Shadows of Alteria - Reviews

Similar to a webnovel I saw in the past, the chapters I read were fun. Some might not like it, but I recommend giving it a read first.     

Average novel with a bland story and characters so far what really kills it for me is a few spots that feel like in the original that something else was written but in this translation it is just a blank area

It has an amazing idea but the writing is kinda lacking something, and at the same time it has everything it needs ,but I feel like the execution is what is done wrong. Overall I recommend it its a good pass time.

this is the good Novel for the new author,keep it up

It is basically in the same class as tasty trash food. If you are fine with wasting your time and all the clichés you are used to and the weird reasonings or events that feel like the author had an idea and simply was rushing towards it rather than building and shaping a real world or a story that unfolds to them, it is a decent read.

first impressions after reading the first  50 chapters. So far an interesting story about a man who 'accidentally' found a cultivation technique that allows him to live for a very long time. After a long time of cultivation and pushing earth technology to an higher from the shadows he is discovered by some powerful creatures who guide him to leave earth and go to a dimension where humans cultivate. He is 'guided' to join a sect and start his cultivation journey.I like that the story is told in a different way than the cultivation stories from Chinese writers (different pacing, different starting point and route towards the furst cultivation steps, etc) while still being a cultivation story. It gives the story a fresh feeling (starting as sci-fi and changing into cultivation in a way not seen very often). What I also like is that although the mc is starting out with the mc receiving all kinds of 'plot armor' and lucky encounters it is told in such a way that it is not just luck that will make the mc strong, he earns it with smart choices. And on this platform one of the best things I could say is that so far I haven't seen an 'idiotic young master' type of character (I hate those characters bc they often get themselves and their family killed for the dumbest of reasons. They are called cannon fodder for a reason but more often than not it doesn't do the image of the mc in the eyes of the reader much good. An antagonist who acts out of logical reasoning make the main character look better when he defeats them)Not everything is great but so far I have only found minor things and not things like where the story and character development breaks world building. Think of things like sound in space, small mistakes that are also often made in movies and animation. And another thing that sometimes can be better is the distinction between narrator and character. When is the narrator talking about the mc, when is the narrator talking in general. In other words small things that could often be fixed with a slight restructuring of some sentences or paragraphs.The story is interesting, plays out in an interesting world and told in an entertaining way. I hope it can hold this energy in later chapters too.

Honestly I have an hard time enjoying this story. The whole back and forth between 40k and starship trooper is kind of breaking my immersion for the story. Wished you made two stories rather than 1.

"You're a Nara." He said flatly.

     As they went through the lines to order food Jazmin's mind kept repeating the question that Tristan had asked not too long ago. 'What did he mean by a door?' an unsettling feeling sank in the pit of her stomach. A feeling of danger ran through her body giving her chills as she looked at Tristan again for what seemed like the tenth time frowning. Overtaking her body she wrapped her arms around herself, zoning in on her movements Tristan side glances at her placing his arms around her, surprising her.  She looked at him as he stood beside her buying the tickets. 'Something doesn't feel right.' feeling her stare, Tristan turned to look at her, "Hey, why're you spacing?" Startled Jazmin laughed nervously, "I'm not spacing, I'm just people watching." with a small chuckle she turned her head slightly, ignoring his stare. With a laugh he turned around again and focused in front of him. 'God, why am I such an idiot?! I should have played it off better.' within a second she felt a shiver run up her spine.

"Alam mo Psalms siguro kaya walang lumalapit sa akin na manliligaw kase iniisip nila na boyfriend kita. Lagi kasi tayong magkasama tapos madalas ko pang hawakan ang kamay mo lalo na pag nasa labas tayo." tinaas niya yung magkahawak namin na kamay. "Tingin mo tama yung hinala ko?"
