Description
The tale of Michael Ramsey."Who's he?"", you ask.Read it and find out.Story not related to The 8th Day in any manner.This is something different that I thought I'd try out and have some fun with from time to time. No release schedule is promised, so don't expect one. I'll simply work and write on this adventure when the mood strikes me. We may have 100 updates in one day, and not have any updates for 100 days...As for what it actually is?That's S. E. C. R. E. T!(In other words, I'm not certain where this story is going to take me yet. Decide for yourself if you want to follow along on the ride as I uncover where and what it's about as it grows and evolves!)

- SunroseRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I find this story fun to read, and a little comical also. As for the setting of the story ~ Darkbringer has put thought into the customs, traditions, and cultures of the people in the story. Yes, there is sex going on, but it doesn't take away from the story line, simply adds to it. It's part of the culture, and it is recognized as that.
The character development has been good - the guy started out in modern day, and was reborn into a different time, world with magic and such. A complete different way of life. Darkbringer even starts the story with the MC being a child and growing up, which I personally think is awesome. DB has done a good job with the MC dealing with the changes his new life has set before him.
I truly enjoy the authors style of writing. The way DB writes brings the whole story to life in one's imagination and even though you may not actually leave your house you still seem to go on a wonderful adventure and see what the MC sees. Keep up the good writing and story telling.
The author is a true bard of story telling!! IMHO - RabidcerealRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5The story has some interesting concepts and is well written with very few grammatical or spelling errors. I like where the story is going and it has good pacing. Some of the interactions feel just a bit weird, but overall very good.
- InjusticeRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5searched for your posts because I loved The 8th day and found another great read! I love this one too! Keep it up man!!
- SobekRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I like the premise the world its set in and everything else is good. However, it seems to be a reaccuring scene in fictions where the MC hides his strength or chooses not to use it for stupid decisions. it is also a reaccuring theme where when a 20-40 year old gets reinarnated as a baby they suddenly get the mindset of a kid again and make stupid childlike decisions even if they were fucking ronald regan in their last life. I mean if I was reincarnated I wouldnt suddenly become a retard. Also was it really necissary to make the dad fuck EVERYBODY even the important female characters? I feel like you were super horny the entire time you wrote the first 10 chapters.
- easygoingimRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I started the 8th day when you started posting it and I enjoyed it at first but ultimately dropped it early (checking a chapter here and there since then) because your main character just didn't fit with what I and a lot of people hoped.
The main character in this series seemed to be going in the right direction but I've got to tell you that having the first two main heroines sleep with the MC's father for years and implying a bondage play is just not a good decision to make
you can stick in that the world is casual about sex in any number of ways but honestly people read these first person perspective power-trip stories because they empathize with the main character, a lot of people are going to get to the point in your story where they realize that the main characters first love interests are sleeping with his father and they're just going to stop reading
not only that but there's honestly no reason for it, it's just pure self sabotage of your story for the sake of throwing it in, why?
otherwise the story is enjoyable, the magic is a little vague the main character could use more fleshing out and his limitation doesn't really make sense (not being able to imagine teleporting because he came from earth?)
love interests that spent years sleeping with his father and ones married to someone else is a major turnoff to a lot of people but overall your grammar and structure are good the story flows and it seems like it could head in an interesting direction (like the 8th day did at first) but I honestly believe that if you want this to garner a lot of popularity and support you have to take care of the love interests, people empathize with the main character and nobody wants to see the main heroines with anyone else.
just my thoughts, was enjoyable overall - manhattansuiteRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Honestly, the beginning started off very well. the introduction of the MC and the unfortunate events that led to his death seemed well thought out and the story looked to have a lot of potential. However, I ended up dropping the story rather quickly because of these reasons:
1) The father sleeps with every single girl on the island, on a constant basis.
Often, a harem is introduced because it increases the male MC's masculinity as well as appeal to the common heterosexual male reader. When it is the father of the MC that gets all the girls while the MC isn't doing anything about it (especially when it comes to his "first love" and "second love", it puts off a lot of the male readers because we don't feel any sort of connection or envy with/towards the MC.
Also, truly speaking, i don't think anyone normal can't relate to the MC. For real, do you fall in love with the woman your father is actively fucking on a daily? At most, they should only become a motherly or sisterly figure. While this may be a different world where all the cultural values might be different, but through the reader's social lenses, this is absolutely disgusting. Seriously, its extremely weird that he's okay with sharing the girl he's in love with, with anyone, let alone his father.
If you think about it, forming the harem around his father seems absolutely unnecessary. Why make it so that losing your virginity allows you to practice magic easier? why even bother with making the father a harem maker when the MC will leave the island and you probably won't see the father again until just before he dies? In fact, there seems to be little reason to even have the father around. The mother is old enough to have just learned swordsmanship on a whim and be an absolute master in it.
2) MC has little to no scenes where he regrets his actions.
The MC killed over a hundred people. You can't just pass that over as "it was an accident, so its not my fault". NO. unless the MC is a psychopath or sociopath, or h - KromedRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Overall your story is well written, a few grammar mistakes here and there but honestly compared to RR standards its good enough. Now i have pushed forward with this story despite being extremely put off by something during the beginning chapters which i will elaborate later on.
The flow of the story has been very well done apart from the middle chapters when MC and CO are in the 'dungeon', honestly those chapters were a crawl to read, as each was just exposition among exposition, i never really felt the character was making much progress during that part.
I could elaborate more but honestly i just want to get to the main point here on why exactly i am gladly dropping this FF, first off you must understand that these sorts of OP MC, LOTS OF HAREMS YEEEEHHH MAAAAN OR WOMEEEENNN!!!! stories are purely for the self indulgence of the people reading, the reason why people love these stories is to place themselves in the main characters position, empathize and sink into the story of the novel.
Now you were doing good in the beginning, well thought out backstory, and well written...then came the infamous 'FATHER' harem *sigh*. truth be told i thought this was completely vile, it was weird, disgusting, and outright idiotic plot point in the story. HOWEVER, i watch Game Of Thrones so i'm fairly desensitized on uhh 'controversial' topics, but then you had the main character fall in LOVE with the girls that HIS FATHER is nailing repeatedly over the years, and you actually brushed it off as something natural??? WTF??
Not to mention that the father having sex with the love interests practically brought nothing to the story except making the readers cringe, and as you're reading the story that certain thought is literally in the back of your mind everytime the MC talks to the girls.
Sorry this is turning into a rant, instead of a review, but honestly i tried really hard to invest myself into the story, tried to look past that point, wondering, hoping in some way there is a better - DragknaRoyal Road★★ 2.0Maybe have just had his dad dead from old age already and avoid all that weird stuff that ruined the start of the story… or just make it so that sex isn't a magic requirement in some weird unexplained way.
Also, please don’t bother with reincarnation unless the main character is at least mature after reincarnation. If they’re just as childish as everyone else their own age or more so after reincarnation then it just doesn't fit.
The reason I’m upset enough to do a review is because it’s a story with a huge amount of potential and some great content hidden behind a bunch of akward stuff that's a big turn off to readers or at least some of them.
I honestly think you would get at least another star without his dad f*cking everything with a hole in it repeatedly and if the MC was a bit more mature. - Mr.WhiteCalciumRoyal Road★★ 1.5No problems with grammar or anything else.The problem here is After his rant in The 8th day story he got a lot of rep and respect mine too.But that doesn’t mean you should pump out nudist propaganda everywhere.It probably is your fetish not Cramping your style everyone got some but tone it down.It might help with the Incoming hate.No qualms with story its decent but the world building is sub par.The MC is a pathetic wimp.
You guys are too kind on Darkbringer Sure some of his stories are nice but not all get over it .Give him constructive criticism instead of sarcastic reviews about NTR - Jtw1000Royal Road★ 0.5Hate it fking dad ntring the mc BS. Lets fall in love with someone to see his dad fk them FOR YEARS. If I was the mc I would of choppped off his dads d*ck so fast you have no idea
