Villains roam the world without any retribution. Demonic sects wage war against the Orthodox and emerge victorious. Neutral tribes stand by and do not help the worthy – they only look to profit from others’ misfortune. Meanwhile, fresh dangers brew beneath the turbulent waves...
Might is right in the world of cultivators, and evil often goes unchecked.


Isaac Dahl is born in the barren and chaotic lands of Northern Tundra. He shows promise, yet his sect holds no hope for him.
‘He might be an intelligent child, but his talent is mediocre. Bah... what can he amount to?’

Without resources or help; without kindness nor assistance from others, there is only oneself. Human relationships? Love? Kinship? I only see benefits, as others are unreliable. I can only believe in myself. This is the truth that Isaac realises. This is the truth that his sect – which proclaims itself as a Blood Path Sect – fails to notice. They are naïve.

His heart is cold and his gaze is determined, but Isaac’s path forwards will not be an easy one. It will be filled with obstacles, danger and disaster. Will Isaac clamber over the bodies of those who stand in his way? Or will they drag him down with them?

    First of all, the idea of Anima is inspired by Gu from Reverend Insanity but I've put my own twist on it. Hopefully it's at least a little bit original and you like it.

    Outside of that, I think the book is quite unique, especially in terms of how the world is and what the main character is like. However, I won't say too much other than that the MC is pure evil.


    Best parts of the novel:

    Characters - The main characters all have depth and personality, but it's not just them. Every character has at least some thought behind them, even throwaway characters. That means you won't get scenes where side characters act stupidly for no reason.

    Quality of writing (I am English, I speak great English, don't expect spelling errors or anything)

    World building - I've put a lot of effort into creating the continents, thinking about what species live there, what environments there will be and all that good stuff. I'm especially proud of the more that will start to be revealed as the novel goes on.


    Bad bits:

    Dialogue - Some conversations may seem a little clunky or stiff. This is the main area of my writing that I'm trying to improve, so hopefully dialogue will become more natural and free-flowing as the novel progresses.

    Slow(ish) development - The novel isn't a slow starter at all, it begins with 3 high action trials and there are lots of fight scenes after that as well. What I mean is that characters and places will not be developed right away. I will take time with these things and you won't get huge lumps of backstory or information about people, places or things.

    Changes in writing style - I have written other things before, but this is my first full-length novel, so my writing style will change and develop as the novel progresses.


    P.S. I would really appreciate comments about which parts of the novel you enjoyed and which bits could be better. These kinds of comments will help me become a better writer, which will in turn make this a better novel. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the book!

    What is evil?!?  What is good?!?  These are just childish words and naive beliefs, there is no good and evil there are only benefits, the strong is the law doing what he wants, simply without drama.  I wish I could see the real human beast break the shackles and unleash it.  Devour the world and kill whoever gets in the way or kill to increase your strength, there is no such thing as the innocent and the bad, in front of the strong all are insects.  Haha I have high expectations for you

    رواية جيدة للغاية خاصة الشرح للقارة و طبيعتها و مكوناتها و طرق القتال و البطل الي ما يعجبه يروح لاقرب جدار و يدخل رأسه فيه، و الي عجبني اكثر  
    الغو او الانيما فيها تنوع و أساليب كثير و استعملاتها مثلاً غو الحركة قدم الثلج(اذا اتذكر اسمها صح) التي لدى البطل ما يقدر يستعملها الا في الثلج  لو راح لقارة ثانية بتكون هذه الانيما  و مثلا لو راح قالرة ثانية بينعدم فائدتها و شعبيتها لانه القارات الثانية ليست مثل القارة التي فيها البطل تكون دائمة مثلجة ننتظر انيما مثل هذه حيث تعتمد على عوامل من أجل استخدمها على أفضل وجه و نترقب اكثر كيفية انشائها و الانيما الي بيصنعها البطل في النهاية انصحكم فيها

    A wonderful novel, especially the character of the hero and his intelligence, so far I have been amazed by his plans to increase his resources. The current problem is the amount of information that is useless, because it is more than the events of about 50 chapters, and I still do not see exciting events. This is because of the author's focus on quantity rather than quality, I hope you pay attention to this point,  Reduce the amount of information and increase events and actions instead of ideas. I have high expectations for this novel and it does not change the character of the hero.  Good luck
