A lowly child beggar, a noble prince, a monster viewed as the enemy of the entire world. If you possess all three identities at the same time, which identity would you choose to help you earn a better ending?
Thales did not have the answer.
He only knew that he came to a different and magnificent world, and he had to face a future that was as difficult to handle as a nightmare. The glorious Empire had already been destroyed for one thousand years, the dying royal family suffered many problems, the legendary sacred battle had plenty of conspiracies, the divided world was in chaos.
But Thales had nothing.
The only thing he had left was an unswerving determination to preserve his own identity, bravery which would allow him to survive in a perilous situation, and a belief that he would never submit to principles he did not believe.
“A King does not gain respect by virtue of his bloodline. The bloodline's glory rests on the deeds of the King.”
Darkness will baptize light. Fire will create true steel. The forbidden prince’s story starts here.
Guys this novel is literally on the level of a printed novel the character development is flawless its a bit darker than most novels you will encounter but it really drags out that excitement and on edge feeling cause you just worry about mc and the character are so well fleshed that everything they do has a reason and everyone has a motive where its not simply that they are dicks so the villains have an amazing depth to them that makes you understand them instead of simply hate them for their actions and if you like game of thrones you should give this a try from the way its developing i think courtyard politics is gonna be important and its not gonna be like normal novels where politics is important for two seconds before they just go back to survival of the fittest and mc just has a silver tongue and flawless analytical ability you need to give this a read if youre a fan of well written stories
Website: Qidian CN Status: Ongoing with about 460+ chapters Views: 2.48+ million Recommendations: 0.43+ million Rating: 8.6/10 from 1039 readers Author: 无主之剑(lvl 5), only one novel written by him. Discussion/reader's comments: 6626+ Genre: Sword and Magic fantasy I read this novel, the first few chapters and I can say it has a different feel. MC is a transmigrator and there isn't anything particularly special about him but he is trying to survive as a begger using his street smarts and experience along with few other kids while enduring brutal torture but foreshadowing suggests that he will soon turn up in the radar of a few important people for various reasons. The novel has a very bleak and dark tone.
Well... the synopsis definitely grabbed my attention with it being written so epic and tear dropping. I dont usually read kingdom building novels as it was never my cup of tea but I'll give this one a go. Hopefully it isn't like 'True Filler World' where it drags on forever and ever.

So have been reading this up to v2 cap 3 and I have to say it's some very mature/dark novel until now, after every chapter you want to know how the MC is going to cope, with the latest sh$t he is thrown into. I have some high hopes for this one ;)
Hey guys, this is the author, masterless sword(无主之剑). This is my webnovel id (yep, as a reader account instead of offical account, I duno why Qidian keep me from contacting the translator group for years so that I have to create an reader account on my own -- and pay the soulstone to read my own work in English on the app, just like everybody else). Just to let you know that I havent and will never drop my work on Kingdom's Bloodline, the story of Thales will continue til his end (or mine), at least in Chinese. Btw, I was never informed about the terminating of translation (its ok, the Qidian or Webnovel never told me anything about the online-selling situation oversea anyway, even when the translation started years ago). But pls feel free to contact me on my Weibo (weibo.com/u/6171559470) if u have any further questions, or you can just email me to 1615111844@qq.com. And yep, I can speak English.
Chinese reader, and I just finished all raw chapters released so far. Honestly, KB doesnt feel like a web novel but a printed one. BTW, I check author's Weibo(like Chinese twitter), seems he knows his novel translated in Webnovel.com, and he keep reading the Eng version as we do. But the funniest part is, the author says he cant keep up on the updated, coz he CANT afford the SS!
After marathon reading this, i can only say "WTF is this. This is soooo gooooodddddd" Reason? 1. MC is Smart and Witty 2. Mc identity make us expect a good and complex plot (a beggar, an illegitimate prince, and a mystic. Mystic is someone that people regard as calamity) 3. He solved problem with his brain, and this is not just face slapping among young master. And his brain isn't made of d1ck. Not harem seeking transmigrator 4. Author give us a really solid background story, so we can expect a really good story development and world background 5. This story is heavy at first, but slowly become more mild. Some comedic undertone, and some mystery is a good spice to make the story more engaging At first, i only voted this because other novel in what's next is too trashy. But now, after i tested it, i fall deeply in love with this novel I envy this novel future reader. The won't have to hang on the cliff with only around 30 chapter. They can have a feast and happily read this. Hahhh,,,
Better than the synopsis of the other 2... I really hope they drop novels that are too long on the pool... Those two romances seems like sh**... Sorry to those who like romance but it's the true...
First the story was good with Alot of world building but after reaching chapter 100 it gets old fast, the story is not moving at all despite the endless text walls, at this rate the main char is gonna stay a 7 year old for the next 1000 chapters. There are far to many different POWs from filler characters that hold no meaning to the overall story, this is the type of story you stop reading after 500 chapters cause you got tired of reading info text walls while waiting for the story to get juicy .
Seems like a dark fantasy, sing me up. Also there's not much choice this week unless you're a romance lover. That's double the motivation to vote for this novel.
Long time no see, this is the author. Just to let you know, the writing process is going well ( at least to some extents) except for occasional pauses( which is normal). Btw I create an Instagram account recent ly, to post some of my writing process updates. Feel free to contact me there if u like. Wish you all good! Yours, Masterless Sword, from China, 2021.02.01
Very good so far, interesting main character, interesting interpretation of magic and the weakness of the main character is clear in a non-obnoxious way. The first volume can be read here: https://pastebin.com/u/Broken_noodle
This novel is blood boiling. I want to make this as short and ****** as possible for I feel I could write a plethora of pages about this novel. It’s the closest Web Novel to reach the boundaries of an actual published book in that it uses many in-depth methods you would see in a great work of fiction. It has POV transitions. Where many web novels fail to give a perspective other than the protagonists, this novel does not fail and gives the reader the enjoyment of an interesting story with multiple facets to it. The world building in this novel ranks among the best I’ve ever seen of a web novel. It’s rich, inclusive to the plot, and so well written. I’m a personal fan of fictional histories and world building, and this novel hits all the spots. Perhaps most importantly is the cast of characters. The MC is a transmigration yet only has the benefit of some memories of his former graduate self. He is not powerful to the point that he impervious to threats and rather the opposite. I look forward to his growth, further use of his keen mind and eloquent verbal manipulation in dealing with the machinations that are pushing the kingdom to the precipice. And to accompany this protagonist and a great array of characters, fleshed out and interesting, helping and scheming against the protagonist. The villains in this are no slackers and defy the standard web novel villain that’s dumber than a stack of bricks. Of course, the great translation quality of this novel makes the novel just as much as the other factors. I’ve seen almost no errors in the translation and the structuring of the extensive word count that makes up a single chapter in this work is pleasing to say the least. It makes the story all the more wonderful to read. I’ll leave the story up to other reviews to spoil, but I say read it yourself. It isn’t fast, it’s paced more like a an actual novel rather than a web novel, but it will give a more enjoyable story overall. The 14 chapters a week release rate is enough to satisfy all but the most avid reader. I for one cannot get enough, but will endeavor to be patient.
This is a story review not a translation one. The translation is fine. For me its very boring, its also very confusing and jun** from one place to the next and ot has alot of info dumps. Theres also a lot of side character talk so if you like that good for you. The MC is a basic goodie to shoes caracter who is smart (when he appears of course half of the chapters are without him, i think side characters have had more screen time than the mc has) I would not call this movel dark only real. It has some dark sides but it is nothing compared to actual dark storys, theres also alot of how to be a good king and what being a good king means, but its just a bunch of bull**** comig frome someone who knows jack ****.
