  • Lking If you'd like to try fantasy without system, do take a look at my book. There's still not much chapter but do try it out :D

    Title: The Shopmaster
    Genre: Fantasy (Male-Lead)
    Synopsis:
    It has been 300 years since the world’s Global Outbreak.
    Humanity survived the ordeal and order has been reestablished.
    The old Earth was no more as it was replaced with a new age of swords, magic, and new adventures.

    Jake and Jen, a pair of siblings who wish to live a peaceful life, decided to open a general store that sells a variety of items to make a living and live a stable life.

    While hiding the fact that it's Jake’s third life, can they really live the peaceful and stable life they wished for?

    • Denver_Devil I'm not sure if my MC can be classified as a "Hero" but I'm sure he is not dumb haha. It's got comedy, magic, battles, love, and possible emotional scene (hopefully).

      Feel free to check the first few chapters to see if it suits your taste :D

      Here's a short synopsis for the novel.

      • Hello everyone, I'm back here again for some review swaps :D!
        I've gotten one from Epyonnn the other day but would love to hear some more feedbacks about my novel.
        I will appreciate it if you can spare some time to read my store.
        *Also, do leave me the link to your novel after the review so I can also check out your novel :)

        Here goes nothing.

        • I think it's best to restrict the forum for posting and commenting to level 2+ users but keep the novel visible to other users to find relevant information. The newbie can use the forum to find information through the post and suggestion and the forum won't be filled by spams or idiotic messages.

          Honestly, getting to level 2 is not hard for real, non-spam, users. Haha its just my thoughts though

        • Big_Boi_6768 Hi there, not sure if you're still looking for a recommendation but here goes nothing. Feel free to take a look if you have some time :)

          • Epyonnn I have read the first 7 chapters of the novel and here's my view as an amateur. :)

            Honestly, there's nothing that I can say about the delivery and grammar. It was awesome to the point that I am thinking of re-reading them whenever I got stuck in my writing. Even more so when it was written in the first POV :D I love how you expressed the character's mentality in the earlier chapter, including the build-up that leads to the current situation. I believe it helped me understand the MC in a personal level.

            Here's my personal opinion about the story:

            The prologue was... awesome. You showed a short 'shocking' scene before giving a flashback on how the character ended up in that situation. It did a wonderful job of setting up the world while introducing the characters in the most immersive way possible. I believe, many movies out there used this technique to open their scenes. The recently released, "Cruella" is one of them.

            The characters, I can only say that I'm ecstatic with the quality of the read :D.

            I have yet to read the main content of the story but I believe it will be as great as the opening. I'm expecting a detailed world, seen through the eyes of our MC. The story will probably take some dark turns but I hope to see more character building from the MC. I'll be cheering him on!

            To conclude, your writing is first class! The story was also very engaging to the readers, can't wait to read more :)

            P.S
            Honestly, I found it a bit funny when I realized that you used an anagram to name your God of Chaos and Order. There were also a good amount of references to other works, engaging me to read further. The one I personally recognize is the "Temptation of Thanatos" and "My body plummeted, racing to the night below". :D

            • Epyonnn Wow, thanks a lot for the detailed feedback!

              I agree with you that it might be a bit weird that after the 10 years gap. The idea crossed my mind but I went against it, thinking that the context of using the diary is mostly for the man to throw his frustration. I hope it was alright though :)

              And btw, I'm really surprised that you actually got part of the plot correct haha. It wasn't exactly the same as you mentioned but it was very close :D Does that mean I'm a fan of cliches? :O

              May I have the link to your novel? It is a review swap and I'd like to thank you for the feedback :D

              • Epyonnn Thanks :D Really appreciate it. And yeah, Gojo is awesome :D

                • Hello everyone, new author here. I would like to ask for an honest review swap if possible. My novel only has 4 chapters currently so it would be nice to hear some feedback for motivation and to strive for improvements.

                  I would like to read your novel too! I don't have any preferences but I usually read fantasy genre so I might not be of much use for others. I will still give my honest feedback :)
                  Just mention me when you me the feedback :).

                  • Hello!

                    Here I am for my shameless promotion.

                    If you're interested in the fantasy/action genre without a system, do check out my story! Only the prologue is up currently but I'm planning to update 2-3 chapters every week!

                    If you're familiar with me, this is a reworked version of my old novel with the same name, released in late 2019. I wasn't able to continue my old version due to some problems in real life and decided to do a major revamp to the background of the novel.

                    Note: The novel will use different perspectives using a 1st person view / 3rd person view depending on the situation.

                    • Beyond_Redemption Hi, I'm going to shamelessly promote my novel then.

                      It's been a while since I write but I did have a year blank and my book is a remake from the previous version. Here's the link to the book: https://www.webnovel.com/book/11341109205343905/The-Shopmaster

                      Here's a short description of the book:
                      Title: The Shopmaster
                      Genre: Fantasy
                      Synopsis:
                      Your typical story where a young man was summoned to another world and began his journey as a hero to save the world. Sylvester Atkins, was summoned from Earth into a fantasy world called Aestes.

                      A place full of man’s dream and fantasy.
                      A place where magic became normal.
                      A place where monsters roamed the world.
                      A place where the strong reigns.

                      In a place like that, Sylvester gained power and eventually, fame.
                      He experienced many trials, life and death fight, and managed to come as the victor.
                      With his strength, he saved the world from the twelve calamities.
                      However, Sylvester lost everything in the end, including his life.

                      “Ah… I can finally rest…”

                      However, a power unknown to him took a root inside his soul.
                      The power revolves around his body as it discovered the absence of the soul.
                      The effect of the power was enormous, twisting time and space, changing one’s fate.
                      Jake woke up once again, in a familiar world.

                      ==
                      It's an old novel but I decided to remake it recently. I would love a new honest review for the book!
                      Thanks!

                      • Hey there, do you have some quota left for this week?
                        If yes, would it be possible to make one for me too? Thank you so much. :)

                        What the novel is about:
                        A man was summoned from Earth to be a hero in a certain world and was sent back to a world similar to Earth, a parallel one, where there are monsters and dungeons around the world. Basically, a modern world with monsters. The Protagonist eventually got a system that requires him to manage a shop and a guild at the same time. All this while thinking of a way to get stronger, fast. Because he managed to find a clue to a similar disaster from the previous world he was sent to. The Protagonist managed to inherit 12 powers from that world, which he brought to this one.

                        Ideas:
                        Honestly, if possible. I would like the background to be some kind of fantasy shop and stuff, but I don't mind it too much. The main character's appearance doesn't really matter but I would like to request for the hair color to be silver. For the last request, I would love it if there is something that can represent the 12 power he got. The rest, I will leave it to you.

                        Thanks man, I really appreciate it.
