Although the trope of isekai is a repetitive theme commonly explored in a variety of novels, I truly believe you have embodied your own unique definition of starting life all over again. Through the only two chapters of this novel I have fallen in love with the idea that the protagonist Jin is willing to continue pushing forwards and is dedicated to start his life all over again given his undesirable circumstances. (Its really admirable) Without a doubt I am looking forwards to seeing the protagonist's progression and am excited to see how he shapes the development of the story. I really think this novel has potential,! keep up the good work ~(˘▾˘~) (PS) random but is it possible that the author has a foot fetish? and resonates with the father, Xavier's submissive nature?? The end part was very well written and very excellently encapsulated the idea of being dominated is all.... (a little too well...)

This novel deserves more recognition. The author's writing style is 🤌🏻✨️ It's very poetic which makes the story engrossing to read. There were a few errors here and there but they're only minor and can be easily fixed with a bit of proofreading. The action scenes were good but not quite there yet. I didn't feel thrilled while reading the fight scenes...or maybe that's just me 🤷🏻♂️ Also, there's a lack of description for other supporting characters. Plotwise, it's quite good. The prologue got me specifically intrigued. Keep it up author 👏🏻
Read a few chapters and overall, for your first story (?), it’s not bad at all. I really like your writing style, choice of wording, and judging from your sentence structures and grammar, your story has true potential to evolve. However, I found it quite hard to catch up with the story’s progression. Maybe it’s because there are a lot of metaphors….even in the summary/synopsis. Personally, as a reader, I prefer to know what exactly is happening in the story and usually avoid stories that beat around the bush. However, these are just my personal thoughts. Firstly, I guess I can say that the summary needs fixing, try making it more straightforward so that readers would know what the story is about…much faster. You are free, though, to render your story however you like! Once again, I wish you luck in your writing process and have fun!
In relation to this being the author's first story, its quite good. There is a fundamental understanding of world building and character development seen within the story and alot of effort has been put into the story. My review is being done on the basis of reading the first 2 chapters and the introduction of chapter 3. Personally, I believe that the first chapter doesn't do well in establishing the story, to me it doesn't transition well from the first to second chapter (ch) and rather than labelling it as the first ch it would be more beneficial to have it be labelled as a prologue as it would convey to the readers that the ch is more of a separate introductory, independant from the beginning of the story as by labelling it as the first ch it may confuse the audience when going from 1st to 2nd. In addition it may be better to actually have the 2nd ch be the 1st ch instead. Another problem I had was the change from 1st to 3rd person writing, it feels unnatural to switch from a character perspective to a outside perspective, although it does make sense for ch 1 and 2, the change from 3rd to 1st person writing from the 2nd to 3rd ch feels out of place. Despite my critiques, I still think that this story does have some potential and while it may not be a hit, it is still quite the good story for a first time author and im excited to see what comes next.
W novel, W writing, W art. Only bad part is L author. [img=faceslap]. Could also do more with showing and less telling, and some parts are a bit too cliche, such as the line "with great power comes great responsibility. Idk about that one chief
I LOVE THIS STORY SO FAR! The concepts and character development so far has so much potential. I trust that you will make the correct choices in your writing. I am excited to see how the story progresses. Keep it up !
I love the development of the novel, and your writing skills. Everything is in place and it's interesting. I hope Jin would be able to do great things I believe that too. Nice job author.
An advice for writing. You might as well tone down your paragraphs a bit because it's too long that sometimes readers might have lost where they are reading at. Also, too much telling that I couldn't picture out the scenes. This novel has potential and I know how the author tried his best to accomplished this work and as a fellow author, I salute you! ^_^ Keep writing! ^_^

First of all, this story is very good not going to lie, I like the descriptive writing since it makes the reader get an image transmit in his mind, and it feels like I am in there. Interesting plot, not saying that this betrayed god hasn't been portrayed before in modern, but I am just saying that your way of portraying this is unique, and it has kind of different take. Now we mix these two things we kind of get a full-blown masterpiece with enormous potentiality and third of all the pacing doesn't feel rushed. Hope to see more author
Honestly, I find the plot of the story quite intriguing, and the writing quality is impressive. However, I must admit that the prologue didn't captivate my interest. This is just my opinion , the narrative style in the prologue doesn't align with my personal taste, making it somewhat difficult for me to read. Nonetheless, everything else in the story is excellent and well done. Keep up the good work!
to be honest this book is lovely.I was captivated by the first chapter and can't wait to read morekeep the flags flying author ❣️
Your writing style is awesome! it flows so well, i just couldn't stop reading! Love Jin ~! can't wait to read more! An enjoyable page-turner that is highly recommended for all <3
A good novel that grabs you from the first chapter. The descriptions of the world and the experiences of the characters are well felt. There are philosophical reflections at some points, the text, where the description of the task or magic is well highlighted, does not merge with the rest of the novel. You can see how the author is perfecting his writing of this story.
Oh boy... Where do I start? So we have a story, which gives fo a vibe, at least to me, of another one called The Beginning After The End. I would call it a plus. The first chapter checks most of what the first chapter should check. It gives some questions for the reader, but also provides quite a good understanding of what the story might be about. Revenge, re-rise to glory. The language is good. I would even risk saying it's great. The sentences read mostly smoothly. Now the weak points. Let's start with the logic of the story. Chapter two has a child falling asleep in the mother's hand. But, two, three paragraphs later the doctor is giving the chile, presumably the same, to mother. Then Chapter 3 has the timeline set up in winter, with the protagonist literally walking on ice in his room, just so he can walk later to a rainforest. As far as I know, geography doesn't work this way. There is a lot of telling instead of showing in this story, also the dialogues fall flat. I'll end up here since you didn't want the pointers, but there is a lot more to add here. I hope this helps you to improve.

Really loved your writing skills.the character and background is so well written really appreciate your hard work. Keep it up author.
The way you write is really engaging, I can imagine everything clearly like it was happening before my eyes, keeps me turning the pages. And the development of the story is quite good.
Just finished reading the first three chapter and... Not bad! I am already captivated by Jin's determination to keep moving forward despite his difficult circumstances. I am eager to see how he will progress and influence the story for sure. Keep it up ^^
