Story
Gregory and his wives fought honorably and hard to advance to the finals, where their last fight was against the Eternal Flame. With their rigorous training and communication, they managed to defeat the arrogant clan, letting them stand alongside their novice friends as champions. The excitement of being the champions wasn’t the happiest part of their year, though. That came after the tournament, when all five of their friends—Nessa, Daciana, Victoria, Clover, and Ling—joined Aether’s Guard.

Story
Nearly everything in Gregory’s life had changed by the end of his first year at the academy. Alone at the start of his novice year, he’d gotten engaged to Yukiko Warlin and found a friend in Jenn Bean by the time the annual tournament was over. The three of them went on to join Aether’s Guard, bringing the name of the nearly dead clan back to life. Elder Lightshield, the leader of Aether’s Guard, gave them his support and backing and Magus Dia guided them.

I truly cannot comprehend why the MC refuses to go home and see his friends and family when he gets the chance. He's so focused on his own feelings that he doesn't even consider whether or not his friends would want to see him again. They have been with him since childhood and supported his dream when no one else did, and yet he doesn't have the decency to commit to seeing them when he gets the chance. Couldn't be me. That's so selfish I can't even comprehend it.

Story
Every year, the empire administers the rite of passage into adulthood. That rite serves to identify those blessed by Aether to become magi. The new magi are shipped to the academy to learn the arts of magic. The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want. Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream.

A name generator, because all these similar sounding names are ridiculous. Gunner, Gunther, and Greg. Really? and second, please be sure to describe the features and characteristics of new characters. You've left out hair color, height, things like this and it makes imagining their appearance wishy washy.

male narrator and translator need replaced
Reviewed: 03-20-25
he's constantly saying lines that are meant for female characters and it destroys the immersion when I need to stop to think about why one character said something the other should have. way more issues than just that, like saying the wrong word in a sentence. the translator is also making WAY too many mistakes. you can't just Google translate an entire book and expect it to be good. GET AN EDITOR.
The amount of ideas in this series that are wholesale stolen from other works is also alarming. I want to say roughly 50% of the world and character concepts are stolen from anime, movies, and other works without any kudos to where the idea originally came from.

needs polishing
Reviewed: 03-12-25
I found myself lost several times, confused about what was happening. author needs to provide more environmental descriptions to set a scene better.
the female narrator should be narrating everything told from a female character's perspective, which doesn't happen. and lastly and most importantly, the male narrator needs to learn how to laugh. I cringed every time he did a laugh because they all sounded so forced and awkward. just try laughing naturally man, please. 🙏

As a C-Tier Lifeblade, Ethan keeps his head down, works hard, and always hits his mark. His skills might not be flashy, but they get the job done—and in SlayerCorp's cutthroat portal acquisitions industry, reliability makes you valuable. He’s built a solid rep as the go-to healer who can hold his own in any situation, with a resume that's earned him the respect and admiration of his peers. But Ethan's biggest challenge isn’t in the dungeons he clears or the creatures he fights. It’s Lily Chen.

Cyberpunk + Solo Leveling
Reviewed: 02-19-25
It's pretty obvious the author either read or is currently watching the Solo Leveling series, and that he has played Cyberpunk 2078 enough to get ideas from it. There's very obvious DND references too. This is a decent story, but if you know where the ideas come from, you can tell there isn't much creativity that went into this. They even stole the Relic idea from Cyberpunk.

It would be an understatement to call Trevon Beaumont an accomplished monster slayer. He's traversed the European countryside upholding the legacy of his clan one completed mission at a time for the whole of his adult life. Now he's on his most perilous quest yet: slay the cruel but beautiful Countess Dracula. Just as the two of them seem ready to conclude their final battle, however, an unexpected act of betrayal sends them hurtling together through time—bloodbonding them, thus entwining their fates.

Top notch stuff and hilarious BUT
Reviewed: 02-05-25
Death's 180, while expected, happened with very little in the way of character progression. He made a choice and then instantly changed it without much convincing, and it seemed like a weak plot point. Other than that, this book was amazing.

MC threatens, beats, and murders innocent people.
Reviewed: 02-03-25
That's really all that needs to be said in my opinion. The story is pretty good and MC was making personal progress; as a reader we could see the character progression. Then he does this BS, acting just like in book 3 where he showed how much of a trash person he is, but he goes above that here. MIND YOU, the quantity of out of pocket stuff MC does is less, but it shouldn't be happening at the level of a teenager when he's almost 50. It's just pathetic. There are moments to panic, mope, and make poor decisions, but MC does all of those at the wrong time, every time. I just can't read that stuff without getting frustrated and having to step away from the book for a bit.

older sister is disrespectful as heck during first meeting while Dianna risks her life and fortune to make a deal with Isaac, saves his life, goes through hell with the group, and because she can't CURRENTLY keep up with them, she's tossed to the side. ever heard of training her idiot? you are the head of a freaking sect after all, but MC is too stupid to think of that. nope, as soon as she's spent a fortune on him and been by his side when he almost kills himself, she's tossed to the side and forgotten about. this is like some playboy or gold digger crap where someone gets dropped after they put out or run out of money.
but the sister suddenly does a 180 once Isaac is in power and is a sweetheart now? gtfo here with that bs. why on earth would you do that man? that's just so shallow I can't help but hate the mc and Nikki or however it's spelled. Just crappy decision making as the author dude.
