Synopsis
Yokai Awakening follows the rise and fall of a bloodline tied to both glory and ruin. Long ago, Prince Mydeimos Crimson, the firstborn of the Crimson King, stood as the strongest of his kind—a ruler blessed with love, family, and unmatched power. But in a single tragic moment, he lost everything: his wife, his children, and even his own life. No one, not even the Crimson King himself, knows how he truly died.
Centuries later, the Crimson name is no longer a symbol of peace but of fear—monsters seeking to reshape the world in their image. In this new era, a boy named Jae Hoon is born. Unlike the corrupted legacy of the Crimsons, Jae cherishes his family, dreams of protecting those he loves, and longs to create a better world. From childhood, he learns magic, awakens his mana core, and begins uncovering the hidden truths of the world—and of himself.
But fate is cruel. Betrayed and humiliated by Princess Liora in the royal capital, Jae returns home only to find his village in flames. There, before his very eyes, a hooded figure slaughters his people and rips his father apart in the most horrific way imaginable. Cornered at the edge of a cliff, Jae faces certain death—until a mysterious system appears before him with a single question:
“Do you wish to awaken?”
That moment marks the beginning of Jae Hoon’s Yokai Awakening—a rebirth into a world filled with political issues,power hungry, deadly yokai beasts, and unending war. Yet even with his new strength, peace is fragile. To survive, Jae must endure betrayal, political strife, and battles that push him to his very limits, all while uncovering the mysteries of his reincarnation, the Crimsons, and his own destiny.
At its heart, Yokai Awakening is a tale of fantasy, action, reincarnation, and hope—where one boy dares to challenge fate itself to forge the world of his dreams.

a great novel, a great read, this novel is amazing. if you guys are new to reading novels and scrolled to Yokai Awakening ya should read it! it actually really good and this is my first novel and Yokai awakening got me stressing waiting 6 months for it to come off of hiatus lol. but this is a great novel!
hey zyric remember me!!! i will always be a number 1 Yokai Awakening fan! so remember me when you go crazy. this story is soo interesting PLS COME BACK ZYRIC WE NEED CHAPTER 54!!!!!
the writing is good, the character design really isn't explain that much so idk. but they sound goated ash. the story is pretty interesting i don't know if this counts as a isekai cause it seems like he was born in a isekai world then got reincarnated in our modern world. this is really inter dying and excited to see how it his progress
I was confused on where the other chapter was for the novel but you deleted that novel and remade it. but I hate you zyric for this ending to volume 2 gng, like what the hell is this cliffhanger. the leaks better be good and how dare you make us wait till February for volume 3 😐 Lock in zyric you better cook with volume 3!
I gave Yokai Awakening 5 stars because it completely pulled me in from the very first chapter. The mix of Japanese folklore, action, and emotional storytelling makes it stand out from other fantasy web novels. The main character’s journey is full of twists, betrayal, and growth, and the worldbuilding around the yokai is both rich and fascinating. Every chapter leaves you wanting to know what happens next, and the balance between intense battles and heartfelt moments makes it hard to put down. If you enjoy stories with deep lore, strong characters, and a plot that keeps surprising you, I highly recommend giving Yokai Awakening a read. trust me, youu won’t regret it!
