made so much more sense if it was by a noble. Dialogue feels unnanatural and forced. Feels like im reading a badly written script for a play. There is no comedy tag and yet there is comedy present, mainly through the MCs dialogue. His humour is downright so cringey that I literally skipped his dialogue just to try and get through a chapter. Enrolling in a academy? Why do that when you are literally at the very peak? Literally at god level and the MC and his little sidekick go to school. Thats as far as I got into the story as I could not read another chapter. So exited just to be bummed out again like so many stories on this site.
- AlkreiRoyal Road★★ 2.0Don't take that slice of life tag lightly.
Story: I don't find anything enthralling and engaging about the story. The progression of the story is incredibly slow because it gets overrun by slice of life.
Dark plot is unrealistic and boring.
I was very disappointed in chapter 9,character and story wise. A commentator brought it up there though.
Charaters:
We have an OP MC that make no sense and is inconstant. He kills a Lord because he was bad, but he leaves the bigger branch of bad guys alone(unless they "try something" ),even though he said that he could wipe them out.
We also have another MC, Seffy. She is a nonsensical and forced MC . Her situation: Pitiful sex slave that gets rescued because *cliche and nonsensical reason here*. The 1st MC then gives her everything. Voila, a forced 2nd MC. In short, she's a horrible, unrealistic and nonsensical character. That chapter 9...*sigh*
Antagonists so far have no personality and seems like they are just there for the female MC to destroy. They are unrealistic and monotone.
