/ Fantasy / Crown of Nightmares
Synopsis
Decades ago, humanity stood on the brink of collapse under the weight of wars and dwindling resources. In this dark time, a portal to another world, Celestium, appeared in the sky. Touted as "God's Paradise," it promised new hope with its untold beauty and abundant resources.
Yet, this dream quickly became a nightmare. Instead of salvation, Celestium unleashed monstrous entities bent on destruction, pushing humanity to near extinction. In response, individuals known as the "Chosen" emerged, each wielding extraordinary powers to defend Earth. Among them was Kai, who was unwittingly chosen as the ruler of nightmares.

"At last, I find you, my lord," murmured a voice, woven from a tapestry of a thousand whispers. "What a privilege it is to finally serve the lord of nightmares, the sovereign of dread and fear," it taunted, each word laced with venomous scorn.
Struggling to maintain his composure, Kai retorted, "I am no lord of yours."
Unperturbed, the voice jeered further, "Ah, but isn't that our fate? To be intertwined in this delightful journey, whether you claim lordship or not... my insignificant lord?" Its sinister laughter then seeped through Kai's psyche, threatening to drown him in despair.

Write a reviewAlright, full disclosure: author here, shamelessly promoting my own work! I gotta say, I think this book has serious potential to be great. The main character (MC) isn't your typical power-hungry brawler. Forget picking fights with everyone and just getting stronger for the sake of it. This MC's journey takes work, patience, and some serious dedication. Also, ditch the harem trope for this one. It's all about building a cast of interesting characters you'll get to know over time. The focus might be on the MC at first, but trust me, the others will get their turn in the spotlight. That's it from me! But hey, if you have any questions, fire away in the comments. I'll answer them all (or at least try my best to!)
The synopsis has me hooked! The author is pretty generous in releasing chapters- added to colls. I like the world system and he's not just shown as a dumb ml. Look forward to reading more.

I stumbled upon "Crown of Nightmares" recently and was instantly hooked. It’s quite rare to find a book that captures my attention so completely right from the first chapter, but this one managed to do just that. There’s something special about the way the story unfolds and the characters come to life. Kai, the protagonist, is particularly well-crafted. The author has done a fantastic job of portraying him as a real, flesh-and-blood character grappling with a series of tough choices and even tougher circumstances. His struggles are depicted with such nuance and depth that I found myself genuinely concerned for him and curious about what he’d do next. Each chapter adds a new layer to his complex personality, revealing more about his motivations and the harsh realities of his world. What I really appreciate about "Crown of Nightmares" is the subtle way the author builds the world around Kai. The setting comes alive through snatches of dialogue and the unfolding drama. It keeps the pace brisk but also engages the reader, inviting you to piece together the details of the world Kai inhabits as the plot progresses. In short, "Crown of Nightmares" is a compelling read. Following Kai’s journey has been an absolute joy, not just because of the intriguing plot but because of how real his character feels.
