/ Fantasy / Alabaster's memoir
Synopsis
In a world of magic, torn by an ongoing mass war, powered by weapons and artifacts never seen before.
Isolated along the barren borders of a mighty empire lives a man with skin of alabaster.
Alone, he would hunt the numerous monsters and other mutant abominations that plagued the otherwise abandoned edge of the empire
of course, for a decent price.
He lives a secluded life.
A simple life .With a steady, consistent routine, little did he know that laying next to the singular glaciated river that passed through the frozen permafrost covered fiord lay a surprise .
A surprise that arrived abruptly just as the fierce storm that brought it .A surprise that would shatter his peacefully isolated way of life almost as fast as it had arrived.
Laying in layers of blankets and rags, an infant boy with hair, the colour of the sun, and eyes of Sapphire.
Wrapped around the boy was an amulet of gold, bearing an emblem belonging to a nation, a far away nation beyond the lands of the empire.
Through the lands of countless enemies and monsters infested plains past seas that were considered uncrossable …
on a good day,
all whilst guarding his newfound responsibility.
Using old allies, forgotten friends, past foes, and debtors alike, the man ventured into the vast void with one underlying question.
Will the man with skin of alabaster succeed in reuniting the boy with his family?
Or will his efforts lead to a foolish end as he dies trying.

Write a reviewI will be honest here. It is not an easy task to captivate your reader. It takes an unfathomable mastery of words, imagination, and maturity of thoughts. I read only the 1st chapter. But I am confident that the ratings I am giving is honest. 1. plot - 10/10...what? You don't believe me? It was like a commercial TV drama pilot...I am sure this has an amazing future. 2. character design - 10/10...if you don't fall in love with the characters or hate them...the design is not good. But here, I could actually see. Even the Ai image generator worked fine with the description of the ML. 3. The dramatic effect - 10/10...with the wounded woman trying her best to save the baby...oh! It was a heart-rending scene...and when she was buried..when the Man closed her eye lids...I have a ball of emotions foaming up in my throat...I have teary eyes as i write this. 4. Promise of an engaging adventure - 10/10 ... I can foresee the adventure the baby and the man will have to go through, and can't wait to read it... This list can go on... Just because it has long chapter...don't be fooled. You won't even feel the length once you begin...Don't try to push yourself to finish it...just keep reading...You will be transported to that land of fantasy...you Will feel the chill of that Ice-cold country.
Very well written, a few places with grammatical errors. Not enough however to take away the suspense and drama as a young boy is found amidst the snow with an amulet of gold. The mystery unfolds as we learn of the boy's origin and are left with more questions than answers. I can't wait to read more and I highly recommend you give this a chance.
This captivating book presents a rich tapestry of characters and emotions, woven into a compelling narrative. The author's masterful storytelling keeps readers engaged from start to finish, seamlessly blending poignant moments with breathtaking twists. A true literary gem that explores the depths of human experience and leaves a lasting impression.
I'll be leaving an honest review.the plotline is good. it wasn't a bad read not gonna lie, but the chapters were quite long. honestly aside the long chapters it was a fun read
Not too fond of long chapters but this is really nice~ it's descriptive and I felt bad for that person in the beginning lol. wait did she (i think it was a woman?) like get fried like a potato
author's attention to detail is commendable, as exemplified by the description of the small cottage-style home and its unusual decorations. The contrast between his physical perfection and the remnants of past torment adds layers to his character, leaving readers eager to uncover the secrets that lie within his enigmatic existence.
Reveal SpoilerNeed's more description but you have some really good ideas!! Keep it up author you're going places! The grammar of the book isn't bad and it's consistent but having to rely on what the characters are saying isn't really immersive
Reading this feels like trying to watch a movie with your eyes closed, relying on only what the actors are saying to create a mental picture.....Grammar isn't too bad, but the words used make reading become a chore. Not only that, but the events being described are more in a telling fashion. We want to see the characters play out their roles, not the author telling us how the characters play their roles out. While this might not make sense at first glance, you'll understand it soon enough...
This is a great story that the author put out there despite only five chapters. I hope I would see what happens next, despite the chapters being long and some grammar issues. Other than that, keep up the good work.
I really enjoyed this story!!! The grammar and metaphors are well-written and on point. The novel is packed with a wholesome relationship between Alabaster man and child, as well as action, mystery, and adventure.
I'm telling you, authors' ideas are getting more and more creative by the day. everything about this is magnificent, the writing, the pace, the plot, the world, everything! I love how you add artwork to help readers imagine what they look like. Thank you for that! Great work, and keep writing, you might get somewhere.
The synopsis is catchy and has me wanting to read the whole story. The important thing is the MC which is well developed. I'd advice the author to focus more on clarity. Otherwise, the story is good.
The author is very good in imagery. The narration is vivid, giving the readers a solid grasp of the how the story is unfolding. Though some sentences lack commas and periods, it can be edited. Over all, it's a good read! Keep up the good work, author!🌟🌟👏
This is a well designed book.

The writer is a true talent. I'm already loving but since it only has a few chapter, I'll have to wait a bit before reviewing again. Hope author takes this book down the right path.
There are a lot of unfamiliar words used in the first 3 chapters that I have read. That could be a disadvantage for the author and a hindrance to readers like that were not that familiar with those words. But that could also become one of the strengths of this book. As more readers get invested in book stories, it would be fun to research what those unfamiliar words mean. That will make the book more interesting to read together with the story itself. So for the author, I think you don't need to change your writing style. Just keep the book more and more interesting.
Unfortunately, I'm discovering what may turn out to be a masterwork so early in its development, that at the time of posting I have only one chapter to peruse. The author shows great understanding of character and plot, so that I am drawn into the world of their design with even the very first installment of what aims to be an enthralling epic. A couple passes through a spell-check or a hired beta reader would serve them well, but it does little to stifle the evident passion with which they detail this world and story. I wish you all the best and I will be keeping close tabs on this one as every chapter updates moving forward.
