Aeromancer

I was enjoying this story a lot. Then the author dropped it without warning because he became a religious fanatic. Dont waste your time on a story that will not be finished. Its a massive dissapointment and a great shame that so many talented authors on this site either get lazy or just change their mind about writing without giving a conclusion to their story.

Author lost his mind and found god that wants from him unconditional love and devotion. Pack it up boys and remeber: "last person turns off the light".

I find that the uniqueness of the story and characters are both very enjoyable and a good chance of pace from what is usually found on RoyalRoad. I look forward to reading more.

--updated August 13th

I cannot in good faith give this work higher than 1 star after the author has seemingly dropped it. While well written with an enjoyable plot it is not worth your time to read to the current cliffhanger; with what appears is as of today's update the end of the story.

Update 8/20/18:  The author has dropped the story and has indicated they will not be writing futher here or anywhere else. The story was very enjoyable, but please do not start, since there will most likely not be a conclusion to this story.

Exceedingly well thought out, the story is a masterpiece. Few stories on the site make me as giddy to keep reading as this one does. Although the tag states fantasy and magic, this story honestly reminds me more of a classic superhero story, where each person's abilites have slight quirks to them. The term heros and villains are left out, and in replace of those we have the Mafia families and the Shepherds. Bt everything isn't always black and white.

Like Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender, our protagonist turns a disability into an overwhelming advantage. The magic system is very well done, and every character feels alive and fleshed out. The quality of writing is spectacular, and it would not surprise me if this became published.

I enjoy it when weak ability users overcome their obstacles by being tactical, similar to Taylor's in wildbow's Worm, who can only control insects. How does someone compete against superman-level powers with such a weak ability? By thinking outside the box.

I originally found this story on FictionPress, where I read it up to the current release which matches up to the current on RRL as of today  (18th July).  Overall I rate it so highly because it is INSPIRED. The magic system is reminisicent of a few others but has a charm all of it's own as well as a large amount of intresting interactions.

Grammar, I didn't notice any startling mistakes. The most I could point out would be the occasional wrong tense or missed comma. As a whole it does not affect the story and reads well.

Style. The story is told in a manner that gives detail where detail is needed and no more than that. It isn't flowery bullshit, It gets straight to the gritty and I love that about it.

Story Score: See previous.

I love this story. I hope that it continues to be written to as high of a standard as it currently it, if that is the case I would have no issue buying it on amazon or elsewhere once it's ready for release.

Another victim of cult brainwashing...

This was a great fiction,   But the author got into some catholic cult and dropped it.

This is my first review on this site, but I believe this story is well worth reviewing. The following review is based on the first 14 chapters,

To start, the main character is not massively overpowered like many of the MC on this site, but that said he certainly has the potential to be far down the road. The world is surprisingly fleshed out already, with a coherent magic system and background lore that was dolled out in such a way that you aren’t being smacked in the head with endless exposition. Most of the characters seem fairly fleshed out and there rarely seem to be characters that seem to be evil for the sake of being evil. 

Relatively slow start, and so far there is relatively little action, but what has been done has been done well. However, I have a strong suspicion that the action will pick up a lot in the next few chapters. 

Grammar, spelling, etc is excellent so far as I can tell, especially in comparison to most novels on this site. Top 99% on this site. 

Really enjoying the story so far and really look forward to how it progresses in the future. Would recommend. 

While this a good read, there is one thing I'd like to mention. The apparent (emotional) age of the mc feels inconsistent.  In the beginning, he acts like an 18-year-old.  Then comes the immaturity, and he looks to be around 16 years old.  By the 12th chapter or so, the emotional instability combined with people looking down on him makes him feel like a 10 to 13-year-old.  I know this is part of the storyline, but a little reinforcement of the fact that he is actually going into the equivalent of college would be a very welcome addition.  Furthermore, I believe a bit more maturity would not hurt the emotional portion of the plot at all.

Overall score: 4 stars: A good magic/fantasy novel with a rather realistic combination of medieval and futuristic settings.

Style score: 4 stars: Enjoyable flow.  A downside would be the importance placed on terms and alternate terms.  There was a little excessive repetition here and there, but nothing serious.

Story score: 4 stars: See Overall score

Grammar score: 4 stars: Almost impeccable grammar.  There were two instances of "you're" being used in the place of "your."  Possibly others, as I read very quickly.

Character score: 3.5 stars: See the big wall of text up at the top.

Notes: 4 stars is as high as I am willing to go without a "perfect" novel, so please forgive the rather low ratings.  Chapters are rather long, so keep that in mind.

I rarelly ever do reviews, but this one deserved it. Excelent world building, with lots of particular aspects carefully explained, the characters have diferent and well-defined personalities, the grammar is excelent and the MC isn't outright overpowered, although his circumstances give him a very unexpected edge in this universe.

Even though it's still on chapter 14, I can see this universe has immense potential, and the author has lived up to it so far.
