Description

No schedule. The first 20 or so chapters have a little cringe-inducing English. The story is slow and summoning spells are actually scarcely shown at the beginning.

Old synopsis:

Have you ever heard about him?Of he who was born in the city of mages?He, who once burned a kingdom to the ground?Whose spells did he wave together humbled the gods?Who made men's wildest nightmares pale before those he called from the beyond?The Hypocrite. The Thief. The Mad. The Murderer. The Calamity.History talks about those and more men, and their many deeds.What it doesn't tell is that all of them were only one man.He was known by many names.The Summoner.So, tell me, haven't you heard of him before?It doesn't matter, so listen, as I will tell his story one last time.

    There wasn't any review yet so here we go.
    There is action, and life and death situations, though. The story follows the protagonist, Naran, through his training in both 'regular' magic and summoning magic. He may be a child, but he's smart, skilled and ressourceful enough to survive harsh trials.
    There are slice of life vibes, the author created an ecosystem and a fauna of his own. The magic system seems solid. The world is rather mysterious for now, world building is most often done in a way that we discover the world alongside the protagonist.
    The grammar has some issues, since the author isn't a native speaker. A few recurring mistakes, confusing sentences now and then, but nothing too hindering, and it gets better progressively (except for the interludes where I had to read some parts twice, I suppose they were written much earlier)
    It reads smoothly nonetheless, the pacing is fine (albeit slow), the protagonist has depth and is realistic. I'm not too fond of 1st person pov because it sometimes feels like endless monologs, but I like the occasional quirkiness and humour in the narration. The plot has barely started I think, but the blurt is a promise of epicness.
    Keep up the good work !
