'Born In Ruins' was a novel that left little impression, a forgettable read.
That was the only way Emir could describe the story into which he had found himself reincarnated. The young man barely knew anything, but the fragments of memory he had only brought him endless sorrow...
For what awaited him was nothing but tragedy and an untimely death. It was a bleak tale, one that he planned to rewrite for his own salvation.
In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters battled humans and cyborgs in a survival struggle unlike any before. Here, innocence was a luxury, and the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin.
Within this vast expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions,' and 'Corporations' ruled over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously ventured into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable.
But it seemed that 'Earthkind' had met their match. However, Emir would never let that fate unfold.
Emir unraveled layers of the tale and came to understand the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. Now, no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate the very fabric of this unforgiving universe.
Rising from the pawn he once was, Emir aimed to unravel the mysteries that haunted him: the boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging over his family’s head, and, of course, his starless destiny—a fate he longed to control.
This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen."

Popular Reviews
This will be my last self-review for this novel as I can only afford to lightly spoil the first volume, the rest you must experience on your own.
The first volume has finally ended everyone, it's been a blast to edit and add many things to this version of my story, I believe I've written the best first volume I possibly could.
And although this is an 'Extra' novel, it isn't even close to how others with the same name are written, because while I enjoy this type of novel I wanted to write it differently, unlike the others where the weapon selection chapter is always 20 kek.
So expect a longer introduction to the world in the first two volumes and only then, when the MC establishes himself as someone proper in the story will the Academy arc truly begin.
The text below contains spoilers so only read this if you have doubts about reading this novel.
For now, I'll answer a few of the questions I've received so far.
The pros :
- The mc's backstory is unknown yet he is likeable and understandable on a certain level.
- The world is original.
- Some might like the rather slow pace .
- The mc's reaction to his reincarnation is really realistic .
- A promising plot slowly unravels .
- The author 's writing quality is above average( the style is not very eye-catching but it manages to keep you intrigued and there aren't many mistakes ( if any) ).
- I don't know the chapters' lenght , but i can tell it must be longer than your average 1000 words on webnovel.
The cons :
- The characters are bland.
The Mc is likeable yet somehow , he is uninteresting enough.
If i'm being honest , i simply don't care enough about him , even though i know him( i've read 23 chapters already).
I think this comes from two facts :
First , the Mc doesn't really have any flaw he should work on( egoism , dishonesty...).
Him being insecure makes me empathize with him but that's all. I do not feel really tied to him , nor does he seems realistic , since he has no bad side.
And second , the mc's personality is melancholic and cold.
Contrary to what people think , writing about a cold mc is really difficult , since it's hard to make him engaging.
But not only did the author make him cold , he/she also used an omniscient pov , which further distances readers from the Mc.
If only he had funny thoughts despite having a cold demeanor, it would have still been fine.
But as i said earlier , he is melancholic. So don't expect rejoicing thoughts from him.
On another point , i also don't really like how the Mc acted( in the 23rd chapter ) as though Killing was forced upon him.
Emir had a choice. He could have let the hitmen go. So i don't understand why he lamented and acted as if it was forced upon him. If he acts in a certain way , he has to uphold his responsabilities. This all whinning time discredited him highly and it was even the final push for me to definetely stop reading this book.
All in all , he is not irritating nor engaging. He is fine and just fine.
Now for the side characters...
They are forgetable( even the Mc's mother and his sister).
- The pace is slow.
As i said above , the pace is rather slow.
And this together with the characters makes the story feels dragging.
- I don't really like the book's general vibe .
The book's ambiance is the reflection of the Mc : cold and melancholic. It doesn’t change one bit , and this ends up making the whole reading experience underwhelming.
Finally , I pray for your improvement author and hope that my honest review does help you.
I've put a lot of thought into this novel, many future events are already planned with foreshadowing in the current chapters, so look out for them.
In this review, I will highlight what you can expect from my novel, although I'm a newbie novelist, I can guarantee you that my novel has excellent writing, and character design.
This novel's story is based on a mix of many genres and novels, novels such as Rebuild world, TOPAV, and small elements from Legendary mechanic, and genres such as Sci-Fi ; Fantasy.
The world it self is a mix of futuristic and post apocalyptic, so a cyberpunk like world.
I'll plan to update atleast once a day, everyday, for a while, only missing days when I'm too busy.
As for the many of you who ask if there is going to be a harem or not, let me answer you now.
Probably not, it depends on how the story would go tbh, since I'm not set yet on the female characters he will be meeting and how their stories would go.
The romance will start later into the story and no it wont be the focus, not in the least, so for now atleast, harem haters don't worry too much, as there is one FL in mind.
The story starts of slow, with big revelations about the world at the end of the first volume, I'm republishing my novel, so if you are a reader coming back from my old one, then hello, good to see you again, and for new readers, welcome and I hope you enjoy reading my story.
