After reading this, I feel like I've listened to a symphony of emotions. This was truly an experience that I wouldn't even need to reread for a long, long time to remember everything that happened. So, let's start the review. First of all, the first seven chapters aren't great. I was confused as to what was going on, who was who and what the whole Golden World really meant (we had an explanation but it didn't cover much and a lot of things remained unclear). So, from ch. 1-7, the book is a mess. From ch. 8 and onwards, it completely takes a turn for the better and, oh my, does it become better. I went from reading this book for the sake of giving it a review to reading it because I just wanted to read it and it happened so fast I was left at a loss for words. I think the strength of this story doesn't lie in its story, or characters, or setting or any of that. It lies in the combination. To be frank, I don't 'love' any character so far, I haven't felt the story to be 'too amazing' and I don't find the setting to be 'stunning'. But, the combination - well, that's a different thing. Because when it comes down to it, I feel like this story was meant to be like this. I feel like these characters were meant for this story and this story was meant to be set in this type of setting as well as the setting was meant for these characters to live in. It truly is an amazing book, the type of book that I try to find when I do review swaps. That said, there are some grammar mistakes here and there, nothing that would need more than one revision to be fixed though. However, I find one aspect to be shaky in this book. And it's writing. You have some amazing material. And there are moments where I find the story to be so well-written that I'm in awe. But there are also moments where it starts lacking and I start feeling like some amazing potential is being wasted. For a story that is based this much on emotions that the characters feel, it is very essential that you are able to write it all in a good language. And to do this, well, I have no idea. Seriously, there is no formula to writing a story. There is only one way to improve in this aspect, and that is to read more and more books (and I mean good ones, not the type you'd generally find on WN). Reading some actual novels will be very beneficial I think, especially if it is a similar type of thing to this book. Well, that's that. I hope I was able to convey how I felt about this book which, in simple terms was, literarily amazing and technically a bit flawed. While that stops me from giving a 5/5, I definitely think this is a book that deserves much praise and I hope it gets it. Keep writing and improving, author! This can become a next classic if you work hard on it, so never give up on it and keep working hard! You'll have my support! ^^

A very, very beautiful and heart-touching story that gets better and betters with each volume as the characters grow more and more on you. A very good read!

I'm gonna reread this when the author gets back to updating the chapters but for now, let's just give a quick review. Writing Quality - 5/5 Unique style. Works well with the story. Stability of Updates - 5/5 Don't care about this field. Just take a 5/5 regardless of however the updates have been. Story Development - 4.5/5 Very character-focused but that doesn't mean the story ain't good. It's as good as I'd want from a character-driven drama. Character Design - 6/5 Absolutely amazing! Love it! My favorite cast of characters on Webnovel. World Background - 5/5 The more is revealed, the more interesting the Golden World becomes. Loving it so far. Uh, well, yeah, that's it. Great book! I'm too lazy to go in detail so that's the review.

For those of you who think Webnovel only has trashy generic harem books, this is the ultimate slap to the face. This is exactly the kind of the book this platform needs and it has gotten it. TOP 5 WEBNOVEL BOOKS OF ALL TIME! FIGHT ME!

Really amazing book! Reminds me of Violet Evergarden, Your Name and other great emotional shows. There are a great number of characters but they all are well-written. I love the writing style, it's so unique. I wish you good health and the best on this endeavor, author!

A beautiful and emotional character-piece that expands on deeply interpersonal themes like identity and inevitability and many more. Takes it time to make every character likable with each of them giving a different perspective to the world and adding something to the subtext of the series. Really love this book!

I have been following this book for a while but I just made an account so thought I'd leave a review. This book is so emotional. I love it. The character are so well fleshed out and the emotions are so well conveyed. I am so glad I tried Webnovel because it got me to books like these. I hope you come back to releasing the chapters, author. Cheering for you!

I had a hard time rating this series. When I read the other reviews to see how they chose to rate it, I was left wondering if they read the same story I did. The reason I had such a heard time with the rating it is because I see the writing is trying to go in some directions. The MC appears to be this genderless individual with a confusing lack of self-identity. Instead of using a gender-neutral name, this person uses both a female name and a male name at different times, making it difficult to keep up with who is who. There appears to be some fantasy or sci-fi transmigration for characters other than the MC going on in the background. There also appears some intense drama going on between familial or nonfamilial characters, but I'm not entirely sure what's going on. The beginning suggests certain people can unleash special abilities by using "keys" to access them, but the first volume of the series isn't about that at all. Instead, people are stuck in an isolated place and get to meet each other. I've seen worse grammar, but there could definitely be some improvement. There are problems with commas, periods, incomplete sentences, quotes, and semicolons. The first-person narration suddenly becomes third-person narration. The changes to the point of view are awkward. There is a mixture of both past-tense and present-tense in the narrative. Small numbers aren't spelled out. There are words used that aren't words, such as "autisimic." There are terms used without an explanation about what they mean in this world. Some sentences just don't make sense altogether. There is no description and little clarity or explanation. Although there are clear ideas behind each character, there is no way for readers to distinguish who is who easily. Chapters are incredibly short. Although I can see that there are designs and intentions in the story, the writing is too confusing to tell what's happening and who's who in the first volume.

Hey, sorry it took so long! I am not trying to reverse commenting, but after re-reading your review of my novel my points are pretty much the same? lol - 1st to 8th chapter it is a mess... Tbh I was about to drop out after 7th. Sometimes I had to read the same chapter twice just to be sure that I still don't understand **** and that it is not my English that is at fault. - There are parts of your written style is that are quite hard to read, so the meaning behind your dialogues and world description... It's hard to understand sometimes, not often *Sometimes. - From the author's perspective, it is still a draft, too many notifications, advices and (that's my personal opinion btw---) I felt like you wanted to apologize that some parts are unclear while trying to encourage readers to keep advancing forward. For instance, I am talking about the notifications in chapter 4 or 5 - 'Read volume xx to understand how ACF arrived to the Golden XX'... If your story is interesting people will get there anyway... You know what I mean...? Like does not seems natural for me, perhaps, I've never seen it before. - Despite that the overall quality of your content gets much better after CH8 - I am pretty sure that you lose 50% of your audience until things get actually going. Also, the chapters are getting shorter and shorter, but! In your defense, I've seen other people doing that, so I guess that's ok? Characters - I had zero attachment whatsoever, perhaps I had to read bit more? There are parts that actually does not make and logical sense to me, like I had troubles to define if it is a Fantasy, Sci-Fi or more like, Asian folklore... **: If I am correct ACF or Asami wasn't she supposed to be 'gender' less'? If so why do you call her by 'HER'? ___ I've stopped after the 16th chapter I think, cause I get a bit bored, but on the other side, I realized how hard it is to build your own world (yours is pretty gigantic in my opinion.). It has its own charm, a charm that won't please everyone, but I am sure that if you fix the beginning and make it smoother, it will be great. 4/5 - Far from a masterpiece but worth a read if you like fantasy genre. PS2: Author, change your book cover, your story and 'that' are two different universes.... Sayonara.

Overall this story is quite ingenious. I hv to give it to the author for being brave enough to create a whole new world. Although this world building still needs a little bit of polishing for the details, but so far, it deserves an applause. It’s hard to create this kind of dystopian concept story, hence author, I rlly appreciate the effort. Writing style wise, it confused me at the beginning but the author improves a lot as the story goes. Lastly, the highlight of this story has to be the characters! One might be confused at first as to who is who but wow, each character has their ow story n distinct personalities. It’s amazing how the author can jump from one character to another without creating a similar one. All in all, this story is worth your time! But do read it slowly n try to take it in one at a time or else, u would be confused. Keep up the good work, author! 👌

Well, first, I won't judge your grammar since my grammar is basically **** too. In the first place, your grammar is already perfect. No typos and other mistakes, you did a really a good job! This novel has so many emotions, and while I'm reading your story, I felt the Violet Evergarden vibe The writing is not really simple, but not actually complicated, you know what I mean? It makes the readers dive head first into your story, and it's actually good! Well, keep up the good work!

Done reading chapter 15. First, the writing quality is 5/5 I had a smooth read because it didn't have error/typos, I'm not an expert on that part but I think the fact that I was able to get immersed in the story is already great that I enjoyed the developments. I enjoyed how the characters are portrayed goes well with the plot. I enjoyed it fellow author Adding to my library!

I haven't been able to find a default with your novel outside of the story, but these are my personal tastes in terms of genres of novels. What I learned from this reading is that you are an example in terms of the construction of your sentences as well as the timing of your plot, it was a refreshing experience. Nice job!

The novel is not simple. With its own special world typical of science fiction stories. But there is the potential for writing an interesting story such as Rocacon Ursula Le Guin, her beginning was also special and the very essence began to be revealed in the middle. The writing style is unusual. I don’t know whether to attribute this to the pros or cons, but the chapters are too short. On the other hand, each chapter reveals its own one story, this is a strong point. I read before chapter 11. The overall rating of 4.8 stars was a swap review with elements of an honest review. Thanks to the author for his work. I would like to emphasize not the typical construction of the content of history, perhaps this is an author's find.

Wrote this review after reading chapter 13. This is a very good novel. Well thought out. The reader needs to take time to relax and enjoy the novel without a rush. The writing quality is excellent. No observed error or typos. The storyline is developing nicely, and the characters? They are well fitted to their roles. Jong Hyun in particular. Great read so far. Highly recommended.
