Hey guys, Author here. I just wanted to leave a few words regarding this story of mine:
First and foremost, the book is inspired by The Beginning After the End by Turtleme. This beginning of this story mirrors TBATE, and if you've read the work, then you'll immediately recognize the plots and situations. Both stories obviously diverge later on, but you can expect the first few dozen chapters to be extremely similar.
I'm also trying to improve my writing with this book. I'd say I did a decent job at checking for mistakes, but if you happen to find any, or just happen to read a sentence that doesn't sound right, just let me know. I always try and correct mistakes I missed.
Pacing is also something I struggle with, so any tips on how to go about adjusting and setting the speed of events would be much appreciated.
Here are also some questions I've gotten:
Is this story a harem?
- No.
Is there R-18 content?
- No.
Is the story perfect?
- Fuck no.
Obviously, the last one isn't a question I've gotten, but please don't start reading this story expecting some modern masterpiece. I'm just a simple author who's trying to write their very first novel.
That's all I've got for now. I really do hope you enjoy my story if you decide to try it out. If you have any questions, just ask away or ask me on discord. (Link will be in the synopsis of the story)
Well, I honestly think that this story has a lot of potential. It kinda reminds me of beggining after the end with a bit of differences here and there. Anyways, Goodluck author, keep it up!
When i saw the cover ,I honestly thought this will be a cheaper version of The beginning after the end. But damn was i wrong. Although it is very similar to it at the beginning, it starts to become completely different after the adventurer years arc.
Firstly, I liked to say that I am a TBATE fan, and when I first saw this, like many other tbate fans, it had me a bit off guard. I've knew for a long time that some other fans like to write fan-fics, or other "novels" that's heavily similar to or even the same as TBATE. I first debated if I should read this since I thought that the story would just be similar and all that stuff, but thankfully, I gave it a chance.
Now I like to move onto the ratings:
Writing Quality- I really love the writing quality of this novel, like some other review, grammar has nothing on Kenkan. The writing is a part of why I love this novel so much now, things are being explained very well in his writing.
Stability of Updates- Kenkan updates at least once everyday, and if he doesn't he will update us readers/audience of why he couldn't update as much. I really encourage the readers to read his author notes because it gives us a lot of important info. This section of my rating is another part of how I am sticking to this novel so far.
Story Development- The story development if very good IMO. The pace is going pretty well, but sometimes it can get a bit faster then normal and I think thats okay. Like I said in my "Stability of Updates" section, Ken does asks questions on how we want the story to be paced and how it is going to go. He is very considerate on our comments and puts our thoughts into whats going to happen in the next chap.
Character Design- This connects quite a lot to my "Writing Quality" section, his writing makes emotions flow out of the characters, sadness, happiness, regret, sorrow, excitement, e.t.c. I don't have much to say in this section but I'm satisfied on how the characters are so far.
World Background- Kenkan explains the world background pretty well, in some chapters he will explain things about the world and its system while in others, he just fixes his time onto the plot. IMO, he doesn't rush in detailing the world in the story, Ken doesn't put too little or too much information in his paragraphs.
Overall, I give this book a 5/5, for my taste I really do love (addicted) this novel
So, please for new readers (mostly for readers who also read TBATE) to give this book a chance even if the cover and title looks similar because the author did explain in one of his chapters that he will be changing some things about this book soon (including the cover and title), also check the paragraph comments since he also does answer reader questions in there.
The world is quite a broad term, the story is clear and there is no major flaws. Info dumps aren’t that noticeable and the way the characters talk is understandable and really natural. There’s a clear objective an the way it’s building up the story leads to good expectations. Overall the story is a magnificent piece, understandable, lighthearted and grim at the right times.
