Synopsis
This is the story of a young noble devil within the Xertzul Abyss. Spoiled and dotted on since birth, James is your typical arrogant young master. He bullies and beats anyone he can find with the help of his butler Azon. His good days come to end though when he unlocks a useless Dao and is labeled as trash by his devil clan. With his fall from grace, James has to learn the value of hard work and effort if he ever wants to find his place within the heartless Abyss.
This is a true weak to strong story focusing on an evil protagonist. James has no moral compass and is riddled with character flaws that are fixed by his character development. If you want to skip Volume 1's character progression start reading at chapter 69 it is a full recap that allows you to start reading Volume 2.
This novel has logical character and strength development while the MC is given very little plot armor to help him along his path. In fact, most of the time the plot actively works against the mc.
Volume 2:
Seeing no further prospects under the protection of his clan Soulless (James) heads out alone in the cold dark Abyss. More mature themes are explored as the Soulless comes of age as an adult. His hopes, focus, and drive change as he matures through adulthood learning to stand on his own two feet. Mc starts to grow a little OP.
Volume 3:
Soulless embarks on a quest to the Western Frontier to create his own fief. By now the Mc is Op & Evil Incarnate.

Honestly this novel is great, I wish more people would try it because its in the same league as my vampire system.🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Shameless Review by the Author here. Obviously this is the best writing i've ever written top quality stuff here. It's incredible. I said we were going to do this. A lot of people don't know this. When you look at it. Devil's. It's amazing. Trust me. Trust me. You know what I call it? Nobody has done the job we've done. They won't tell you that. You know what I call it? It is incredible.
A good novel I reckoned. The storyline was really good, quite similar to mine too. The grammar was of high quality, the characters are well written and the worldbuilding was well planned. Great storyline. Good job author. Keep it up.
Btw might contain a small spoiler nothing major though Devil rise is a great web novel, with a devil as an mc from a noble clan at the start the mc is a brat for around 50 chapters but then his personality starts to improve. the mc also has a system but it’s not that overpowered it shows his stats and other things but does not improve his level or gives him items so far.
It’s so good but the author just stoped updating it iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I love this kind of story, this is quite interesting to read and I did not get bored reading it. I love the concept that the main character is evil, it's a new taste for me, and I liked it much. Author, your Novel is marvelous! and because it is fascinating I added it to my library.
IS IT DROPPED ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the character development, world, setting, and plot are awesome there are still avenues for improvement. As a note, I really enjoyed reading it, I just think reviews without input are pointless. My first complaint would be the perspective, it's written in first person but shifts around like third. There's more of a difference between written perspective than whether he does something or I do. Information dumps they would ignore or overlay with inner dialogue making it feel much more like you're in their head, for instance. Third person follows the situation and first follows the attention of"I", so it's jarring when you read stuff that "I" isn't paying attention to. You didn't go totally wrong but there's room for improvement before it actually feels like you're reading from the character's perspective. Another point of improvement would be dialogue. Regardless of who is speaking, it sounds the same as the narrator/"I"s thoughts. Two people expressing the same thought often do so in very different ways. Not every character needs to reverse the syntax of their sentences like Yoda, but giving characters distinct voices really helps the readers see them as characters in a story instead of the source of information the author chose to speak a sentence. If you think their lines in an accent it can help, but that limits you to the number of accents you can think to yourself in. Similarly, each perspective also sounds the same, the inner monologue doesn't shift in tone or word choice depending on who "I" is. This is one of the benefits of shifting perspective in third person, the tone of the narrator shouldn't change. That isn't the same in first person. Everyone's head sounds different, and that means every perspective should sound different.
The mc is funny but few chapter later his personality start to annoy us. But there is character growth and the author doesn't kill off MC's loved one to give him motivation to get stronger, he lives in abyss and after awakens and start to cultivate he finds that strength is a must to survive and his 'young master' attitude starts to change.When he understand that his clans background give him a safe space and limit his growth he leave the empire and starts a journey. If you are planning on dropping the novel pls wait till 40-50 chapter the mc's character changes along with his strength. The cat partner is funny, the author should write side chapter about the litte halfling who follows cat dao
Oh boy, where should I begin? The novel just became better from time to time since I'm reading it. My past review was about the author confusing writing tendency. Now? It just gone without traces. Nice working on editing every chapter author, I'm looking forward to reading it. Great job.
In my honest opinion, this is a really great webnovel. There may be some grammatical errors every know and then, but the excellence of the story makes up for it. I really like how you explained the Dao system and the devil hierarchy. I like specific and concise explanations, so that really made the story a whole lot better. Plus, I can actually feel the evilness in the characters. So far, James is amazing. Sure the plot can take long at times, but it will get better.
Please release new chapters .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Give my position back ***** seriously Silent is above me. Also why is slow mode activated on server? Dryder is a terrible author and blah blah blah blah blah.
140 word count is killing me dammit this is the best novel I’ve read in a long time it’s very well written the story is great but the best part of all is the author he’s constantly improving at first the fight scenes were utter trash but by the end of what’s currently released it’s flawless beautiful perfect you can tell with every new chapter the author is getting better at writing and constantly trying to improve his work though I will say that the description is a little bit misleading in the beginning he’s not the arrogant young master I expecting it’s a bit more comedic and not as serious as I would’ve thought however it is definitely enjoyable and a beautifully written story I recommend reading it to everybody who enjoys character development and isn’t someone who enjoys trash garbage cliché novels also I wrote this entire thing in voice type so there’s no punctuation sorry and probably some spelling errors because I’m using a phone don’t have time to type all of this but I will be waiting for the next chapters with bated breath thank you author for this masterpiece much love also I only gave the world building four stars because it feels like somethings are not properly explained and sometimes there’s an occasional info dump however even the info dump so well written with a little bit of personality like it’s an actual book instead of just stats For example in the later chapters alchemy is just too explained in my opinion there’s like an entire chapter devoted how it works it’s not unbearable and that’s just about the only thing that bothered me but other than that everything’s great that was only one chapter if not for that I would give this a five out of five stars hands-down
Great novel and plot. The characters are really thought out and the story is well planned and written. I highly recommend giving it a try as it is one of my favorite novels on this app.
Stability of updates : obviously it's very good. Character design : Much development here for our MC i'm really satisfied, characters feel like living being, they're interesting and deep. Story development : That's personnal here, but i really like the flow of this story, fast or slow when it need to be. World background : Flourishing world. Writing quality : Well english is only my 2nd language, but i never had anything to say about orthography. I really like this story, it's from my point of view a high quality cultivation novel. Since the stone system was adopted i only gave my stone to 2 or 3 stories but i'm ready to give them all to this one. As a conclusion if you're tired of usual CN ****, then it's for you, 100 chapters of pleasure. Don't stop author.
