Shattered Sovereign

I've just started this book but the novel concepts, polished and immersive writing style, vivid imagery, pacing, and well fleshed out relatable characters and interactions and above all the ability to wrench the heart for people that have never existed have pushed it to the top of my list and I would give this book six stars if I could.

A unique premise and I really like the mysteries of the world they have going, and we have only visited 2 main locations so far! You can really feel what kind of character our MC was despite the amnesia through the fragments that burst forth and their reactions to various things, such as how far 'humanity' (including elves, dwarves and sapiens [us]) have fallen.

Now, I know it says "AI-Generated Content" but I've checked it using multiple ai content testers and it's only assisted at most. Around 25% AI was the highest value i got, so don't worry about it being AI slop.

As for the book itself, it has a very unique premise that's well executed.

I stumbled across this whilst looking for something new to read, with the description I thought (wrongly) this would just be another 'Monster in a Human World' type Story.

Instead I found an interesting and intricate character, one who despite appearances has genuine heart. This is a well written story, and does a very good job of portraying a being that is struggling to come to terms with who and what they are in a world where many would kill them just for being what they are. Each of the characters introduced so far are unique and well written, fleshed out with all the foibles and quirks that come with being 'Human'.

Grammar wise, there's no issues, and the prose flows very well from scene to scene. As the other reviewers have pointed out the usage of AI is kept to a minimum, allowing the Authors style to shine through. 

Honestly I cannot recommend this story enough, and cannot wait to see what the Author has planned as the story unfolds.

Grimdark at the heart, a world of horror and desolation. Small patches of eden surrounded by waste lands, with humans being monsters as much as the beasts they fight to survive against. 

The style is rather good, interesting system for leveling with some clear limitations that help build upon the world. I'd say that it starts to get better as it goes on so don't lose heart of you don't enjoy it at first. Author may use A.I for some assistance but you can tell that there is a human hand in the emotions shown inside. The chapters are of a length that you should be able to catch up pretty easily, I'd say read the first 20 before giving up and looking someplace else for the story.

Cant talk on the story without the character. We have a limbless abomination that has a heart of gold. Even if he outwardly appers to be a monster, he is one of the most human characters in a destroyed world. With small hints and secrets of his past uncovered as the story goes on. Fighting like a pure animal at points, regret for the lose of life and a hunger to member who he is.

After I read the first few chapters and the world started to really build, I couldn’t stop reading until I was caught up. An amazingly addictive story that borders on slow burn but gives enough that you can’t stop. Highly recommend reading this to at least chapter 7 or beyond.

A solid story that moves quickly, grows nicely, and hits deeply. 

I think the world building is good and intriguing, with interesting mysteries. 

The magic seems to be a pretty standard system lit RPG, but still interesting to see and work within. I think I like the amount of flexibility MC has, both within the system and within their skills. 

I like the relationships that MC forms, and the difficult challenges they face on that path. 

The mystery of the past is intriguing as well. 

There are a few times where I feel like the author gets a bit more poetic, more often, than they need to. E.g. ending a chapter with a dramatic statement like 

It's not bad exactly, just not what I personally love with how often it's done. 

As said by other review, the writting style is good and the different characters are reasonably complex, if a bit cliché.

My main problem with this story is that there is no explanation nor limit for all the abilities the MC gain. In 15 chapters it already happened 4 times that the MC just strongly whished for something and then gain the ability he wants just like that.

Minor spoiler : by chapter 15 the MC is immortal, indestructible, can dissassemble any non-living object, can create any complex object/construct, can gain control and perfect proficiency with any number of mechanical limbs and can communicate with any sapient being. All of that at will and with no cost to himself. And no effort inviolved nor explanation. And no sign he will stop gaining new abblilities anytime soon.

What is even the point ?

Another unique story that leaves me waiting for more. No seriously it’s great so far I recommend giving this a check I really this enjoy this take on a new kind of monster. Grammar looks good like my friendly fellow reviewer mentioned the ai tag is only minimal use on some sentence structuring but other then that it’s a fun new original to read that I look forward to.
