Hello from the co-authors, Kabir & Judy! This is our first and only work, and it is a collaboration across two countries. We are proud to present our serial fantasy-action-adventure novel, which will follow a cast of colourful characters as they battle one another in God's Tournament. But that's not all - this world is our world but not as we know it, with all of the politicking, emotions, wisdom and humanity that you might find familiar. We encourage you to share the joys and sorrows of each character as they grow in their journey and motivations. The PGOD universe welcomes you, stay a while!

Writing as co-authors is very difficult but you both are outstanding. You chose a very difficult topic to write on. If I was given such a topic coupled up to write in the genre 'fiction' I wouldn't go this far as you both did. Congrats author. Honestly, I find no flaw in this book.

The concept, the plot, the characters, the action here... It is brilliant. I like how this work is going. It has a big potential to became something if it is worked in a good shape. Carry on, writers!

Really fun spin on the whole "Play game to decide who lives or dies" idea. I specially like the whole thing with debating over concepts of faith and the depiction of how a God would function in this scenario. I do feel like the start is a tad too packed with a lot of information, tons of characters, and some really long paragraphs, but I feel that anyone that's a fan of this genre would be able to get past that to reach the really fun parts! Nice work!

Honestly speaking, this one of the best novel I came across. I loved the writing in this book, it's very fluid. And I am very very very impressed by the incredible use of vocabulary by the writer. The basic storyline of this story is also really intriguing and I have to say I appreciate how author used God but not a version of God from some mythology, which gave meaning to how for religion shouldn't be concerned in such matters. And I am completely in love with this!

This concept is unique like it's the manga of Record of Ragnarok. The battles between Gods and Humans. I like the story and the rest. No problem with the grammar but the other words is using again and again sometimes.

Phenomenal. This story spells beauty in ever letter put upon the screen. The story is filled with meaning and overflowing with action, adventure and character. There is a saying: Love at first sight. I say: I was immersed from first line. Speaking to its magnificence, this novel has me quoting. I love it. I love it so much.

This story is very well written. Even the very first line is powerful. As far as I've read I haven't seen any grammatical mistakes or typing errors. Also, the language is easy to understand.[img=recommend]

[img=fp][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend] I love how the narration is decent. The details on how you wrote the world are admirable. As far as the chapters go, I read it until chapter 5 before I review every passing scene; it keeps on getting interesting. It has a unique plot and interesting character development. Kudos to you; I hope you won't drop this.

An excellent read! The authors have crafted, in but a few chapters, a wonderful and immersive reading experience. The authors wield the english langue very masterfully as demonstrated by their almost flawless grammar and abundant description. The setting is imaginative but the plot itself is unique and I'm looking forward to further exploration of it. The world background has been wonderfully explained and is quite realistic(not in genre but in how societies, politics and such are explained) and the characters so far have been very well-written. Give it a read ;)

A story that takes place in a fighting tournament where the main character has to get strong to win the tournament is a great recipe for good storytelling. The setting is really good, the main character is likable, the villains are well-written, and the fight sequences are well-executed. It kinda reminds me a lot of Mortal Kombat, but without the severe violence and gore every five seconds. It's really entertaining to read. I really liked what you did here!

The prose is more than servicable. It will satisfy all but the strictest of readers. The characters are believable and down to Earth and the story is paced well. The world itself is a strange blend of realism and fantasy and I'm not sure I've quite got a grasp on it yet. Also, I'm not quite sure about where the story will go. Overall worth a read, and ultimately only the end can tell whether it was worth the journey.

This remind me of Record of Rarngrok and some what of The god of highschool. I don't know but I do know that it is something in the mix between them two.

This story seems interesting, the writing style is a novelty to me so I'm not used to it still, but it's not in a bad sense. It just takes time to get used to a different writing style. There are some unique and interesting ideas hidden in it but I won't be going into details for obvious reasons. The English is satisfying enough to fluidly read, or at least I had no troubles with it. All in all, it is worth giving a try!

Short review: Good fun: a lot of characters with quirks, an unlucky MC, and a good ol' tournament to get you excited. Long review: The writing itself is very good, but it lacks some immersive descriptions to really set the scenery and situations. The story develops very quickly, which sees you getting to the action within the first few chapters, but at times it also feels like stuff just kinda happens. There are a *lot* of interesting characters introduced, each with their own distinct style. However, that also means I can't remember who half of them are, or what their specific quirk is without going back and forth in the story. The world is Earth-like, but it's not entirely clear whether it is a parralel world with different countries, set in a distant future, or if it is entirely original. There seems to be an interesting backstory about how the nations on this world came to be, and I hope that gets explored further in the future.

When I saw the Thriller tag on it I was a bit worried because I'm not really a fan of Gore, but when I started reading it though I realize that it was more about the tournament. This is honestly giving me some anime vibes, keep up the good work I can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's thought every chapter asking readers to buy the kindle book and visit their website is seriously off-putting and breaks the immersion. Other than that, the plot is decent and characters intriguing albeit many of them appear out of blue. That, however, could actually work very well in comic format where slapping on a nameplate underneath a new character's face gets the job done in a single panel. The nations have a bit of Caldari and Amarr (of EVE Online) feel to them, for which I was delighted.

This book reminds me of a manga and anime. Have you heard of The god of highschool. Dart is like Mori one of the main character in The God of highschool. Somehow it reminds me of god of highschool not sure if some of the ideas came from it but it's good so I am willing to continue reading 😌
