I think that unless you read blood warlock for yourself you will not appreciate the sheer amount of thought care and love put into this story.I have read to the latest chapter at the time of writing this : chapter 1295.The writing is absolutely gripping to the maxim extent, far more than any other LN/WN that I have read.To watch bz grow and the characters around him continuously evolve with new twists around each corner is spectacular.Each plot device seamlessly flows into one another and it’s honestly quite surprising how much effort and strategy xie puts into the novel. It’s crazy to think BW is still in its development phase, it will be a long time before the final climax however each new arc has much higher yet realistic baselines and standards, the writing is done in a way that each progression bz makes feels like it’s been earned by both bz and the readers (by supporting where possible of course).My only gripe is occasionally updates are inconsistent but what novel isn’t like that…. Also we need some mass releases I beg. If you read BW it’s an investment both in money and time but if your looking for high quality content then I suggest you look no further.
This is my favorite story from what’s available now. MC is very unlucky and cannot live longer than a few months whenever he tries simulating a cultivation life. You have to live to 5 years old before you start getting benefits from the system. He has a very talented cultivator in town to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday when he gets the option to have others go into the simulation in his stead. He figures he’ll have her go in and see if she can do what he can’t. She lives to the 5 year mark on her first try, after being tricked into it. MC gets to chose 1 of 3 rewards that she earns for living to certain milestones. She then gets 1 random reward that isn’t as good as the MC’s but is very beneficial to her cultivation. One MC gets to a certain level of strength he gets the opportunity to send more people into it and get to chose from a second set of rewards. That’s where the 40 chapters ends, with him getting to have 2 people in the simulator at once. Definitely worth the read and votes!
This novel seems a face slapping novel with a few killings if needed. The mc tries to act as elegant and cool as much as possible, leaving those who have tried to kill him alone while trying to act cool slapping their faces and only will he try to kill someone if the plot requires it. Although the mc is ruthless and dominating, unfortunately, he's literally the type of a carefree old monster who doesn't end all troubles immediately but instead will let the troubles come to him. He wasn't the typical ruthless mc like from 'The Man in Hell' which would start a massacre. So, his ruthlessness is okay but not enough to be called brutal to cruelty like the mc in 'The Man in Hell'.Overall, the novel is good especially if there's smut in this in the future. What I only don't like is that there's absolutely little to none killings in 60 chapters. What died is just a random character like servants which is truly ridiculous in the 60 chapters. So I believe this novel will have thousands of chapters due to how slow the story is.
Hello everyone:I thought it might be around time for me to do a new review of my story as it has developed far more and become so much more than I ever originally thought/imagined. (Especially being constantly in the top 100-150 was not something I ever imagined)Let's start with a, not sure what to call it. You will realize that my first few chapters have quite a few cliches or tropes. I will admit I relied on them to get started, slowly I moved away and now I harshly look at cliches and will really debate if I wish to add any or not.If I do decide to do so, I will always attempt to do it in a way that will fit naturally in the world and story.On that topic, this story is not a quick one diving into a plot and having the main character have a strong goal right from the start. Eldrian is just a person who was interested in this new type of game, and naturally he is our MC because he has some natural unknown talents.(You wouldn't want to follow an average joe, or would you?)He is not OP, he is not weak. Rather, he is. He grows with time and he learns with time. He forgets often and he does stupid and brilliant things almost at the same time. He is human, and I do my best to reflect that he is.I do my best to reflect this with all my characters, even the non-humans.Next, the story idea. It started as a more realistic game world, and become an 'alternate' world instead. It is most certainly still a game story and the world is indeed virtual and a game, but I do not focus on game elements. They are there, there are stats, there are weapons, spells, and item descriptions.In the heat of combat, they are not brought onto the page. However, I do not neglect them.I always run my spreadsheets and do calculations to determine what effects what spell/attack will have. The stats are important, but I feel pushing them into a fight is distracting. So I almost never do, barring a few unique enemies who do not possess normal vitals.This brings me to my magic system, I get that many feel it is similar to Mages are too OP. However, I started my story before reading that one, and I was at around chapter 30 when MTOP(?) reached chapter 100; when I started reading it.I won't mention it more than this, but I want to make it clear that while it might feel(read) the same, mine is nowhere close. You should realize this after (not sure) chapter 50 maybe, chapter 100 for sure.Magic is hard, and it stays that way constantly. It is a constant pursuit of new and difficult knowledge and skills. Nothing comes easy, everything takes time and effort.On that note, much of my writing dives into these topics in detail. I do not glance at details, but I also do my best to never repeat details. One spell might take one, two, maybe even three or more chapters to learn, but the next spell won't take more than a paragraph unless it is very different.With this said, I also want to mention that the IRL world is constantly intertwined with the story. It is not forgotten, and it is part of the lore and background. After all, ANW was created with a very specific aim, and that aim is one a company in the real world has.Next, a few things I see are often asked/questioned.Romance: Some, but not really. I have introduced a romance early on, but I never really developed it as I am a stranger to the topic of romance.(NTR, Harem): No on bothRewriting earlier chapters: I simply do not have the time nor will that really work, I have however gone through and fixed the obvious spelling and grammar mistakes.Pacing: It is slow, I won't lie. As I said earlier, I go into details and things are constantly happening. There is almost no time skips. By chapter 500 only 6 months have passed, Eldrian is around level 30 (won't give precise level) and Tier 4.However, levels do work differently in this game compared to normal worlds. The death penalty you will also find is really harsh, and my story is not one where the MC somehow never dies. (never made much sense to me, especially since dying in a game is normal for everyone)-------Side note: I dive deeply into topics such as the emotional impact of events, philosophy, and realism. My aim with my magic system is and has always been to bridge reality and fantasy in a 'fantastical' way.You will come to find with time the approach I took for this, I hope you come to love it as I do. If not, I understand.-------I think this is a long enough overview (almost a chapter's length), hopefully, it can help people decide if they want to give it a try or not.
I love reading this novel. As an online player of 16years, I too love gaming! This novel really a great find for gamers like me. I wish there's more free ads to watch so I can save some spirit stones. It's so expensive just to read, and I just bought another ss just to read the new updates since I spend a lot already because I have tons of novels in my library that I'm reading as well...
Hmph, it's not like this book or anything, b-baka! *Autochains into a sick 42-hit combo*The characters are a delight to read and their relationship dynamic is quite frankly, hilarious.10/10 looking forward to more.
