The Shadow of the Great Sundering

The premise is cliché but the execution is really well done and the writing is entertaining. Though, it is repeatitive and over descriptitve ag times, the writing is still engaging. Here are the pros and cons:Pros: 1) Characters: I like how all the characters are grey. They are not particularly likeable but they are not horrid either and thankfully, there is no shallow cat fights. Most characters are clever, even the corrupt and wicked ones are challenging.2) Exceptional female characters: What made me truly appreciate the novel was the female characters. Whether Belinda, Elena, Rozalin, Vanessa,  Amelia or Wendy, every female characters has such an outstanding personality. Not all are warriors or mana weilders but they are exceptionally strong in their own way. I am especially fond of Amelia. Though she is an antagonist, the fact that how clever & unpredictable she is, makes her a very strong villain. I am so looking forward to her confrontation with protagonist.3) Plot line: I have to admit the story is more complex than I first thought. Since it was a cliché story of reincarnation, I thought it would be the same old OP character fighting their way to get everything by force like some bloodthirsty battle hungry ghost. However, the plot is much more intricate. The complex web of events and the way they are unraveling is particularly enjoyable. I like the way the ML is cleverly using the corrupt characters and the powerful to his advantage.4) Action sequence & war strategies: The author really knows how to make the war look interesting. I have never read a battle sequence which has invested me this much. I am always curious to know the strategies the ML will use and how it will benefit the battle to their favor.Cons:There is nothing bad per say but one thing has particularly bothered me. That is the glorification of slavery and overworking. Though it fits the story's narrative, it is bit unsettling, how the ML is trapping these people and forcing them to work endlessly without rest. Ghislain almost seem to be enjoying the misery of these overworked employees and is showing zero regard towards their well being. What is even more disturbing is that, he is pretty hypocritical. He pretends to care for all the employees and still uses various shrewd and unfair means to turn them into slaves so that he does not have to pay them. It is worsened by the fact that he NEVER even bothers appreciating or rewarding their hard work like giving them time off or some money, jewel, service or anything of the sort. Thats the only issue with this story!! I am hoping the protagonist to show some growth. Otherwise, he seems pretty much like a wannable tyrant.

A good book which has a very nice balance of story and romance.From the first few chapters one can get a proper vibe of the book. This sets up a pretty good foundation for the rest of the story. The story never tries to be other than it was introduced in the beginning, as a result we have a very grounded approach to the story progression. The mc is op but that’s never the concern of this book, the main focus is building relationships and personalities. The book adds a lot of new elements to the ‘Extra’ genre. We start with basic mc dying but intrestingly he wasn’t the one who met the Godess, someone else wished for the mc to be transmigrated. But the story he is sent to is a transmigrated Villain story. Its just intresting to see how the author just subtly incorporated this into the story. Normally I am not in the favor is systems but the system in this book has a unique charm and personality. Its actually a partner than a robotic quest generator. Writing quality of the book is actually pretty good with a good pace. The mc has a smart personality and does not act interact with the other 2 protagonists. He has in own goals and isn’t scared to change the events of the story. Nor does he care about the plot. Another important pro is that the author is actually active in communication. Even though the book has 160+ chapters , I still have a high chance of getting a reply from the author for a comment on the 40th chapter. This is very rare for most books. Again there are always some flaws like the academy tag, just being a plot device for introducing characters. I would also appreciate a bit more slice of life aspect to the story. It would be nice if the personalities and feelings of the FL’s would be more flushed out. I would have also appreciated a bit more world building. Because we somtimes I feel like we are dealing with a more medival vibe with magical devices but the next day our mc is in a amusement park going on a rollercoaster or someone is using a mini recording device to stay the mc. All in all this might not be the most unique book out there but the book knows what niche it is satisfying. And that’s something which I value very much, as from the beginning to the end I am getting what I paid for.This is a very good book for a casual reader and hope more people support and read this book in the future.

Woah, saying this book is exceptional is an understatement. Honestly, you never know what to expect. It's an awesome page turner. Trust me, you won't regret spending your coin on this book. Author, you said this is your first time writing on Webnovel, but how come I'm this thrilled by this masterpiece. I'm loving every bit of it. 💯💯💯

I love the story of this novel. Especially I also like Yuri's story. The character development is well made. Also, the MCs don't have a naive side that makes me love this novel. And for the building of his empire, I hope it is not too hasty. I hope his world background is expanded even further.

Ai trembled, his body growing hotter as it was teased by Wang. The deep kiss moved to his neck, making him moan out and tremble while he felt the heat rushing to his lower area.

"Oh. So this should be the rumored young mistress Li Qin. Hey your birthday is already two months away that means that the day you wed is also approaching." The lady recognized Li Qin by name and reminded Xiao Feng that his fifteenth birthday is coming.

"How was it destroyed?" Shadow asked him.
