Description

Nakrul is a land of magic. Those who are lucky enough to be born with an elemental body can become a mage of their respective element(s). Aside from mages and creatures of magic who reign supreme in Nakrul, there are some even more revered--they are the Saints. Rather than elements such as fire and water, Saints are capable of controlling one of 4 laws--Life, Death, Space, Time.

Our story follows an ordinary farm boy named Cyil, who falls into a deep coma, only to awaken and find out he had become a Saint! What will happen from here on out? Join us on this journey, where we try to stray from the convetional story arcs and have fun with our writing!

Good tale here.
The style is good, nothing out box here but consistent and easy to follow.
The world building is interesting, complex with extensive possibilities. We have mage and martial fighters rankings like most of the wuxia fictions, fantasy races, MC's family with some unknown background. However, so far (book 2) we do not have some grand plotline and the currenty one resumes to gather strenght.

The curret main plot is to take back the possessed MC's body of the so called death god that have 3 saint attributes wich is what makes the MC special, but drags 2 books or more about this is annoying. All we have is some character growth of the MC's soul because he is inside other body living someones life and all his awesomeness is somewhere else.
What's worst is even if the MC got back his body he will be living with past actions of other person due the time skip. That feels the MC's never make his own choices and the only time he did in a rage momentum he fucked everything just to kill a clone.
In my perpective the current plotline is like five steps backwards to have one foward.
No native english speaker here so no comments about grammar.
The MC is the innocence personification and the MC's "grandfather" adopts the philosophy of altruism and "to not kill" which is kind stupid in a world that have rankings based in strenght and the same goes for social class, wealth... I mean life-threathing situations are common here and sometimes the killing must be done at the same time is possible to preserve the kindness atribute.
Therefore I hope to see some real character growth here, to MC find his own path and not always the childish peace and love stuff.
Good story with much potential unexplored due the deviant plot.

U really got me hooked there at the start, and then everything became uninteresting for me at the end of book1 and book2 just couldnt keep my interest. I hope u keep writing tho i like the idea, and maybe i'll come back when ur story is finished.
