Synopsis
Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies.
Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

This book is simply incredible! The plot is so well-crafted, with characters that leap off the page with their dynamic personalities. The main character is especially captivating, and the plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat. What's even more impressive is how frequent the updates are, yet the quality never wavers. It's evident that the author pours their heart and soul into every word. Definitely a solid 5/5 read!
A Perfect Five Star for this books. It's been really a long time since I have red about such an interesting book. I will Just say, go and read this of you want a fresh breather from all our goody toe shoes MC's. And As For Author, keep up the good work!
It's the best story amongst the one I have read in webnovel . The wording setting characters and everything is so amazing and cool. I am extremely curious what will happen next . Moreover action scene and their description is amazing , it's just like watching everything in front of me . Highly recommended everyone give it a try otherwise you will regret missing such a masterpiece .
Such a gripping read! I particularly like the fantasy and world building, and the fact that Spheris isn't some kind of beloved hero or grim villain either. But just a slightly weird young man struggling to survive in a kingdom to which he's at odds with. I'll try to leave points to up Spheris' character. The realms and depictions of the magical world are liberal and thoughtful, yet with room for imagination. I'm only in chapter three. I'll drop off here. I have to go back and keep reading.
Great all around. The characters appearance and clothing could be more descriptive but other than that this is a great novel. Significant side characters and compelling story, interesting powers and system. This is a well rounded novel which nearly flawlessly executed intermediate English with no problem. Looking forward to more.
Alright, everyone get low I wanna whisper something to you. this book... this book... IS FUGGIN AWESOMEEEEE! the characters! 10/10 writing quality! 10/10 worldbuilding! 10/10 power system! 10/10 dialogue! 1000/10 it has no clichés! it's so fresh and the action scenes are crazy good. I find myself reading and reading and reading, completely lost. It's so good!
Been with this story since basically the start and can say with certainty that it only gets better as it goes on, from the world building to, what I think is its strongest point of character design. Writing quality The writing quality is incredibly well done with a conftable and smooth flow of reading, the grammar is near perfect with only very few mistakes. The emotional scenes feel emotional and the action scenes immerse you into the very fight itself. Overall the writing quality is near peak and well above average. Updating stability The stability of updates is consistent and regular, nearly everyday and even then it’s not for long before another chapter, or two, is posted. Story development The story development has a well paced story. Not to fast and not to slow, allowing you to easily follow the story while giving you enough of what you want before moving on to the next interesting section. This keeps the story fresh and as of chapter 72 I have yet to become bored. Character design This is what I think is its strongest point. The characters feel real with each having their own thoughts and personalities. And with the characters that it focuses on we get to see how each of them grows and improves. The side characters are a good mix with no one character the same. Overall the Author has done an amazing job. World backround The world building so far is very diverse with lots of different imaginative places that we can allow ourselves to immerse in, with a big range of different monsters and areas, so far not many communities or cities have been seen but that’s to be expected in the place the story is currently taking place in. The monsters however are all different with their own unique and interesting traits. One of its strongest points I believe are this novels monsters. Power system The power system, which is always something important for me. Seems to be well thought out, and versatile enough that the characters can grow along side their powers and build a fighting style that suits them. With each character gaining different and unique powers to help them specialise in different things. As of right now, there is no jack of all trades. Personally I quite like that, as it means that the Mc or other characters cannot just do everything by themselves and allows for more character interaction. The Author Finally the Author. This is another one of its strong points, as the Author is incredibly active and responds to the comments answering any questions readers may have while also taking responsibility for any spelling mistakes they have made. (Unlike a certain few.)
It's my first time in this app, I want to become a writer and I'm interested in the fantasy trope. This book has really motivated me to take my writing seriously. It had very good story development and characters are maybe the best thing about it. And the World background feels so surprisingly real even though it's a fictional place. Even the writing skill is awesome. I'm impressed. If you don't want to have a fun time, please avoid this book.
World Background (4.0) Character Design(4.0) Just the first chapter, I felt drawn to the book even though I am not a fan of ML books. each line was either intense funny, or lovely. the author did an amazing job with his character, I love sphere(wish he wasn't a theif, could have make him my inlaw... haha). If you love book with lively/and Amazing scenes, and characters, then this book is for you. Overall, I rate this book (9/10).
Ok! Like I'm currently speechless, starting from your cover to the title, and the synopsis, the book is definitely a 5/5 then you move to the chapters he does great work on the chapter title it is really given❤️❤️❤️ and the way the author wrote the chapters the opening and cliffhangers, its a must read.
"The opening is well-written, descriptive, and engaging. The protagonist seems interesting and relatable
I dont't know if I want the pacing faster or if this steady pace is best for the novel. It's just not what I'm used to. But does it deliver? Abso-freaking-lutely! I've enjoyed everything from the first chapter. Their is genuine worldbuilding here and the MC seems actually smart! Yes!
can you help me with how you uploaded your story's profile picture ohh and great story pump up on the action ok see you on action and thanks my book name is A BERSERKERS WRATH DM me there thank you
Now this is the story I'm waiting for. Everything is great. I mean everything. From the writing, the flow, the world building and characterization everything is beyond what you can imagine. The author took his time to create his own world. This is a novel that is on par with LOTM. The only sad part is the chapters are less.
Well, here it is at last. The traditional shameless review from the author. I want to use this as an opportunity to drop as much information as possible about The Raven Thief, and if you still have questions after — no matter how silly — please leave them in the comments, I'm more than willing to respond. ☞ What's TRT about? - The novel generally revolves around Spheris Arnadel, a habitant of the wasteland regions who gains the powers of Obsidian, the First Celestial and the God of Darkness as he struggles to survive and save the ones he loves the most... even with dire sacrifices and consequences. ☞ What's the world around the story? - TRT is set in a completely fictional, fairly medieval, magical world. Think of it as the Republic City in LOK mixed with GOT. It is a gritty world that is governed with so much politics. First ruled by the Old Gods, who were killed by the New. ☞The Outerlining Story? - The New Gods took over as Celestials of the Continent, however the war they fought had direful impact on land, unleashing Bridges that led into a hellish world known as The Abyss. Beasts called Hellbenders poured out of this Abyss and into the Continent. Thankfully, gifted humans who were born with the reincarnated powers of the dead Old Gods made it their task to slay these beasts. They were called Bearers. ☞Spheris Arnadel. Who is he? - Spheris is essentially an uncaring, bleak, hardened and self-serving 18 year old boy. He has been shaped by his harsh environment to prioritize his own survival above all else, leading him to adopt a callous and indifferent attitude towards others. The only person he cares for more than himself is his mother, and his lofty raven, Talon. However, his naiveness in aspects concerning magic will certainly amuse you and make you root for his story. ☞Romantic Interests? - Yes, certainly. But it'll almost be non-existent as it will only aid in Spheris's character growth rather than being some sort of side plot that drags the story. ☞What are his powers? - Shadow (Umbrage) Manipulation. I know, I know. Another character with the shadow powers, but trust me, you've never seen any character employ the force of darkness like Spheris will in TRT. ☞Overpowered? - Certainly, but it is going to be a grind. A lot of characters are going to put poor Spheris in his place, especially when he starts to think he's super powerful already. ☞Harem? - Can I swear? Cause I wanna say fork no. ☞One FL Then? - Well no. Spheris grows to be a charming guy; strong, and mysterious as well — the perfect woman wetdream combo. But he doesn't go bouncing from woman to woman. He's a traditional guy, and cares little for romance anyway. Well, at least he thinks he does. ☞Special Something? - Well, there's something I added into my version of worlds. In this story, the worlds where Bearers and Adventures travel to are owned and created by Humans, i.e other Bearers who have arrived at the greatest level of power. They gain the ability to manufacture worlds out of their own artistic minds and sculpt places and beasts of these worlds. When the worlds are not Regulated and taken care of, it falls into delirium and the beasts in the worlds enter the Continent to cause mayhem. Such worlds such as [The Abyss] and [Knightmare] are examples of this. Interesting stuff, I promise you. ☞Is it in any competitions? Probably not a question you will ask, but yes!!! TRT is competing in WSA24 and I really wanna push for something great. This is the most well-thought out and most well-written book I've ever conjured, my first WN project as well. So please, be nice, or don't be nice, be expressive at least. Tell me what you think? Ask what you need to. I'm new here, I might not be aware of some stuff, so I'll be really grateful for any support, help or guidance. And I promise you, TRT is a story you'll very much enjoy. Is it conventional? I don't think so, which has me a little nervous. However; levelling up, beastslaying, revenge, weak-to-strong, captivating characters, interesting and well described powers, one of my very best worldbuilding and fine writing? Come on, give The Raven Thief a try. (◠‿◕)
