Circumstances of a Fallen Lord Chapter 74 Discussion

  • #1
So I really like this story and I find myself waiting anxiously for the next update. This is a 'restart at an earlier point in his life', redemption novel.

This is a good read but the romance/yaoi is a slow burn. I'm at c74 and still, there are only looks and allusions to some kind of attraction, and it's vague. But I'm still on board and excited.

The translation is so good, thank you to the translator for all your hard work!

I understand the story clearly, and the writing is good and engaging. There's a huge overall mystery of trying to ascertain what's really going on. Even with the flashbacks, you know for sure the Duke never really understood why any of this happened in either timeline and now we are all figuring it out together. I'm looking forward to more updates!

A summary is below in the spoiler section...

Spoiler

The story starts in the previous version of the Duke's life when he is a spoiled, self-indulgent, waist of space, who takes no interest in his responsibilities to his people, or his lands. His Dukedom is sacked and he deserts his people and lands to ruin and oblivion and lives as a vagabond on the run until his final end. Before he dies, he meets a pilgrim of a mysterious, unknown origin, who looks after him and guides him before his death.

After he dies, he wakes up to find that he's in an earlier time in his life and he tries to redeem himself for all his past mistakes. However, this time he's not alone. The mercenary commander who originally sacked his Dukedom is now back in his life, but the Duke keeps making different choices, and in this new reality, he and the mercenary begin to understand one another and grow into allies...

I loved this book! I like how it could have been a stand alone book but was made that much better by the addition of the Timber Alpha characters.
