Hello, I’m the author of this book and I’m leaving my review after 400 chapters. Ideally, I wanted to arrange my points into pros and cons but I know that pros and cons are subjective. So, I’ll be leaving it to each person to decide what is a pro and a con. -So far, the story is set in an alternate modern urban world, no different from ours. -Although the story is primarily about a group of soldiers with super abilities, it’s more than just the average shooting, fighting and killing you would probably be expecting from the genre. A lot of wit is employed by various characters; i.e. a lot of planning will go into the execution of their plans, etc. -The story subtly touched upon many different issues including political and socio-economic issues. -It tried to avoid coming off as nationalistic as much as possible so that we can all enjoy the personalities of the characters. It neither discriminates nor promotes any group over another. Everything will come from the outlook of the characters involved. -The special abilities of the characters don’t define them; instead, they’re just another tool in their toolbox. As a reader, characters who are defined by or totally dependent on their abilities sometimes put me off; take away their abilities and they become useless. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, just that personally I don’t like it hence I didn’t want characters in my book to end up as such. -If everything goes according to plan, the story will be long. Perhaps very long. It might also come off as slow-paced because of this. I tried to speed up the pace in places where I could and felt somethings were irrelevant. -Aside from the main military genre, the story explored many other genres as required to make the story as realistic and relatable as possible within the confines of fiction. -It tried to stay away from as many clichés as possible. Of course, I’m not ignorant of the fact that some clichés are unavoidable, perhaps even necessary. -The overall mood of the story is serious, sometimes dark. It doesn’t have much, if any, deliberate comedy. If there were, they were subtle and brought about by the interactions of characters based on their personalities. There are dark elements, a bit of gore, unpalatable ideologies and things like that. I try to downplay them though. In addition, I give warnings before such events. However, they are present as they are a part of the story so I want to inform you beforehand. -It should be obvious by now that I have a lot of ambitions for the book, even I am not sure of how much I can achieve. It's a passion work that I've put a lot of time into planning. How much I can achieve will depend on my knowledge and writing experience. I’ll be frank. I have zero prior experience in any art; talk less of writing. I’m learning as I go. Therefore, mistakes are unavoidable. I hope as I increase in experience and proficiency, these mistakes will reduce or be eliminated. That said I’m completely open to constructive criticism. I’m no stranger to the fact that the truth hurts but it’s also necessary for growth. So, please don’t hesitate to share your views with me. You can leave a comment or review. Depending on the success of the book and interactions from readers, I might create a discord channel for better interaction. All in all, I hope you give the book a try. I’m confident you’ll be hooked.

Honestly what I love about this Novel is - character development. - An indept on each characters personality which brings the story alive. - A lot of reference to the Nigerian culture and way of life (which I just love 💕).

REVIEW Hello, I’m the author of this book and I’m leaving my review after 100 chapters. I'll like to start by apologising to the readers who had been following the book from the start for my longer than expected hiatus. This will be a little more than a review, as I will be leaving all my thoughts and plans for the book. This will allow everyone to understand the path I’ve envisioned for the book going forward. Ideally, I wanted to arrange my points into pros and cons but I know that pros and cons are subjective. So, I’ll be leaving it to each person to decide what is a pro and a con. -Although the story is primarily about a group of soldiers with super abilities, it will be more than just the average shooting, fighting and killing you would probably be expecting from the genre.

Well I've never written a review before. I just wanted to say I adored this novel, it's one of the best I've ever read I stayed up way too late reading this and went to work exhausted beyond belief. Sadly I can't convince myself to spend 200 AUD to buy the remaining locked chapters so I will just have to write this down somewhere and come back another day. Genuinely brilliant story, may as well give it a shot even if you just read the unlocked chapters it is a great read.

This is a great story! The MC makes intelligent choices and the other characters are fleshed out as well. I love the power system and how it works in different professions and not just combat. All in all great novel and I hope this continues!!

Hello. Author here. I would like to thank everyone who had taken the time to read, vote and review the book. I appreciate the support I have received so far. I'm a first-time writer and this is a passion work for me so a lot of thought went into writing the book to guarantee the quality as well as to ensure a seamless follow of the plot and content. For those who happened upon the story and haven’t read it, please give it a try. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. The overall story, main plots, majority of the side plots and occasional missions are already set. All I’m left to do is to flesh them out and write/type down. So, barring any real-life events, you don’t have to worry about the story stopping halfway or ending abruptly. I plan to avoid any unnecessary fillers as much as I can so that the flow of the plots will not be affected. I’m a reader myself so I know how annoying filler content can be at times. While this comes off as heavily niched at first, It isn’t as bad as it looks. Though the basic theme centres around the Military(Conventional forces, Special Forces, Black Ops, even Intelligence and Espionage), I will extend it to other themes like romance, kingdom building and army building. Just to mention a few without giving too much away. Anyway, how ever the story progresses, whatever changes in the story. One thing that would never change is that the characters would always be soldiers, well it’s in the name of the book after all. No matter the changes in the post, identity, influence of the characters, this would never change about them till the end. It’s a long road to the end. I hope as many people as possible can follow the book and keep encouraging me till the end of the journey. Once again, I’d like to thank those that reviewed the book for their support even at this early stage. It means a lot. P.S: I’m always open to constructive criticism and suggestions.

Can anyone reading this give a short summary of the story please, the review section is absolutely useless with none of it has any information on this novel. Only empty praises such as " Nice character, nice power, smart guy, good leadership" What is the story about? Is this some alternate reality urban setting, some time travel or something, like historical wars ect.
