Hello, Reader I am giving myself a shameless 5-star review, because that seems to be a tradition here. Before reading this novel, there is a brutal scene with one of the female-lead characters at the beginning of the story. (Also, I am not a native English speaker, so please expect some errors. If you could tell me what mistakes I made, I will do my best to correct them)
I am loving this book! I keep having flashbacks to playing MTG and trying to picture how the spells and effects would look. All in all, 10/10 would recomend to a friend.
I don’t know if this was intentional but synopsis is very misleading. If you are expecting a story where the mc owns a card store and his power is to use the cards he made to affect reality, you are dearly mistaken. Apparently, the shop isn’t even his. In order to gain new cards, cards that HE made, he needs purchase them from the shop owner. It also seems like other people can enter and purchase these cards considering how accessible the shop is. The mc’s power of card actualization doesn’t even feel like his own power. It seems like something the keeper granted to him seeing as he has to not only go to the shop but stay in it to open cards and actualize them. To be honest I’m just disappointed on what I expected not being what I actually got. I’m not the only one who feels this way, so I think a good idea for the author is to change synopsis to make it clearer on what to expect from the story.

Maybe i am bad at english or something else, i am having very hard time understanding what is happening with cards and power. Its seems complicated too me and very poorly actualised. I think author could not put it into simple words which was on his mind.
The idea is very interesting however I feel it was not executed the best it could have been. Still good just not the best. The English is also hard to read at times.
Well, the idea is good and the implementation is not bad, reminiscent of the general world of Fate... That's all. The characters are typical kind and strong old men, the girl is an aristocrat of a magical family and a clichéd MC from China. Even if it's just a decency, it's still annoying when you anticipate what the MC is going to say.

All in all I'm trying to figure out why these always read like wish fulfillment works.The MC always winds up becoming an absolute nightmare and as far from thier original self as possible. All while failing to realise they're far worse than those they hated in the first place.Truly it would be nice if for once the old addage of When seeking revenge be sure to dig two graves would happen.
weird dialogue and surprise world background without explanation. the main charecter is stupid and naive.
I really like the premise of the story, but the characters are just really bad. ALL the girls are just potential members of mcs half-hearted harem. The guys are a lot more interesting, except the mc. Daniel (the mc) is really indecisive and has no actual goal except a vague promise he gave to michaela of "building a sanctuary for the oppressed" which isn't the focus of the story at all. The story essentially just revolves around Daniel getting harassed by the hightower, Daniel fights the high tower off with absolutely no problem but doesn't really retaliate for whatever reasons (indecisive) and emboldened by Daniels inaction the hightower comes back for more. Rinse and repeat. Daniel is also pretty stupid. The author tries to make him look like he's smart, but he really just isn't. A lot of his decisions are just... weak. I guess he has to act this way because the author made the mc just too strong, so the only way to create some tension is to have Daniel just not use his power against the hightower. (the big bad organisation) And what is his explanation for not unleashing his overwhelming might against this objectively evil genocidal organisation? Because he SIMPS for an incompetent woman who is against violence. EVEN THOUGH this organisation has tried and succeeded in causing significant harm to his loved ones MULTIPLE TIMES and he STILL doesn't fight back. Btw, he also has no problems flirting with a woman who openly supports slavery. Its infuriating, really.
AI writing is to heavy.can you use AI just as assistan not tools?it made reader sick when reading.If you write books like that you will banned you know?
So far, a good story indeed, good quality writing and English, good development and pacing. Only problem I can think of is to explain the world background a bit, it kinda just throws you in and I was confused about the country and I still don’t know the value of the money yet. If a unknown currency is introduced it should be explained how much of it can buy of something most people would know the value of.
A worthwhile read. The story progresses rather well, the world building is slowly introduced thru the chapters, and tbr character development is solid for the main characters but leave something to desire for the minor ones at this point.
