Secret Gate of the Gods
For the first time in history, forbidden secrets—intentionally hidden from humanity—are about to be unveiled. Secrets never recorded in any book, never passed down through the ages. At the heart of this gripping tale lies a revelation that no one has dared to expose the energy centers that have protected the Earth since time immemorial—the Vatican, Mecca, and Jerusalem. These places are not just revered religious sites; they are power centers, guarding humanity from unseen forces that only a few have ever known, forces that have lurked in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.
The real shock comes with the appearance of The Messenger of Death, the legendary one-eyed being who rises from the depths of ancient prophecy to signal the beginning of the end. It is said he only emerges when a cosmic catastrophe looms—one that humanity was never meant to understand. He carries a message long buried, one only the ancients knew, and he has come to reclaim control of the Earth, revealing truths that have been forbidden for millennia.
In the background, the first kingdom Army, thought to have vanished with the fall of the empire, returns from the shadows of history. Armed with forbidden knowledge and concealed weapons, they rise again, carrying secrets buried deep within the folds of time, protected by ancient talismans that no one was ever meant to uncover.
As the mystery unravels, each step brings humanity closer to a terrifying the world is not what it seems, and mankind’s fate is not in its own hands, but in the grip of forces manipulating our destiny from the shadows. Forces whose secrets were never meant to be revealed, whose knowledge was too dangerous to be known.If you’re searching for a novel that delves into the depths of forbidden lore and ancient mysteries, SECRET GATE OF THE GODS will take you on a pulse-pounding journey where the secrets of life and death lie hidden in pages no one dared to write, and where the greatest battle in history is about to begin.

Dear purveyor of A.I. generated slop:
Thank you for paying for a Goodreads Giveaway. Your $119 (USD) contribution will keep this site running for another 39 minutes.
Perhaps you can use that time to find an appealing book recommendation, one that was written by a human and has an iota of literary or entertainment value. This would be especially valuable since the nonsensical A.I. garbage conglomeration of words for sale under your persona leads one to conclude that you have never seen or read an actual book.
Sincerely,
Everyone

June 22, 2025Going to leave this review unrated, although I would have probably given it 2 1/2 stars because the plot from the 10% sample (which seems reminiscent of the Da Vinci Code) seemed interesting. I personally cannot determine with certainity if it is AI written, but the way the prose feels overwritten with floweryness without really telling anything feels sus enough.
To me, the majority of the problem is that it seems to be a second draft that cleaned up typos without developing the story. It feels like cramming a 90,000 word book into only 35,000 words. Usually, I feel plenty of books would shine tenfold if they killed a good 20,000 word darlings loaded with repetitive reminders of info the reader already knows.
In this book's case, we skip at least 5 chapters that could have cemented the MC's (Uhh.. Is it Arya?) escape from death during WWII, adjustment to a new adoptive family in the US and how this shapes her worldview. In hindsight, the barely mentioned backstory was like Vito Corleone's escape from Italy in the Godfather II film.
Arya has no PTSD, no struggles learning English or alienation with her new parents. Sadly, she is a Mary Sue. SO perfect and apparently physically attractive. Devoid of personality and can solve impossible Da Vinci Code type medieval puzzles with the snap of a finger. Mary Sues are one of my least favorite types of MCs because they can't keep me interested. There are gifted authors capable of creating such characters whose perfection is in reality, their greatest defect. Such defects then trigger variable types of conflict in the story where unscrupulous antagonists take advantage of this defect to further their agenda, or hell breaks loose and everyone now wants MC dead because they can't stand them. The vast majority of cases where the Mary Sue trope occurs, the character's flatness neither supports nor detracts chapter conflict in any way. Which expectedly happened in this book.
Whether the book was truly AI assisted or not, one telltale sign is that this book has a conveyor belt of equally flat random characters appearing in 2 paragraphs. Most of them don't even get a physical description. One character does a little something to further the Mary Sue's perfection, then they vanish from the story forever. Learning their names seems futile because they serve more as videogame NPCs fulfilling a preprogrammed function for Miss Mary Sue's perfection to shine. Which expectedly, makes it difficult to avoid skimming the pages in the hopes of just discovering the grandiose 'save the day' plot.
I will try to use a small degree of imagination and assume this story happens in an alternate universe where WWII takes long enough for a child to grow up and become trained in solving puzzles for mysterious agents working alongside (I assume) the US army.
In a nutshell, the story had the backbone for something that albeit not groundbreaking for the thriller genre, would have been a fun romp in an alternate timeline where WWII lasts far longer than 6 years. I would personally unpublish this edition, read a bunch of other thriller books starring warzone refugees. When in doubt, fanfiction writing is a marvelous stepping stone for novice authors where they can get used to storytelling within the comfortable constraints of a known IP.

Good read.... great ending

Although this work is presented as a fantasy novel, it functions more effectively as a philosophical and theological allegory. The narrative relies heavily on symbolic representation rather than conventional character development. The Master embodies internal evil; Ashkana is a personification of the devil; Henry—the hesitant librarian—represents the passive or uncertain believer; Juba and the Hammer Army signify religious extremism; the kings stand for corrupt political power; and Arya’s journey serves as a metaphor for the soul's search for the divine after spiritual disorientation.
Notably, the story is sold at a low price and is also available for free on other platforms, which suggests that the primary aim may not be commercial, but rather to spread a particular worldview and subtly program the reader's internal religious consciousness.
One especially prominent symbol is the one-eyed figure of the Death Messenger, which may reference the “All-Seeing Eye” atop the pyramid found on U.S. currency—a symbol frequently associated with hidden systems of control and global authority. Its inclusion adds another interpretive layer that moves beyond theology into socio-political commentary.
The author avoids direct preaching and instead employs a symbolic narrative to gradually guide the reader into deeper reflections on faith, repentance, and metaphysical order. The “Energy Cities” appear to function as metaphors for monotheistic religions, placed in contrast to secular or atheistic ideologies. This indirect method likely serves to engage readers who might otherwise resist overtly religious themes.
From a literary standpoint, the pacing is uneven—especially slow in the early chapters—and much of the dialogue and character interaction is subordinated to abstract philosophical messaging. As such, the book reads more like a structured philosophical argument embedded within a fictional narrative than a plot-driven novel.
The author's identity remains unknown, and the name used appears to be a pseudonym. The lack of available background information suggests intentional anonymity—possibly indicating the work of a group or institution rather than an individual author. This aligns with the text’s abstract and universal tone.
Final assessment:
– 4 stars as a fictional narrative for its conceptual ambition and symbolic framework.
– 5 stars as a philosophical and theological work for its depth, structure, and thematic complexity.

Yes, the blurb is something to go by in this case, ESPECIALLY THE ONE ON AMAZON THAT KEEPS SCREAMING IN BOLD FONT AT YOU FROM START TO FINISH. Already very ... telling.
Horribly written - I only read the sample and already had more than enough -, reads like AI generated drivel, but the "author" - in their "wisdom" to start arguing with reviewers on here - assures us it is not written by AI, so I must assume they just happen to be a really bad writer.
Whichever is true - my bet's still on AI slop though, all the pointers (AI's most favourite buzzwords, repetitive phrasing, over-writing yet still incredibly dull/bland/flat characters/voice, etc.) are there -, I can only recommend staying away from this book.
And, for the umpteenth time: Reviews are for readers.
If, as an author, you cannot take criticisms, don't publish. Or stay away from reviews and reviewers. Or both, ideally.

This book explores the ancient Babylonian civilization, focusing on cuneiform the earliest known written language. It presents material that is often restricted or censored in different parts of the world. Babylon is depicted as a society tied to sorcery, blood rituals, and open defiance of the Creator, as seen in stories like Gilgamesh and Enkidu’s pursuit of immortality, as well as apocalyptic themes such as Gog and Magog. Historical information is woven into the storyline. The story includes many secrets that probably shouldn’t be shared or promoted. While the content is informative, promoting civilizations built on occult practices raises ethical concerns.

I came across this story for free on a few platforms and decided to give it a shot. Yeah, the beginning feels a little slow, but after chapter three, it really kicks into gear and becomes hard to put down.
Some people mentioned the writing might’ve been helped by AI, probably because of a bit of sentence repetition—but honestly, that doesn’t take away from how creative and emotional this story is. The plot is rich, the world-building is layered, and the characters feel alive. AI doesn’t create this kind of emotional depth or spiritual complexity.
The story touches on sacred cities, powerful religious centers, and a clash between light and darkness—these aren’t themes you just get from a machine. They take heart, thought, and imagination. Characters like the Messenger of Death, Joba, and the Fountain of Life stayed with me long after reading.
But what truly made the story unforgettable for me was Aria. Watching her grow from an orphan to a hero who gives everything for others… that hit hard. Her final title, “The Weaver of Clouds,” gave me chills.
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but from where I stand, this story has real soul. And no AI can fake that.

"I haven't read the book yet, but the summary sounds intriguing and the cover is quite eye-catching it gives off a mysterious vibe. Still, I believe you can’t really judge the content without reading the whole thing. I’ve noticed some people rated it based only on the summary, while others seem to have read the entire book and shared detailed insights. Personally, I think it's only fair out of respect for the author and basic literary honesty to read the full book before leaving a review. I’m not here to tear anyone down. HALA Mexico."

This reads like someone with mental illness decided that chatgpt would be better for them than medication.
I'm not one to mock mental illness but there's a reason medication exists. Hell, the author says he's a bunch of dead people which sounds a lot like untreated schizophrenia.

Just finished Secret Gate of the Gods honestly, it’s wild. It starts as a gritty end-of-the-world war story, then slides into an ancient gate mystery with secrets way bigger than humanity. And Arya’s arc goes hard she doesn’t just survive, she levels up.

I had to sit with it for a minute.
Watching Aria lose everything and still keep going hit me hard.
It starts as war and ruins, then turns into this ancient secret that feels way too real.
She doesn’t just survive she fights back.
Waiting second EPIC

I enjoy World War II stories, and this one felt different. It brings together the atmosphere of the war with an unexpected alliance between the Allied forces and the Hammers army in a battle set at the Vatican. The concept is somewhat original, mixing elements of The Da Vinci Code, The Lord of the Rings, and Saving Private Ryan.

More Of A First Draft Than A Completed Story
I found the story to be quite interesting but only as the beginnings to what could be a great story with better editing and more flushing out of the plot.
