Description

The harbour Luc has been dropped into is not a normal one. It looks like a medieval town, it's full of strange people and some of them are waving magic around.

Luc will need to rely on new friends and his own determination to learn how to harness the magic of the Aether. He has to find his way back home.

Hi everyone,

This is my first story in English. Please tell me if I've used a word incorrectly.

It's a slow-paced, slice of life isekai focused on Luc's goal of going home, his learning of the magic and gathering the resources he needs to grow.

The chapters after the first one will be about 2-3k words long. I'll try to post at least once a week.

Hope you enjoy!

    Different to much of the stuff here on RR.
    Some of the decisions the MC makes are questionable at best. I mean if you're trying to hide who you are then why go around handing out spatial enchantments to everyone you meet?
    Minor complaints aside. The novel is well written, characters are fun and mostly fleshed out.
    Worth trying if you haven't already :)

    Good story written with proper structure, pacing and grammar.
    No action so far but it's just chap 15. It might take some time or just 1 chap more.
    The guy loves his wife and child and wants to go back. The way he feels is good. It's normal.People might find it whinny or something but that's because they haven't witnessed it in real life.
    Only con is that he is too trusting.He could fake it as an enchanter to make money etc.No need to announce his main class. But that's the way we get introduced to the bad guys in the future chapters i guess.
    Overall nice storytelling so far. Well done.

    A very nice story so far (chapter 14). It has a refreshing side and it somehow manages to be original.  The MC is still trying to find a place for himself in this new wolrd and i'm waiting for the MC to start doing things in earnest !
    Personnaly i love seeing him start a buisness, i'm the kind of guy who like the managing side of stories :)
    Keep up the good word Yohan ! :)

    The story is good, grammar is in check, all of the characters have lots of depth, but only the main character seems to lack depth, so I would work on that. Not the worst, but high up!

    This made me laugh:
    I was a little proud of the fact that he was so suspicious of me. It must have been my new clothes. Everybody who saw me in my dirty, Earth ones just pitied me. I had now gone from beggar to potential crook. It surely was a step up.
    You asked readers to offer corrections, so...
    `“I know!” he said, and clapped in his hand like an excited schoolboy.
    > clapped his hands resisted rough handling quite well <

    For those who have a problem with slower and non-action focused novels don't read this, maybe give it a shot and see that there are other things in life.
    For all the others then this is one of the top novels in RR and Scribble hub and far better than most Chinese low-quality crap. It is truly pretty good and even though I haven't cried I find the money-making ideas have blended well with the more serious tones of the story as well as the magic, that actually flows really well because of the soft and less restricted system style word

    The story is good, idea and wold are interesting, characters have enough depth to feel real, just the main character seems to lack depth and introspection on the human condition and not just the one goal of get home.
  • Peacepipe1Royal Road
    ★★★★ 3.5
    The MC is a likable fellow that doesn't seem to plan very far ahead. They work towards a goal and that is pretty much it. Unfortunately, they have a problem adjusting to their new surroundings. They are told to hide, but their ambition is too great and they wind up showing themselves anyway.
    The first installment is kind of rough. Just get through it and enjoy the rest of the story. It is not an action story and this lends the story a different sort of feeling.

    ★★★★ 3.5
    This story is too bland for me to enjoy the fantasy/magic elements that I prefer to see with action, yet not relaxing enough for me to enjoy it as a slice of life/crafting story.
  • rulerhadesRoyal Road
    ★★★ 2.5
    It's okay, not great, not bad, not even particularly good. It doesn't really have anything that sets it apart and makes me want to read it. I can set it down after 15 chapters and not care so much about how the rest of the story plays out.
    Style: Formatting issues make it a pain to read at times and lack of contractions can make the text seem robotic in nature.
    Story: Guy gets transported to a system-esque world with magic. A lot gets put to the wayside in favor of following the protagonists long term goal. There's hardly any world building as of yet and it feels like a waste. There's this big, wide world with many different gods and cultures, different peoples and races. Instead of exploring that though we get a lot of whining about someone who isn't there and focus on one set of magic, which I assume is going to lead into logistics. The plot would probably be more fun to read if it was presented in a different manner. How that should go, I'm not entirely sure but it's disappointing to see the way things are currently panning out. The way the sapients came about is also lazy.
    Grammar: It's readable and not particularly eye catching. That said, there are at least a couple of errors every chapter and could use a tune up. Or an editor.
    Character: This is the stories biggest flaw in my opinion. The main character complains about his wife who isn't there constantly and focuses way too much on the long term goal. I get it, not having your wife there sucks, especially with the circumstances. That said, it doesn't need to be hammered in every chapter or multiple times in a chapter. Besides that, there's no real fleshing out of the characters. The (arguably) second most important character at the moment doesn't really have a personality. Yes, she has hobbies and things she does, but we don't really know what she is actually like as a human-like being. We don't know her motivations and feelings, we don't know how she got to where she is or anything along those lines. She mig
