CUB
He was human once. He isn’t sure if he still is.
Born in Blood. Forged by the Wild. Hunted by the Past.
Marek was only a boy when the wolves took everything—his home, his family, his future. Left for dead in the frozen wilds, he should have perished. Instead, the wilderness made him something else.
Raised by bears, shaped by survival, Marek learned to move between man and beast, between instinct and thought. But the past does not stay buried, and the monstrous wolf who destroyed his world has returned—this time with an army.
Noska is not just a predator. He is a teacher of pain, a sculptor of fear, a ruler who bends nature to his will. His pack moves like a machine, their attacks calculated, their obedience absolute. But Marek is not prey. He is not a soldier. He is something Noska has never encountered—something untamed.
With his bear-brother at his side and a pack of broken wolves learning to fight for themselves, Marek must do more than survive. He must unmake everything Noska has built.
This is not just a war of tooth and claw.
It is a battle for the soul of the wild.
For readers of feral, high-stakes fantasy like The Revenant meets The Jungle Book—this is a brutal, heart-wrenching tale of survival, vengeance, and the power of found family.
🔥 Perfect for fans 🐺 Raw, visceral fight scenes
🐻 Deeply immersive nature writing
🖤 Complex villains & psychological warfare
💀 Found family born in blood and trust
The forest does not forgive. Neither does he.

Note: this review is based upon the sample available on Amazon. In this case, it should be renamed from "Sample" to "Buyer Beware."
Like everything else this prompt-typing duo has published, this piece lacks a single spark of originality or genuine human emotion. It's a textbook example of AI-generated fantasy: technically proficient, narratively bankrupt.
Where doesn't it scream 'generated'? The generic phrasing ("dying light," "ancient pines," "cruel intelligence"), the robotic sentence rhythm (the constant subject-verb-object structure), the utter lack of subtext or emotional nuance... it's all there. The dialogue (or lack thereof) is emotionally vacant, and the choices are so predictable it's painful. The over-reliance on modifiers ("massive forms," "unblinking focus," "terrible precision") is a dead giveaway. Odd word choices also abound. Where is the messy, irrational spark of humanity missing? Everywhere.
Bland. Overwritten. Melodramatic. Clunky. Awkward phrasing. Excessive telling instead of showing. There's no effective balance between action, dialogue, and exposition. Specific examples of bad sentences? Take your pick: "Shadows stretched long across virgin snow..." "The wind carried whispers ancient pines warnings..." It's purple prose vomiting onto the page.
It tries (and utterly fails) to emulate George R.R. Martin or Joe Abercrombie, but it lacks their gritty realism, complex characters, and morally ambiguous choices. Based solely on this sample, this is unmarketable. It needs a complete rewrite.
And by "rewrite," I mean "actually write something."
Strongest possible recommendation to avoid this AI garbage.
