Summary

... Read More

Earth suffered apocalypse. All electronics over the world were destroyed. War and famine ravaged the lands. When humanity tried to rebuild, they discovered that most technology no longer worked. The laws that governed the world had changed!

Steam technology rose in popularity after the apocalypse. Humanity entered a new golden age. Then, the seven nightmares attacked. Espers with strange powers appeared. Mutants took over most of the world. This was the beginning of the Mana Apocalypse!

My name is Edward Tesla and I was born during the Mana Apocalypse. This is my story about trying to protect everything I care about in this living hell. My inventions will defeat the nightmares and save the world! Steam rifles, steam tanks, and steam mechs. My inventions will surpass them all!

Extra Note from the author: Some of the early chapters are a bit rough and need rewritten. Most of the long-term fans come from Chapter 21 and up. I guarantee the story continues to improve from there as you continue reading. Political factions, wars, steam tech, mana mysteries, and more. Though the story starts in America, it also visits China, Europe, Africa, and other areas of the world later on.

Of course I'm giving myself five stars. I would say this is the best story ever written, but this is the 2nd novel I've started. So I suppose we will say it tied for first place with my other novel! Haha, in all seriousness please leave reviews with your thoughts guys! Thanks!

Not enough world back ground I feel like this is a mix of full metal alchemist world with the seven deadly sins homunculus but there called the seven nightmares. .... many stolen names and ideas from other famous creators shows that you could have just made up yourself to save the trouble. Literally have one punch man written word for word in your novel bro that’s just plain stealing. Forced plot of moving from one organization to another to fast no consistent power scaling literally everyone is at the same power level. Trash mc being put through so much stressed to further your plot cause you don’t know how to write a story just about him. Too many full metal alchemist rip offs what was the point of having all his arms and legs ripped off bro do you know what phantom limb pain does to you I don’t care how strong. A rapper is you should be going through something when you forcibly get your limb cut off.
Dad forced to die Cause no one orginization can keep him safe for long.
My advice to you is stop stealing sit down for a second and make your own story bro cause I’ve read it somewhere else

The story made me read it fast because it keeps on adding my curiosity. So I didn't bother looking for grammar and spelling errors.
Stability of updates: excellent. 5 CH now in a period of 5-6 days?

Story development: the MC just started to develop his abilities, couldn't say more since it's only starting.

Character design: like what some people on the comment said, mc is somehow like deku. A bullied kid>got powers>his bully came with him on the academy>they will become enemies.

Fun Prediction: they're going to be friends in the future?

Wonderful novel: definitely my new top original. I love the steampunk ideas and themes. I am glad you did not drop it after the contest: keep writing pls.

I like the OP MC and his goals. His abilities are srsly ridiculous. The factions in the wotld are messed up: like nearly everyone is cruel. But its the apocalypse so I guess thats ok.

Mc seems to hold up ok after going through terrible situations.

I do wish he would lay low for some time and build up his power. Like why does he always keep trying to join/start a faction. He could wander for a while. And maybe even stockpile weapons in a hidden warehouse with his abilities.

Nothing too adventurous, since a lot of the themes are very familiar, but the writing quality is better than most. Sadly the plot development and writing style is quite immature, often childish, lacking descriptions in some places, and thrusting the reader too quickly into new events and new characters with almost zero build-up in others. Even then it was ok until plagiarized characters started turning up in the story, totally ruining it.

I do enjoy a cheeky little homage, with a little wink wink nudge nudge here and there, but bringing it up more than once is obnoxious. Just have your moment and move on, let the reader at least pretend you didn't steal a character, other-wise just tag it as fan-fiction so those of us expecting some originality can bypass it. Blatant plagiarism totally ruins a story for me, and I just can deal with it. Just don't do it, guys. Just don't.

Read it until chapter 20 and i can only say that the mc is dumb and weak. He has such a strong power buy he doesnt use it to its full potential. Its like the author likes to make his mc suffer and undermine him. I'd rather have Dupe as the mc or even Jake, thousands of times better than a typical xianxia-like villain character which the mc has.
