Gambit of the Living Weapon

Now that the story has ended: REVIEW UPDATE!

Look, I'm a Gambit shill. I loved gambit when i first started reading it, and I loved gambit till the moment it ended.
This novel, is my personal definition of 'a good time!'
Really nice characters, cathartic character development, nice humour, and an author you'll love to hate (jk, inside joke).
The world isn't the most detailed, and the plot doesn't require a single brain cell to comprehend, buuuut i think thats part of what makes it so fun, so carefree, and also gives you the opportunity to just fall in love with the characters.
The novel is based entirely on the characters and how they'd react when thrown into different scenarios or how their relationships change with time and with events. Its like a typical found family story, but its just so fun that I love it. And it also just follows the rule of cool, and i love it.
If you're looking for charming characters and a fun time, read this.
If you're looking for something that'll make you wrack your brain, then well, this isn't it, but you should read it anyway.
Uhhh, here stop my incoherent rambles, uhhhh bye?



I'll miss this story.
And "Is that so?""Is that so." is one of the most fun catchphrases ever I'll die on this hill you devilled ben

I like how Daren is being more of a reasonable person than Marceus. I have qualms about using mockery as an encouragement. Marceus! You can encourage people without teasing and degrading their person! Poor Daren.

Evlin is such a savage! I can see why you have her as your favourite. Please give me more Lilith interactions!

I've read the entirety of the updates and some concepts still confuse me for some reason, like the origin of beasts and spirits, or did I just miss them? Also, the consistent change of characters in focus is quite distracting. I suggest that you dwell on a particular group for an extended window before moving on to the next.

The action scenes are quite abrupt, so it lessens the excitement. You do not need to use such complex words to relay an action; you just have to narrate to the readers what you're seeing in your mind as honestly as possible.

I don't think that your grammar is that bad. Although, I have noticed overuse, misuse, and absence of punctuations in several passages. Punctuations are like the backbone of grammar. It allows the writers the opportunity to have better transitions. It is our job as writers to study te very grammar aids in out story-telling, and we are always learning. In addition to this, instead of using just adjectives, can you elaborate more on your descriptions? The readers would like to see the vividness of your imagination! :D

I did not say anything out of spite. I hope that you take them as constructive.

I'll be cheering you one! Your story has a great setting and there will definitely be readers who will love this utterly.

This will forever remain one of my favourite stories. It's just so amazing. Have I read stories with better writing? Yep. Have I read stories with better world development and magic? Yep. Do those stories have the same character and personality and emotion and charm that this one has? Nope! Okay well maybe a couple but still! It's so engaging and so brilliant and I love it to bits. Thank you for this journey. Thank you for writing this. I'll keep following it and I don't think anything now can make me not love this any less than I do now.

After reading until chapter 150, I can safely say that this story is one of those glorious hidden gems that truly get way too little attention to how good they truly are.

So, first of all, is the writing quality. The writing is decent, it is not the greatest of grammar, but it makes you emersed, invested, and truly is comfortable on the eye.

The world background slowly improves, although, I have to warn you xianxia fansand the like, this story doesn't have the world-building you see in the 10,000+ chapters novels, but it does a pretty good job at it as the story progresses.

The characters are oh so amazing. Seriously, you'll come to love them a lot (even the villains) and you truly despise the author when you see bad things happening to them, which only shows how amazingly written the characters are.

The story development and plot are truly unpredictable. It's not generic in the slightest and has some plot twist, cliffhangers, and moments that truly leave you speechless. It is beautifully crafted and executed well to the point where you can binge read 60 chapters per day yet feel as if you've only been reading for 2 minutes.


Pssst, do you want to know something even more interesting? All those praises that I gave this story....are all for 1 volume out of 20 glorious volumes that each far surpass the other.

Go on and read this marvelous novel right now!

Hello, author of the book here! Please feel free to send your feedback on how you feel about the story overall and what you're liking or thinking needs a bit of work. Any feedback is appreciated!

Also, shameless 5 star rating ftw!

The novel is worth my time. Truly enjoyed the work.

The plotline is humorously designed pertaining to schemes, adventure, cool dynamics, actions and mysteries. The concept is exciting and gives you wonderful experience!

The characters are descriptively tailored with unique traits carrying individual importance.

The dialogues are humorously incorporated and further adds in flavour to the plotline. The world building is well progressing as well.

Nice work author!

The author is a very talented individual in the art of character design, able to generate long fluid conversations that seem to go on forever which many novels lack.

In my opinion, however, that is a flaw.
The conversations go on long enough that it starts to give me a headache. The author puts heavy emphasis into the conversations and does not balance it out with the world background.

The author does not seem as good with the world background.
For example, the prince's castle at the beginning is merely referred to as a "castle" with no additional details. I get a mental image when the term is mentioned, but I get a stale one which has no details.

Another example is when the MC is escaping along with her friend, yet most of the writing is down on their conversations rather than their surroundings. In reality, I doubt two people would have the energy to converse when they are fleeing for their life.

Other than that, the author does put in the details when it comes to fighting, so props to that. The writing quality is very good and the author does seem to have a direction he/she wants to go in.

A personal complaint would be the time skip at the beginning not long after the MC arrives into this world. I feel like a lot of potential was wasted in what could have been invested into character growth. It is like saying the MC survived a life or death situation at point A and then somehow got over it and became stronger in the future at point B.

This is merely my opinion however, so just take it as creative criticism. I have not even fully read the novel since I became overwhelmed by the long conversations which take up half of each chapter.

Not a lot to say really. My constant comments on this book will serve as part of my review, plus I don't want to spoil it for anyone else.

Just imagine a perfectly crafted story with amazing world building, fun characters, and a growing plot. Anyone would love it to bits and it only took me a day to read through Volume 1 of the book.

Honestly a fun read that I'll keep enjoying after this review.
