Forgotten Histories
Humanity is broken. Their cities are dust, their warriors long fallen. The monstrous Beasts and their godlike Beastkin masters rule with an iron grip, and hope is little more than a forgotten whisper.
But legends are not born from comfort. They are forged in blood, in fire, in the will of those who refuse to kneel.
Rowan was nothing—a nameless child in the slums, another soul crushed beneath the weight of a dying world. But from the depths of despair, he rose. Not for glory. Not for vengeance. But to tear down the chains that held mankind in servitude.
And when the dust settles, the world will remember one truth.
Rowan the Mighty does not bow.

Hey guys! This is the start of my first ever novel. I am exited to start this journey with you. If you have any critique or suggestions please write a review, so I can improve as an author. You can treat this comment as a Q&A.
Update as of chapter 29; The Vote - The Author is cooking on this one, although it is quite slow tbh, but you can feel it that the author is really taking his time building his characters, especially the Mc. So here is my opinion: Writing quality: 4.5/5 Although it might be a slightly more difficult to read, but I personally feel like it really suits the story, the writing in question is a bit poetic, maybe even too much in some instances, but in the second arc it starts to simplify, I feel like it was intentional.. to set the tone of the arc. My opinion, yours might differ Updating stability: 5/5 I mean what is there to say, one chap a day, sometimes 2-3. As is it the Authors hobby at this point in time it is good. Keep it up. Story development: 4/5 I feel like the author is playing around too much. The pacing could be better, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. I mean as of right now it seems to be around 20-30 chaps with 1.5k - 2k word count for an average arc, so decide for yourself. If you are searching for a brain rot novel that you turn your brain down and read, this might not be for you. This is a journey of not only action, but emotions, bonds and so much more. Characters: 4.5/5 Maybe I’m biased, but I feel like the characters are good, The Mc especially in the latest chapters. He’s smart, but is still lacking. Not like the perfect Mc’s you sometimes encounter. While he is cold and doesn’t hesitate to slice at a dude, we still haven’t seen him in action properly, but that is why I’m exited for this arc. The side cast is good, although it could be a little more fleshed out. My personal favourite would be either Talia or Handy. Well we’ll see where the author takes this. Also what I have to mention. I really like the dialog of this work. Sometimes it might be too much, but it really reflects the dark world they live in, don’t worry its not edgy or "deep" 😂 World Building - 3/5 - for now Well although we still haven’t seen much of it, because we are still stuck in the slum. I believe the next arc might delve into that a little bit more. There was a hint of a Major conflict with the Beast, for now it seems a little bit generic conflict... But I’ll let the author cook. Maybe it’ll be a giant surprise waiting for us. Power system: 4/5 The power system is a generic mana/spells/elements but the Author could be hiding something in his sleeve. I mean there’s nothing wrong with it, I like such stories, but there is also nothing much to see. But again, we’re still in the beginning and haven’t seen much, so there could be way more waiting for us. Also there are Gods apparently, that actually exist and can grant power? if I understood it correctly. I give 5 stars because the book really deserves some exposure. Great work author, keep up the good work :)
Although It’s good, if you release a few more chapters, it might become interesting enough for a lot of people to read. There is one major problem with this: The POV’s, you said there from chapter 6th onward, that there would only be first person view, but the next two chapters are literally 3rd person again😂 But if you fix this and do all the chapters in first person, it’ll be great. I feel like the writting start’s to get a lot better at chapter 10, so keep reading till that. But it got potential, I’ll say that. Good read👍. Author just don’t fuck it up.
Seems decent enough. Drop a 100 chapters. Seriously keep it up brother, if this had a 100 chapters more I believe that it would be one of the better stories on this app.
Sounds interesting, keep it up brother.
