Description

Rick made new rules for himself every few days. But there was only one rule that he truly always followed- Don’t stretch your legs more than the size of your blanket. The way to success was by not drawing unwanted attention.

But when the Inter-planar wars began, Rick had no other choice than to survive, and for that, he had to give up his laid-back lifestyle.

"Still not gonna be a hero!” Rick vowed.

Superhuman strength, agility, ability to use magic, telepathy, all sorts of talents emerged.

As heroes began to emerge among the population, Rick decided to take up the mantle of being the man in the shadows.

Slow start.
I would recommend everyone to give a go. The MC is not the strongest and the system is also unique. There are elements of summoning as well. And now there is a chicken pet.
There are grammatical errors here and there, but it does not really bother the overall flow.

This has been a slow book but a fun one. A novel of change, of wonderous magical power, and of survival in a land gone mad. The main character gets basically and encyclopedia of all magical knowledge... how to use it... well. That is the premise.

I will recommend it to everyone who want a new take apocalyptic story, to ppl who are tired of just mc grinding and getting random power increasing lucky encounters
First of all your idea is great but in your story I feel like you are not keeping to it. In your synopsis you told of an mc who wants to remain in shadows but in the story we see a kid who was able to bs through then later gave info randomly to a guy and then even to the entire market
The mc I thought of while reading the synopsis and even during the initial chapter was someone who was a fast thinker and we'll to be a lawyer he was smart but what you portray is a naive kid
Although there is not much character development but still it works if you just focus on the getting stronger and even the atmosphere or live of ppl in this new world like what's the politics or even how the mc uses his ability to sell or even change things through the "shadows "
I really liked your style of writing and was easy on the eyes(I.e. no grammatical errors that can be found if you are not looking for them)

It's a nice story structured like a wuxia. As other reviewers have stated, the synopsis is not really indicative of what the story is about, but if you like wuxia you should give it a try.

★★★ 2.5
Story is extremely similar to many chinese novels.
Not in the story department, but in the way words and sentences are structured, which I dislike hence 2.5 stars. Otherwise the story is ok, not exelent but definetly not bad.

So I have some major issues with this story.
First, our main character Rick. Who the hell is Rick? No, really. Who is he, as a person? I didn't really pick up on this until we got to the part where he met Julia and her camp. Before that, he was this teenager that had fortune drop into his lap that had no specific goal other than to get stronger because... alien invasion? To command his kinda-underling demons? To protect his sister, who's way stronger than him? I have no idea. But then he walks into the camp and all of a sudden he's Rick, Master of Trades and Merchant of the Dark. And then he meets Julia and he's back to being Rick, awkward teenager. Characters have to be consistent, and if they aren't, there must be a reason for it. The easiest way to do this is to give your character an overarching goal. Why does he get up every morning and go through his day? You could say: to prepare for the alien invasion. But that's such a vague and distant goal and it's never really emphasized on. We need a more personal goal. Something that shapes the character and something that he fights for. It could be revenge, to find something, to survive under a immediate and daunting time limit (that will be enforced, and must have visible consequences), to protect someone who has been established as close to the character and relatively defenseless, etc. If a character doesn't have a defined objective that we can reference his actions towards, every step he takes will seem random and thus make your character inconsistent.
Second, characters' growth. Rick doesn't seem to deserve his power. He didn't do anythig to get it, he's never in danger (except for that one time with Erin and Alex), and he never meets any setbacks except for the need to grind and earn money. This results in his power feeling undeserved. If for every iota of power he gains he works hard for it, and for every new skill he gains, he bled tears of blood, it would all be deserved and justified. I'm not saying to beat

The overall style of the writing is slightly below average and nothing original. The basic story is nothing original, with several parts extremely similar to half a dozen different stories on here alone, with the main difference being they are far less thought out and much more badly written. The grammar starts off ok and then takes a dive bomb a few chapters in. And the characters are completely bland and barely described at all. Overall, it is a shoddy piece of junk that needs to be completely rewritten with major changes made to it and with a dedicated editor looking over it in order to be any good.

The first chapter was the best and the only good chapter of this story.
Potential? NO. Plotholes start at ch 30. At least the author knows this is just a draft and is willing to improve.
Execution past chapter 2: shit to shittier.
Edit:I think i understand now, after reading past ch 19. The author sucks at making realistic interactions between his sister and any other person beside his subordonates,making him feel like he has multiple personality disorder or smth similar.
Filler prologue from ch 4 to 19. The story become bearable after ch 20 and enjoyable after 24. Dropped for good after readin ch 32. Neah man, i forgive bad grammar and bad character developement but not forced plotholes.
Don't waste your time here untill some serious edits are done
