/ Fantasy / The Revenant King of Rubrum
Synopsis
There were two souls.
One was assiduous with an unyielding will. One was effortlessly cunning with wisdom beyond many.
And now, they are one. The universe will pray.
*** *** ***
Marcius Aemilia was killed during a duel because his opponent cheated by using a vicious poison.
Fortunately, he was resurrected by an outer god with an agenda.
Agreeing to be the god's agent within his homeland, Marcius was now back with a vengeance and dedication to save his family and clan from their unjustified demise.
But wait. He was not alone.
Along with Marcius, came the soul of Joseph Redwoods, who had read all the future events of Marcius's world from the pages of a novel.
So, what do you get when you combine the souls of a vengeful heir and a cunning geek?
Chaos, mayhem, disaster and good old ass-kicking.

this novel is an exercise in patience... an important scene is occurring but a random info dump appears minor arcs take an exaggerated amount of time (almost 50 chapters)... in that time frame the world is at a stand still... enemies wait for mc to come back before taking action and mc's allies are worthless, relying on mc's plot armor to save them... one of the most disgusting cliches is present(mc appearing at the last moment to save the day)... the world revolves around mc and nothing happens when he is absent characters swagger around pretending to be mature and intelligent but at no moment are you convinced... for the sake of face entire organizations follow in the footsteps of one idiotic member to jump into the fire pit... characters are only defined by one or two traits so no surprise they act like cardboard cutouts it feels like mc has a halo which attracts hatred... it is baffling how so many random characters hate mc even though mc has proven he can cultivate extremely well conflicts are forced and you find yourself reading what feels like a fight between kids... for this reason practically all characters are plot devices doing random things to progress the plot novel is the same generic xianxia only with much slower pacing
To put it into simple words: AMAZING. The quality of this novel is through the roof, and one of the best, or now my most favored book on Webnovel. -> This Review was written with chapter 100 <- To explain it further, I have to describe a few things first. The grammar is amazingly done, but smaller issues are here and there in between paragraphs. Normal things while writing, but could be prevented if someone had proofread it before releasing. But still, I think it deserves all the 5 Stars fully. The plot: The novel describes Marcius, who is a merge of two souls. One of the original of this world, and one of our own reality, Earth. They are merged together, thrown into a world that has cultivation AND magic, two different systems. Here things are getting interesting. Instead of knowing everything, because the soul from Earth has read a Novel within the exact same fantasy world, he can plan ahead, still makes mistakes, and learns from his failures. The "new" person, merged from those two souls, is smart, but not annoyingly so. He is cunning, but also kinda normal. He is cold, but also warmhearted to his family and friends. Every person you encounter in this story has depth, and the world feels amazingly well thought. I find no single issue with the whole plot, story, characters and numbers or whatever is presented in this story. Pro: - Worldbuilding is top notch - Characters with depth and not flat 2D - Numbers and the "system" are well thought through - Story telling is top notch - Pacing is exactly right and feels perfect - The reading flow is awesome, exactly with ups and down at the right time Con: - Simple grammar issues every Author has while writing could be prevented if he himself would proofread his chapters at least once after writing, or fix the issues when readers point them out in the paragraph comments All in all a kind of "perfect" novel. I can´t find any other words. I have read it like a sponge, and it never felt wrong or left me unsatisfied. READ IT.
The only bad thing about this novel is the Updating Stability. But other than that, it's perfect. there's not much too say since it's only in it's early stages, but i can say that it is done perfectly. This world do have the cultivation aspect, but need not to worry about the MC's behavior. because he will not act like the usual xianxia young master. go ahead and give it a try.
okay, so I don't do alot of reviews. But I feel like this story deserves it, im at chapter 131 at the time of writing this, the story immersive and fun to read overall. There are small problems with grammar here and there but nothing too major, new chapters have come regularly since I started reading and they're decently long and very rarely fillers. Most characters introduced have some significance over the story/plot and not many needless characters you forget 3 chapters later. This novel is a system novel but the system is more of a background feature than most, which I like. the powersystem is comprehensible and not all over the place and the buildup of the MC going against stronger and stronger foes is great and not forced for the most part unlike most wuxia novels that are like "oh no, you killed my son so now I must avenge you" then the MC gets stronger and kills that guy and then another guy appears and says "you killed an elder of our sect, now you must die" and then he kills the sect and that sect turns out is a branch of a bigger one and all that. anyways you get what I'm saying. just hella frustrated seeing the same trope in every other wuxia novel haha. back to the topic at hand, it does overall everything well, storybuilding quite slow at some points but greatly informative and fun. character design is great overall. there are some shallow characters but most of the time it's good. Honestly all I can say is try it out for yourself, you might be surprised. (typed this on my phone so sorry for any grammatical errors)
these very rare that I put a 5 stars, but from what I read amply deserved for me and I look forward to the sequel that for my part looks interesting to read or at least hope so
need some serious proofreading, can barely get through a paragraph without seeing tens of mistakes.
Guys Everyone need read this novel This a masterpiece given by the gods for us mortals through the author to be honest If I wanna describe the novel in sentence I can say : ”(everything is perfectly balanced as it should be )”
Don't mind me. Just a shameless author rating his own book. Is this legal??? I do hope so. xD
the book is awesome for real one of the best books I have read so far Great work author keep up the good work...............................
Simplesmente incrível é um dos melhores romances que li e sim, é um bom romance que qualquer um pode experimentar.o MC inst forte o suficiente para derrotar alguém, bem sabemos que ele acabará
Read up to 127.Pretty good story over all aspects. Dropping though because the word count buff in every chapter is annoying (more expensive chapter unlocks). There is no need to repeat constantly your extra chapter payout. Use the authors note section for that. On a parting note, left you some golden tickets, enjoy,
good novel, very pleasant to read sadly there is not as many readers as it should be.
The book pretty good so far I’m on chapter 22 I like the author feedback, questions, info etc… at the end of the chapters
It is a great book, thats pretty much it and now I must fill up the word count with nonsense. While writing this review I ate a whole bowl of cereal.
