    I am the author of this novel, so of course I am biased to myself.

    Welcome to my book!

    I thank everyone for reading my work, even if you don't like it.

    I have read a LOT of webnovels, many of them translated from chinese. I have seen a lot of commonly used tropes, and as a change of pace, I wanted to create something different.

    There will be nearly no "Young Masters". Only a very select few. (The absence of at least one idiot is just as bad as overfilling)

    There will be no "I must save (the Honor of) my Family!"

    There will be no "Heaven sent lucky chances". Heaven controls luck, and Heaven does not like the MC, at all.

    I also want to show a real change in Gravis' personality as time goes by. He won't always be a wimp. He won't always be a cold-hearted killing machine. Just as emotions change, people change with them.

    This is a lot to live up to, but I'll do my best.

    Updates will be 2 chapters per day.

    I have a backlog, so updates will be constant.

    Thank you all for reading!

    This is crazy good for an Original Work!!! I have only read a few chapters so far. Normally I would never leave a review after just a few chapters unless the author was really bad. But this one is so GREAT at writing and the logic behind his world and world building is fantastic! This LN actually has the "heavens" of the cultivation universe/world show an intelligence or capacity to think and that it is actively continuously working against cultivators growing stronger (or also called going against the heavens). Very great start to this LN and I really can't wait to read more and get an in-depth immersion into this LN's world :-)

    my first impression of the story and that it lacks experience and care in its development, but that the author has a lot of reading baggage (I recommend reading some Korean novels, they have many good works on this escalation from the lower world to the upper), he it avoids errors that I am tired of reading. it is worth following at least until his rise to the intermediary world and see if the errors that bothers me in the work will change.Writing Quality: ok, very decent you are well located and you know what is happening, just stop repeating information that we already know (he has experience you don't need to repeat it so many times he has a stronger body we already understand that too)Stability of Updates: I don’t know, I started reading yesterday (and I’m finished (chap 96)) But I think 2 a day and very good stories need more thought which is one of the problems of this workStory Development: it has its problems, like out of hours or very sudden team skips but its ok, the problem comes in the gain and development of the intention to kill that could be more worked and more challenging because it just comes out of nowhere, it fights and it improvement he suffers and it improves happens very fast without a real challenge for something that should only grow with a life or death challenge, the fights with demonic beasts in the beginning of the story only occurred because he is absolutely sure that he will not die not only because he has experience (at least it seemed like this for me) the animals are treated as if they were stupid / arrogant (or as you call them "inexperienced") which is not a characteristic of animals but of humans (cats have fought once in their lives try to get close to a cat that you don't know or dog, there are those that will accept the approach but in the majority they will have some reaction or alert or withdrawal they will not just ignore you).

    Reading through this novel all I can say it has been a wild ride. While reading this I have laughed, I have cried, I have felt angry and happy, this novel is phenomenal. It had the perfect ending, and the story makes the reader experience a myriad of emotions. This is by far the best novel I have ever read. I haven't genuinely cried in years but chapter 1300+ hit me hard. You sir made a great novel. Please continue writing and make more stories like this.

    Anyone knows other novels with the same (or better) quality than the Warmaisach novels? Kinda feel lost now that i've read Lightning is the Only Way and Sword God in a World of Magic (waiting for more chapters of Kill the Sun to start reading it)

    LITOW definitely deserves it's rank, it's better than SGWM.
    .
    The cringe part might be the romance near the end of the novel but that's it. It's not even cringe actually, some ppl just can't stand Romance.
    .
    The MC is a bit of a hypocrite on a certain arc, but that also changes once some serious issues are resolved.
    .
    Other than that, you should totally read LITOW.
    .
    Btw, between the author's 3 novels, you could say that Gravis is the only true Main Character, it's literally like Klein in LOTM, they're from a different novel, still in the same world, but there's only 1 actual MC.
