How can a novel of such high quality be present here in this site, where half of the time is spent on searching for books which are at least readable. Gosh, I can't emphasize how amazing of a novel this is. The world is alive, the characters are human, there's logic to the world and power, the MC feels very relatable, the pace of the story is perfect, and the storyline is awesome!! READ IT NOW!!!!
This story is good, however, i havent seen any reviews really criticizing anything, so ill have to do it myself. First, the author seems to enjoy wasting time rambling needlessly for chapters on end. A simple trimp from a village to the academy took like 20 chapters for no reason, it could have been handled within 5. Second, i noticed that he attempts to make the MC appear smart in the initial chapters but it just comes across as forced and makes the MC look dumber because his “smarts” are common sense lol (BUT because it was the initial chapters ima let that slide) Third, once again coming back to the authors rambling. Each action and even that take place do NOT need to be 5-10 chapters long lol, not ever event is that important and shouldnt be drawn out for the word count. Fourth, (just a pet peeve of mine) i feel that the MC is very naive for no reason. Like not in the normal sense of the word but hes very easily influenced?? If that makes sense. Like, he sees some man fly, and freaks out and starts “respecting him” (even though this dude literally met GOD 5 seconds ago) I dont know it is just weird, this kind of stuff happens a lot. (Anyways, loving the story so far author, hope you dont do anything so outrageous that i end up dropping, youd be suprised how many times that happens)
I can’t wait to see where this novel goes! LitOW is an incredible novel and my expectations are even higher for this one! Show us what you got Warmaisach!!!
I like the descriptive fights however they can become boring after a while. The world background is pretty fleshed out but there seems to be a lot that the Author still haven't shown the readers yet. The process of gaining power is pretty interesting and the explanations are good. It has so many time skips its annoying. There a like 10 time skips for multiple years and dozens of time skips that skip months. I dislike character design of the MC. His thirst for power is just utterly insane, I understand that being his over-arching goal however he just completely removes anything from his life that won't help him in gaining more power. Later on he just becomes a total sociopath. When hiding he kills anyone who enters his general area when he could easily avoid them. He regularly summons and sends hundreds of insane creatures to attack towns (btw they literally hate all living things and actually DESTROY matter/energy, their entire desire is to devour the world) just so he can have up to a 25% increase in his physical ability. A duke sets a bounty on him so he completely destroys the dukes town of over a thousand people. He also has no point for wanting power. He is willing to kill thousands of innocent people, civilians, men, women and children just so he can have pointless power. He doesn't want friendship or luxury or love or ideals. He just wants power cause he hates the feeling of being weak and not in control. His mental age is 38 but his mindset is that of an absolute child.

The world setup is great, which is why it is so disappointing that the mc has such an unlikable personality. The only character growth is negative and repetitive. There are less than half a dozen people who the mc even considers worth talking to, but he'd let them all die for a 5% increase in power.
160 chapters review the novel is good at the beginning but the pace is very slow the magic system is quite organized although I don't like the fights they take too long they explain too much and the MC is traumatized for having killed people who deserved to die. He has personality problems from his past on earth; also people are extremely talkative the protagonist just says ah ah and they respond like 56 paragraphs trying to change MC way of thinking I don't understand how this happens, but is annoying. instead I would like more worlbuilding explaining how the world works.
Review as of chapter 630. Might include minor spoilers but I'll try to keep them to a minimum. Short Version: Stop scrolling through reviews and just go read the novel! Long Version: I'll start off by saying that this novel is simply amazing. Stories like this are what keeps me from just deleting the app due to the sheer number of unreadable nonsense it has. Now for an actual breakdown: Writing Quality - The quality is simply top-notch. No grammatical mistakes, clear and concise sentences that flow into each other beautifully, as well as smooth transitions between different points throughout the story. It's obvious that the author has improved in this regard by quite a bit, compared to his first novel (Lightning is the Only Way), which was already incredible by Webnovel standards. Story Development - The novel is slow-paced for the most part, and especially at the beginning, but I find that positive in this case, since we get a better look at the struggles Alex (later Shang) has to go through to adapt to a completely new reality where his life is constantly on the line. There are eventual time skips in the story, which are unavoidable simply due to the fact that you can't become a Sword God without hundreds (quite possibly thousands at this rate) years of training. Character Design - This is the biggest reason for this novel's success. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is fleshed out in such detail that it wouldn't surprise me if the author one day revealed he has been studying the human mind for over 100 years. As for Shang himself, the many hardships he has gone through and the eventual revelation that he is, for reasons I obviously won't mention here, the enemy of the world (Opposer vibes 😉), have made him resolved to do whatever it takes to reach his goal. He will sacrifice anything and anyone for power. Updating Stability - Not much to say here. 2 chapters a day plus the fact that the author is an absolute legend. Broke both his arms at some point and somehow still pushed out chapters until he was eventually forced to take a small break. World Background - We get a basic understanding of how the world works and how the mages have complete rule over it early in the story and get more and more pieces of information in regards to the powers they wield, as well as the nature of the world itself, as the story progresses. Admittedly, there have been a few instances where the author goes into too much detail about something that isn't really relevant, but that isn't nearly enough to make the story less enjoyable, at least for me. Overall, this is truly an incredible story and I highly recommend it. Truly impressive work so far, Heat. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Very interesting premise, top notch writing quality and a power system that makes you want to learn more about it. Writing this at only 20 chapters in, but I recommend people to try, if for nothing else then simply because the authors previous novel was incredible.
generic trash novel. downloaded this because i was going to a remote area just to read a nonsense, unexciting, full of **it novel. waste of time.
Quite good at start but there are a lot of problems with this novel: A lot of unnecessary information Moral things Says Alex/Shang is not dumb(proceeds to not sleep and keep going even though he is going in more danger. it's just asking for death but he is still alive because of how thick his plot armor is.)

just wow! full transparency I was only looking for a book to read as a filler story while waiting for other novels in my library to update. Instead I have found myself completely immersed into the authors story here and now find myself hoping for additional chapters every time I open the app! The pace of the story is on point, actions and reactions are realistic and the MC isn't an invincible character that will get out of every scenario unharmed. The story is unique and there is world building happening in the background that comes to light that you realize the world is so much bigger than the MC realizes I am going to have to check out the authors other novel to see if I love it just as much as this one
This is one of the most disappointing stories I've ever read. The story concept is fantastic and the setting is amazing! Unfortunately, the main character continuously shows no growth mentally, and slowly devolves into a psychopathic killer who cares only about themselves. They repeatedly tease the readers by showing a small amount of emotional growth, then immediately revert back into being a heartless killing machine. If you want to watch someone fall into being a villain, I guess this story is for you. I wish there had been a tag for it, because I wouldn't have wasted my time.
Call me crazy but I would like my MC to have a higher reason for existing than entertaining a bored God. The novel is mediocre, the power system is not that good with the MC becoming powerful by breaking his body and absorbing mana to heal the damage. Also the MC is limited to not using magic by the God for his amusement and thrown into the middle of a forest in a teenager body with 1 day's supplies surrounded by monsters and no survivalist knowledge but equipped with handy dandy plot armour because why have an MC that can use logic and reasoning to navigate dangerous situations when plot armour does just fine. Overall I give the novel a solid Meh...
first let me tell you that this review contains spoiler ! is it worth your money ? ( coins ) It depends . If you enjoy stories without harem / romance / then go ahead . It's a gold . If you want a harem tag tagging along then it's a disappointment harem - no there isn't . I'm the type of guy who doesn't read novels if it doesn't have harem tag .. no harem ? drop ! . but the author doesn't come clean about if it contains harem and to find out your self . Remember he doesn't say that it doesn't contains harem and to find out your self .. which is a bait to capture more readers . Personal review - 1 -200 chapters all the mc does is train ,eat , sleep , have a mental breakdown , and the cycle repeats itself . I thought of dropping couple of times but went forward anyway . It's quite irritating at this rate . after chapter 300 it's quite readable and story continues to get interesting . And it made me forgot all the frustration I had previously . I dropped at 402 chapter after the protagonist wants to share about orgin of him and his teacher ( they are from earth ) and about the god to others . It destroyed the full meaning of the story for me and I don't like when the protagonist goes around telling others about his secret / Trump card / system / god / reincarnation etc .. what's the point ? it's the only thing that makes mc unique and, I think people who argue about it are people pleasers . whatever is the case I don't care anymore . . natural review- extremely well detailed story , slow I mean extremely slow story till 300 chapter and later story takes off . Interesting world background . Good updating stability . well though story and characters development . if you can handle till 300 chapters . .. you won't be disappointed .
This is one of those famous cases where the person possesses a genuinely great idea but executes it poorly. About 90% of the story consists of the protagonist's training, which is incredibly tedious. The protagonist is portrayed as an emotionless rock, and towards the end, undergoes an abrupt personality shift to become a clichéd villain "devoid of empathy." I'm a fan of stories featuring villains; my favorite novel is Reverend Insanity, but Shang is perhaps the most uninteresting character I've ever come across. The world depicted in the story feels entirely artificial and lifeless, almost as if it were merely a theatrical backdrop. The characters don't hold much significance to the narrative and seem to exist solely to create a false illusion of a living, breathing world. Occasionally, a character plays a crucial role in advancing the plot, but once that purpose is served, the author either forgets about them or kills them abruptly. To be honest, some parts of the story piqued my interest, such as the action-packed fights and the intricate power system. However, I prefer stories that evoke strong emotions, that quicken my heartbeat, and keep me on edge, eagerly anticipating what will unfold in the next chapter—a roller coaster of emotions, so to speak. Yet, this story felt more like a monotonous car trip on a bumpy road. I had hoped for something captivating, but it turned out to be disappointingly mediocre.

It felt slightly fresh in the beginning but got boring very fast after MC got into acadmy. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants to see slightly faster progress in story.
I like moit was a good read but after MC reach academy, its become tedious and uninteresting to read, lot of info dump, lot of an obvious and unimportant MC thoughts.

One of my favorite things of this world is how much age matters, it's so refreshing for a story to have a reason for characters to have a reason to go until the end of their current realm's longevity, and be rewarded for doing so, just a simple thing that as a veteran reader really surprised me and i hope to see in more novels, but i'll probably depend on this author to deliver more of this in the future. Overall the story has great wiring quality, relatively few mistakes that don't break immersion, the story is complete so that's a 5 on stability for me, the development is pretty unique as we see shang turn into a true monsters by the end of the novel, the character design is fine if a bit bland, mostly due to how we only have a handful of side characters at a time, and the world background is amazing, aetherium has very clear rules that are always followed. One minor gripe i have with the world is how much the world incentivizes people to stay at the peak of their realm, while it does make sense in this novel as it helps improve comprehension it removes most options people have to increase their realm, which gets stale pretty fast in this world where you need that mana to go to the next realm, it removes too much agency from the weaker realms when the only way forward is joining a organization. Now is my biggest gripe with this novel, which is the ending, i heavily advice you stop reading here if you haven't seen the ending yet, the story is still worth reading. Man, this ending sucks. I've been pondering over this for the last 2 days, and the more i think about it the angrier i get, so follow me as i describe why i think this is a major narative fail. 1. Show don't tell, we had very high stakes until this point, but all that is suddenly ruined, why? because from the start of this fight we knew shang was just going to play with the emperors, and the lighting emperor also knew. Come on you could have ommited that for better story telling, would it cost so much to make shang an emperor first at least so us readers are at edge, or at least make him seem weaker, let him beat the weaklings emper who barely have 2-3x spirit sense and then show his true power on the archivist, by removing all the tension from the fight the fight wasn't satisfying. 2. The ending of the side characters is unsatisfying, they get mudered by Alex, which should be the good shang, and then sudenly you realise: shang didn't really have an impact on this world anymore, godamit just make them slowly be forgotten in the small eterneity it takes for shang to explore a way to escape the chaos, and even so it sucks that shang fails the promise to the lighting emperor. 3. Suddenly this story is connected to another. I didn't read LitOW, the people that read seemed to like the epilogue, but i hated it, sudenly the universe takes a diferent scale, a guy sudenly comes, frees Alex of his eternal curse, says he took care of millions of gods before and instead of the ending of a novel we have a season 1 finale lol. It could have done both, introduced the world into LitOW cosmos with that immortal without ruining the ending, give alex a hopeful future without ruining this novel, also take away the part where he talks about treating millions of other gods & immortals and say that there are more gods & immortals out there. 4. This frase "The most common problem is setting power as your goal instead of as a means to an end." beautifully misses the point of shang, first of all the common way to say this frase is power without a goal, who ever sets power as a goal? It may be to be the strongest, for freedom, for protection, etc, losing their goal is one thing, but power for the goal of power is very unique of shang and he's clear of his goal, he will become the most powerful, live for a while to see if something more powerful can come and then probably commit die, this comment was so... meta it took away my immersion and threw it in the bin. These are my grievances with your story, author, i am sadened by the ending but still excited for what is to come, maybe i'll read LitOW but probably will wait for your next novel, take care.

The beginning of the story is the stage of the true magician, the life span is 1000 years, then it became 500 years, and after one chapter it became 250 years. When you set rules for the world, you must not change them in every chapter.

Five stars because I like my story. Welcome to my second novel! I already wrote and (nearly, depending on when you read this) finished my first novel Lightning Is the only Way at over 1300 chapters. There have been some mistakes in my first novel since it was, well, my first novel. This one is my second novel, and I rectified those mistakes. When I write, I mainly focus on emotions. It doesn't matter which one, power, loss, depression, happiness, whatever. I believe novels have to evoke emotions in the reader, and that's what I focus on. You can give me whatever feedback you want, as long as it's actual feedback. Have fun reading!
