Description
Gods, Demons, Roland has friends among both. And enemies. As a person who's strength rivals those at the peak of power, Roland likes to live life at hie leisure. Passive most days, immovable on as a mountain on others. Yet nothing is without a price, and the time to pay up once again is drawing closer fast. *** Four mortals stand inside a large hall. Having reached the end of a long journey, their last chance at survival rests in a dangerous Summoning that could leave them crippled. But they have no other option left to them. Cursed by a mysterious group of beings for reasons unknown and currently hunted by enemies far outmatching them in strength, they gamble everything on the hope that someone answers their call. *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Things like NTR, rape and the like are things i hate so if people are worried about that stuff i want to let you know that those things will not be happening. EDIT(June 18): So I should warn you guys, I have been told that the chapters have too many info dumps. This is a shortcoming that i am now aware of thanks to comments and reviews mentioning that fact. Since i know many readers enjoy the character interactions much more, that is what im planning to increase with my future chapters. I would say only my more recent chapters have decent amounts of character interactions and this is what i will take a larger focus on from now on. Although there will still be information presented, I intend to not make them so long. If you can get past the info dumps, you may like the story. Who knows. EDIT(August 19): The summary above is new. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont usually do this... but if you like TLK, this story, then feel free to check out my other work: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/5893

- AlcatrazRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0the fiction is very original in its own way an OP character but not perfect , and perfect world and characters
the story is very emotional but it makes you smile to.
I think the author is very talented and should keep up with story (at least for a few years !)
well whatever only problem i think with the story the MC think to much between the conversations ! its not soo bad but it would be better without it . and need more interaction with people but i think the story is great.
MESSAGE TO THE AUTHOR: I thank you for this chapter . and i hope you make more reunions specially ga....na , it would be not fair . - ArkhamRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Just found this story and what a gem it was. Previously only three stories on royal road had me hooked but now it's defo gonna be four. Everything I love in novel is there. The interactions between characters are good and really hope there are scenes in the future where we can see how truly OP the MC is.
Although the grammar could improve slightly, and there should be more interactions between the MC and lilith and some other characters, overall this story is awesome. Keep it up man, and hopefully you get to finish this story. - SesamechiknRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Just wanted to say love your plan for the story and thank god no NTR. Wanted to give you a good rating because I enjoyed it and hope other people see it.
- sabazurcRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story has everything I want from action fantasy novel. It has OP mc, interesting world,good fights, different types of cultivation methods are presented and properly explained. There are many interesting figures from different mythologies and that makes this story even more interesting. though there are some grammar mistakes in earlier chapters, but nothing major. This story is very enjoyable to read, it is definitely one of the hidden gems of this website.
- HexwolfxRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I really like this series its a good read and has a neat ideas. I hope to see who he has s-- with first, and also hope gos into details like re;hamster
- liuheiRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5good plot, op mc , the writing become better as the story progress
overall good job writer :) - ElectricIcecreamRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Story
As far as I know this is a new way to tell a 'summoned to another world' story, where the summoned being is not a human who is asked to defeat the Demon Lord or something. I agree with you (author) that the story is a bit too slow paced, but I've only read up to chapter 18 so far, so maybe you've changed that already, in which case, good for you. Even though I haven't read much of it, I can already see the story going in many possible directions, which is nice. So far there is no end goal in sight, which I miss, because so many stories have no such goal, making them endless, giving the author no change at all to finish the story and giving it a satisfactory end. So please give that a thought.
Style
You write mostly in third person POV, but also in first person. Sometimes you even interchange these completely different points of view, which is a bit disturbing. It has gotten a lot better since the earlier chapters where you started with 3. pers POV and then suddenly, mid-paragraph changed to 1. pers.
Your story is also written in past tense, a style that goes well together with third person POV. However, there are occasions where you suddenly change the story telling to present tense, and I'm not quite sure if it's intentional. If you wouldn't mind spending some time to re-read the first five chapters of your story, you'll find several such occasions.
Grammar
Here's a list of things you should keep an eye out for:
Apostrophes (')SpacingCapital lettersTyposLike all stories, yours contains contractions (two words pulled together - won't, doesn't etc), but your problem here is that you straight out either don't know or don't care about the apostrophe in these words. Have a look at your earlier chapters and you'll find them riddled with such unnecessary mistakes. I checked the most recent chapters and saw that you've started using apostrophes now, which is nice to see.
Mistakes in spacing is another important factor that many people find annoying to see in a story - Forgotten LordRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Damn the story is good but has to go Haitus. The way the story was shown is so gooood.The author also try to covered up the plot holes but I don’t think they affected the story too much, Or they did? Don’t know. One of the good thing about the story is that the characters aren’t one dimensional. Though the story don’t have good grammar that dosent really distracts you from enjoying the story. The story makes you laugh , sometimes sympathy, and various emotions. It is a well balanced story with a good plot and pace I would say but I wouldn’t say it dosent have mistakes so that ration goes 4.5
- PandaZzzRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0The concept of the story is good.
You’ve got an OP MC who is stronger than even the most ancient of gods. However, he is only 19 years old.
This is because after he reaches a certain age he goes through a reincarnation that he has no control over,
losing his memories of his previous life. This causes him to have many relations with people across planes and worlds, which made me anticipate the reunions in the future.
However, the problem is that to this point of the story, a majority of it has been info dumps after info dumps.
There is little to no interactions between the MC and side characters besides Loki and Reina. Sadly, even Reina only interacts with him for about 2 chapters.
You should probably involve the side characters into the world of the MC as well. Even the many students he trains are like automatons who don’t talk or say anything. There are only descriptions of them spreading rumors and talking about the MC. Descriptions on how the girls blush at him or the students being scared of him. There are no unique students, teachers, or characters that really spice up the story.
At one point, you described a young, pretty librarian leading a group of students in the library Roland was currently in, but then she was quickly gone after a story of how those upperclassmen wanted to test the MC(new teacher) out after hearing the cruel rumors. Even a greeting would probably suffice, but there is none of that.
Instead, of students just scramming should probably include even little quotes such as “KYAHH” or something that makes them have more personality.
All in all, the story has potential and the concept intrigues me, but there is too much descriptions
and little “story”.
This is just my review after reading up to chapter 16. Up to this point, 15 and 16 are the ones that actually have dialogue after the conversation between Loki and Roland in the early chapters. Maybe you’ve already improved this shortcoming in the 48 chapters you have out now, but it just really fr - KaellomRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5I've read up to chapter 7 so far. The story is a fresh idea, it's a mishmash of different mythologies, allowing you to play around with the 'supernatural' side of it as you like.
The only issue with your writing is due to a lack of proofreading. I'm not even talking about Grammar, in the first chapter there are mistakes in punctuation and also spelling errors as well, not to mention the other chapters.
Some sound advice I would give would be to read through your story and correct the mistakes you have made, if you can get someone else to do it for you that's even better (an extra pair of eyes spots more mistakes).
You could also include some more characters, it's a bit boring when Roland is only talking to one other character, for instance introduce some more of the students in his class that have a variety of different personalities.
Another suggestion I might add would be to add more detail to the scene where Roland meets the class he's teaching, you could have done so much more with that! Give a description of the students, what they looked like, what their reactions were too him, did they glare at him? Where they surprised when they saw him enter the room?
All in all. this story is a raw diamond that needs a lot of polishing! But once that's done, this will be a top grade story.
P.S. look up the difference between showing and telling in writing, it's useful info to know.
