Tales of a Detestable Noble
They call him the noble brat. The worthless heir of a forgotten bloodline.
Roy Lark woke up in the slums with a bruised body, a shattered name… and memories of a past life still burning behind his eyes.
But Gaia isn’t just swords and mana. It's a world of buried horrors, blood-soaked hierarchies, and spells that whisper madness.
And the slums?
They're not just broken — they're infested.
With monsters.
With lies.
With something darker lurking beneath the dirt — watching.
Roy isn't a hero. He's not here to "change the world."
He's here to play it like a game.
> Schemes instead of swords.
Secrets instead of spells.
And when needed—violence as cold as iron.
When infiltrators threaten his found family, when curses trace his blood, and when a hidden guild begins pulling strings from the dark... Roy decides it’s time to rise.
Not as a knight. Not as a king.
But as a detestable noble who never stays clean.
"Even rats can become dragons, if you give them enough filth to grow in."
Welcome to the underbelly. This time, the shadows fight back....

I'm greatly inspired by TBATE, one of the classics out there.

Although there are only a few chapters, I believe it is possible to get a good idea of the work so far. I am very satisfied with the plot, it seems to me a complex world, full of enigmas and hidden powers, which in turn, gives a lot of room for the Author to work. Also, the MC is not pathetic as we see in some novels, he actively uses his mind and has a high potential for growth, something I was very pleased with. I hope with all my heart that the Author will not abandon this work, which is something common nowadays.
I like the mystery and the suspense .The writing style is good and easy to understand .The MC is interesting and I am wondering what is gonna to happen as the story progresses .Over all a well made story so far .Keep up the good work author !
Like the book so far, story is interesting and well written with no major grammatical mistakes. It is a good read, so keep it up author.
The story has a lot of potential. There are so many possibilities and a mystery to solve. There are a few grammar issues but nothing to stop you from reading this amazing novel. From the start, you just like the MC, Roy. Very relatable, down to earth and I got to say, very adaptive~. Keep up the good work.
The start was really slow but I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt, What I can say is that the writing quality was really good, There were very few mistakes in the writing and the character development was pretty smooth. The world background has some really good depth for a current 11-chapter story so I rate it as a solid novel, This Novel has quite the potential to make an impact so please keep writing author!
The story has potential. It is a bit slow at the start, but you can see the direction the story is going, and if done well this could be a great novel. There is some grammar mistakes that happen throughout, but mostly, you can just read past them. Best of luck writing!
Shameless author review, I began writing this novel let's say for some piece of mind. Honestly I don't have much to say. Hope you guys enjoy my story. Love you guys man, Thank you.....
The story is good so far and will hook the reader easily. One can tell that there was a lot of detailes considered with creating these characters. Roy is very well written MC.
Interesting , is what I'd like to say, but thats an understatement. The novel has potential to be great, and the writing style is good, minimal grammatical errors. I can't wait to see how it progresses. Keep it up author.
A good and steady story development. Good character development and clear writing style quality .
Wassup G Newbie novels' rating genius right here, Its a good novel Man. Can't expect any legendary out of the world grammar, it's simple but it works. Sometimes simple means good..... Other than that, good novel, excellent imo.... Well then, see ya
Well, tbh I loved it. The start was slow but the author explained that he likes his story slow and I respect that. The updates are slow too which makes me think Author is lazy XD But the story is excellent, world building is phenomenal. The sense of mystery shrouding the novel, really good. Must read.....
