Synopsis

Villains roam the world without any retribution. Demonic sects wage war against the Orthodox and emerge victorious. Neutral tribes stand by and do not help the worthy – they only look to profit from others’ misfortune. Meanwhile, fresh dangers brew beneath the turbulent waves...
Might is right in the world of cultivators, and evil often goes unchecked.


Isaac Dahl is born in the barren and chaotic lands of Northern Tundra. He shows promise, yet his sect holds no hope for him.
‘He might be an intelligent child, but his talent is mediocre. Bah... what can he amount to?’

Without resources or help; without kindness nor assistance from others, there is only oneself. Human relationships? Love? Kinship? I only see benefits, as others are unreliable. I can only believe in myself. This is the truth that Isaac realises. This is the truth that his sect – which proclaims itself as a Blood Path Sect – fails to notice. They are naïve.

His heart is cold and his gaze is determined, but Isaac’s path forwards will not be an easy one. It will be filled with obstacles, danger and disaster. Will Isaac clamber over the bodies of those who stand in his way? Or will they drag him down with them?

First of all, the idea of Anima is inspired by Gu from Reverend Insanity but I've put my own twist on it. Hopefully it's at least a little bit original and you like it. Outside of that, I think the book is quite unique, especially in terms of how the world is and what the main character is like. However, I won't say too much other than that the MC is pure evil. Best parts of the novel: Characters - The main characters all have depth and personality, but it's not just them. Every character has at least some thought behind them, even throwaway characters. That means you won't get scenes where side characters act stupidly for no reason. Quality of writing (I am English, I speak great English, don't expect spelling errors or anything) World building - I've put a lot of effort into creating the continents, thinking about what species live there, what environments there will be and all that good stuff. I'm especially proud of the more that will start to be revealed as the novel goes on. Bad bits: Dialogue - Some conversations may seem a little clunky or stiff. This is the main area of my writing that I'm trying to improve, so hopefully dialogue will become more natural and free-flowing as the novel progresses. Slow(ish) development - The novel isn't a slow starter at all, it begins with 3 high action trials and there are lots of fight scenes after that as well. What I mean is that characters and places will not be developed right away. I will take time with these things and you won't get huge lumps of backstory or information about people, places or things. Changes in writing style - I have written other things before, but this is my first full-length novel, so my writing style will change and develop as the novel progresses. P.S. I would really appreciate comments about which parts of the novel you enjoyed and which bits could be better. These kinds of comments will help me become a better writer, which will in turn make this a better novel. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the book!

What is evil?!? What is good?!? These are just childish words and naive beliefs, there is no good and evil there are only benefits, the strong is the law doing what he wants, simply without drama. I wish I could see the real human beast break the shackles and unleash it. Devour the world and kill whoever gets in the way or kill to increase your strength, there is no such thing as the innocent and the bad, in front of the strong all are insects. Haha I have high expectations for you

رواية جيدة للغاية خاصة الشرح للقارة و طبيعتها و مكوناتها و طرق القتال و البطل الي ما يعجبه يروح لاقرب جدار و يدخل رأسه فيه، و الي عجبني اكثر الغو او الانيما فيها تنوع و أساليب كثير و استعملاتها مثلاً غو الحركة قدم الثلج(اذا اتذكر اسمها صح) التي لدى البطل ما يقدر يستعملها الا في الثلج لو راح لقارة ثانية بتكون هذه الانيما و مثلا لو راح قالرة ثانية بينعدم فائدتها و شعبيتها لانه القارات الثانية ليست مثل القارة التي فيها البطل تكون دائمة مثلجة ننتظر انيما مثل هذه حيث تعتمد على عوامل من أجل استخدمها على أفضل وجه و نترقب اكثر كيفية انشائها و الانيما الي بيصنعها البطل في النهاية انصحكم فيها

A wonderful novel, especially the character of the hero and his intelligence, so far I have been amazed by his plans to increase his resources. The current problem is the amount of information that is useless, because it is more than the events of about 50 chapters, and I still do not see exciting events. This is because of the author's focus on quantity rather than quality, I hope you pay attention to this point, Reduce the amount of information and increase events and actions instead of ideas. I have high expectations for this novel and it does not change the character of the hero. Good luck

This is a very good novel so far with little to no cliches at all. MC is shown to be very intelligent,cunning, and cold. It updates on a daily basis which I appreciate a lot and I have very high expectations for this novel. I dont see any poisons and author is doing a great job!

As the author mentioned, the book is similar to the holy grail of novels 'reverend Insanity' world-building, and the author's method to set the stage is simply fantastic. The update stability is perfect, from beginning to current there has always been 1 chapter a day except for 1 or 2 rare instances, writing quality is up to a very high standard as well, overall its a really good book and it has potential to be even better as the author gather's experience, would definitely suggest a read, keep up the good work author!

Writing Quality and Stability of Updates: 5/5 on both, Simply I couldn't ask for anything anything better as the author never fails to deliver us with one chapter every day. The author has a good command over English, certainly not a surprise considering he hails from a natively-english speaking country Story Development: 5/5, I was a little skeptical at first due to the sypnosis, Kind of just came off as an another local waste rises up to be a phoenix with dragon queen. But glad to say that I was wrong, very wrong. The average aptitude of protagonist is barely ever mentioned in chapters and even if they are mentioned I don't remember any of them being in contempt which is quite a relief. The plot of this story is progressing at a gradual speed, not too fast not too slow, just how I and I imagine a lot of people would like it. Nothing cliche seems to come up yet which is good. Character design: This is I believe the greatest part about this novel, as every character, starting from the protagonist to the garbage picker has a certain depth of character and each of them seem to posses a rational mind( it pains me to think something so common such as this is rare to find in this CEO-novel filled website ). The protagonist has shown no signs of possessing a moral compass which to me is a plus point but I'd understand if that turns you off from this story. I'm pretty sure he'd only get colder and more sophisticated as he progresses. Would Background: I have nothing to say about this one as we only know about his sect till yet(not that I am complaining). But referring from how this novel never manages to disappoint me I am certain that the world background as it gets revealed won't be bad.

A brilliant novel, the writing is top quality, the story is great, its a slow paced novel but theres enough going on each chapter that the story keeps you engaged and wanting to read the next chapter. The character are all realistic and have their own strengths and weaknesses. Its a great read if your looking for a cultivation novel with an mc thats willing to do anything to gain power.

Author, first of all, hello. I have finished all parts of your work as of now. I read it a little too fast as it was a book that I couldn't take my eyes off of. I'm not going to rave about your work. A person who reads your work is ashamed to criticize destructive criticism. If web novel does not pay you for this work, I recommend that you contact different sites related to this field. Even if you don't write this masterpiece for money... I was shocked that a piece of this quality received so little attention. Only 13 reviews? I laughed. Whether it's the author's writing, the flow of the story, the realism of the characters, this book is of great value to me. No, the story is so natural and good that it's like you're really describing what you saw. Are there any shortcomings? I didn't notice it while reading. This is proof that the author threw a thousand tons of soil on the plot holes. I have two questions. Why doesn't the northern region use swords? I haven't seen anyone who can wield an ax either. So these people don't use cold weapons? Where did you learn to make such good cakes? I appreciate. I'm following. My native language is not English, so there may be errors in some parts of the comment. Anyways. Seriously, this story only needs an introduction and it's ready to take flight.

This is the tale of a yet another sociopath whose whole pursuit in life is mostly strength. And in pursuit of it, He can forsake everything else and do any immoral acts. He feels no guilt at selling off his comrade at the expense of new informations. He feels no familal love either. Although, he is indeed evil, but he feels no need to harm others if it isn't for the sake of benefit. He also has a set of hobbies, such as reading for peace of mind. The power system is quite similar to Gu system from "Reverend Insanity" with few unique quirks. The plot follows a consistent way with no noticeable loopholes. The side characters and important ones all have a character unique to them, and quite sensible ones too. The plot isn't growing too fast and every action of our protagonist and others is descriptive and follows a logical sense. Edit: One thing I forgot to mention is that most of the side characters are, inevitably, equally or more evil than him. I have yet to see a single saint.
