It is said that Garlan, believed to be the child of destiny, returned to his distant past life in order to break the curse that ensured his death upon reaching adulthood. He valiantly battled his arch-enemy, vied for the throne, and sought to save a kingdom on the brink of destruction. However, he was defeated by his arch-enemy four times. Upon being reborn once more, he felt incapable of defeating his nemesis and was determined to escape, yearning for a life of freedom and happiness.

Yet, in this lifetime, his former arch-enemy became a loyal follower. Pushed by the people around him, he unwittingly embarked on the treacherous and glorious path to the throne, filled with thorns and honor. A millennium later, the song of the “Wise King” still echoed throughout the land.

This story depicts the journey of a reborn youth who, with the support of numerous followers and the protection of his once-enemy-turned-loyal-ally, gradually transformed from a young prince into a wise and noble ruler.

The writing in this text is delicate, with an intriguing and captivating plot that maintains a sense of grandeur. It subtly carries the style of ancient European and Eurasian epic legends, with meticulous descriptions of scenes and emotions, creating vivid imagery. Through the words, one can experience the distinct charm of the fantasy Eurasian era.

Each character in the story possesses distinct traits, and the interactions between the protagonist and his ally are filled with sweetness and charm.

I read this a month ago and recently signed up. I'm having trouble starting my review because the story is truly incredible. Let's begin with Garland, the protagonist. The way the novel portrays him as strong and independent, despite not resorting to violence, is captivating. His growth throughout the narrative is impressive, and the depiction of his four previous lives and their impact on his current decisions is fascinating. The characters are well-developed, each with unique traits that make them likable and inspiring.

The plot is another highlight – every twist and turn kept me engaged, from heart-wrenching moments to joyful ones. The story's emotional depth, despite some minor inconsistencies, thoroughly satisfied me as it unfolded, capturing the essence of kingdom-building and the loyalty among its inhabitants. It even managed to tug at my heartstrings in certain parts.

While the ending left me slightly disappointed, I can understand that a reunion might serve the characters better. And let's not forget how much I admire Camos for his leadership and brotherly qualities.

In summary, this book is a fantastic read, full of engaging characters and a compelling plot that kept me hooked until the end.

I must express my genuine longing for the previous translator; the current one seems to be more of a literal translator, providing machine-translation (MTL) with inconsistent naming conventions. It's like having a disappointing aftertaste following the delightful translations we had before. Despite this, I'm still thoroughly enjoying the novel, which is why I endure the poor quality. What吸引我的是主角并不万能(除了他的外貌),即使面对危险,他也会感到恐惧但依然勇往直前。这样的主角令人钦佩,让人期待他成长和故事的进展。

I appreciate how each character possesses a distinct imperfection. King Camos exhibits clear bias towards Garlan, while Garlan comes across as a spoilt child with an unresolved complex towards Heimos. Furthermore, Ziemuer's intense sense of duty has historically caused hardships for Garlan. The storyline's progression captivates me, and at times, Garlan's actions personally provoke frustration.

I'll keep it brief: an excellent novel. The characters are endearing, with the main character attempting to be unfeeling but ultimately compassionate, always reaching out to help others. Although there's still much more to come, the story has been captivating so far.

Now, addressing the technical aspect: There are instances where the consistency of character names appears unclear, whether due to the translator or the author. Names fluctuate between Kamos, Camus, Keimus, Heymus, and Haymus, causing confusion at times. For instance, a spoiler follows:

In one chapter, Garlan is kidnapped, and when the main lead (ML), Heymos, discovers this through interrogation, the text mentions Garlan's dilated pupils. But how could this be, since Garlan wasn't present? It raises questions about consistency.

The translator's work seems to lack coordination, either through outsourcing or multiple contributors using the same pen name, leading to errors and inconsistencies. These minor details make the reading experience slightly challenging and perplexing. Despite this, the novel remains outstanding and a top priority for me. If these discrepancies were corrected, it would greatly enhance the story. If you can overlook them, I highly recommend giving it a read; you won't be disappointed.

"Stars! This book was truly exceptional! The characters and the depth of world-building are simply incredible - it's outstanding! I found myself shedding tears at certain parts, it evoked such strong emotions that I was taken aback. I cannot praise the author enough for creating such a masterpiece! I am deeply in love with this novel – I mean, I really, really love it. The characters and their journey have captured my heart. I adore the historical ambiance the story conveys; exploring ancient civilizations is truly fascinating.

Although the plot might appear clichéd at first glance, it's anything but! There's far more to Galland's quest for revenge against Hymos than meets the eye. And let me rave about the character development – Prince Galland, King Camos (my heart aches), Hymos, and Nega... When Galland finally ascended, I couldn't help but imagine it like Simba's triumphant climb to the Pride Rock in 'The Lion King.' The emotions were overwhelming!

King Camos' storyline... well, you'll just have to read it for yourself. This novel has set the bar high, and I fear I won't find another like it anytime soon. If anyone knows similar novels, especially shounen-ai or even well-written het romances with male protagonists, but open to female leads too, please do share! I need to collect myself after this emotional rollercoaster."
