Description

A stuck-up with a godly poker face

A jolly fool with nothing to lose.

Despite the demons, dragons, gods, ghosts, and everything in between, what could possibly go wrong?

The Swordmaster cared for nothing much other than his survival. With his blade, poker face, and pet (“It’s not a dog goddammit, it’s a mythic beast!”) Kael was going to do just that.

…Until a demonic invasion occurs in his Clan. And his colleague dies. And he finds a demonic…thing? And he garners the resentment of a boy. And-

One thing led to another, and now he can walk on water (with some help, of course)

Kael sighed, he really needed a break.

What to expect?

- Lots of magic and original world building, but not so confusing that your head spins haha

- No harem, but there are quite a lot of couples and the main couple might be a bit of a surprise

- The story’s gonna have three major arcs, and the entire premise will change halfway due to…unforeseen circumstances. So steel your balls before reading!

Dear author, you asked for criticism and feedback so here is my honest review…
Story: The story seems promising so far. The plot is not fully fleshed out yet but it’s easy to tell that there are lots of mythical elements. I like the world building a lot and some parts are realistic despite it being a fantasy. The Clan members seem like the have brotherly (and sisterly) relationships. Reminds me of a sect haha.
Characters: Probably the strongest part of the story if you continue in this direction. Everyone makes a deep impression and is unique (my favourite is the Spellmaster, he’s cool and has a great mysterious vibe as well). The snake is just too sad xD. It’s facing too much abuse. The mc is very humane, and I like how unhinged his internal monologue is. Lvl 999 poker face for sure! The Clan members are memorable too. I’m excited for the future cast (and the mystery behind the lady who was introduced at the town gates. Is she the fl? I don’t see a harem tag so…)
Language: This is the only part I can’t sing praises for, but I’m not gonna deduct from the reviews too much since this is novice work and you can edit it anytime. The sentence structure is a bit confusing at times, so pls go fix that. Too many commas. But other than that, I don’t really have much issues and the errors are minor- they don’t make the work ‘unreadable’ but just fix the errors to make the work more polished.
I like supporting new authors so let me leave u with some advice. Stay consistent. Don’t betray your readers by making the beginning and later work two worlds apart. If you’re burnt out, go on hiatus rather than produce sloppy work. But most of all, never stop writing. I hope all goes well, author. I shall be following your work!
