Description

Escana is a world where war is but another round of a game, the Reign of Chaos, a game that the Gods have been playing for eons. On Escana, war is merely a form of entertainment for the Demon Lords to sate their hunger for destruction and their thirst for power.Escana is a place where peace is but an illusion, a calm before a storm, and the short breaks between the games. All mortals, human, dwarves, elves and the other races living on Escana, they are consigned to live inside that living hell from the moment of their birth.It should be just another unspectacular round of The Reign of Chaos. It should be just another dulled war among the great many that have been fought before this. It should be just another day and another year.And yet, in this newest round, appeared a prince who is prophesized to bring about an end to everything. Fearless is his name, a man of many identities. A jokester. A charlatan. A lover. An Ender. He is a self-proclaimed the-world-biggest-fool among the most foolish. He is the Prince among princes.

The writing style of this story may not be one of the best in this site. But, it is certainly immersive.
While the story seems slow paced, it makes up for interesting world building and different kind of characters that's certainly have depths.
The Main lead is likeable, not a hero or villain but something in between. He also has a charisma that let him have a upper hand from the others. i kinda get Dantalian vibe from him or it is just me?
All in all it is a wonderful story that you should read as soon as possible

What piqued my interest was the title of the story. And I am grateful that I read it.
The characters have life, they are not just shadows that fade away from your mind. The protagonist has a charm that leaves its mark on you. And the story is engaging and fun to read.
It's one of the best stories on this site, however, it's a hidden gem. And it's underappreciated at that.
Grammar is not perfect, but it can be excused since it's not the writer's first language. It's readable and gets better with later chapters.
What one needs to truly focus on here is the Story and the Characters! They are perfect!
I hope the writer keeps working on the story and finishes it. Thank you!

This fiction, if it could even be called so, deserves to be placed with among the best of it's kind. I apologize as I cannot fully articulate my feelings and this art as it should be, however I would nevertheless try anyway.
Spoilers, here and there, beware.
This book tells the tale of the individual named Fearless, who, by some circumstances yet to be revealed, was resurrected into a game world where he was known by the world for being champion in it with his team.
Now, my take on the book. The emotions the author has weaves about using the characters, as if they were fully human beings, sometimes they had even more emotions than I did, but using me as a human example would be an unfair comparison, but I digress.
The writing, the plot, all of them meld together so wonderfully that I am drawn to finish the whole book no matter what it takes.
Well, that's it, as I said before, I apologize for the lack of words for this book.
All the best to the author, may you grow even better than now.

It's amazing how your characters truly feel like they are unique and stand out.
The MC feels like a real person, a real star in his world, a really funny character and a weirdly charismatic person. And he is really the meat of this story. Yet, he is insane and broken as a person and still I want to support him.
I'm already on board with the two female characters, they are almost as insane as the MC and I love them to dead for that
You also have done a good job at the world building, it feels real and vivid. And they are done in way that it does not seem like they are just exposition dumping. There are quite a number of grammar mistakes that i can spot, but they are trivial. You can get them out of the story with a little bit more effort in proofreading and editing.
I truly hope you don't drop this wonderful story midway because it's just that wonderful.

Great Story with plenty of lengthy chapters. The character development in this novel is fantastic. Grammar has improved since the start of the story and only the occasional wrong wording is used. Patience is needed when reading this story, there is a lot of foreshadowing and build up used throughout the story that becomes relevant later on.
The Flashbacks in the first volume could have been condensed more however, they did contribute to the story a great deal. They especially contributed to the build up and understanding of the characters.
Its a story the be savoured overtime great read so far!

First real time trying to review, bare with me.
The author's pretty great with all of his different, and expressive, blurbs before and after chapters. He seems like a really expressive and fun guy, and it shows pretty well in his work. It's halarious and real at the same time.
The overall style of the series is all about just getting in there and going nuts, and it's fun!
The characters almost seem like the author's using parts of himself for each, and they really do feel real, even if some aren't the most developed.
There's also a fair bit of flashbacks which probably could have been actually put into the text instead and saved alot of trouble, but it's fun in it's own way.
The biggest weakness is the author is not a native speaker and you can really tell in his early chapters. But he seemed to find a mentor that worked after a dozen or so chapters, and you really start to see him come into his own after that!
The story's chaotic, but that's part of the fun. You probably won't like the story if you want everything neet and tidy, but you'll enjoy it if you want just raw enjoyment. For me, it's more fun that way, even if the story's a bit messy. Plus, the girl characters are really fun and the author has found a new passion for torturing the -kinda- MC character (in a good way) so i've had my love of the story renewed!!!

As a P.S. The author's looking to publish Vol 1. !!! That means we'll get a remastered version!! Super excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

For me, this novel is a Guilty Pleasure more so than anything else.
You can absolutely tell this is the author's first work, and that they put a lot, and I mean a lot of effort into the novel. They edited several chapters, and likely all the better for it.
Regardless, the grammar is obviously not from someone native to English, and it does show to varied degrees in each chapter. Less so in the edited ones, but the author seems to have stopped being as self-critical, and just running with it in the latest chapters I've read.
By no means am I actually done reading, but that will likely take some time given the size, and the time I have to read.
Setting aside the hiccups first, I simply ador stories a-la Dungeon Defense, and the fact work is a guilty pleasure should show that. While not nearly as intricate as DD opened out to be, I am a sucker for a Neutral-Evil or Lawful-Evil character like Dantalion, and the author recreates that same sort of feel in Fearless. Apt name that.
I won't ask for more in a rush knowing the Author is struggling with personal affects, and wish to give him all the regards I am able to muster.
My appreciation to you, and hope you all the best Mr. Duc

I tried to read a dozen chapters but my eyes cant keep reading this. I can ignore small grammar mistakes. I recommend you spend a year or 2 studying english properly. You repeat A LOT of stuff more than a few times
As for the story? I needs more work.
