The Rise

No words can explain how intense this is. I have nothing more to say so

Hi - this is the author with a quick review. When I started writing this story I wanted to write something that was deep and impactful. I didn't want to just write a quick web story to get out an idea - but I wanted to make something that could stand on its own and that I would come back to after many years an still be proud of. So in this story - expect there to be a detailed and hopefully thrilling ride with characters you'll love, hate and fear. Please let me know what you think with a review and comments - thanks for reading!

The world in this story becomes more and more deep and interesting as it goes on. It draws you in from the beginning but keeps you reading. There are some slow chapters but it pays off hugely as the story develops. It's exciting and well-built. Also the characters aren't just pawns, they all seem to have their own motivations and are complex in their own right which makes their interactions all the more enticing. The clear critique is that there are slow chapters, but if all the chapters tried to be exciting without giving room for development, it may become less impactful when things pay off. So I'm fine with those chapters.

A high quality story that draws your interest in like a succubus in heat and tightly holds your attention. It is fun and thrilling. Instead of being dry, the politics are juicy and full of flavour. I highly recommend reading this novel.

A strong well thought out story with twists and turns that will keep you on your toes. It takes no shortcuts and doesn't give the main character superpowers - everyone is human and real and they all affect each other in real meaningful ways. Highly recommended.

What I have gathered from reading this first few chapters is as follows. The writing quality is quite high and the story development is extremely strong. However, as is the case with most original novels on Qidian, the story flows too fast, not leaving enough time for the reader to take it all in through the large paragraphs of information. Hence I suggest making your paragraphs smaller. The character design could use a little improvement, mainly in the sense of increasing the back stories of the various characters . But the world background is also quite good and fairly fleshed out. Good job if this is your first novel, I'll be favouriting this one.
