My Sunday Delight (Hiatus)

I am enjoying this book so far. The story is a slow burn but enough to keep you interested. The character interaction is also engaging. I look forward to future development of the story and also updates on some of the characters. I beg you, author, pleeeeeeeease don’t drop this book. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

The book is great, looking forward to how he is going to use those runes, they seem way too great to be true. Love it. ......................

Before we get to the main part of my review, here’s the cliff notes:You should definitely read this story, it’s so good! The characters are dynamic and lovable. The world is well thought out and developed. The action is balanced out nicely with some lightheartedness and the system isn’t overbearing. (The story can also be strangely educational at times) There, now for the heart of the review. The characters are dynamic and a lot of fun to read about. While Rex doesn’t really have much of a friend group to begin with it’s quick to develop and it’s fun watching the people around him slowly being drawn in. Whether that be as friends, friendly and not so friendly rivals, or enemies. I appreciate the range of characters. It’s not just the main character, the best friend, and the love interest. The side characters aren’t forgotten about either and we get interactions with them as well. They each have personality and I can’t help but look forward to seeing more in the future. The world itself is well developed and unique. Well, as unique as any story taking place in the modern world, but with magic and monsters. Not to down grade this in any way. You don’t find a lot of stories that take a more military approach to these things. The author has done a good job at fleshing out the dynamics of a military base and how that would operate in a world with super powered people. From who would join, how they would recruit people to even the funding and political powers. These are all presented in an easy to digest manner, naturally given to the reader without an overbearing info dump. This novel also has a good balance between action and drama. I caught myself laughing at the end of ch 47 from the sudden switch from military espionage to school drama. It was a smooth switch and felt appropriate for the moment, but still had me laughing. Every author has a different way to balance these things, different ratios between the different aspects of a story, and a lot of it just comes down to personal preference. In my opinion this story has a great balance. We have a slightly heavier focus on the training and action, but the social aspect isn’t overlooked and it definitely isn’t inconsequential either.Finally I’ll go over the system. As someone who has been burnt out on the system troupe, I find this to be one of the better ones. Often times systems are repetitive and predictable, a lazy man’s way to move a story forward. Rex on the other hand, has actual interactions with people that promote the story. His growth and the information he gathers mainly come from his actions and interactions with the people around him, not from a system. The system itself seems to be used more as a guide, a basic system function without extra bells and whistles. Rex’s abilities don’t seem to be tied to the system either. While they are earned through leveling up and the like, it’s not like he has to use the system to use his abilities, they are a part of him. The system simply displays and explains it doesn’t enable. He’s not running around calling out his special move or looking at a shop purchasing abilities. I appreciate this approach to a system, it’s not heavy handed. It adds to the story and doesn’t take anything away. Of course I’ll always be a little bit apprehensive, but so far so good. A quick side note is the type of system, the Werepanther System. Being a werepanther isn’t strictly flavor for the story. There are actual changes Rex experiences that aren’t just for show. With his strength there is weakness. A promise of potential consequences and I look forward to seeing more. Over all the story is good! Definitely give it a read. I don’t go around writing reviews just for fun 😉

The only downside was up until chapter 75 is, does Ethan really need 200 Ascendants?Since he himself had reached the Middle Star Apprentice, those below than him should not be recruited. However, I like everything about this story so far. The faceslapping moment was once only and he had reflected on it which I find it making sense after all.Good series and I really hope it will not end prematurely. Haha!

Slap!
