True Insanity
Community Rating
Description
Selfish. A tyrant. A madman. They called him many things but he ignored them. The man simply did not care what people thought of him. He did not care what they thought of the changes he was causing. He had one goal. And for that he was ready to ignore all morals. He would do anything for the betterment of humanity. He could only laugh when people who had once called him a genius and tried to make him use that genius for the sake of the world were now calling him insane for doing so. But when one tires of life, tires of fighting, ties of goals. The only thing left for him is to leave behind all that he has achieved thus far and move on. And so he did. But what lies after death? Was it heaven? Hell? Nothing? Or maybe... maybe it was just another life. If it was the fourth one... he hoped that this one would go easier on him.

- SlayzRedRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I've been reading since around chapter five was released, and I felt that it's probably time for a review.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS
My opinion as of chapter 28:
This is a beautiful story that truly engages the reader into the atmosphere that the author is trying to portray. You have a "Tragic" Hero at the beginning who is trying to make the World a better place with some unorthodox, some may even say evil, methods. However, the story stresses that these actions are 'required' because the MC is kind of rushed to change a whole world. Then the MC is tossed into a world full of evil. Throughout the story the MC is portrayed as someone who just really wants to help, and his altruism leads to some neat and entertaining encounters that are really quite enjoyable. The constant encounter of "minor antagonists" keeps you updated with how powerful the MC is and how he is feeling or how his attitude has changed over time. This all leads up to chapter 21, where the MC goes through a kind of enlightenment. The author beautifully describes the change and constantly makes me want to beg for more chapters. Although the grammar is not completely eloquent, the main purpose of language is to get the point across, which there is definitely no problem of that with this story (unlike some I have read). I HIGHLY recommend you at least try this amazing story. The concepts, setting, and story itself just seem to match my reading preferences! CHECK THIS STORY OUT! - BlackMessiasRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It#s funny and nice to read. I like OP caracters so I like the story...
- EnochRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0As any writer can attest, improvements can always be made, whether it is stylistically or simple grammar. I, personally, think that the only irreparable part of any story is its capacity, and that is controlled entirely by the author's imagination.

Style? Sure it can be improved, but it's a heck of a lot better than the vast majority on RRL. Grammar? Same as before.
>>
A consequence to having such an interesting and fleshed out main character is that many other character's development suffer. I can see this story going both ways, so be careful not to make everyone flat and two dimensional. Good job not falling into that pitfall so far.
>>
Finally, and best of all, is the story. This really is a contender for the best fiction that I have ever read. The tale told is interesting and addicting, the chapter length is extremely agreeable, and update speed is good as well.
Keep it up. I'm very excited to see where this goes. - LoneWanderer23Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story, has the potential to become my favourite one
I am a huge fan of the "gap" between what is expected of,perceived as and what is reality
Old tyrant who hates humanity ushers an age of peace, can it get better? :D
Anyways looking forward to reading some good crack in the future :D - Wise old penguinRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A story where the MC is a death god, check.
He even picks up where he left off when he dies, check.
He's one determined motherf**ker, check.
Iloveit.png - lbutl25Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5Honestly I found how this story is written and portrayed to be quite unique to whats out there. It is a bit raw and unpolished in places, some things could be fleshed out a bit more but that is really my only complaint.
To the author if your read this, I think what your most lacking at the moment is experience and you will get that the more you write. Don't get discouraged by people who hate your writing, your not writing for them, your writing for yourself. Remember that reviews are the impressions of your story for that person, whether good or bad. Everything changes person to person for we are all individuals who see the world in our own unique way.
Keep writing mate, you have great potential. - OutBlackRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0This may not be the top fiction on RR but I still enjoy reading it. Too much hate is being poured on this story. I mean guys, come on, don't like it ? Don't read it !
- RedSlim3Royal Road★★★ 3.0Disclaimer: This is my Personal opinion and critics heavily due to the conventional way the story progressed in chapters 4~19. Don't take it too seriously since this is my first review. But because it is my first review, I'm just going to put everything I managed to get from the whole 3 and a half hours of reading out here. I really do see the potential in the story and wish for you to keep writing.
Edit: Wow, my tone changed quite a bit when reviewing. Just bare with it I guess
Review as of Chapter 28.
--Style--
Firstly, beautiful start with a story-like 3rd person narration in the Prologue, I absolutely loved it. If that style continued the whole way through I would have given this a 5/5 no-questions-asked. But you decided to stick with 1st person which really degraded the reading experience. If the language is not extremely precise, the story just gets, well, boring. It becomes a flow of events instead of putting weight on every scene; The MC did this and than that. I could skim reading chapters around chapters 10~17 in two minutes each and not lose much context. But I don't believe this is what reading is all about. All it become is a record of the MC's thoughts. From what I've seen from other authors, by using only the 1st person, the story loses so much potential because the lore/setting just becomes undeveloped. There even might start being fillers like cooking(Death March I'm looking at you!), random thoughts, things not important to the plot just there to make the story more appealing. It's because your limiting yourself inside the MC's head.
This is also where you lose chance to further shape your characters. FFs with a OP MC in a less powerful world relies heavily on the interaction between characters. I have to agree with some other review saying the FF just feel too 2 dimensional. That's because the style is dictating what we understand of them. I know your trying create side characters(Lilly and Cel) that gradually opens up to the MC, but the style is - DarthSkrillRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Overall score: 4 stars: This story is good for many reasons. One of the biggest for me was how it started in a very cliche manner, then broke them.
Style score: 3.5 stars: There are a few font size changes in the beginning that I rather dislike. The red text was nice. Generally presented well.
Story score: 4.5 stars: see Overall score
Grammar score: 3 stars: Errors, but still readable.
Character score: 4 stars: Classic anti-hero.
Notes: This story is very philosophical. It will make you think about deep subjects. This is why it is so good, in my opinion. There are some aspects different from the traditional model, such as the way laughter and thoughts are presented. (or maybe they are and I just don't like them) One cliche the author seems to have fallen into is harem/luck with girls, which is a small downside. I can only hope it doesn't progress into a full on harem anytime soon. The magic system is not very unique, but that isn't necessarily a problem.
For the author: Some things I'd like to comment on regarding word and punctuation use:
from chapter 13: "Still it served to separate the humans and beastkin and it was doing its job… albeit not very effectively seeing as there are quite a few human-beastkin wars in the history books." "doing its job, albeit not very effectively" flows better, as commas represent pauses short enough to not break the sentence apart. I get that you want a dramatic pause, but you sacrificed too much for that end (in my opinion).
also from chapter 13: "Cel was strong. Like… unexpectedly strong." Removing the "Like..." altogether gives the sentence a short, staccato feel. "Unexpectedly" should be changed to something such as "astoundingly" or "surprisingly" to better represent the connotation you're looking for (again this is my opinion).
also chapter 13: "But unlike the goblins I fought before these ones weren’t green but brown and they also had a few hobgoblins amongst them which are pretty much a larger, stronger and ,albe - RudeusRoyal Road★★ 2.0Errrr ok, so...
Style: It's decent, I can't say it's the best, but it works and pretty effective and easy to read.
Story: Ugh, ok, so we can a whimsical, unrelatable character who get's chosen by a goddess to be the champion of the dragons, ironically, so he can kill them. Kill them ALL, because all dragons are bad, he's not supposed to- I don't know, maybe make a system to govern them, just fuck it, genocide is the answer, (check Revelations in the bible if you want moral support). From the second he is born, he gets followed by the famous Xianxia Mc's misfortune of fate, literally he meets a girl being chased by the whole kingdom, meets a dude, said dude offers his daughter, lord rapist tries to take her, dude dies, mc is like revenge, kills guards, saves girl, girl has dead dad, she sad and crying, doesn't give a fuck about erecting a tombstone or following through any religious ceremonies, doesn't even care that lord rapist indirectly got her dad killed, Mc doesn't give 2 shits about lord rapist and decides to just murder him(he has no idea of the implications that would result from the lord of a city being murdered), kills him, Vampire girl joins harem all that's left is that 15 yr old from the start and he has complete harem, then he decides, well since I killed a lord, might as well kill shit king as well, not like there are any warring countries who'd swoop in and take advantage of the internal turmoil LOL, he shows up and before killing shit king, interrogates him, but obviously doesn't give a fuck about finding 15yr old girl yet because he stops after 3 questions and since shit king is shit, he obviously has to admit that he's a depraved rapist that likes rapist lord right in front of dude who obviously DOES NOT like and probably killed rapist lord before coming to kill shit king. How could a king be so stupid? But, where was I? Oh yeah, build your world, you cannot just kill a king and a lord and not possibly incite a civil war, but the sad thing is that
