So I finished this novel over a year ago at this point. I must say it wasn't the best like the stories i've read after like LOTM or Reverend Insanity but this has novel has a special place in my heart. It was the novel that got me into reading and now I have been doing it nonstop since. Might not be the best out there as well as being incomplete due to the author being dead *I have no clue if this is true but its what i've heard* but I do recommend if anyone comes across it. Enjoy your time.
So. You want a classical adventure, the likes of Hogwarts and the Lord of the Rings? You've come to the right place then. No seriously, you have.
MC is the good guy yet.... I can see him teetering on the edge between... he might be the villain for the right reasons.
Magic? Check that off the list. He has raw power, no control. He's also deceiving. He's the young-slightly-buff-dude that you can't help to scoff and ask, how is he a mage?
Wizened Grandpa figure? Check. In this case, not so wizened, more like 40 years old-still-able-to-knock-ladies-AND-men-down-with- a- wink. (That was long.)
The MC runs into a bunch of trouble near the ending of the first arc, novice against masters and grandmaster, that sort of thing.
Overall. It's a good read. There much more I could tell you... but that just ruins the fun of unraveling the plot that is Paragon of Destruction. So add it the library and join me for the wild, magical ride.
P.S: No harem. Not unless you count the gaggles of old men MC meets.... fine. Maybe a twincy wincy, old man harem. Only one romance lead.
This is a hidden gem. Finally i found another one of these few stories with a proper english sentence structure and properly used grammar!
At the beginning this novel feels like a western fantasy story, where the mc just comes into his power. But this feeling shifts; the novel gets more into the eastern fantasy theme with body cultivation.
Overall it‘s a very good novel: Nice magic and cultivation system, Proper English grammar, nice pacing. Thank you for this great novel.
Writing Quality:
I love the authors breadth of vocabulary and effective sentence structure. The writing is clean and organized, making for an easy and enjoyable read.
Stability of Updates:
12 chapters have come out so far, with basically 1 chapter a day. So far stability is 5 stars.
Story Development:
The story has a nice pace. The intense parts are quick, not drawn out like many novels on here. The relaxing parts are relaxed. Overall the pace is a little quicker than most, but I don't mind that.
Character Design:
5 stars because it is just starting, and for 12 chapters the author does a good job of not revealing too much too quickly. There are your stereotypical characters: the ignorant, hard working main character. the mysterious and potentially dangers master/teacher. the hermetic, but kind and generous friend of the master/teacher. None of which are bad things. The story still has lots of room to develop and expand upon those basic character types.
World Background:
At 12 chapters there isn't a whole lot, which is to the authors credit. I like that the background is developed as the MC learns it. Being a kid from east jesus nowhere it makes sense that the kid is ignorant of the world.
Writing Quality = Good
Stability Updare = Really Good
But as for the rest.. Bad...
Paragon of destruction = Paragon of average
First point, MC doesn't seem to be logical at all, he threw golden opportunity to train just because he want to find a shortcut (that doesnt exist) or can't handle the training.
Second point, MC does stupid logical decision even if the best answer/solution is slapped at his face, he goes full retard because of plot (?)
Third point, the MC is AVERAGE, he doesnt have any talent whatsoever; what he has is the forbidden real, that from what is shown is not even that 'legendary', an example of a (my imaginary) scale:
Common - Rare - Rare+ - Epic - Legendary
The forbidden realm is only at Rare, or at max between Rare and Rare+
But the worst point is that 'this advantage' that he has on the forbidden realm IS USELESS; he has a forbidden realm that is only mentioned at the start of the novel and during chapter 50 from what I understood, and nothing. We know nothing about the forbidden realm, what it is exactly, what type it is, NOTHING, he doesn even use it; and we are already 100+ chapters in.
The characters. Ah yes, the characters. It frustrates me to no end that we have such a dumb MC. Every. Single, Fucking. Time. He always chooses the worse option. Always does something unnecessary. Always. That’s why I’m dropping this novel. Though the writing itself is good.
