Dark Lord: Rise to Power
This is the tale of Arin, a once kind-hearted and gentle child, now a man hardened by the cruelty of society and the brutal trials of life—a man transformed into a ruthless criminal, devoid of mercy. As his world was collapsing, fate transported him to a new realm. This world, more vicious and savage than his own, was steeped in magic and dark mysteries.
Ironically, it was in this fearsome world that Arin, now an undead being, began to rediscover his lost humanity. Through battles and bloodshed, amidst the clash of sorcery and steel, he started to reclaim the compassion he once hated. This is not just a story of survival but a saga of transformation. Follow Arin’s journey as he rises to power, determined to become the ruler of this harsh world. In a twist of fate, he now seeks to save the very humanity he once wanted to destroy.
Hello there, as tradition goes, this is another shameless review by a shameless author. However, it is less of a review and more about what you can expect from this first creation of mine. I am a fan of both TradNovel and WebNovel, and you will find hints of that in my work. Whether it is 'Best of Both Worlds' or 'Worst of Both Worlds,' it is up to you to decide, my dear readers. Of course, my story is an Isekai with an orphan, an edgy guy; but he is not overpowered, very intelligent, or smart. He is often cowardly, makes arrogant mistakes, and overestimates himself. Fair warning,- this story has a strong theme of romance. But it is no smut or harem. Rather, think of it as an action-adventure of two friends who have romantic feelings towards each other. There is often romantic tension between them. But they are not going to confess their love to each other (at least not in near future). Love here is another power for my Characters, just like the famous 'Power-of-Friendship'. This is mainly the story of Arin's journey to regain his humanity, as well as build his own power, an empire for himself, and unearth the secret of this universe eventually. I really hope you will enjoy reading this, just like I am enjoying writing this. Would love to hear from you, my dear readers.
It's got a lot of potential but I can't stand the writing style (thats on me). The characters are a bit two-dimensional, they all seem to speak the same (in other words, it's like the author is speaking through them. They aren't quite their own people, ifykwim). I even skipped to the end but it doesn't seem to be fixed. The prose is all right even though it seems befitting for a trad novel. The plot develops at a normal pace. The vibes remind me of JJBA. I do hope the author fixes the formatting since it's hard to read on phone. In any case, I would recommend this book when it's reached a few hundred chapters. Good luck, author
One of the best webnovel I have ever read bro, keep writing mate. I really like the mc, but plz make him and anti hero with no redemption arcs later. :3
