I read for a while and really enjoyed the leisurely pace of the story; this book also perfectly fulfilled my travel fantasies. Why is no one reading such a good book?
A very good book, the world-building is very engaging, and the writing is delicate, but I felt a little disappointed after finishing it. I hope the author can write more side stories, such as the wedding of Eileen and the protagonist, or the lives of other supporting characters.
I finished this book after reading it for almost a month. Overall, the writing is excellent, but I think the most outstanding aspect is its world-building, which is truly captivating. The ending is abrupt, perhaps the author wanted to leave room for our imagination, but it feels like it left many loose ends, such as the Eastern Continent, the Lord of the Holy Sword, and the protagonist's final fate. However, there's no denying that this book is brilliant. Highly recommended!!!
The world-building is grand and enjoyable to read. Although I've only read a little bit, it feels very good, with a strong sense of the isekai (another world) feel of Mushoku Tensei (a Japanese anime/manga series).
The story continues to be exciting, with a grand scale. Many characters have already become etched in my memory. I suggest writing a side story about One-Eyed Allen and his Eastern companion.
It's good, but there are too many plot holes left unfilled. The past of the puppeteer and the fortune teller, the prophecy of the Water Spirit King.
It has a strong Western fantasy adventure story feel. The plot is a classic hero's journey of growth and adventure. The writing style is a third-person narrative, which may lack some of the immersive feeling compared to most first-person perspectives, but once you get used to it, you'll still be drawn in by the story.
A very good book. I've only read a little bit so far. It has a grand worldview. Beautiful, beautiful, really beautiful
The narrative technique and coherent writing structure are significantly stronger than most other authors, suggesting that the author has received formal training in these areas. However, this results in a slight decrease in entertainment value, and the portrayal of Eileen's lively personality is somewhat overemphasized. Overall, though, the writing is excellent, so I'd give it four stars. Keep it up!
Tomato shouldn't have such a high-quality book.
