Synopsis
"You have a Blessed mark. I a Glyph. Your Blessing is given, mine...taken."
Hex was never a given anything. Not even chances. He had to fight for it.
As child, he was left in the cloister.
As teenager, he hunted in the mountains.
As adolescent he nearly died.
In this world humans and beasts absorb energy. But the energy was too chaotic unless refined by the Heavens. Thus it was called Blessing.
To have a better life, Hex sought Blessing from the Heavens, but the Heavens seemed unwilling.
The only thing he could rely on was his heart of stone.
His heart absorbed the Blessings he was denied.
But little did he know, even his heart of stone held secrets that could destroy him.
Heavens wished to destroy it, deities wished to obtain it and humans wished to control it.
But no matter who obstructed his path, Hex faced them all with a firm will and heaven-defying strength.
Follow Hex on the edge of life and death, till he transcended both.

I only read 1 chapter, but i think it's worth a try. The reason? Check my comment on the 1st chapter. Reading this story is a fate. lol
Good read with great prospects. Can't wait for more chaps. Keep it up author!
'The Stonehearted Knight' has piqued my interest greatly, and I'd like to make a full, in-depth review on this story! I'll be tackling spoilers up to Chapter 10, so it'll be hidden for the time being. I'd like to commend you on making a very riveting, and interesting main character right from the get go! The first chapter reveals merely one thing about him; that he's crafty, an extremely skilled hunter, and bitter of his situation. With more of Hex's background being revealed over time — his personality becomes much more understandable — and you can understand his motivations. Hex may be competent, but he's received his fair share of beatings from his own lack of Blessings and his unique situation. Hex's hatred is explored amazingly, in my opinion, and while I'm at only Chapter 10, I'd love to see this aspect of him go into much further depth. A character becomes extremely engaging when their flaws get in the way of their goals, and it would make Hex much less perfect; and much more interesting. This is already shown in the way he almost lost to Vitor due to his inferiority complex against the baron, and how he overworked himself to hurting his muscles. The world building, and power system is extremely good. More and more gets explained over time, and I undoubtedly think that a lot of the questions I have will be explained later on! c: I am extremely engaged in how Blessings, Glyphs, and the world works; it's very fleshed out, and versatile at the same time. The system in general with how blessing rituals are gate-keeped via wealth and status paves way for good conflict. One of the only gripes I have so far is the dialogue! The dialogue is VERY well-written, and the only aspect which falls a bit too short is how a character conveys tone. I feel with the usage of more exclamation marks, various dots to convey uncertainty, tiredness, etc. (...) and more pauses in the sentences will make it feel much more immersive! However, this is the only aspect I can truly comment on, as this has been an amazing read! Overall, Jay, I'm truly amazed by this world that you've created, and I really can't wait to see more!

It’s a very good story the first chapter got me hooked already yall should give it a try
This is a very interesting read. Good character writing and world-building that pulls you in from the very first chapter! The Author did an excellent job!
I, the shameless author, declare hereby my novel the best...that I could write. I thought it would be funny to write about an emotional person with a literal stone as heart. Why? Idk. The novel is a simple story about a teenage boy feeling the need to prove himself in a world where the humans, beasts and monsters take Heavens Blessing to advance to a higher level. I have planned limited mature scenes, almost no romace and certainly no system. Its a fantasy story in a fantasy world with fantasy elements. Simple and easy. I would appreciate everyones feedback. I am open to adept the storyline if there are acceptable suggestions. Thank you
