A beautiful, emotional, nerve-wracking story that I finally finished reading. I always struggled to find a good book here on Webnovel as I read books that are either lacking of substance and/or emotion, or contains very disturbing plotholes and unsatisfiable story developments. And to find that this is a hidden gem on this site! This story, as the name and the description implies, a story of a boy who happens to be both worldly and otherworldly, accompanied by an ensemble of supporting characters that shape along with the character (save from the few, see below why), across different worlds and plotlines. Here, the story features easy understanding of every single detail. This novel has gone thru some hard times during the pandemic. The author of this book, Romeru, shared some details into how he created the said novel, as well as circumstances around his life in quarantine (namely the time he had to pause uploading of new chapters and his personal life (eg. having to sell a motorcycle for living costs), among others). He created this novel with love, passion, and perseverance through these hard times, and that is exemplified in the chapters of the main character's suffering early on in the novel. The novel leaves something for the author to work on, and judging by the comments in the last chapter, the demand is there. Some of these include major side characters in the other worlds as the protagonist moves from one world to another (called dungeon in the novel), as well as some mysteries and unexplained loose threads in the plot. The author also makes some grammatical and reference mistakes from time to time, but it doesn't affect the quality of the storytelling in the novel. Overall, this book is for those who love a story, one that is not hinged on expectations and imitations, one that is just truly remarkable, one that highlights a budding passion of an author thru such hardwork, was paid off by a group of passionate and great readers, who stood by him, and of the boy and the book. **. This book hits different if you're a Filipino, as both me and Romeru are. ;)
