This is the author here.
I suck at reviews so I just tend to write my thoughts. These are my thoughts going into writing the story.
I’ll drop ‘reviews’ like this after different milestones.

Idea: An Assassin, without any magical ability assassinating mana-empowered humans and beasts mostly with intelligent attacks and/or simply cool methods. Who said ordinary humans can’t kill super-humans?
The story should be told completely from the Assassin’s perspective.
Premise: The Strongest soldier (Self-proclaimed) in one world is killed and reincarnates into a parallel world where he becomes the Apex assassin (Self-proclaimed).
Setting: A blend of 21st Century Cities with 19th century (Victorian era) societal elements on a backdrop of never-ending war between mana-enhanced humans and beasts.
POV: The Story is styled as an extract from the Main Character’s memoir so it is completely in the MC’s Point of view and based on his personal bias.
P.S: A sweet old grandma could very well be presented as a villainous old woman who constantly disturbs the MC’s life. (Just an example. Doesn’t really happen... I think.)
M.C: Due to the experiences of his first life and the circumstances of his death, the MC will come off as cynical and methodical. He is very thorough in the planning and execution of his assassination and leaves nothing to chance when he works.
P.S: The MC claims not to have any abilities in one breath, yet on the other hand, claims to have been blessed by Loki. Makes you wonder, isn’t the blessing in itself an ability
A well thought out book. I haven’t read his previous series, but this book is pretty good.
A strong main character whose only purpose is self preservation. I don’t know what the side characters are going to be like, but I do far enjoy Leo’s journey
I read the author’s previous book, soldiers of time and really liked it so I decided to give this one a shot as well. So far I like the MC and his thought process on things like how to grow stronger and over all mentally. So far the side characters haven’t been as developed as his other book but these are only the first chapters. He hasn’t really interacted with his assassination organization where I assume most are of the interesting side characters will be. The MC starts of weak but gets strong enough to where even though he has a disadvantage his wits are enough to get him to the finish line and I like that his wins feel earned. So for it’s been good and I’m looking forward to more!
