There's a moment in these chapters where the aroma of meat wafts from every household and the Old Su family's courtyard transforms into this bustling little world of its own. Let me paint it for you: Old Mr. Su wiping the stone mill until not a speck of dust remains, Grandma Su rummaging through the bottom of a chest for hand-me-down clothes, Su Xiangdong grinding wheat in secret, the courtyard gate shut against the world. It feels like a film scene—warm light, steam rising from dumplings, the chaos of children everywhere. And then Su Jiu appears. She's been hidden away, and when Grandma Su finally brings her out, the entire room shifts. The text describes it like a beam of light hitting the space. Tang Qiwu forgets to eat. Xiaobao toddles over with a chicken leg. Even Su Xiangdong, who's been carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, feels his resistance melt. This is the visual payoff the author has been building toward since chapter one. The world feels incredibly lived-in—ration coupons, defective goods from the supply cooperative, cornbread and black flour porridge as the daily diet. You can taste the poverty and the warmth simultaneously. The New Year's Eve feast isn't just a meal; it's a triumph. Four dishes on the table—boiled dumplings, steamed sweet potatoes, chestnut stewed chicken, stir-fried sweet potato leaves—and yet the author makes you feel like this is the most lavish banquet in the world. That's skilled writing.
Forgot to mention the previous review that the wrtiting and worl building are some of the best i have seen, although the idea is old the execution is perfect, would definitely recommend all villain enjoyers give it a go
Alpha Shadows: Forbidden is very interesting! You have great quality writing—engaging and well-structured. Keep up the good work!
This book reminds me of Tensura, actually. Gotta keep this in lib lol
Shameless Author Here!All the messages and discussions should be under this.
After the first twelve chapters I realised this novel won’t improve to be worth reading. The MC seems to be the son of some goddess of lust, I’m not sure why she wasted her power on some waste with no self worth or ability.The MC is teleported by the principal into a dorm room and he gets put on the verge of death by one of girls. Afterwards he gets paired with the girl for a task he has to complete to join the academy and weasels his way out of getting killed by her by lying that she’ll fail if she attacks him. During a battle she powers a monster with her flame magic without realising and the MC decides to block the monsters retaliation with his body. Ultimately, the MC is a doormat with no self worth and is ready to throw his life away for anybody, including someone who wants to kill him.
I love how you start out in the beginning of the book and how you build the environment it's not just a gradual build up you leave allot of imagination on the table for us to take hold of as we read your story I'm really looking forward to reading more of this. you have a great start going here and you even give each character personality witch is rare to see this much of it in this much diversity. i also love how you went with a historical mythology version of dwarfs that have an accent really allowing you to pull the reader into your world. from what I see your story here has great potential and could probably take one of the top spots with time. i can't wait to read more and i wish you the best.
i like this story a lot sure there are a few things that can be improved but that is with every story so i say give it a try and i like the way how everything is explained but t do think maybe a few more details would make for a better thing for readers to think about
Finally .............................
I have no words
I Wouldn't Wanna Be Stuck In Bunker No.11 Would I? Good Read, Looking Forward To Finishing All Chapters.
W story really enjoyed this as a someone's first story it was great. A solid journey of struggles with self-discovery, the character of Dalton felt really human, he has his flaws and it feels like it showed throughout the story. All the homies lowkey hate Vanessa though.
