Pleasant surprise
This story was a pleasant surprise. The transition into the world feels a little abrupt but Althea, our MC is likeable and fun to read about. It's early on and we are just being introduced to the world but there is a solid story in here.
The grammar, style, characterization and worldbuilding are all excellent.
You can tell the author has put a lot of thought into this. I look forward to following this story.
Give it a shot.
Good story but frustrating
It's a well told story with few errors in grammar.
Be warned it's one of those stories that cripples the MC before they really start their journey.
We get 10 chapters in with the MC having damaged his mana channels/core after first use; the crystal made from his dead companion in the prologue finally spoke to him and is promptly stolen then used to blackmail him into becoming some guy he only met once disciple and we still have to deal with his amnesia.
If you can stomach that then give it a shot.
Has potential.
There is a solid story in here. It's well told with no grammar issues that I can see. The transition into the world feels a little abrupt and so far there is little worldbuilding. I'm interested to see where it goes and how the author improves.

This story was a pleasant surprise. It's a well crafted character driven story.
Maura, our MC was a medical student an advanced magitech society. She wakes in the ruins of her civilization that appears to have been destroyed by an influx of mana. We meet her at the end of a five year trek alone through the wilderness try to find people.
What I like the most about this story is the authors willingness to lean into the trauma that that sort of isolation does to a person. Maura's desperation to not be alone anymore. We learn about and experience this changed world through Maura's eyes.
The grammar, style, characterization and worldbuilding are all excellent.

It's okay...
Like it so far but...
I don't get the characters thought process. He hasn't put a single point into intelligence or wisdom to see what effect it might have. Maybe increased cognition or perception? We don't know because he hasn't tried.
He's going on little to know information (because of his starting circumstance) so wouldn't you test any and everything possible. Instead it feels like hes following a preprogrammed script. I'm gonna become a warrior because... reasons. He just had his first hit of a magical attack but seems to stuck in his preprogrammed path with no thought of diversification.
I'll give it a little more time and see if the author adds some realism and experimentation but I don't have high hopes.
Good read. I'm Pleasantly surprised.
Read the first volume and couldn't put it down. I Ioved the magic system interposed with science (e.g. light and refraction).
The characters and group dynamic feel genuine. No chosen one storyline.
The pacing is great. I have adhd and it can be hard for me to stay engaged. I appreciated that the author didn't stretch out the story even though there were opportunities to do so.
No book is perfect but any criticisms I have would be nitpicky so I have not included in my review.
I'm looking forward to the next volume. I hope the same quality continues.
