Mother of Learning

I'm not great at writing reviews and I'm not going to pretend to be. I'll leave all the fancy explanations of grandeur to the people who can actually write their complex critiques online without making the potential reader hop on to different fictions.

All I can say is that this story is engaging, thrilling, and I can't wait to read more from this author in the future. Give it a go if you're interested in reading a refreshing perspective on a fantasy world.

It would take too much time to explain. All I can say is:

Read the first 4 chapters and you can then decide if you want to read or not. But know that this is a masterpiece, and one of the few completed novels out there with not only a great ending, but with an epilogue that really completes everything.

The quality never goes down, if anything, it only gets better and better. It's one of the best fantasy novels I have ever read, and way better than all of the other fantasy webnovels you can find on the internet.

Also, there is a chance the author will make a sequel and more world building articles/stories about this novel's world. So you might be looking at a new a extended fantasy world that will have some of the best fantasy stories out there.

Since every reveiw talks about all the best things, I thought I would just mention the problems I had with it.

The author has a lot of problems seprating Zorian/Author knowledge from the other characters, it would seem characters suddenly know what they previously did not, just because the author doesnt want to spend time rehashing the scence again. Kind of a problem with a Ground hog story.

similar to the above, characters will almost complelty abandon their devloped personiailties to talk and act the same way Zorian does....it will honesly seem like Zorian is just confirming things he already knows with himself, the problem being he is talking to one of the other major characters. Sometimes they arent even aware of the time loop when they are doing their best(unitended) Zorian impression.

Both of these problems seem to me like a author trying to rush parts out. Chapters 88-91 just confirm that, feeling like an author who has gotten tired of  his own story.

I still compeltly recommend reading it, because you will find few stories as good as this in the online novel genre.

I... Wow.

This is way more impressive than I thought it would be. I'm going to straight up say this author is as good as Worm's Wildblow.

This is a loop fic that somehow manages to be unrepetetive and original. I am, I admit, a speed reader. I finished reading chapters 1-100 today. I've read far enough to know that there is a wonderfully practical explanation for how the time loop works (okay, it needs magic, but it makes sense!) And am now biting my finger nails as the main character tries to foil the plot of the bad guy after they all escaped the time loop.

This is... wonderfully well done. I am grateful that I got the chance to read it. If the author publishes it as a book, I will gleefuly purchase it, doubly so if it's an audiobook.

Thank you, thank you so much for writing this. 

I honestly don't know if this person is a professional writer or not. I haven't looked into any background or anything at all.

What I do know is that this is undoubtedly a professional work. The only chapter I haven't read yet was the epilogue, which hasn't been released at the time of this review. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is a *book*. It's a long, sympathetic journey that hits common story beats with its own unique twists every once in a while, and not a single event in the story, growth of character, or conclusion the characters come to is without any reasonable buildup or foreshadowing.

Seeing this kind of journey through the eyes of one character is not something I have experienced in a long time. I can only describe it as sympathetic, relatable, and gripping. There were very few chapters out of this monstrous tome of a story that I felt disconnected, like the story was dragging on something not important, and even those moments, in the end or otherwise, were concluded masterfully.

World building was critical to this story - it all takes place in the neat time of a single month over and over again, of course, where the characters keep experimenting to find out what causes what. It was handled far better than most stories do. Not only are primary and secondary characters fleshed out and clearly driven, but tertiary characters that are never named have reasonable groundwork made for their actions before the story's climax - which is absolutely amazing.

As for writing quality, there are very few spelling errors or grammatical errors, maybe once per 5 chapters. I've read much better stories with more spelling errors that kept distracting me from the story itself and I am very glad this wasn't the case here.

Thank you, nobody103. I don't know any other name you go by, nor do I know of anything else you've written - but after this piece of art, I personally encourage you to continue writing, in this universe or another. As soon as I am able I am slamming some money down on whatever patreon or other crowdfunding towards you that I can find, and scouring your profile for more stories.

This is the bar that most webnovel authors should try to aim for to be even considered for a 5-star. It is solid writing on all fronts and will keep you wanting more. Go on, give it a read if you haven't already. 

I remember having read this on fictionpress quite a while back .and I'm ecstatic that you're moving it to here. This would have to be one of the best and most well executed time travel fictions, with so many things to keep the readers attention.

This definitely deserves to be amongst the top of the rankings.

Before I start let me say that I've read to chapter 102 and binged this thing in two weeks. With the epic saga it is that is saying something.  

Insane character development, awesome interactions and a great magic system make this a wonderful addition to my web-novel collection. 

initially there were some parrallels to harry potter but those influences soon fell out of place as the author quickly developed their own style and ideas. Turning this into a wonderfully original piece that I loved every minute of.  

five stars mate.

Why is this free?

I know there's been no update for a while and we're nearing the finale so it's a bit late to say this, but I'd pay good money for a hardcover of this work.

I can't write that much at the moment. I just want to say that if you read this, you will not be disappointed. One of the best groundhog day type of fantasy stories.
