Edea: Hero Summoning Conspiracy

LV 12

oceanpollen

A loser with no attachment to his old life gets summoned to another world to be its hero--and then is betrayed, realizing only at the end how badly his friends in this new world had been treated by the 'allies' that were around him at the end. He then awakens as a six-year-old, ten years before the summoning. Why's he a loser with no attachments? Because back on Earth his family and allies were peeled away in a succession of accidents, murder, and coercion. An elite life of a "young lord" had been taken away from him, and he didn't even know it. Why not take him only back to the time of his summoning? Because he wasn't that OP--as a hero he was a meathead, because a sword was good enough for the Demon King's army. The humans that summoned him would see through him, see that that he hated them, and then would've just overpowered him with magic and delayed their plans. The MC needs to unfuck his past, get re-summoned to be a hero, and then protect his friends in the new world while pretending to go along with people he knows will betray him after he succeeds in what he knows to be an unjust war. I like how the author is taking the MC's problems seriously. Fifth stars are reserved for a beastgirl waifu. An elf can come too. Complaints you'll have/notice: 1. elite six-year-olds are smart and act like adults. The MC in particular has to re-learn acting like a brat. Personally I think that intelligence varies a lot more between people than between ages (stupid people are stupid their whole lives; smart people are smart their whole lives) and aren't bothered by this, but lots of people are. 2. at C101, all chapters but the first few have taken place in the 'past', and there's been only one two-year time skip. You're not going to see a beastgirl waifu for a while. IMO, whether this is bad or good depends ultimately on how long the story is. Ultimately the story may be 10% MILFs-from-the-past and 90% beastgirl-waifus. It's too early to be unhappy with the story. If you're bored by the MILFs, then you're just not compatible with this author and shouldn't expect a setting change to fix that.

I will probably update this review when the story is progressed This is good work. The story is amazingly build with fact and answer of some of the previous question that could have been raised. The MC look like a one sided character in the begining but the author did an amazing work in puting firstfruits since the begining that would allow to lead in changing his personality, why he react like he would. For the writing quality I gave 5 stars since I didn't find any glaring grammatical error. 4 stars for update stabilty since it stay mostly consistent except for some unexpected happening ( 5 star would be the work of a robot or a superior A.I 😀). 4.2star for story development even though , like some previous review said, the synopsis doesn't matches the actual arcs of the story BUT THE AUTHOR ALREADY EXPLAINED HIMSELF WHY IT WAS LIKE THIS!! So some review who blame this aren't accurate. -An example would be people in my native country who systematically dock points on games that aren't in the country languages like the Yakuza series (some gave 0 because it was only for " english" people"). 3.5-4 stars for chara development: MC and his relatives are described quite well but it falls a bit short for some of the antagonists or distant related 3 stars for world background since the modern world is described but not so much. Morover the fantasy world hasn't been explored has of the current chapters Truthfully a good story that could potentially become amazing, even though there is some flaws. But as sole said "error is human"

To those looking for a quick read/ fix, I do not recommend this novel. Why? Because this is a novel that encourages readers to think about some matters themselves. (The author has already confirmed this.) This novel starts out slow and you would probably be one of those complaining at the early chapters and dropping this if you're looking for a complete MC right at the very start. Even the simplest of lines delivered in the early chapters come to bite you if you haven't realized it in the later chapters or volumes. I think that is what I like most about this novel. If you don't want a simple-minded MC that never changes, then this is the novel for you. I've seen a lot of people in the comments section bashing the author about how much of an ass the MC is towards people but it was clearly said that he had been forced to spend an unspecified amount of time in the dark void as he watched his life pass by him to the point that he had memorized the people and suspected everyone of acting against him. Anyone with a decent mental capacity can figure out that he was unexpectedly put in his 6 year old self as a damaged, paranoid person. That is where it all begins. Here is a novel that focuses on people/ characters rather than just killing off people. You can read how the MC grows and changes from a broken person with PTSD and turns into a calculative protagonist rather than the previous hotblooded version of himself. Of course, this novel is by no means perfect. As it starts from the MC reverting to his 6 year-old self, many might question the maturity of the people in his age group. I myself did not mind it much as I saw it as them growing up in such an 'elitist?' environment that they were portrayed to act in such ways. The updates were also unstable at some point. Also kudos to the Author for being easy to talk to in the discord channel. I've seen many readers' inquiries and doubts answered in there.

Hello everyone! Author here. Wanted to welcome everyone to the page and I hope you enjoy reading. This is my very first release here and hope to continue until this project is completed. I'm wiring this in a light novel type format so i intend to separate them by volume. I also intend to add a few artworks here and there once they are completed to get a better look at the characters themselves. (Hopefully the site gives that option in the future).

I may be a bit biased since I've been following the author since his older novels on nanowrimo, textnovel, gen-o, etc. First of all i dont know if you remember me but I've read Soul Links, Crimson Requiem, Riddi Chronicle and I'm glad to see you writing again. I wouldn't have known had I not seen the tweet on your textnov twitter. I just have a few advice for those who started reading. Pay attention to detail, questions left unanswered will lead to spoilers, be patient, enjoy yourselves. This author will take you for a spin so be prepared. There used to be a forum made by this guy and thise who joined would get insights and interactions but i guess discord is the rave nowadays. Now for the review. I can see that you've improved a lot and the lack of the typos we got used to are almost nowhere to be seen. I wonder if you still typed like you used to and can still dish out a volume in 2-3 weeks lol. The story is nice and I still see your usual style. I can see from the comments that people react the way we used to. I look forward to see what you have for us especially after you're done with the first volume. This is like a mix of Riddi Chron and Crimson req since we have the childhood arc. I have a few theories from what I've read so far but I'm sure you're not gonna confirm anything because you're a sadist. I have a lot of expectations from this and I hope that it goes well. I'll also try to get the other readers over here so they won't miss this new novel.

*sign* As one of the person who vote other people 0-3 star and criticize them harshly this past few days, I have finally found a good well paced, not too op but still op, and the main character which I have been reading this past few weeks are all retarded in one point in another, this character although ***** at the start can still sit down and talk to a demon lord rather than killing it like a d*mb*ass like the usually only to be betrayed, he talked to it first even though he died he got his revenge, anyway the story is although not exciting as most of the other story i enjoyed have a good pacing to it that can relax and let me enjoy it in peace without getting pissed the the hell up like the usual b*llshit type. ANYWAY, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to read this masterpiece or at least a good paced story rather than the usual cliche.

This is whitout A doubt one of, if not THE best novel on this site/app! If you like a novel with a pretty OP and slightly anti-hero main protagonist, then this novel is for you! Even if it is not, you owe yourself The chance to read it, you will not be disappointed, i can promise you that... The only thing i Can say against this novel, is that it is slightly slow, and thats it, period!! so in conclusion: READ THIS NOVEL!!!!

I have nothing but praise for this novel, the way dialogue is written, the way the world is built, the scenario. The characters feel like they *exist* they have feelings and problems, the mc doesent just read people like a book(ive seen this too much) but tries to understand them even though its hard, and when he finally does understand someones motivation or the like, its that much more satisfying. The way this is written and the way the scenario plays out makes it feel like im watching a documentary about real people and their experiences through life, instead of reading a fantasy novel, i love the way the author writes and ive even considered supporting the author if it meant more chapters. All in all, i love it. Keep it comin

tl:dr A fresh, creative, interesting approach to the Isekai genre. An easy pick to be in the top of the original novels present and a great example when it comes to an author that takes character developments seriously. From all the Chinese Novels that I read that are very very racist against Japanese, I was surprised to find a novel in the rank 50s that has a Japanese protagonist. That Aside, the story might be quite slow paced to the others considering the very fantasy esque beginning but I would rather have this than those novels that make their MCs super OP without much explanation as to how they ended up that way. I personally love how the author made his MC very human like and I could very much relate on how he thinks. You can feel how the MC grows and there has rarely been a novel that cares how their main characters grow on an emotional level. The dialogues are fun and entertaining but is cleverly made to define the characters that are speaking. I usually get confused on dialogues of other novels but each one is made with care so that the readers can identify who is speaking at a given time which I give a huge kudos to. I can rave all about what I like about this novel because I just didn’t expect to find a gem like this hidden in the originals section that almost made me give up on even trying so let me put some negative things I found. First should be the typographical errors. They can be ignored because I only notice them when I used the text to speech function but I must point it out. Second would be the additional details about the characters’ physical appearance which I later learned was on purpose because the author was making artwork for them. Third would be cliffhangers that would find themselves being released at days where the next wouldn’t have new chapters. I hate when that happens. And last would be the lack of chapters but considering the quality I get in exchange for it, I rather really would prefer a slower alternative than a trashy made up one with continuous updates. All in all, I am currently loving this novel. I hope that it doesn’t change all that much because of the comments I’ve been reading that ask the author to change things up. This is a very good pace in my opinion and like them, I am very curious as to how you’re going to do the transition between his current life in the modern world that we have come to love, to the revenge starting once he gets back to the other world. You have my support and I’ll keep pumping my powerstones to support this novel.

This is definitely more then just a story to kill time as it has a compelling story and good characters and I recommend it as a good read. I always want to know the worst aspect of a story before I invest the time to read and there is only one true flaw and that is the age of the characters. The MC is 6 as are a lot of the characters he interacts with, but the maturity level of the characters is that of full blown adults unless the story calls for them to act immature. This flaw goes away if you pretend in your head that all the kids are 11-13 so it isn't that bad of an issue.

This is definitely one of my favorites. I have yet to find a better story when it comes to character development. The grammar is good, and the plot keeps me at the edge of my seat.

Tl:dr one of the best original novels on this platform The first few chapters provide a glimpse into the greater story but around chapter 5 we get a genre change from revenge fantasy to slice of life. It is quite jarring and with every chapter I keep on expecting, well hoping to be honest, to see some of that fantasy come back out. It is like seeing Lord of the Rings morph into Masumune-kun no Revenge. The other main negative is that there is feeling of time passing in a consistant way. Things which should take months get done in a day and scenes segway into one another with no real way to tell how much time has passed between them. With that said, this novel does slice of life quite well. I just pray it doesn't follow the path of the failure rabbit and dead end itself like Arifurita did. Kudos to the author for putting this out there. Take my power stones as tribute.

Good stuff and keeps getting better... I got hooked in first few chapters. I like reading how the MC is dealing with his new reality and challenges. I look forward to reading every chapter when it comes out, I also look forward to what you do going forward with the story. I wish it had more updates, leaving to many cliff hangers in a single volume leaves a bad taste. From World building to character background all done very well.You have earned my power stones, I hope others take a chance on this story; because I did and I don't regret doing so.Nice story!

i love the story. i hope you continue doing what you're doing. i really like how the mc goes back with his memories to before the fantasy world unlike other JP/CN/KR novels i have read that are not even close to being as good as this is. although i'm looking forward to when the mc goes back to the fantasy world to get his revenge and meet with all those friends he unknowingly got killed and having a whole new adventure there, i really don't want to move past his childhood and modern part of the story. I cant help but want to stretch this out for as long as possible because i love it so much.

This is honestly my favorite style of novel, where they have knowledge of one future and do everything in their power to not let that future come to pass. The author does a wonderful job so far and I can’t wait to to see what happens next!

Hello, it's your friend Old Skin. I'm here just to glorify this awesome novel that our dear Ruruci created. It's one of the best original novels here without a shade of doubt. The only thing that I hate about it its that as the story begins to take shape and become enjoyable, suddenly the story becomes a drug that we don't receive enough. What I meant was we need more charter, please dear Ruruci. Apart from that you have the support of your dear old man, Old Skin😎😮😐

TheSoundOfSilence

For the first time I find a good novel on webnovel. Or maybe I should say a complete novel. The character is well designed, with realistic emotions. A enjoyable writing style. Even though I'm not English so I'm not that knowledgeable about english litterature, I think it could be produced as a good quality book in cooperation with an editor. If author's goal is to gain some money, then you should think about it. My only worry is that, like most webnovels, the plot would become a way for the author to expand the life of the novel, which usually gives a novel a gruesome end. I hope author enjoys writing as much as I enjoy reading.

Too tell you the truth, this novel is amazing. The content, is undeniably, UNDERATED. And here, i feel the need to highlight that if you need a new prespecive to look at manhua ( as cultivation stuff and all) , then, this, this, is where i would recomend you to go.

Holy_Regal

Overall from what I have just read, it is a good or should I say excellent story line with the typical ***** dumb MC. It can be improved further by adding more description about the character, the Edea background. However I really look forward the the story development from you author. Keep the hard work and please take care of the quality. I don't want the quality to deteriorate overtime. I suggest that even though it takes longer to release it, just keep the quality maintained.

Nier_Xue

Probably one of the best original novel writer out there.. You may not like the novel, (well i don't there.. i don't like mc's starting age which leaves too many plot holes..) But you will like authors writing style.. The writing quality of this novel is some next level ****..

Hi! 👋 when I first saw you novel, I was quite intersted in it so I directly read the fist chapter. After reading some chapters I was disappointed because I though this will be just like any other “japanese hero revenge story”. So I quicly dropped it; oh how foolish I have been 🤦‍♂️. So after a month or so I was getting bored on waiting for chapters to be release on either translated of orignals, so I searched for intersting novels by starting at the ranking list. I saw your novel again, so I was suprised how it got so far because I though it will be just like any other “japanese hero revenge story”. I was also bored at that time so I quickly read it; and here I am giving a review of how stupid I have been and wished that I read your novel sooner. Anyway its a great novel and I hope you increase the release per day if you have spare time 😆. I also read some of the reviews, I too hope I can read your other novels as they say in the reviews. Anyways, continue writing this amazing novel, young man 😂 (by the way if you see question marks it is emojies from my device, I think apple users are the only one’ s who can see it though, so others may mistake it for a question) 😆😆😂😂😁😁😁
