[From the Author of Author's POV...]
Emotions are like a drug to us.
The more we experience them, the more we become addicted.
The hardest part is not letting them consume us.
But it's already too late for me.
I've already been swallowed whole.
***
I had no knowledge of the game.
I was meant to have died.
And yet, I found myself in this situation.
A game I had never played before. A character I was unfamiliar with, and... A world that seemed to want to swallow me whole with every move I made.
What the hell is going on?
...and who am I?

Hello, author here. I held off on review until I managed to get some things sorted. I’m excited to announce my second book on this platform. Advent of the Three Calamities. If you’ve read my previous book, then you’ll come to find some similarities between the two books. Mostly in the plot twists, and interactions. I’ve taken a long break since my last novel. There were A LOT of things I was unsatisfied with. Hopefully, this book will be better. I hope it is. Thank you for your support!

There are not a lot of stories these days that can hook you since start. Good stories have become rare these days. But here I am hooked since prologue. I love the theme of novel which is mainly focused on emotions so I know for sure that it's gonna be a thrilling and blood pumping roller coaster of emotions. MC feels a like person and most importantly human, a real living HUMAN like all of us. He isn't someone who was like. "Oh I died but nah I got transmigrated so like all other Mcs my job should be avoid bad ending and og protagonist and go my way by avoiding death at costs as well as making a lot of strong connection all the way." He behaves how anyone of us could have behaved.He goes through all phases of regret, denial, reluctance, partial acceptance. He doesn't wanna live there he wanna go home where his little brother is. He loves him more than anything even more than himself. So another merit is, he isn't a cold blooded murderer but a sane and principled person. I also love the duality of his character He is mentally broken and sane at the same time. He has suffered by a lot of negative emotions in his past life and is mentally vulnerable but at the same time that's his strongest trait. He is mentally strong because he has already been exposed to all kinds of negativities to extreme. Every chapter is like he is walking on a thin line between sanity and insanity no one knows when and where will he trip. Whether he will loose himself in dark abyss or will be king of its king is still a mystery? So if you wanna know 😜 do give this a try.
I don't even have a single amount of doubt that this will become one of the best novels out there and I am 100% recommendating to everyone and money things to expect from a guy who made me love web novels and is a masterpiece creator. Thanks man, truly from my bottom of my heart. I read you novel first to discover about web novels. you really did change me. Love you, Author, Die heart support to you.
There you go [img=recommend][img=recommend]
Okay so it's finally review time. I have read "The author's pov" when only 200 chapters were out (the pain while waiting aside). so been a while. I saw Author has a new book so I was just in search of satisfaction like TAPV and honesty i didn't think it could be better because Ren was just really great. But. I am currently over 200 chapters in This novel And I have to admit yes it's better and I see a lot of similarities between Julien and Ren like their funny character it's not bad because we remember our Ben dover this way. I feel this novel is better because this novel made me feel emotions other than satisfaction. Tears came in my eyes several times ( let's blame it on my fever) You learnt how to make us feel the emotions better author. It's really great.. The character development is just really amazing tothe point that I fell in love with Delilah because she's just different than those three immature children who are suppose to be the "calamities". I am supporting Julien and Delilah ship. Hope youend this novel With a great ending like The author's pov. And the pain of waiting for the chapters is really painful we readers getting Pain +0.1 Xp every second. At last Good luck Author, never feel discouraged we are always here supporting you. You are a amazing writer. And chocolates for Delilah 🍫
So far the book is really good. The writing quality of the book is really high and good. Considering who the author is, I don’t doubt that this book will be amazing.
After Ch300+ this Novel became so much better, before... I liked it but I didn't feel like I need to read it everyday, but plottwist and crazy lore of this enitire book made me so invested...I prefer this Novel more that LOTM(Even tho its not better written than LOTM, I like this novel more) I have to say at first I didn't really liked Julien as a Main character. but oh man how wrong I was he is now one of my favorite. Also its been talked alot if this Novel is better than Author's POV and in my opinion Its wayyyyy better you can see how much and that's even an understaitment whole dialoges,lore,Main Characters,everything that APOV was good at AOTC does better, It doesn't even sometimes feel like its the same Author because of how fast and much he inproved If Anyone wondering if they should pick it up, I would say wait till this novel end's because you will suffer for having to wait for peak everyday
Guys do yourself a favour. .... Read this ASAP. OR DON'T MAKE ME COME TO YOU.
ALL BASED ON MY OPINION if you don't agree that's you. Writing Quality -The writing is similar to that of translated novels. It makes the story feel slow and the pacing dragged on sometimes even boring. I find myself skipping paragraphs that don't involve the MC or something that has to do with the side quest. At times I find myself feeling like dropping the story because of the writing but I want to know more of what happens so I stay 😥.If the author got their writing inspiration from translated novels it's understandable but I'd recommend that you to practice your writing and study other writing styles from different authors in no way am I trying to bash the author in any form. I just feel like if he improved his writing it would make a huge difference. Maybe get an editor too if it helps👀 Also the dialogue feels awkward sometimes. Story development-👀 The arcs have been interesting so far but like I said if the writing was better I'd actually have enjoyed them a lot. My favourite arcs by far were the acting arc and the prison one. The other arcs for me felt a little boring and dragged on for too long for my liking but I think it'll get interesting especially with the introduction of the other emotive mage and the gods of the world let me not forget the memory of him entering Delilah's memory. What can I say I really like lore especially when it's well written. I hope I'm not disappointed. Character design-🙂 I'll start with our MC he's an interesting character and feels complex but... #Leon og mc😑- In my opinion out of the entire main cast I feel like he's the most well written character so far and at times even better then Julian. I feel like he has a lot of potential in the future and he's actually my favourite. #Aoite😐- She at first for me felt like a copy of the fml from tapov but with a bit more pride. I like her character but I don't like how the author writes her. I can see the vision but she feels like all the fml characters I've seen in every novel/anime and manga I've read...I guess I just wanted her to be unique all on her own. In simple terms her character doesn't feel solid. #Kiera😒- Probably why I actually like her character design. Her character is actually solid. Hate her or like her but she's well written and has so much potential for future arcs especially with the secret Julian is keeping from her. She's my second favourite character. She just feels so solid with nothing missing. #Delilah🫥🤖- She also feels like all the other fml characters I've read about with the only thing making her different being her love for chocolate. I honestly feel like the fm teachers in tapov were way better written then her because they had more character and where solid individuals. Meanwhile Delilah feels like a robot that likes chocolate ...at most times. Her internal monologue is not bad because u can tell she's actually a childish person especially with her back story which makes sense but to give her a childish form 🙆😭I didn't agree with that writing choice at all but there must be a reason you did that 🙂↔️😭. I just felt like she could have been more you know, but maybe in the future she will be. But with that said she's my second fav fm character. #Evenly🧍-I'll be honest I didn't like her when she was introduced and I still don't like her now but my dislike for her has decreased. But like someone said she's basically an NPC now and she's 1D that's all. She's 1D and the worst written character so especially if she has an important role she'll play in the future. #Atlas🤗👹- Solid character. I've seen very little of him and he's a way better written character than Delilah so far and he's arguably becoming my favorite just because of how well written he feels. I recommend HOW TO WRITE FANTASY CHARACTER ARCS BETTER THAN 99% OF AUTHORS by Jed Herne on YouTube too. Well written fml characters from books I've read so far are the poppy war, red rising, shadow slave, Percy Jackson I forgot the rest but you can study how they are written if you want. Brandon Sanderson too according to my friends I've yet to read the mistbone series. Let's also not forget Avatar toph, Katara, Azula, Ty Lee etc has a large cast of fml characters that you could study. Updating stability -Not bad. World building-I love world building it's my favourite genre after found family. I'm rating this on the places we've been so far. Academy- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ not my favourite place to be but it feels like a safe haven for our cast since it's the only place that hasn't caused them any trauma. I hope it gets destroyed 👍 Prison arc- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly loved this one. It was small but the arc was enjoyable especially with how it ended. Author I can't wait until Julian is hated 🙂↕️ The acting arc- ⭐⭐⭐ Also my favourite arc especially with how Julien was written, but it didn't do a lot of world building. Can't wait until he loses control but this time make it longer I love how you're giving us hints that he's going to lose it.And I don't for one second believe that Julien found himself it was too easy especially with the hell he'll have to face. Necromancer arc-⭐⭐⭐It was in a different city which I liked but the world building for me felt separate from the story. Mirror arc- ⭐⭐⭐ I feel like you could have done so much more and explored more of the mirror dimension but I'll understand that it's only because you have the exploration saved up for later. Dora the explorer who??? It's Julian the explorer now. Anyway this was my least fav arc but hey we got owl mighty so there's that ....🙂↔️😭 Priest arc- ⭐⭐ I hated this arc because why did Julien have to lose his memory 😾 I was shaking in my boots praying that no one finds out that he's a fraud 😩😥 Author I was sweating and it also felt unnecessary maybe it'll be explained in the future but for now 🙂↔️ Anyway this is my rating after chap 243. I'll come back for later chapters 🐱✌️ and see if my rating has changed.
Seeing there's 100 chapters out now I think I can make a proper review . So here it is : [Those who don't want to read all that here's a TLDR:⤵️ It's a amazing novel that is unique and sucks you into its storyline with the plot, forshowing, jokes and interaction with the side-characters (It's a novel that you'll not reget reading)] •The overall story is great and I like that it's different from other novel around transmigration and the 'Extra category'. • The power system is unique and well explained and you can see the me struggling, failing and overcoming unlike in other novels which just say that 'he practiced and was able to achieve it',Here we can see the mc struggle and how he is an outsider to this world. • Now about julien(mc), I like the way author has put together his personality and his emotions (lack there of sometimes) and how these emotions are his powers. From what I've read till now and expecting from him, I can say I'm excited for the future and how he'll overcome his wall of being an outsider. • This novel also does a amazing job at make the side-characters feel real and not just sone pcs like we get in transmigration novels. •(Also I like the dynamic that we have between julien and Leon and would love to see more bromance😏 Between them ) Now about What I expect : • I know l'll sound dumb but l'd like if there is more world building and we get more story's outside of just the academy but I expect that we will see that in the upcoming chapters. Overall it's what we expect from Entrail_Ji: a great story with good upload schedule and I'm excited to see about the future chapters.🎖️
Yeah no.. I thought this would be a dark story but yikes, chessy lines, amateurish writing. I felt like i was reading a diary of a 15 year old with some fantasy elements. Main character is beyond edgy and dialogues are out of the place.
I don't have a shred of doubt about this novel becoming one of the best in coming times. The only advice I will give you is that to not rush it like the end of "The Author's POV". Back to the review: This review is being written as of chapter 50, I will make a new one when it have more chapter in future. -Our main character is a likeable one, especially his wicked sense of humor and his taste in food. -Side character are fleshed out as well, each having their own unique personality. -The world building is not done yet so we only know two-three places but with how good the intro to them was I am sure it will be amazing. -The plot development has started in recent chapters only as the earlier one were intro to the story. -The pacing is good enough not too fast, not too slow. -The power system is being explained as the story is developing and I am liking it very much, as this Indicates that there won't be much info dumps (Author definitely learned from his mistakes when he started TAPOV). All in all it's an amazing novel which will on the trending list in no time. The only think I ask you is to give is more chapters, two chapters a day aren't enough make them at least 10 a day.
*keum* I may have binged almost 300 chapters in one day and called off work once I found out you wrote a new novel. Butanywho, it’s an absolute masterpiece in the making again. I’m just very existed to see where you go with this one. My favorite piece of this is the dad jokes and the emotion xp level ups for comedy. Please dear god continue the comedy with how dark some of this is. It’s a breath of fresh air. ILY do great again and have fun ❤️
The writing quality is excellent (even though there are only 3 chapters right now), the work also has potential like the previous one, knowing who the author is I know it will be a masterpiece so I totally recommend reading it and finally believe me You might like how the story develops so give it a chance. Thank you author for developing a new novel, I had been waiting for months :)
