This is basically trash reading for an easy time. I think it draws heavily from the Isekai anime tropes and other books of this style. I see that it is from RoyalRoad and that makes a lot more sense, as that website is literally people egging authors on to make the most generic power fantasy stories. I think this is pretty bland and very easy read, but sometimes you need that when you've got time to waste. The premise and some of the other ideas presented are interesting enough to keep me reading, but really, the writing is not good enough to carry it.
I was going to write a lot more about this, but honestly, what's the point? I mean, I highlighted multiple pages where we are told what just happened or recent events are overly explained to us. Think of Netflix telling its directors that people need to be able to surf the web and watch their movies at the same time, so over explain. Things will happen and the main character will literally fricking pontificate on why it happened or his thought process in the most heavy-handed exposition dump way possible. You could almost skim this book to skip the word padding and get to the interesting parts while still having a decent time.
Lord of Mysteries, which I think is pretty meh as well, and Solo Leveling, which if you think is anything more than well animated fight scenes lead by a really douchey ML, well then I don't know how to fix you, are doing amazing with audiences. If that sort of paper thin type of story is something you like to read, go for it.

Not very good. Felt AI, where else the author never heard of an editor.
There are a few scenes in the story that I really enjoyed. However the story meandered long, a little convoluted with no surprises or thrills for the most part. The entire book just pushed the overall plot line adding scenes to seem to get where I wanted to go that didn't feel natural or even necessary at times. Way over explained with exposition that would repeat entire plotlines from just a chapter two prior. At one point the author worked on a supporting character who was annoying and made very little sense to a main character who is an adult living a second life. It was frustrating having entire scenes explain to you that only a person with severe learning disabilities would not be able to understand the plot line that had just happened in the nuance of where the story was going. Just not very well written.
All that said, it's a story that has a decent world build and plot line, but it feels tired and repeated an AI written.

Entertaining
This is a fun story. Thanks for sharing it with us. The correct term is "few and far between" not "far and few in between". If you can remove the "other person" from your sentence and it sounds wrong then it IS wrong. Joe and me went to the hospital... Becomes "me went to the hospital" and is wrong. So the correct use is Joe and I... Take this into consideration for your future stories. Present tense clauses in past tense sentences .... are so irritating. There are a number of other suggestions I would say, but I'm not your editor. Maybe get one and this story would become SO MUCH BETTER.
Either way, I'm looking forward to reading the next book so keep them coming.

I’m really enjoying this series so far. Book 2 builds nicely on the foundation of the first, showing that while the MC is incredibly powerful, he’s not untouchable, his struggle keeps things interesting. The pacing felt solid, with a good mix of worldbuilding, character growth, and action.
What stood out most for me was the way the final conversation was written, it left just the right mix of a payoff and cliffhanger for the next book, making me eager to dive into the next book. If you like OP protagonists who still face meaningful challenges and clever twists, this is definitely worth picking up.

Enjoyable
I am always a bit cautious going into books that have OP main characters. While I don’t expect it to be full of a hard, bloody slog to the top where the main characters struggle through the whole thing, I do like there to be some aspect of earning their stripes so to speak rather than poof and they’re at the top. This is an OP MC, make no mistake , but there’s enough struggle to satisfy my need for it to feel as if Eli’s achievements were earned. Not to mention, he’s just plain likable. Considering the ending, I very much look forward to joining Eli and his collection of friends and allies on more of their adventures.

Nice beginning
Liked these 2 books - finished them at a stretch - did not realize the next book will come later this year - and waiting for that…. The pace is fast and waiting to see how furious it will end up being after a few more books. Book 1 had the Death God kill close to 2000 opponents. Hardly a fraction of that in Book 2 - so that was a bit of a slow down. The issue is that the Death God has picked up Healing as a cover - and that has slowed down his growth - hope the pace picks up in the next few books….

good book, a lot of story threads, maybe a bit too short in length
Really good book. Can’t say too much wrong with it except it gets a demotion of one star because it ends in a cliffhanger. The author should’ve taken longer and given us a bit more length so that the story wouldn’t end that way. Will definitely read the next book When it is released.

pipsqueak
A young healer with a big secret, wise beyond his years (because he remembers his past life)…goes to magical boarding school and meddles with empires.
Good action sequences, cliched world building (empires and nobles), disorienting the way the narrative jumps from person to person and changes from first to third perspective, but not unreadable.

Ending sucked
Enjoyed the story it was a really good continuation of the brand. Ran across a few plot issues but mostly written well. There is no epilogue and the end is just simply infuriating. I know most serial writers prefer the cliffhanger but it is and always will be bad craftsmanship.

Excellent
Great addition to the series, as the mysterious political machinations gets revealed ever so slowly. Nox is growing in many ways, but has so much to learn.

Little bit slow in places.

Better than the first, but not by much. The pacing slows down, and the action gets repetitive.

Pretty good storylines and I'm excited for the next one. It is annoying that the author often repeated sentences from the end of the previous chapter, like readers have the attention span of a goldfish. This isn't a TV show.
There's a bit of light novel style narration which is a bad thing because it's amateur hour over there. It's starting to wear me down.
