Hello, Author here. In this thread, I will clarify some questions regarding the start of the book, and you can treat it as a Q&A as well. Firstly, the novel will seem a little odd to you at the start since it starts differently. But, I must insist that you read the free chapters, the first volume, until the end and bear with it a little since it is just an introduction to the work. I know at the start of the novel, Lucavion doesn't start as your typical main character of such novels, which is something I intended since, at the start of the novel, the main character is 14 years old and mentally unstable due to all the events surrounding him. Even though I know it may be frustrating to read a little, I also think that it is an accurate description of how a person who was put into such a position would think at those moments and the type of psychology that they would have. However, at the end of the first volume, his mentality and everything will have undergone a huge change, making it a lot more readable, and from then on, the story will stretch with many interpersonal relationships going on. For now, this is all I have to say about the book, and you may continue with your questions here. I will answer them if I can.

this novel is definitely one of the best ever!! I'm usually put off by most of those extra's novels because of the slow pace , or the MC being so weak for so long but this novel right here is absolute šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„! I hope it doesn't become a harem because I feel the girl he's with now is perfect for him, but even if it does šŸ¤·šŸæā€ā™‚ļø I'll still read because the novel is that damn good!

320 chapters in, time for a review: First of all I love this book, I am really happy that I decided to endure on and read through this book. But before I start glazing, I have to give criticism. This is probably just me being soft but the first 30 chapters are difficult to read because they are just too realistic. What the mc goes through is just pure trauma and sadness. Its like Murphy law where everything that could go wrong happens. The mc feels pathetic. It just feel grating to read how the poor boy has to suffer. The fact that mc is transmigrated into the book but at the same time has no memories/ sealed memories is a bit new and confusing for me especially with "Extra" setting. I wont lie I was on the edge of giving up multiple times during there chapters but I do understand there are important for building the story. However I would have appreciated a disclaimer in the synopsis explaining or warning about this. Now to the good part: I always appreciate a smart anti-hero mc. The bipolar nature and resourcefulness are a nice blend. The interactions mc has with "Valeria" specially are very refreshing and helps the readers understand how the mc will interact with the rest of the world. The smile that hides 1000 secrets. I have to say the character developments of the side characters is well done. A lot of books just dump 5 sides characters at once and give some specific personality traits regarding them and that's it Which leads to some of the most boring characters which you hope to just die. But thankfully the author puts efforts to actually build these characters and makes them feel like real people. Currently the author is using multiple chapters of solo-interactions with the other characters to build familiarity which I am enjoying quite well. If there characters were just dumped into the academy arc the characters would have been much more boring.There is also a lot of forshadowing regarding future characters and this builds anticipation for future events. All in all I have to say the book is in a very good place at the moment and I hope this continues in the future.

This is a story worth reading. Give it a shot. It has a familiar setting and setup for web novel veterans, but it is well written, has interesting characters, and picks up steam as you go along. It could use less internal monologues and philosophical musing, but that's not too big a deal. The one gripe I have is multiple POVs around the same events. If they add to the story or reveal some aspect that is not covered in Lucavions POV, fine. However, there are multiple instances where the pov changes and the same event is described, eye witness like, with little added commentary or content that advances the plot. Aside from this, so far, I've had a blast reading, and strongly recommend readers try out this new spin on novel transmigration.

I only read a few chapters. And, I don't need to see anymore of this nonsense. The main character is pathetic. In fact, I don't even want to acknowledge such patheticness as the main character. The girl Elena or whatever her name is, goes through tragedy events orchestrated by the villains, and it's very descriptively written about after it succeeded against her. I care not about how the story changes later. I ended up thinking about the pathetic fool before I went to bed last night. It infuriated me to no end. I had to come here and leave a review to feel better.

Starting off with the Mc. For reference, I have read up to chapter 254 as of this review. ā€”ā€”ā€” Writing quality: In terms of grammar and the like, I have seen no major issues. Although a silly spelling error or two have occured, they have not ruined my immersion. So grammar wise, it is quite alright. One compliment for the style is when it enters a combat. The author is not as ā€˜bluntā€™ with his writing style and combats. Many times during combats and what not, he gives good detail, which truly help one ā€˜imagineā€™ the scenery. Other times, itā€™s to the point. This is a balance in which I personally believe the author has done well in maintaining. ā€”ā€”ā€” Story Development: This story has not progressed super fast IMO. However it hasnā€™t been slow either. The author has done quite well in pushing forward the story and the world as a whole. One thing in which I believe was done quite well was the transmigration. -This paragraph will now go into minor spoilers.- One thing in which I typically dislike is how single focused some of the works that delve into this become on this topic. They make it the entire story. Which donā€™t get me wrong, is fine. But can sometimes feel repetitive. Here the author has done quite well in not fully focusing on it. Though like all, there is some cheat like aspects. An entire point of being someone with prior knowledge. But minus the one mage inheritance, all of the things he knows are character based. Such as the convictions of the pink knight. A welcome change to the usual extort resources from everywhere because prior knowledge. -SPOILERS END HERE- ā€”ā€”ā€” Character Design: Overall the characters have had enough depth to think about. They have goals. They have reasons, and not just ones that exist but actually hold weight. And perhaps most importantly, they donā€™t exist to just prop up the mcā€™s design. There is unreasonable people, like real life, and there is reasonable ones as well. The author has done quite well in making important characters intricate and still having some depth to those in which are not important. I personally have quite enjoyed the characters as a whole. ā€”ā€”ā€” World Background: Perhaps my most conflicted part here. The world background exists. And when it is shown, it does not disappoint. However, I have yet to see foreshadowing of events to come. Of things happening to show the world is just that, a world. Although it still feels like one, I personally feel this aspect needs more attention. Of course it could be I am dense, and have missed points of not so obvious foreshadowingā€¦ ā€”ā€”ā€” Overall Review: CONTAINS LOTS OF SPOILERS! I personally have enjoyed this novel thus far and now will go in depth of for my review of the story as a whole. Starting off this novel is a transmigration one. This can sometimes be forgotten by the reader. But this is the case: We join our mc in a world where he is immediately framed, and cast off by his family for the ā€˜betrayalā€™ he did. The ones in which should have loved him the most refused to hear him out. Yet there seemed to be no reasonā€¦ were the bonds forged a lie? We soon arrived at the war arc. (My favorite arc story building wise). Our mc, truly just a boy without the benefit we were seemingly promised. His identity as an otherworlder didnā€™t continue it seemed. At least for now. As time passed, our mc grew strong bonds through war. But war is not kind. Those he built bonds with would fall, for he was still weak. Names in which couldā€™ve been so important to be remembered, forgotten. Perhaps only a select few readers and the mc will remember. Naturally, no mc is an mc without some opportunity. Hence Gerald came into the picture. Originally just an old man, he was a bit more than that. Though grasping his strength even now can be difficult, he seemed to be an old man with knowledge and a way forward. He knew why the Mc was stuck. His innate body had stopped him from progressing. Furthermore, something came to light, this body is passed on, and limits one life to a mere two decades. And perhaps even more concerning, it is hereditary. Which brings the question: which one of his parents had it? Sadly the Mc was not informed of this horrible information, yet we were. Left to wonder; and perhaps soon forget. The path for our Mc would be opened by this man, and the typical ā€˜who am I?ā€™ Seemingly resolved, giving us back the man with knowledge of the future. The path for the mc to grow was set. One would reach for the stars, and use them. Then came the Duke. A man who could be understood, if one tried to at least. Born with such a position, and falling in love. Then through series of misconceptions, killing his best friend who he believed had done taken the wrong path, and only then, realizing what he had done as the man he held the strongest bond with perished before him. But this is not the Dukeā€™s story. As we transition back to the Mc, he knows the fate before him if he stays in this war. Death. The war was lost before it was waged. Using this knowledge, he planned his escape. Alone once again. He had grown, two-stars if one could believe it! But now, he was on the run; and the only place that was ā€˜safeā€™ was a deadly forest. As we transition into the arc where he meets the cat. Although I disliked it at first, opportunity must sprout from somewhere. This cat, a mythical beast, in which was connected to his master. Was it fate or coincidence? One cannot know, but it offered another unique power. One of life and death. An answer to the clock he is on? Or perhaps a justification of why he is so close to this unique death energy. One which would not be answered. At least yet. He would be forced to grow in this forest, and a monster would be born; and do not be mistaken, a monster he was. Hence the importance of the next location. The search for a sword. His estoc had failed him. Or so it seemed. For instead he had failed it. He came to a small town plagued by bandits, and found the man who he believed could make him a sword. However, this was not without a challenge, he was tasked to kill bandits, and to make it harder, he must use the blade he has now. For it was not the blades fault, but his. Hence begun a journey of finding a balance between the beast, and finesse. This would found, and we would see his strength truly for the first time. He had once again grown. This would earn him his sword. And let him meet the pink knight. The pink knight was someone understandable. She had convicitons and she had goals. She had come for glory, not for herself, but her family. Our mc offered another perspective. Is that all this knight wished for? The two would funnily enough find themselves on the same path as one another, and meet at a tourney. Here, the mc would use his knowledge once more. For himself, and for others. Whether it be underminding what seems to be an evil sect, or helping someone he knows so much about. Now before you is a summary, and I believe it paints how I saw this novel quite well. It has been a journey: one filled with excitment, curiousity, and wonder. And one I would highly recommend you at least try.

great characters, they are almost tangible. The world building is efficient and effective, almost all of the details were necessary for the story except for some details about cultivation being unclear. Great dialogue for all characters. character interactions are interesting and portray the traits of the characters effectively.

ok so i like it but 1. the writing is good yes it uses ai which like ok whatever i donā€™t care as long as itā€™s good but itā€™s repeating certain phrases too much and sometimes just makes the text really long but itā€™s still good 2. the pacing is good and i like the plot no complaints here 3. ironically even though the main character keeps whining about bad character writing i think itā€™s kind of an issue with this novel. specifically the main character, in the earlier arcs he feels human but at a certain point he just stops feeling like a human character and he only wins and everyone likes him and heā€™s never scared and never serious and just confined to a stereotype. 4. yeah the world building is pretty cool could use a little more background but itā€™s cool

The novel was initially good but to be honest the quality declined over time and the fillers were very numerous, such as repeating events that had already occurred, the intention was obviously to add words in order to have more premium chapters, but as previously reviewed, boring, a lot of plot armor, and the quality decreased due to the number of unnecessary fillers.

I like this work and his other work Hunter academy. Does a really good of developing characters and world. My biggest criticism is the pace, and how entire chapter and some time numerous chapters in a row is dedicated to idle conversations where nothing is happening.

I really like the story and I enjoy reading it and getting to know the characters. Itā€™s a good read and no issues that truly stick out except for the grammar or punctuation errors. Another thing I find a bit unsettling is how the characters interact, especially when they talk. It feels as if they are putting on a show, as if they are part of some drama or play. I get that this is a story but the flowery descriptions and constant repetition of something the author said literally a paragraph before would then be explained again with even more detail and flowery descriptions. Thatā€™s the only turn-off with the book in my opinion but other than that, Iā€™m still enjoying it. Not more than the authorā€™s Villainess novel but yeah, still enjoying it

The character design and development is great. But the plot is way to cliche! Like more than once have i already prideicted the plot when a scene starts. like when he will meet his master etc. The plot is way too predictable if you are a veteran reader. Just like watching a romance anime. But the execution is pretty good. Though more than once the novel feels like it was written by A.I. This novel literally has all the tropes of the underdog MC types. I would advise the author to make it more realistic the plot i mean. Like the chances of such encounters is insanely low!! Especially how MC and Elara found their masters.

story may not be for everyone, especially if youā€™re looking for immediate action or quick resolutions. But if youā€™re willing to go through the slower, heavier beginning, the emotional payoff is immense. This is a story of healing, overcoming internal battles, and finding strength in vulnerability. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy stories where the MCā€™s growth is just as important as the plot itself.

I love your book again making another review after reading all the chapters. This is the perfect balance of growth and character development and molding it into a plot in the story. The character actually has a identifiable personality that isnā€™t just a forced personality but one molded by his experiences and what he has been through. Or just projected your character traits onto a characters. Itā€™s very easy to read when people with middle school syndrome write a book comparing it to people who actually have experience with life. He keeps his obsession with his swords and I love that he wasnā€™t just some loser with no attachments to his past life. His estoc is a good weapon choice. At first I was unsure but how you wrote it made it very good. Like how he stabbed the his familiar on their first encounter, that was hilarious. But it matched his personality. He didnā€™t stop to admire how cute it was. Especially the ice sect (I forgot it was cloud something) I liked how you described them, keeping the equality and balance. Iā€™m really liking the current events building up. Everyone is human. Especially how you describe the characters actions it fits him extremely well, especially the amount of detail you put in everything is just right. Like how he conducts himself. Like a free spirit. I especially like his personality trope of Dancing with death even with the devil at some points. I wish I could find more books like this with a mc thatā€™s like this also. Or has experienced something like this that changed them. This book has given me alot of insight, thank you.

Read the whole thing, the pacing is good if you donā€™t have a TikTok brain like half the reviewers. The Mc slowly adapts like a human and once he overcomes his mental block it gets 1000x better. The emotions the Mc feels in the story arenā€™t too forced and the supporting characters are fleshed out enough as well. The main drawback is the fact that most of the females are super cliche, Fe: Crazy yandere Tsun tsun knight Childhood best friend who has always loved him And prob the Flmc of the original story after she finds the truth They arenā€™t very real feeling. Iā€™d rather no romance than the stereotypical harem that will not progress and will just be used as filler in between plot points. Overall not bad ig. Has pontential to be amazing and could be someoneā€™s favorite story.

Of course it could be I am dense, and have missed points of not so obvious foreshadowingā€¦ ā€”ā€”ā€” Overall Review: CONTAINS LOTS OF SPOILERS! I personally have enjoyed this novel thus far and now will go in depth of for my review of the story as a whole. Starting off this novel is a transmigration one. This can sometimes be forgotten by the reader. But this is the case: We join our mc in a world where he is immediately framed, and cast off by his family for the ā€˜betrayalā€™ he did. The ones in which should have loved him the most refused to hear him out. Yet there seemed to be no reasonā€¦ were the bonds forged a lie? We soon arrived at the war arc. (My favorite arc story building wise). Our mc, truly just a boy without the benefit we were seemingly promised. His identity as an otherworlder didnā€™t continue it seemed. At least for now. As time passed, our mc grew strong bonds through war. But war is not kind. Those he built bonds with would fall, for he was still weak. Names in which couldā€™ve been so important to be remembered, forgotten. Perhaps only a select few readers and the mc will remember. Naturally, no mc is an mc without some opportunity. Hence Gerald came into the picture. Originally just an old man, he was a bit more than that. Though grasping his strength even now can be difficult, he seemed to be an old man with knowledge and a way forward. He knew why the Mc was stuck. His innate body had stopped him from progressing. Furthermore, something came to light, this body is passed on, and limits one life to a mere two decades. And perhaps even more concerning, it is hereditary. Which brings the question: which one of his parents had it? Sadly the Mc was not informed of this horrible information, yet we were. Left to wonder; and perhaps soon forget. The path for our Mc would be opened by this man, and the typical ā€˜who am I?ā€™ Seemingly resolved, giving us back the man with knowledge of the future. The path for the mc to grow was set. One would reach for the stars, and use them. Then came the Duke. A man who could be understood, if one tried to at least. Born with such a position, and falling in love. Then through series of misconceptions, killing his best friend who he believed had done taken the wrong path, and only then, realizing what he had done as the man he held the strongest bond with perished before him. But this is not the Dukeā€™s story. As we transition back to the Mc, he knows the fate before him if he stays in this war. Death. The war was lost before it was waged. Using this knowledge, he planned his escape. Alone once again. He had grown, two-stars if one could believe it! But now, he was on the run; and the only place that was ā€˜safeā€™ was a deadly forest. As we transition into the arc where he meets the cat. Although I disliked it at first, opportunity must sprout from somewhere. This cat, a mythical beast, in which was connected to his master. Was it fate or coincidence? One cannot know, but it offered another unique power. One of life and death. An answer to the clock he is on? Or perhaps a justification of why he is so close to this unique death energy. One which would not be answered. At least yet. He would be forced to grow in this forest, and a monster would be born; and do not be mistaken, a monster he was. Hence the importance of the next location. The search for a sword. His estoc had failed him. Or so it seemed. For instead he had failed it. He came to a small town plagued by bandits, and found the man who he believed could make him a sword. However, this was not without a challenge, he was tasked to kill bandits, and to make it harder, he must use the blade he has now. For it was not the blades fault, but his. Hence begun a journey of finding a balance between the beast, and finesse. This would found, and we would see his strength truly for the first time. He had once again grown. This would earn him his sword. And let him meet the pink knight. The pink knight was someone understandable. She had convicitons and she had goals. She had come for glory, not for herself, but her family. Our mc offered another perspective. Is that all this knight wished for? The two would funnily enough find themselves on the same path as one another, and meet at a tourney. Here, the mc would use his knowledge once more. For himself, and for others. Whether it be underminding what seems to be an evil sect, or helping someone he knows so much about. Now before you is a summary, and I believe it paints how I saw this novel quite well. It has been a journey: one filled with excitment, curiousity, and wonder. And one I would highly recommend you at least try.

great characters, they are almost tangible. The world building is efficient and effective, almost all of the details were necessary for the story except for some details about cultivation being unclear. Great dialogue for all characters. character interactions are interesting and portray the traits of the characters effectively.

ok so i like it but 1. the writing is good yes it uses ai which like ok whatever i donā€™t care as long as itā€™s good but itā€™s repeating certain phrases too much and sometimes just makes the text really long but itā€™s still good 2. the pacing is good and i like the plot no complaints here 3. ironically even though the main character keeps whining about bad character writing i think itā€™s kind of an issue with this novel. specifically the main character, in the earlier arcs he feels human but at a certain point he just stops feeling like a human character and he only wins and everyone likes him and heā€™s never scared and never serious and just confined to a stereotype. 4. yeah the world building is pretty cool could use a little more background but itā€™s cool

The novel was initially good but to be honest the quality declined over time and the fillers were very numerous, such as repeating events that had already occurred, the intention was obviously to add words in order to have more premium chapters, but as previously reviewed, boring, a lot of plot armor, and the quality decreased due to the number of unnecessary fillers.

I like this work and his other work Hunter academy. Does a really good of developing characters and world. My biggest criticism is the pace, and how entire chapter and some time numerous chapters in a row is dedicated to idle conversations where nothing is happening.

There was no point to the whole transmigration shtick. Other than that, I think this book is looking to be a normal fantasy novel.

I really like the story and I enjoy reading it and getting to know the characters. Itā€™s a good read and no issues that truly stick out except for the grammar or punctuation errors. Another thing I find a bit unsettling is how the characters interact, especially when they talk. It feels as if they are putting on a show, as if they are part of some drama or play. I get that this is a story but the flowery descriptions and constant repetition of something the author said literally a paragraph before would then be explained again with even more detail and flowery descriptions. Thatā€™s the only turn-off with the book in my opinion but other than that, Iā€™m still enjoying it. Not more than the authorā€™s Villainess novel but yeah, still enjoying it

The character design and development is great. But the plot is way to cliche! Like more than once have i already prideicted the plot when a scene starts. like when he will meet his master etc. The plot is way too predictable if you are a veteran reader. Just like watching a romance anime. But the execution is pretty good. Though more than once the novel feels like it was written by A.I. This novel literally has all the tropes of the underdog MC types. I would advise the author to make it more realistic the plot i mean. Like the chances of such encounters is insanely low!! Especially how MC and Elara found their masters.

Yep definitely a 5/5 rating. The Start was a pain to go through but it built how we see the MC in the ongoing chapters. Definitely a must read. [img=update][img=recommend]

story may not be for everyone, especially if youā€™re looking for immediate action or quick resolutions. But if youā€™re willing to go through the slower, heavier beginning, the emotional payoff is immense. This is a story of healing, overcoming internal battles, and finding strength in vulnerability. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy stories where the MCā€™s growth is just as important as the plot itself.

I love your book again making another review after reading all the chapters. This is the perfect balance of growth and character development and molding it into a plot in the story. The character actually has a identifiable personality that isnā€™t just a forced personality but one molded by his experiences and what he has been through. Or just projected your character traits onto a characters. Itā€™s very easy to read when people with middle school syndrome write a book comparing it to people who actually have experience with life. He keeps his obsession with his swords and I love that he wasnā€™t just some loser with no attachments to his past life. His estoc is a good weapon choice. At first I was unsure but how you wrote it made it very good. Like how he stabbed the his familiar on their first encounter, that was hilarious. But it matched his personality. He didnā€™t stop to admire how cute it was. Especially the ice sect (I forgot it was cloud something) I liked how you described them, keeping the equality and balance. Iā€™m really liking the current events building up. Everyone is human. Especially how you describe the characters actions it fits him extremely well, especially the amount of detail you put in everything is just right. Like how he conducts himself. Like a free spirit. I especially like his personality trope of Dancing with death even with the devil at some points. I wish I could find more books like this with a mc thatā€™s like this also. Or has experienced something like this that changed them. This book has given me alot of insight, thank you.

Read the whole thing, the pacing is good if you donā€™t have a TikTok brain like half the reviewers. The Mc slowly adapts like a human and once he overcomes his mental block it gets 1000x better. The emotions the Mc feels in the story arenā€™t too forced and the supporting characters are fleshed out enough as well. The main drawback is the fact that most of the females are super cliche, Fe: Crazy yandere Tsun tsun knight Childhood best friend who has always loved him And prob the Flmc of the original story after she finds the truth They arenā€™t very real feeling. Iā€™d rather no romance than the stereotypical harem that will not progress and will just be used as filler in between plot points. Overall not bad ig. Has pontential to be amazing and could be someoneā€™s favorite story.

One of the better free stories in the past coming of weeks. Wish the second arc was done better. It kinda of got predictable and boring after the first arc. Really hoping the author comes up with something fresh instead of the same predictable story
