Enjoyed the series

So I totally ended up hinging this entire series this week all based off of book 1. Really good bones and has potential to be a great in the genre.

Great start to a series

I've been looking for a book where the MC is a lightning user for a long time but now it seems that I have found it, and it's great.....Now it's time to dive head first into book 2

Loved this book.

Wonderful characters and storytelling. Narration was fantastic. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Pretty good

It was pretty good some parts cringy as they are talking about 8 year old children but you stick through it hoping there is some time skip… there isn’t, so the narrator had to pends lots of time with kids voices which he did his best at it’s just difficult. But overall it leaves it in a good place to go on to the second story and hopefully he is older and soon can hear the narrators use more normal voices

It's a decent story

I quite enjoyed it. It feels like a nice power progression fantasy, slightly held back in pacing because of the characters young age, but it does unfold nicely. Could do with less descriptions of all the "gorgeous and beautiful" 10 year old girls the MC ran into though...

Interesting idea, unrealistic dialog and too much spoon feeding.

The concept is interesting. The dialog feels to modern 1990s and unrealistic for a bunch of 8-12 year olds. If they were all child geniuses akin to Enders game then maybe but even then the author spoon feeds too much to the reader.

The author should read On Writing by Steven King and apply much of his teaching. It will take this story to a much greater level.

just creepy and weird

The narration was fine, and overall the story wasn't awful. From the beginning the whole thing seemed creepy and weird. It was like Family Guy's creepy neighbor, but for every relationship.

Copy and Paste Plot

It reads like any one of dozens of cultivation books typical of the genre. Boy gets orphaned. Finds a talisman/item/ring/weapon that has a spirit. Spirit teaches them overpowered techniques. Boy uses techniques to get revenge on people that wronged him. They even included the trope of an overweight sidekick. It's all very banal.

generically predictable for this genre of story. I didn't even need to finish it.

so it's a wuxia style story with all that entails. it's got everything you'd expect and absolutely nothing new no innovation no twist it's the plain chip of Wuxia. if you like it enjoy it but don't go in expecting more than the usual from this genre, also there's nothing isakai here.
