Chapter 25. Not as bad as I expected. It's not one of those shitty novels that gets made on the assembly line. The characters have depth, the world is special, and the main character thinks, grows above himself, changes. After a lot of below-average novels in which the main character gets a cheat and flies to the top of the world through a lot of clichés, this novel is refreshing. The plot is very different from the plot in such novels.There are clichés in this novel, but they are not so striking:The protagonist receives an unique soul, but does not abuse it.SpoilerHis "grandfather-master" dies, the main character feels pain and anger, but does not burn with revenge, and soon kills the killer in a "kill or be killed" situation.Death and murder are difficult for the protagonist.The protagonist meets with the strongest souls in the world, but this is generally quite plausible.The world turned out to be painfully realistically unfriendly to the main character, a depressive atmosphere of militarism reigns in it. The protagonist feels weak and powerless in an aggressive world. He is carried by the current, and he has little control over what is happening. Much attention is paid to the horrors of war and human nature.This novel was hard to read.
The author tried to compete with Lo MT, but he is too stupid. The idea is absurd and boring
This is good like really good. A solid 4.7/5 good. Give it a shot and read it
The novel cover tripped me up
how did it trip you up?
Using a tripwire on my.......wait I don't have legs
there's jumping beans so maybe you hit a wire?
I read it on RR a long time ago. The story is good, but the chapters come out so damn slow. The abstract gives a fairly clear idea of the situation. "Souls" - unique abilities. If one person dies, the "soul" returns to the single star "pool". Only then, during initiation, does someone else get a chance to call upon that soul and bind it to themselves. There are strong souls and weak ones. In this world, they have already been classified and made an almost complete list. There are about 300 thousand "souls" in the whole world. Not all of them are called at the same time, there is always a bunch in the "reserve". The soul of the MC, of course, has never appeared before and... Well, given the routine and cliches, you can guess about its "special power".
Just wanna correct you her --> his
Thx ) I corrected. But I was not talking about the super strength of the MC, but about the ability of the soul. In the context of novel, this has a different meaning.
