I can't wait to see where this story goes, the writing is impressive! I'm here for it! The concept behind a 'breaking the chains' story for the villain is very interesting. I have no doubt that this story will take off if the author keeps up with the writing!
Can't wait for the next chapter. If you want an easy read with lots of action, this is it!

Probably my favorite series on this platform so far. Easily one of the most underrated authors too. I can't wait to see where the rest of this story goes. I have been readying since he came out with Chapter 8 honestly, it keeps getting better and better with every new chapter.
I'm caught up

This is a fantastic read, with a breakneck pace that makes you keep clicking next chapter even when you need to study. Chapter 7, in my humble opinion, is definitely the standout chapter, with a fantastic SPOILER twist. it feels like the real turning point of the story so far.
Before I get into anything, I like the way he describes the fight scenes, each power feels fleshed out and used perfectly here, but also with interesting applications regarding certain abilities, and its nice to see each spoiler fight in ways that actually reflect their personality.
The prose are great, and the way the author describes things just makes each scene vivid and detailed. And got to mention that some of the lines this man has written are next level. I would use a specific example, but idk if that would be spoilers or not, so Im just saying that the final lines on chapter 3 are bone chilling, and that one of the descriptions in chapter 6 for a certain someone that effected the protagonist (inadvertently) and effected themselves in response was beautifully tragic.
its still early, but from what I've seen the world feels alive, with a detailed magic system and complex political shenanigans going on in the background that I cant wait to be revealed.
the character work is fantastic, and the brothers relationship is deliciously complex, with both of them feeling fully fleshed out and thought through.
oh, and Edric is just straight fire.
