For 60 years, Aldryn, the Oracle of Light has been searching for the people who murdered his family.

- NagisaRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Ok this is gonna be a bit long .
From what ive read it's mostly narration. The problem of "telling and not showing", it makes it difficult for me to get attached or find something that i like about the characters. If I remember correctly it takes till ch 2 or 3 to get the first line of dialogue and i dont think we've gotten to see anyone "think" something. Like whoa this guy looks weird or oh no did i say something weird? What do i say now? The closest thing weve got is when we get told that "he thought this" or "he explained this while thinking that". It makes it hard to get into the characters heads, making it take longer to get attached to them. I myself only read as far as i did cuz the mc is a fox boy and those are rare.
Anyway the story itself seems good but if the author could take a chance to explore his characters thoughts or even if there is no introspection if they could show small actions or details that make us see who the characters are it would make much easier for us to build up what their past, motivation, likes and dislikes are rather than telling us. If its "he hates that person because of this reason" we would be like "oh ok then" and not really feel it. But if it's something like :
" his face went slack as soon as he heard the name . The previous joyful atmosphere gone. 'Is something wrong?' I ask 'no, it's nothing' Even though he had replied with a calm voice I could see him clenching his trembling fists, 'hey-' before I could say anymore he has stood and walked away. Leaving me to wonder what had happened"
Like this even if we dont see their thoughts we can see how a character fisically reacts and guess that said character might be angry or even scared.
phew😅 This is the longest review ive ever written. But anyway what im trying to say is that I really wanna see whats inside their heads cuz I really want to know more about the mc since his setting is interesting and i wanna know what he things of the deuteragonist. - alcelaphinaeRoyal Road★★★ 3.0There isn't stupid mistakes and cliches that other isekai/litrpg fictions' have. Characters interactions are interesting, and their attitutes are differ so i can compliment on characters and world's build.
The reason i dropping this one and giving 3 stars is there is no conflict, tension, goal. MCs are not distingusable, multiple lead factor is poorly executed.
Consequently, it is boring. I continued so far because of its' strong points. I thought that conflict will rise but not so far. thats my sincere opinion.
