Synopsis

“I’ve seen countless bodies before, I’ve committed countless atrocities, murders and assassinations, I’ve experienced the deaths of many of my friends and my own family, but this, this might just be the worst I’ve ever felt. I feel miserable” - Z

Z was trained to be an assassin, lethal and brutal, a Shadow sent to kill the toughest of foes. Just as he found salvation, he was finally trapped, surrounded and finally killed, not just by himself, but with his lover at his side.

In a world with superpowers known as manifests, your worth in the world is based on the abilities you wield and the power you control. Where mutations have affected the beasts of this world and demons exists to destroy humanity.

What will Z do when he is reincarnated into his past self. Will he seek the path of vengeance, once more killing his way to supremacy? Or seek to discover his lost humanity?

    "What will Z do when he is reincarnated into his past self. Will he seek the path of vengeance, once more killing his way to supremacy? Or seek to discover his lost humanity?"... Well, don't we all fking know what he, and every other MC when there is a starting question like that, chooses? Obv its going to be to become a "good guy" and try to become more "human". God dang, wish authors could make badass MC's that are actually badass. Ok, other than that, the story is actually pretty good, but again, has cliche's and sometimes you just wanna punch the MC, but then you realize the MC is made by the author, so you want to just punch the author =P

    Its not a bad read per se, but the author needs to go back and edit the chapters. While there are minimal grammatical mistakes, sentence structure and punctuation could use some work. As is, the flow is slightly off and not easy to read. There are also several inconsistencies to do with the main character, namely some small flaws like him behaving like a child instead of an *****, or him knowing stuff that he shouldn't know about. World building is missing a lore to base it on. You are immediately thrown into this world where superpowers exist, but you aren't given any background on the how and why. Granted, this could be solved in the future, but for now it just doesn't seem like it will be the case. Overall 3/5 stars. Author is recommended to go through chapters and edit them again, as well as double checking and editing any future chapters they put out. Author is also recommended to start easing in the lore of the world, and not focus entirely on driving the story and characters forward. You need lore for things to make sense, just like how context is always an important factor in sentences.

    I read until chapter 109. So far it has been a massive waste of time! I was hoping for something more, since this novel is a rewritten novel, because the author wasn't satisfied with his initial work.... But I can just guess how bad the initial novel has been, when the rewritten one ist as bad as it is now 🙈. Grammar and correct use of past, present and future are obviously not Mr. Authors strong points... Not even nearly! Character builds are strange and change in-between, like the girl with the power to control liquids and later on she is capable to create cold and ice at will. Initially she was only capable of freezing liquids over because of some artifact... Even MC has no real personality, as he acts differently most of the time, as his initial description described him to be... Antagonists and MCs friends are cliché as hell and encounters are often close to copy paste to other chinese novels... It's like Mr. Author is compiling standard settings and happenings from other novel so much, that he is drowning the few good ideas of his own... The only good point I have found so far is, that this story hasn't gone premium. Seems like the author at least knows, that he hasn't yet reached the level of writing, where it is justified to ask for money. I hope that in the future Mr author uses novels like Supreme magus or legendary mechanic as inspiration and not those ever-repeating standard cultivation novels... Dropping this novel and moving on!

    It’s very unoriginal and full of cliche moments. I don’t want to read a novel where it’s pretty much copy pasted scenes from other lame novels. I’m out.

    It looked interesting at first, the premise was good, but dulled at the very first arc. The characters are written badly, most of them are no different from the cardboard arrogant young masters. The whole first arc didn't do much other than to show that. "Oh, that character is written to be an a-hole and antagonize the MC, oh this character is another one of those, oh.. a third one right from the get-go?" There's simply something wrong with how the characters are written if they all act the same and give you the same vibe. Being a fan of reincarnation and action genre, the whole academy arc feels significantly lackluster. It lacks that excitement you would typically get from reading stories of similar genre. First arcs should always be interesting as it will show the readers what the novel has in store, making them decide whether it is worth reading or is it simply a waste of time.

    Honestly no redeeming qualities for this **** show of a story, 44ch in and we already have concluded that mc either has some kinda split personality or he’s retarded, the fat friend fucks everything in mc plans and ruins a majority of the story, the power levels are absolute garbage and author doesn’t know how to write a single consistant character

    Good story it's give me the feeling of the hunger game movie don't ask me way, I hope the author can make some of the scene more mild it's look a little bit forced and pleas stay with the main storyline i don't no where the relation between what the MC do and his past live. And thank you for the good story i hope you make it good to the end.

    Should be classified as a fan-fic as of chapter 9. Plot is nearly identical to the light novel “Tales of Demons and Gods”. Grammar is amazing compared to about 75% of this app. Characters are true to themselves and world building is above average.

    Its so nice. Even better than my whole fantasy stories that I read. Its so good. So exciting and I love Z. He is so cool and he cares about others. I love the way he acts like he didn't care and just wait for them for the first move. And also I like his fighting style. He is so experienced and I feel like I wanna fight like him. I do taekwondo so I feel I am not bored anymore when I imagine fighting like like him.
