Very rarely do I appreciate realistic fiction. this has been completely captivating with a rich plot development that reminds me of the magical "abandoned prince" movies, but in a modern mafia setting. the author grasps interpersonal relationships very well, and the pace develops with the exposition at just the right speed. now if he would just crank out a few hundred more chapters by tomorrow, I'd be happy!
Absolutely love it.Now we just need to see some revenge!
This novel has an ambitious scope for the world at large and manages to combine multiple facets of fiction into one behemoth. I look forward to reading more and seeing if the story develops as well as the author's prose has!
Here you go buddy!
You'll have to go a few chapters deeper to see that :)
Very immersive world building with some unique twists on a coming of age story. I like the book, don't let the slow first few chapters fool you. This author is setting in for the long haul.
Slice of Life isn't even my wheelhouse, but this is strangely compelling. I love it. Keep it up! The MC is incredibly relatable and I love the way you spin the drama into something simple yet believable. The dialogue feels very natural too.
Author's grasp on visceral combat is amazing. I hope to see more chapters! Great read for someone who wants a medieval warfare novel with magic interspersed!
Early on in the novel, but we can feel the emotions of the characters involved. Author seems to have potential, will be looking out for more updates.

This feels like the tomorrow wars on cocaine. I am totally engrossed, the chaos of the novel is beautiful and leads an air of mystery that is very difficult to emulate. I really hope this book goes the distance. I'm excited to hear about this world that is a disaster in every sense.
