Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.

[The Birth of a Hero].

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

I became a part of that novel as the tr*sh of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this s*upid tr*sh who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“…This is going to be a headache.”

I feel like something serious has happened to me.

But it was worth trying to make this my new life.

This novel is really great and awesome! I mean, how the author thinks of the plot twist puts my brain at edge and I can't literally help but look forward on what's next. It's amazing in way that:

(1) MC personality is not a typical OP character that only knows how to use brute strength and forget to use his brain. The strategies, tactics and action of MC is worthy of reading. He also values his people, like you will just realize yourself 'that is what we called true f*cking friendship'

(2) Supporting characters are not just there to build the 'greatness' of the MC. They exist because they have a part in the plot of the story and not just an extra that will be soon be forgotten. And... more>> you will surely love them - let me give you names:
Spoiler

Raon - the little black dragon lord ; On and Hong - the sibling cats and the future heir apparent of the Molan househould

[collapse]

(3) World building.
Spoiler

It's not only about Roan Kingdom and their neighbouring kingdoms, there is also the existence of the demon kingdom and an entire different world (Earth 1, 2, 3), dimension and illusionary world

[collapse]

4. The plot deepens as the novel progress. I personally love
Spoiler

the demon kingdom arc which Cale acted as the son of the vampire lord and the puzzle kingdom arc in which they f*cked up White Star real good

[collapse]

I highly recommend this. Let's be Cloppeh Sekka and have faith with Cale Henituse. Hahaha! You'll soon find it out so make sure to try and read this novel. <<less

Amazing story & characters! I love how the author took a sort of 'basic' and popular idea with reincarnation and just made it completely original and unique. I'm currently re-reading the novel as well, I wish there were more chapters out because even though there are more than 670+ chapters out, you never get bored of this novel (also thank you to the fast translators!). I can't wait to see what happens next!

It is a bit saddening that it gets some poor ratings, indeed comments on how it gets too repetitive or that it lacks the complexity flavor are true at times. But it is worth giving the chance, maybe around 200 chapters so you don't get to miss the amazing world building, character developments and foreshadowings (it is a well thought out novel, really!). But sure, to each his own.

It has one of the best protagonist for me. It's what keeps me reading (even skipped some parts where Cale is... more>> out but still got the story all in all since I have re-read more than 4 times). It has a One Piece vibes in terms of MC charisma and foreshadowings (i.e. how an idea introduced on chapter 50 will only make sense around chapter 300), only that Cale is clever and a good liar.

Spoiler

A good and sad example: Cale's exaggeration on the pain caused by papercuts. Will only make sense around chapter 600.

[collapse]

I love it that unlike other stories where MC becomes OP and untouchable, Cale Henituse is weak and though he gets to gain abilities as the story progresses, the cost is always high because he is weak and lazy to train (though he has some acceptable reasons). But he is just so cool about it which makes it adorable. He is like a fated sacrificial lamb that must be protected at all cost. And man, if only he is not a slacker he could have been a good general or king, the way he encourages and give speeches are simply amazing.

Spoiler

Cale gives good speeches, prior to battles or when he is proving a point or when defending his people. One good example is when he make use of his annoying title of Young Master Silver Shield to shut the cowardly Northeastern nobles saying the shield will always win, and then he proved it afterwards by defending their territory with no outside help. He would almost always start his speeches by mentioning things unrelated to the context but when he comes to the point, it is like a crispy hard slap to the face of the people he is against. Like when he begun talking about how he requested their military uniforms to be black. Lastly, an amazing example is the one from Earth 2 Arc when he showed his memory prowess by mentioning the number of deaths under each individual representing former central shelters. Just. Goosebumps.

[collapse]

And it is not just Cale, another thing that is good about this novel is its generosity of spotlighting side characters, specially Cale's subordinates. They have backgrounds (sob stories), developments and even individual quirkiness. They'll just grow in you. Even minor characters leave a bit lasting impact for me.

Spoiler

Like Eric Wheelsman, I found him attractive when during the time Cale rose to fame after going to the empire, he was the only one out of the nobles who sought Cale out with letters coz he sincerely cares. Though our bad and Tsun2x Cale just ignored him. And from the recent God Test Arc/Earth 2 Arc, there was Park Jin Tae and Joo Ho Shik, they are weird but I was truly moved by the stories behind them, however short.

[collapse]

It is nice that there is no romance subplot, for those who are against it, honestly it is not needed. Having it value camaraderie, brotherhood and filial piety is fluff enough for the heart's satisfaction. And with Cale's real background, his current relationships are more than he could have ever asked for. Romance (out of thin air) would probably destroy the story at this point. Cale is... everyone's Cale.

There's a lot more to say about the novel but to cut it short, if you want an easy read with a cool MC, world-building, foreshadowings and you hate romantic subplots specially romantic harems then this one is definitely for you! Certified RECOMMENDED by the slacker readers of the world. Definitely NOT tr*sh. <<less

This is a wonderful read. I kept rereading this novel over and over. The MC is always misunderstood in hilarious ways. However, there also times where the feels just hit me like a truck. It starts off a little slow, but after awhile, I got really attached to this story and all the characters in it (except for the enemy). There are times I would squeal, cry or laugh my heart out.

The MC cares for others but he is sometimes merciless when it comes to the enemies. He isn't really... more>> a goody-two-shoes MC who can't seem to tell that this is war and there are times to save and times it is necessary to dirty your hands but is also not an a*hole. He knows how to draw the line between what is necessary and what isn't. He isn't really those that sacrifice others and knows how to make use of what personnel and things he has.

Romance really isn't necessary in this story, in fact, romance might even break this story. There are times romance makes a story blossom, however, this isn't one of those stories. There is a tag stating that this isn't a romance, so if you're searching for romance, instead of complaining about the lack of romance, it's better to not read it. There a little flaws in the story and some annoying things. But that's what I find amusing about this novel. Isn't it fine to just enjoy a story? Naturally this is only my opinion and it might be flawed.

edit: Things got even more interestingg!! LET'S GOOOO!!!! <<less

Lets start off with saying how much I love this web novel. Its not fast-paced nor slow-paced. The story goes at a steady speed that always has something happening but it never seems rushed. Its not the most actionpacked story out there but something important always seems to be happening.

Its one of those reads where the side characters actually get enough dialogue and have enough presence where you always feel they are out in the world doing something that has purpose.

This web novel gives off contradicting feelings in a good... more>> way. Its lighthearted yet multiple characters pasts are tragic. Theres despair but also hope. Its heartwarming but at times sad. And the MC is the most contradicting of all. He wants to live the life of a slacker but he works harder than anyone else. He acts like he doesn't care at times but cares more than anyone. He risks his life through most off the story but acts like its no big deal.

As for people complaining that he knows everything thats going to happen so far, im guessing you haven't read much of this web novel. At a point pretty early on, Cale makes it past the fifth and final volume of the story hes entered the world of and even some of the information he knew changed because he was going around changing the story. He after that has to go about finding information himself and yet he still almost always ends up being a step ahead of his enemies. And when hes not, he always finds a way to turn the situation to his favor.

This is one of the few web novels ive found where the MC is leaps and bounds smarter than the villains. He has setbacks, but throughout the whole web novel Cale never 100% loses. He alway pays back his enemies. His allies are strong, but his charisma, his protectiveness of his allies, and the lengths he goes through to finally have a peacelul life are more impressive to me.

I may be biased because I like 90% of the characters but this is one of the most enjoyable reads ive had in a long time. Theres a levity and confidence to Cales dialogue that makes you think things will never go wrong as long as he is there to orchestrate the battle plans. So in turn, that takes off the stress alot of books purposefully give you and turns the read more relaxing and happier than most other reads.

All in all if you just want action then this book isn't for you, but if you want a quality fantasy with a plethora of good characters, nonstop getting in the villains way while tricking them, overpowered abilitys and magic that both allies and enemies have, entertaining banter, and a satisfying story then this is for you. <<less

The story is truly magnificent, it's not like the usual 2D Korean isekai Novel, no. This story is unique in it's own way and what's wonderful is that the author capability of not revealing everything in one go, every chapter or arc have meanings and not just a mindless story.

The best way to put is that the novel built up is similar to a puzzle or a chess, at the end of it all once you put everything together you will see the whole answer, the way the author put... more>> the plot is impeccable because as the reader we are capable to have theorized what will happen and yet somehow it will still blow your minds.

As for the character, this novel characters are top tier. The MC and the side characters have an actual MEANING, which mean they are not some 2D pawns that are only purpose is to be the stepping stool for the MC, nope. It's the opposite.

The author manage to make the side character we all knew have a chance to shine and show us that they are also important to the whole story, and the world is not going around the MC, it feels so put well, that's why I said that the story is similar to a chess piece or a puzzle.

And the best of it all, the story manages to have NO romance, every counter are simply put as a sibling or family relationship, the MC focus more about his retirement and his children who he adopt than woman or any lust.

The MC relationship with the others are also wholesome, he may act like that but what he say and action are contradict with each other to the point it's funny. The MC have a great mindset and it is not something he said alone, NOPE. He have an actual mindset that are built from his friends words, he actually put time to actually think the best way to handle each type of matter with rational mindset (even though it's questionable sometimes)

It is so nice to read this story and I strongly disagree with jasss when he said that the book is fast phased, it seems that you didn't actually read the book to actually comprehend what it is about. But that's jassss opinion.

Really recommend you all to check the story because it is totally worth the reading, I personally enjoy reading this book. <<less

《EDT》

there's some pros and cons, I agree with both side that said this was (quiet) good and bad

... more>> + the plot and story background, in the early chapter were quiet nonsense but some was revealed with reasonable story building (e.g., a tortured dragon since birth by a less-than duke-title heir)

- the character building was a bit lacking compared to it (e.g., MC didn't undergo rebirth but isekai-ed and possessed an adult body. While it's ok, I don't get it why og family didn't feel weird about the 'new Cale', especially his butler and the chef... they're a very observant character. It's either a plot-hole or KRS had same 'characteristic' such as habit, walking, unconscious reaction toward something, etc. They just admitted it 'new Cale' changed his attitude

- at the beginning, lot of useless words were used as word-fillers (e.g., "The two of them, no, all three of them..." ; " (name) didn't know but (another name) 's (....) is (....) because (name) 's gaze is 1. Already turned back to the another one, or 2. Staring at the plate, and so on.")

+ starting from whale arc, it's gotten better

- but starting from c400ish, it's chewing-gum to milk legal readers. (This was on early c400ish, when the protag-mage had a 'duel' of being the 'strongest' than other as mage, iirc it took 2-3 or 4 chapters to finish that boring event. Yes, it could be skip, just read the beginning and the last description and you won't skip any story. In short it's like seeing two students compare their exams score and whose the highest)

- 'wrong' imagination/words-selected (e.g., ".... the kittens wagged their tails" or something because the kitten supposed to be very interested in something. They're not dog. ; apparently the baby dragon had soft paw...)

- in the early chapters, "Hoo ha hoo ha ah tsk" were like salt, too many put into one plate and the taste was not good.

- I don't get 'Cale' body anatomy. He was alcoholic and tr*sh but apparently he's not like that beer-bellied typical bxstrxd *shrug, afaik he even ended up not being a lean ripped man but more like an idol-body (?) based on the desc. when it's written he loss more muscle compared to 1st day as 'Cale'

- the biggest flaw/nonsense was almost no one died if they're needed to be saved to [give reaction]

Spoiler

'They are crying with joy that they are alive! Chaos, destruction, happiness!'

'They all seem to have gotten scared after seeing the black mages. They seem happy that they were able to be saved.'

[collapse]
— it's just a bunch of extra, taken as hostages, and yeah bother not killing them... they're just for 'bxllshxt talks'. Those were war, but it's completely one-sided while the power was 50:50 when the antagonist White Star entered the chat. What I meant was the enemy had lot of causalties, but the allies only exhausted and worn out, but almost never in mortal danger... that's including the so-called 'citizen' I just can't imagine how the layout of the war to be like that :/ <<less

While I can understand some of the negative reviews of the series, a lot of it is focused on "deus ex etc", when the MC is deliberately "weak" (By the series' absurd powerlevel scale). This is one of the few novels that I actually look forward to despite a very busy 16 credit hour schedule (The rest I'm just trudging along because I'm 3k chapters in and still waiting for the finale. I'm looking at you, Martial God Asura).

I enjoy this novel immensely, despite it being extremely off the beaten... more>> path when it comes to chinese/korean novels. If Goku is over 9000, the MC is sitting at a solid 3.5k. If you don't take this novel seriously (and by that I mean, living vicariously through the protagonist) you'll likely love tr*sh of the Counts. The side characters are memorable, the inter-character exchanges are hilarious, and at just over 100 chapters we're finally delving into the MC not being able to predict the future. This may be a spoiler, but it's alluded to fairly early so I don't think it matters to much: The novel has caught up to the "novels" and he's basically not omniscient anymore. I'd list pros and cons but I honestly can't think of any cons to the story besides the fact that the MC is incredibly weak compared to his peers.

This novel is very much an effort of love rather than capitalizing on demand with dog sh*t supply like MGA or anything by the author "Mad Snail" (TDG, SMGT, etc). If you can get past the fact that the MC isn't the most overpowered mofo out there/underdog that quickly circumvents the opposition type of character, you'll absolutely love this novel. The world building is fantastic, the side characters memorable, and despite tropes I'm familiar with, they're not too common in the novel world, which should come off as refreshing for the more casual reader of chinese/korean novels.

You're really not doing yourself a disservice by at least testing the waters a bit and reading a few chapters. I normally love me some power fantasy, but I stuck with tr*sh of the Count despite my inherent preference and I don't regret it. I'd also like to point out that whatever low-score reviews may depict (s*upid c*ck sucking reviewers putting spoilers without warnings), the whole "Deus Ex (insert person/event/etc here) " plays very little role in comparison to the MC's own machinations. <<less

I really like this story. It have dept and I like it. And all the side character always have their role on the main event.

If the side character not appear there it mean they appear on the main event in other place and will be told when they meet the MC again.

There is many foreshadowing and the MC only read the story (he transmigrate to) to volume 5. That mean after volume 5, there is a big surprise awaiting us. Even though the MC know some event there is still... more>> a minor surprise though.

Cale-nim (MC) is an unreliable narrator. And some reader probably not like this because they can not decipher him.

Please know that when he said he don't want trouble it means he did not hope to do his best as he don't like to set his hope high. But he will still do his best and if he just get something good, he can be happier than setting his hope high since the beginning.

Spoiler

--reference on chapter 23--

“Cale-nim, are you not going to make a wish?”

‘Is that what he wants to know?’

Cale just casually answered.

“I don’t do things like making wishes.”

“Why not?”

“It makes you have higher expectations.”

Choi Han, Hans, and even the kittens all turned to look at Cale. Cale looked at the rock towers like Choi Han had done, and slowly continued to speak.

“It’s so much easier to live without high expectations.”

It feels great if you scratch a lottery ticket hoping for $1 and end up winning $5, but if you scratch it hoping to win the grand prize and only end up with $5, you are bound to get annoyed.

[collapse]

Let me conclude MC personality, he is someone who want to be hero but lazy to hope for it so he told himself to wish for a peaceful life instead.

If you don't like good nature MC and want anti hero or lazy (acting) MC instead, don't read this novel. <<less

Whew, this is that Good-Good I'm always lurking for.

Grammar: 4/5

Writing: 4.2/5

... more>> Story: 3.9/5

Grammar is well done, almost perfect, though a few mistakes and word flow stumbles occur it is more than readable. The writing is well done, the story is logical to a certain extent with motivations for the actions that the characters take with consequences playing out in amusing ways. The story is a mashup of a few common troupes with a nice little twist thrown in.

Overall, a really nice read. I just pray that the quality in the translation, the author's writing style, and the story don't drop. <<less

This is my fourth time re reading this novel. Cale is quite literally my favourite protagonist of all time. I’ve seen a few commenters that dislike the story because they think it’s too much of a sprite novel, but I think that’s one of the best parts. This story is very cathartic for people like me who have suffered and lost due to injustice. There’s something so innately comforting and satisfying seeing someone care so much about the world being at peace and actually beat the unjust people and help... more>> others. Even if I can’t be helped, it’s so cathartic seeing it for someone else. Everytime Cale beats an enemy with all the people he’s gathered, it’s like it soothes something deep in me. I will always be a devoted fan of this novel <<less

I was postponing reading this novel for a while thinking that it wouldn’t be translated properly or that it would be disappointing (I was lazy), but I was wrong and this is now one of my few reasons for life. This is by far the best novel I have ever read and if I could I would I would support the original author but I can’t since I have no money and I don’t know how to do it. It might start slow and look boring and cliche but please... more>> stick with it, it gets really interesting and wholesome after some time. I came from the manhwa so I wouldn’t know how slow it is, but the novel would have more details. Season 1 of the manhwa ends around chapter 67-68 in the novel. It took me 2 or so weeks to read the whole novel and those were the 2 best weeks of my life. I want to erase my memory of reading this novel so I can read it and fall in love with it again.

Spoiler

The story so far summarised from Cale pov:

- Oh no, I’m in another world, guess I’ll live my dream slacker life.

- Let’s adopt 3 small non human children.

- Oh no, in order to get a slacker life I need to stop the destruction of this world.

- I’m going to steal the main characters job.

- Let’s make an army of the most powerful characters.

- Okay, world saved, but what’s this? I need to save other wolds too because I involved myself too much and if I don’t this world will die? Okay then.

- I will save these worlds and become their hero and I don’t care because I won’t return there.

- I think I made a cult.

Meant to click 5 stars!!

Legit made an account just to review this light novel. 5 stars. Trust me when I say, The wait. Is. Worth it.

There's a quote by C.S. Lewis (author of Narnia) that goes "Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different." It perfectly describes TCF.

This novel is all about story building. It makes more and more sense the more chapters you read. It has no romance, which I think is perfect—it's not the type of story that needs... more>> it, and the MC isn't the type to fall in love. Instead it focuses on friendships and connections, which feels much more rewarding. It plays heavily into the "misunderstandings" trope, and I LOVE IT. Everyone praises Cale for his actions and how everything seemingly plays right into his hands, when it's really just cale remarking at his crazy luck and dishonorable intentions lol. Cale is a shameless, money-hungry, slightly cowardly and dishonest tr*shy man-turned-hero to everyone he runs into lol. But he has a heart of gold (whether he admits it or not) and an iron will to make it so that he can be a slacker for the rest of his life.

(also has a lot of self-sacrifice, whump and TLC for my folks who have those preferences ;))

Now to say what I really like about this novel >\<!

1-The writing. It's amazing quality, practically written as if it were in english the whole time. Translators did a wonderful job! It is full of complex themes and plots all placed together. It sort of seems confusing at first, but all the writing is easy to digest and understand. It's hilarious, and the author is fantastic at making relevant references to poke fun at situations in the story. It is beautiful at describing things, and the translators are always willing to expand on and explain further a few concepts, allowing you to fully grasp the meaning of the story.

2- Plot. The story and world building is on par with that of Lord of the rings or harry potter. It's slow paced, giving you time to be introduced and connect with the characters and world before giving you the main enemy and storyline. The author has designed such a unique, complex world that has layer after layer to it! It seems like a simple transmigration story, until the forth wall breaks, like 50 times over in the story. It's also just is full of political intrigue, schemes, mu*der of obscure secondary characters, underhanded tactics, and lots of actions and character placements that don't make sense until, like, 40 chapters later. I found myself reading it and going "Ooohhh, that's why that happened earlier!" Along with the absolute brilliance and strategy of the storyline, it also tugs at your heartstrings. It has bittersweet and sad moments. I've felt myself tear up in certain situations. You really feel like you're experiencing the world alongside Cale.

3- CHARACTERS :D! I LOVE all the characters in this novel!!! You will have to be patient to meet the really great characters later on in the series, but lemme just say, we all love Eruhaben ;) Each character has a unique personality, and are very fleshed out across the series. Even Cale's powers have very... distinct personalities. It's very impressive when you see the sheer amount of people that get introduced throughout. Some are very important in the beginning, some are later on, but you get fair and equal interactions with each one, depending on if they're side or supporting characters. I love how all the relationships are interconnected, from Cale's transmigrated life, to his former. We get amazing backstories and deeper dives into them. The main crew becomes a tight-knit family, gone through thick and thin for each other.

Nothing is done on accident, and it's excellent. Highly, HIGHLY recommend if you genuinely want a great read, lovable characters, a proper overarching plot, and appreciate war/fighting scenes, schemes, and build up. <<less

One of those novels that started as a chill read and developing into something epic with fights, plots and overall set up of events, for me I like the fact that MC is acting against what he says he is, being a slacker. I started reading the manhwa and got too impatient and hopped into the novel XD. It has a good sprinkle of comedy and cuteness so if you're into that might as well read and see if you'll enjoy it as well.

Forgive me! I don't know how to add a star! I want to give five stars! But somehow there is only one star!! I'm so sad T~T!! I'm so badddd!!!!

Damn it! I really like this story! I swear! This is crazy!

This is the best Novel in my whole life reading thousands of Novels!

... more>> This novel is so unusual that it feels realistic!! I really like how the writer put the MC like that!

I also really like the developments in every chapter that I read so I will continue to be curious to the point that I don't even realize how immersed I am in the story.

I really admire how the writer made this story full of emotion! Sad, happy, whatever it is. This story is packed very, very well! Especially during sad scenes, it gets to readers like me to the point where my eyes swell from it.

I also like how this story is very detailed until I understand where the story is going.

I really like MC Cale, he is my version of Ideal MC, because well even though full of misunderstandings (btw I really like that actually) He is also very smart, cunning, and not like other naive novel MCs.

The friendship here is also very deep and how the writer conveys implicit information that will be useful in the next chapter is extraordinary!

I've read all the chapters! But I always feel less! That's why I keep re-reading this novel!! Thanks to the author who has made this extraordinary novel!!

I really like it because along the way this novel has no romance!t That makes this novel even more amazing!!

And the only novel I have read to the end and keep repeating it!

Damn it?! I am so addicted to this story!! <<less

I'm 321 chapters in and it just feels long, superficial, minimal character development. There are certainly enough interesting world aspects to the story, how magic and ancient powers,
Spoiler

dark matter, dark elves, necromancers

[collapse]
, history etc interweave. However characters feel very one dimensional, as if they exist to admire the MC and idolise him, taking every act of his into their hearts. I'm hopeful that the world aspects will nicely round themselves out. Would describe this novel as a light long read, where you don't have to think, get to witness a lazy, lucky MC easily overcome endless difficulties, surrounded by people he takes under his wings, who he would save from their unfortunate fates, who in turn would dedicate their lives to protect and idolise the MC.

God I love this novel so much.

I started reading the novel because I was too impatient to wait for the manhua chapters to come out, so I read it from the beginning. There's obviously a lot the manhua left out so I was pleasantly surprised with the 'extra' content I read.

I love cale/krs SO much. He's definitely one of my favorite protagonists ever. I love Choi Han and Alberu and ofc ROAN lil babu roan. Tje side characters are so cute it makes me want to gobble them all up.

There's... more>> no romance at all in this book, cale (so far) has had no love interest.
Spoiler

The closest relationships he has are with Choi han and Alberu and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with either of them in the future because they care about each other a LOT lot.

[collapse]

There's a lot of teetee so it was really sweet to read.

There's a lot of plot actually and that's what kept me reading most of the time. There's a few times where it felt a bit slow but those times were minimal so yea...

The 700 or so chapters were very nice to read through, I never got sick of the length because it felt like no time had passed at all.

Now I'm left to wait for part 2 to come out.

I already miss everybody.

Also also the translation is really really nice, almost little to none grammatical mistakes. The only gripe that I had with it were the translator's notes because they would kinda break the immersion because they would be smack dab in the middle of a paragraph.

All in all I love this novel and it's great so you should definitely read it. <<less

Those with low reviews obviously haven't read far enough. This novel was one of my first few reads on transmigration/reincarnation. My thirst made me read up to 700 plus chapters because every arc showed development, and the further I read the more excited I got. The characters, the setting, and the whole plot is connected. Everything had their foundation. It was not "just because", there was purpose on the details I didn't even knew were important.

I only temporarily stopped reading because I was done with cliffhangers. I'm still patiently waiting... more>> for the updates. <<less

An absolute banger of a novel.

The main selling point of this novel imo is the emotion it generates when you read it. When I read the first major battle, I literally almost cried despite nobody dying. It's just that epic.

The characters are so well built that it's literally impossible to find fault in them. You can understand every and each characters actions and why they are doing certain things.

... more>> The protagonist is a badass and nobody can say no to this.

The world building is also really good, with cool powers and an epic history behind what we can see.

This novel doesn't have any romance, but that's what made it what it is currently. Simply friendship and bromance.

The single bad point about this novel is it's length. It is so f*cking long it can take you two weeks to binge it. And once you took a break from it, you'll probably forget half the stuff you've read about since the characters and world building is so damn complex. <<less

I'm in love with this novel and it's world. The humor is just my type and sure it kind of repeat with how they win almost easily all the time but it's to be expected since the MC knows the story to a point. One of the things I love the most is MC personality and the way he lay his plans and of course the lovely children and how they all develop in the story.

I can barely wait for the next chapter ❤️ ❤️
