Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner in the Apocalypse

Hello everyone!

I hope you may give Blood Warlock a chance, as you will undoubtedly like it, I can vouch for that!
Those who already knows me from my other novel know that everything I write has a deep meaning in it, so I can assure 0 plot holes.

Without more to say, let's enjoy this story together!

This one is a masterpiece.

I'm confident that this is one of the best apocalypse novel on WN.

Descriptive and has a smooth progression at the same time. MC is op but still has his own struggles. The story keeps you on edge and there is a hint of mystery and foreshadowing sometimes. Characters with personalities (Lilith:3)

The abilities and skills can evolve and it's really interesting to read. This novel has a serious chance to win WSA in my opinion. Update speed needs to be upped 2chs/day;)

I rarely write reviews, which already proves that a story worth writing one left a big impression (positive or negative). At this point I read 701 chapters and I don't regret a second of it.

Writing quality: A comparrison to the Webnovel standard would just be wrong. In 700 chapters there are barely any gramatical or spelling errors.

Updating Stability: 2 daily updates each with at least 2000 words and great quality. In the 2-3 Months since I caught up not a single update was missed. Bonus chapters are rare, which considering the already insane sceddule is not an issue.

Character design: The characters are neither the most unique nor generic. What realy makes them great to me is their development and growth. Each main character gets enough spotlight and even sidecharacters are rarely forgotten. The development is rather slow without stagnating, making it natural and considering the slow pacing of the novel in general (not even 4 months after 700 chapters), this totaly makes sence. Another thing I like a lot is that the plotarmor is not too obvious/extreme, nor are the characters stupid for the sake of plot.

Story development: As said before, the pacing is realy slow, which I personaly love. While MC becomes one of the strongest realy fast, the story manages to still be balanced and present good chalenges, without feeling forced.

World background: A clear defined powersystem, a fantasticaly described world and a intriguing history, which gives room to theorize. All of that without logical errors.

The system: Every living being has acces to the system, which is designed to help them, reach a better evolutionary stage. There are few elements to the system, which apear to be based on luck (i.e. loot orbs or skill scroles). Those are minor and not as luckdependent as they apear in the beginning.

The community: I have yet to find another community as active and interactive as this one on webnovel, and by now I look foreward not only to the chapters, but the commentsection as well.

Overall 6/5 easily the best webnovel I found so far and even my second Favorit book/novel/mange etc. in general.

I hope you give it a try to this.
     If your looking for a apocalyptic fantasy with out cliches, then you luck out finding this Novel! Literally you could find a winning lottery ticket in the floor right now before finding a better apocalyptic story than this.
     Personally, I'm kind of tired from isekais with lazy writing just putting every stuff every other story has already used, but this? takes it to another Level;  With not just the protagonist being really alive, taking dacisions that you love and some that even if you don't like but totally understand why the mc would do think or do that!
     The writing of the story is god-like making all the scenarios and characters really vivid and easy to remember, and don't even think of the explication of how the world got in such a mess! So Epic!
     if you have read to this point, and still not sure to read it, i just sincerely hope you give this Novel a try. It will not take you even 4 chapters to love this story from top to bottom like it did to me.

Basically, the main character is flawless.  He never loses, never makes mistakes, he has the most beautiful woman in the universe following him for who knows the reason, he is the only one capable of making women fall in love with him.  It's all a bit hidden by his personality, but it's deep down there. Btw a personality that he acquired with some skill because the author was too lazy to develop and simply created a skill for all the abrupt change.
It's good enough to read when you have nothing to do, but that's it. Nothing new.

The storytelling is very amateurish, there's some blatant fan service and casual sexism, but at least the MC is smart and the system mechanics are interesting.

Reading up to chapter 36, I find the MC's rational decision making very refreshing. The game mechanic (where leveling up with soul energy sometimes rewards you with an item instead if there's excess) is creative in its own way.

However the storytelling itself is amateurish. Small fights that we know the MC or another character will win are described instead of cut, allowing the plot to progress faster. There's also a lot of repetitive descriptions of characters that should also be cut.

Tropes: Ice queen tsundere, a lot of hot blooded men, and OP dark lord MC himself. No arrogant young masters (yet).

Also, Lilith could totally be cut out of the beginning. She's only there for comedic relief, fanservice, and to inform the MC of "things he would figure out eventually."

Lastly, there is definitely some casual sexism, culture shocks, that people might not like.

This review is at about 375 chapters in, and I will say that this is by far the best apocalypse novel on the site, if not the best novel in general. I am a pretty picky reader, but this novel is honestly among the best in practically all aspects.

The writing is top quality and only gets better as the story progresses.

The stability of updates is fantastic, and if the author does miss a chapter, he usually gives an additional chapter the next day or some time during the week to make up for it.

As some people stated, the story development is a slow burn at first, but it establishes a fascinating world, the power system, and a good foundation.

Now, the character design, which in my opinion, is the best part of this novel. The characters all have rich personalities of their own, their own ambitions and goals, and their interactions are becoming my favorite aspect of this novel.

For the world background, without going into too much to avoid spoilers, for their world, there has been a lot of focus on their starting area and its development. Still, there has been the development of what awaits them later, and with a few recent things added, there will surely be many exciting things to come in the future.

I kept it relatively short, but I suggest giving this novel a try, and you will most definitely enjoy it.

Currently reviewing at 500 chapters in.

I am beyond happy that such novel exists in my life. I’ve read a lot different types of fiction stories and what I believe that separates good from bad, is the quality at which the author describes the story they are trying to convey.

Right from the beginning you feel like you are the charcter, you feel like you are immersed on earth where an apocalypse begins.

The way the author explains the history of the characters, their goals and most importantly, their thought process is immaculate. The way you can compare the strength of characters to the real world (physics standpoint), the way you can close your eyes and imagine the scenery around the characters, the way you can sympathize with the actions, motives and decisions the characters make is just unreal.

I could ramble on about how amazing this novel is, how I wish it was complete, is a waste of your time. You should be reading this book!

Of course this is just personal opinion but regardless I hope you give it a try! :)

Im not sure why this gets such a high rating. Its perfectly fine to read, dont get me wrong, but I think a 5 is overboard. At least for the first 100 chapters.
progression system is nice. fast paced but not lightning.
powers are cool and while not entirely unique, are like a 4/5 which is great.
Plenty of fighting and mc is very strong.
Side characters are replaceable and have no function other than slightly useful damaging units.
overarching plot to save the family is out of sight, out of mind.
Conflict pops up but often have no emotional impact towards the main character.
Definitely not bad overall though

The rise of a psychopath murderhobo MC in the apocalypse. Classic Xianxia tropes with "indifferent" and "cold" every other sentence. The worst thing is how the author wants to explain the MC actions as some righteous bulls**t instead of just admitting he is a usual chinese psychopath tyrant mc.

Sigh...200-300 chapters in reading this book.

Now, I understand the 5* ratings, I really do. Out of all of the books on the website this novel actually deserves the rating it gets. But for me personally, I´ve been on this website for around 2 years. I´ve read so many books that most of them seem the same to me.

Sadly, this book is no exception. Because, if you really think about it, all of the popular books on this website all revolve around the premise of an OP MC, a system, basically just nothing unique.

Now, the world building, world background and everything is great, but I just can´t enjoy how the story is written, which is the important part of my review.

The few books I´ve enjoyed - Age of Adepts, Devil´s Cage, Versatile Mage, Cosmic Professional Gladiator, Soul of Negary

All of these not only had an overpowered MC, but a well written story. Now, you might say ¨But this story has a really well written MC too!¨

But the thing is, in the books I listed, whether it was the author, the writing style, whatever - those caused the development of the story to be far better than this one.

Now, I´m not saying the book is bad, I´m just a little tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. To new readers, this book would be a great read and even to some experienced readers this book would still be a great read. But it´s different for me.

As always, take my review with a grain of salt. Everyone has their own opinions, me included.

If you managed to read the whole thing, kudos to you :)
Have a good day and thank you for reading.

Story is good, i admit and I am still very interested in it but in later chapters, the story is getting stretched, even more then chewing gum, in best novels i read the MC and his/her team already rescued there family and already started building there fortress, made alliance, and here he is still on searching resources. Please change that.
