Summary

The royal bastard of House Vasquer, Argrave, has changed after his stay studying magic at the Tower of the Gray Owl. The sickly man’s awkward posture and cruel behavior have been replaced with a neat dignity and acerbic wit. His listless life has found a path of undeniable purpose. Most come away thinking he seems to know too many details about too much. Few can claim to know his motives or his goals.

Behind the scenes, though, the primary contributor for an open-world RPG’s wiki battles existential dread and things far beyond his ken as he struggles to adapt to a grim, gothic fantasy world that he had the misfortune to claim as his favorite game. This is his tale.

#####What to expect from this story#####

This piece is a high-fantasy style story, featuring many of the species and surroundings one might expect to find in such a world. The cultures are original and well-developed, with the primary setting being a European-style feudal society. Warfare, fell beasts, and natural disasters are commonplace in Berendar, and take the center of many plots. The protagonist is a smooth-talker, but the world does not exist for him; he must struggle to gain power.

    I don't know how to feel about this novel. Everything is good until fight scenes, i was always like "Oh... We are fighting?". It always caught me off guard, like the sentences integrating with each other so seemlessly that i barely feel any heat from the battle itself. It's like reading a documentary about fighting with no excitement whatsoever.

    Why is this not popular? I mean, it has good reviews and 600+ chapters. What the hell? The writing is superb, the characters are detailed and have depth, it's slow paced but the world building is excellent. It's been a while since I decided to pause and let it stack but I find it crazy how this novel isn't really considered when there are so many sh*tty novel in the top 30, is it too sophisticated for the average reader? But then again LoTM wasn't an easy cup of tea either but still top ranked. I'm not saying that that this novel is a masterpiece, as it has some flaws, but clearly deserves to be higher ranked.

      The author of this book is more dedicated on another site, it's one of the reasons why chapters on this book on this site specifically can be a little behind updates. I doubt this would make it to top 50 with the amount of audience that are more into uhh... hack-slash-upgrade-slap kinda thing but safe to say top 200s are a nice trajectory to say there are always hidden gems if you know where to look

        Indeed the problem is the audience, it's a pity that maybe out there are some hidden gems that I won't find because they are not popular.

    Can I get an unbiased take on whether this is a good or not. Like people are throwing around the word "Masterpiece" which I dont knooow but that's a pretty heavy statement. I just want to know if it's good or not

      It's good. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's got some really good highs. And the lows aren't really that bad compared to most of the novels on this site.

      When we look at it superficially, it is the story of an immigrant who sets out to save the world and over time gathers companions around him that he values.If you take the time to read it, you will find an MC with a good sense of humor who often finds himself in pain, eccentric and valuable companions who contribute a lot to the story, and a deep world background.In my opinion, the depth of the side characters and the pleasure of reading their perspectives are very important in a novel.I remember looking forward to reading the side characters' perspectives in this novel.

      Novels with very high-quality writing are generally boring so most people don't read them

        Logic often overshadows fun, which makes masterpieces llike this way rarer than they should
