Description

Despite being a young master of the Zearthorn sect, Neave is not a cultivator. And if he can have his way, he never will be. Years of daily beatings, bullying, and abuse haven’t been enough to make him change his mind, and the ultimatum from his father won’t be either.

Forced to choose between an arranged marriage and a path of cultivation, Neave makes a third choice. In a desperate, last-ditch attempt, he enters a secret vault and encounters a treasure.

A book he should have never touched.

Trapped in a hellish time loop of death and suffering, he fights waves of demons in an impossible challenge of skill, creativity, and perseverance.

What will happen when he finally returns?

Oblivious to the apocalypse he had become.

Unaware of the horrors he had dragged outside.

//////////

The first book of the series, The Jester of Apocalypse: Eternity, is out on Amazon, available through Kindle (Kindle Unlimited) and Audible!

I hate them because I read too many. This is still ultimately a cultivation novel, but instead of training arcs where the MC eats pills and practices an ancient spirit technique , this MC eats everything and kills himself. Pretty good stuff.
Plus I'm a sucker for mysterious glitch text in a story.

Hey, so, um... read it.
The only minor spoiler that I will give is that while the loop is part of the story it seems like a really long setup arc.
I like the antics of the unhinged MC :D
The novel itself shows promise in being one of the novels I check daily for updates for here on out.

The novel is absolutely stunning in world and character design also the plot if very well planned out. Also the powering up of the Mc feels like he's earned it for all the crap he's been through so it's very refreshing.
the Mc is a very smart Mc before and after his transformation, but if you don't like mad scientist vibes or you like a Mlp type where there is a very clear line of good vs evil this novel isn't for you cause everyone is cunning and evil just waiting to backstab you

TL;DR: It is absolutely fantastic. Please give it a try!
Overall: I am really impressed. The loop portion of the story was well written. It depicted demonic wasteland without getting too gross. The story was well paced and moved outside the loop before things got tedious. The story is well paced and the characters are multifacted and show growth.
Style: Predominantly third person limited perspective with the vast majority focused on the MC. Alternate view points are used sparingly and do not go on at length. Author does a great job of not bringing in pointless things.
Grammar: No issues noted. Good diction. Corrects errors pointed out in comments.
Story: Absolutely fantastic. The pre-loop was short but did a great job introducing the characters and their motivations. The loop was appropriately long without getting tedious; things were not overly drawn out but it was very clear it was not without struggle and harm. Post loop has been interesting and the author is clearly setting up both short term and long term conflicts. Really impressive stuff.
Character: Really well done! The MC started as a bratty child who refused to cultivate and believed that made him morally superior. He was forced to confront this belief and grow from it. So far numerous characters have shown growth. Overall, the author has a stable of interesting characters with a host of abilities and has shown the ability to have a character arc. Looking forward to seeing what comes along.

I love this novel due to the potential it gives and the author is good at finding the avenues of the ways he could write this story. This story probably has a chance to be on par to one of the best stories of this site. I like the way it's written, it's way of showing conflict, and how
fun it is to have shinier chains than others.
Sheers to a good reading.

Its been so long since ive read it that im definitely due for a reread, but from what i remember this series was goated, had me waiting for every chapter absolutely enraptured. From what i remember it starts off pretty slow but quickly speeds up, all while still being of relatively the same quality

I went in without really expecting much. But hot daaamn was it good like really really good. The mc is awesome. Honestly he gives of some feels of a reincarnated individual. Like the way he thinks and trolls around sometimes. And I'm starting to think that really is the case. Altogether really good novel waiting for hiatus to end now tho.

As I read the first chapter I fell in love with this book, lol, you hardly find good, well written, time loop stories out there but this one has it. The characters have depth and personality which is rare for a cultivation novel, they are understandable and even relatable in some cases. The world itself is done just right, you are given information but not too much information, it leaves you with an idea and a need to know more. Overall, I'm enjoying this and look forward for more exciting and interesting content.

I'm not skilled at writing reviews and voicing my opinions so this will be fluffy but whatever.
This book has been very enjoyable so far and I expect it to continue that way. I like the craziness and unexpectedness with the mc. I like the weirdness/uniqueness of the power system in this novel, more so referring to the spirit trials. I like the stuff going on behind the scenes and the possible showdowns/opportunities/ whatever else you wanna call it being setup.
Now that I've hopefully reached the word limit l hope this dinky little review hides in some dark corners to never be seen.
Good job tho author :) 👍

So, i would like to start from the fact that I now hate you Mister Author, I just finished the first book and I was totally hooked until, well, it ended. So now I have to wait but the book was so good that I can't read other stuff cause it feels underwhelming. Pls give me back my will to read other books thanks.
