First, there was no REAL conflict in this book. Everything was too easy for the MC and everything was pre-ordained.

Review of book 1 - 7

Book 1 - This was very entertaining, and while I have read something similar before, it was an enjoyable read. 4 Stars. However, only two things kept it from being 5 stars. First, there was no REAL conflict in this book. Everything was too easy for the MC and everything was pre-ordained. Second, there was an initial information dump in the form of the MC reading books in a library about his new world, but after this, we do not get much detail. I knew practically nothing about the world, how society works, etc.

Book 2 - This was also entertaining, and 4 stars, kept back because the author seemed to skip over the most enjoyable parts. I wanted to see the MC's first encounters, and read about his journey. Instead, it kind of skips over the interesting bits to summarize a 4 year period.

Book 3 - 5 Stars. The author has hit his stride. You can tell he has gotten better at writing. The author also shows that the MC has flaws and his character is changing. You see that he is not invulnerable and can be harmed.

Book 4 - 5 Stars. In this book, the author explores the wider world a bit more and you start seeing conflict on a larger scale. You finally find people who are insanely strong compared to the MC and it starts exploring the history of the world.

Book 5 - 5 Stars. This is a book of training. While it seems that a book focused mostly on training would be boring, the author did a good job of keeping the reader interested. You start to see the book from others point of view more often.

Book 6 - 4 Stars. This book shows that start of the true war and plot of the series. It is also twice as long as normal. While I normally love longer books, it almost seems as if he is padding the book. 30% of the book seems to come from other's point of view. While the writing was still good, I wanted to experience the world through the MC, not some random person.

Book 7 - 4 Stars. This book suffers from the same problems as the one before it. It is still an enjoyable read, but now about 50% of the book is either from other's point of view, or a flashback from the MC's past life. I will definitely read this series until the end. However, I am no longer furiously devouring it page by page like I did before. I find myself skimming the chapters on side characters and random enemies. There were 3 or 4 full chapters told from an enemy's point of view that ended up being pointless. I won't go into why, as that would be a spoiler.

Not bad but frustrating

This book lacks nuance. Basically, the villain outmaneuvers the MC at every turn. Somehow every single one of the villain's plan succeeds. This is unrealistic. Also some of the characters seem to become temporarily insane and start doing really dumb things that make no sense. Also the specific limitations placed on the character don't make any sense.

There definitely need to be limitations. An all powerful MC would be boring. But the author needs to work on the logic behind them. Not a terrible book but too many plot holes and a bit overdone in some areas. I would sum it up as the MC and his allies are incompetent. The villains are infallible. This dynamic makes the story frustrating to read.

Alert

I hate trying to write reviews because there are really only pass/fail results for me. Did I make it all the way through? Yes? 5 stars. No? There would be nothing here to read. In all fairness, if an author holds my attention from page one to the end, they’ve done their job. Anything less than 5 stars is petty criticism from someone incapable of even doing the job let alone doing a better one.

I hate trying to write reviews because there are really only pass/fail results for me. Did I make it all the way through? Yes? 5 stars. No? There would be nothing here to read. In all fairness, if an author holds my attention from page one to the end, they’ve done their job. Anything less than 5 stars is petty criticism from someone incapable of even doing the job let alone doing a better one.

So in respect for the author and their work, I am going to start pasting this along with a generic review I found somewhere. “This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.”

Now, since I have to keep explaining myself to people who don't like my reviews, I guess some clarification is in order.

1. I am 100% against criticism for works of art. Art is subjective, meaning reviews are irrelevant. The observer's opinion is only relevant to the observer. It is my belief that regardless of what others might say, I have to experience the art for myself.

2. I read upwards of 20 books a month. The $10/month I spend on K U, feels like I am cheating the authors. But since I can't afford 20 books a month if I were to purchase them directly, all I can offer is a positive review. That leads us to the final point.

3. If I get to the end of a book, then it was worth my time. I give those books 5 stars because it helps the author get exposure. That is the only reason I write reviews at all.

I understand that people are people and they are going to do what they do regardless of my stance. I know the way that I review books upsets some people. I am sorry they feel that way but as many have said, they will just ignore my review going forward. In fact, if you made it this far through my review, you should definitely read the book and completely ignore all of the reviews here. You are a much better judge of what you will like than anyone here.

Cheers

While this is a nice change of pace from the last 2 slower novels that spent far too much time on filler and training Divergence really is super grim in comparison to the previous novels.

4.5/5 After a lull during the last couple books Divergence kicks things up a notch. Many questions are answered. Plotlines start to converge. While this is a nice change of pace from the last 2 slower novels that spent far too much time on filler and training Divergence really is super grim in comparison to the previous novels. Our heroes really needed to eek out some wins this time around but those are few and far between it seems as the Vritras and the Alacryan army reign hell down upon them.

There are more flashbacks to Arthur's past life in this volume as well, though they are fewer and farther between. There are also a few other PoV characters which can be a little distracting and a few of them seemed rather unnecessary. They aren't as bad as they were before and the fact that the plotline sees a huge comparative surge its not hard to keep interested.

While I still miss the easy going whimsical nature of the first few volumes I must admit they didn't have a staggering level of conflict for our OP (over powered) protagonist. In this volume the table gets flipped.

I think the tale is starting to catch up to Turtleme's web novel I hope the releases remain consistent as I am an impatient bastard.

(view spoiler)[Of course the stupid elf princess had to go do something stupid, that got a bunch of people killed and damaged our protagonist beyond words.
But what does she do instead of listening and running through the portal? She still tries to fight.
What does she do when the protagonist got injured trying to get her to safety? When he is almost dead? She goes to surrender herself to the bad guys who put the protagonist in such a state.
A State he received because he rushed out to save her. She didn't listen that if the enemy got her, everything would be lost?

I'm giving this book two stars because of that stupid elf princess. (hide spoiler)]

I might read the sequels, but the ever increasing POVs, and "emotional" elf princess are strong deterrents.

Good book, but frustrating that the main character was very thick and slow to pick up on every clue presented to him.. The reader easily identified what the clues meant, but had to wait many chapters for the main character to catch on... frustrating.

Great read!

I'm extremely impressed with this series. The unique magic system thought up by Turtleme is outstanding, and the character development is top notch. The first couple books went by far too quickly, and I'm very happy that Turtleme began lengthening the books. But I'm sad that I burned through all 7 books already. I haven't been this engrossed in a series since Wheel of Time. Here's hoping book 8 comes quickly!

The Beginning After The End Book 7

Story begins after the flash back which is becoming redundant at this part of time.

Only intresting tit bit from previous book is that someone knows about protagonist's reincarnation as King Grey.

Rest is rather repetitive and drag as it seems to employ more of us less anime troope system.

Where the protagonist act as an immature fool throughout the story and series. Whereas author has gone out of its way to make the protagonist cool, calm, collected, & composed.

Here he could be seem being manipulated by his family, friends, love, intrest, council which is everyone in the story and arc.

If you are reading all the story continuously you can feel there is something very off i this story as it has many plot holes.

Just as the previous changes from making Grey 38 instead of the before mentioned 28 when he became Arthur & the change to having him supposedly die instead of his having gone back to his former self & stating that he's retiring & jumping back into being Arthur again. Though maybe Turtleme will find a way to incorporate that into a death, though it should have played out instead of the instant re-convergence with the Arthur life. This time Turtleme seems to have forgotten that Arthur's parents had already forgiven him for having the reincarnated life instilled since birth.
Another peeve is the fact that those he loves seem to know that he is always getting hurt trying to save them & get upset with him about it. Yet then go right ahead & attempt to put their life in danger again, right after yelling at him for almost dying trying to save them. As well as his never to shut the f#@& up and stop acting so stupid & then maybe things would turn out a little better.
Though their are other inconsistencies, the time it takes to travel from one battle to another & then back again using the exact same mode of transportation are drastically different, depending on when the author decides that an event is supposed to take place.
Okay, so that a bit of griping & cause to wonder why worth even 4*. Well it's not anything like a 5* Dumas, Michener, Clavell, Crichton or even Asimov, Niven & Pournelle book. But as I said, if you like isekai light novels, then you should enjoy this as well as the 1st 6 & worth more than 4* in that genre if you can get past the authors inconsistencies.

I liked the chapter from the point of view of the enemy and how they were infiltrating the elf forest what I didn't like was the other chapters from the point of view of the same enemy. I felt like I really want to skip it and knowing how even the author skip the battle in the forest later, I wished that I had skipped those chapters. This problem got to a point that it was talking of 3 characters taking the enjoyment of all them.

The other problem I had was in the last 3 to 4 chapters so SPOILER ahead.
In the last chapters It talked about a mysterious figure but it was obvious that it was Elijah. In the one of the chapters It was also very obvious that Elijah was controlled by Nico so much so that I skipped to the chapter fearing that it was 'The Big Revelation' and I was right spending an entire chapter fighting without anything happening no one died or anything just describing a fight and thinking that Nico was Elijah from the last sentence of the previous chapter.

It is a really fun story and I liked the multiple view points especially when it takes the role of a spectator or the enemy but wished it was tuned down a little in volume 8

And then my reading got ahead of the webtoon, and I went very far into the story, until it started to be dragged a little too longer for my taste, I was eager to know the end of the story. .., so I took a little glipmse of the end of the book 8 (which was not the end afterall, the author is still writing obviously )... Big mistake! please avoid doing that!!

The story isn't over yet I don't like the turn of events, AT ALL!! . It lost my appetite (of the book, not for food which appetite's fine, thank you).

So I'm going to stop my reading here (chapter 170-- vol.7) unless the very end chapter comes out so I can check out how it turns and what to expect (what do you want, I'm too frustrated, I can't go back now).

Any recommendations ? (same kind but much shorter like SoloLeveling please )

While I understand why the plot is shaped the way it is, I am also very frustrated at the "slowplay" of angst in this novel. The flashbacks to Arthur's former life were tedious trainwreak is a cheap writers ploy to add mental anguish to the main character. Then in the later part of the novel, the MC keeps stating something doesn't seem right in every chapter, but conveniently ignores the signs that the authors points out over and over again, then has a surprised pikachu face when the proverbial hammer drops.

Honestly you can skip a large chunk of this book. The politics that weigh down the first half of the book are completely irrelevant to the story. At some point about halfway through the story refocuses in a way that's interesting and it culminates with some great interactions.

I wish the author had skipped ahead through the seeming teen angst and gotten to the meat of the story. The last 20% is worth following up on. Starting with the one of the more major battle sequences and eschewing some of the less important interactions would help this series. I'm glad it moved along to a satisfying ending though

Series starts strong, keeps getting worse

This was an extremely low point in the series. The entire novel was broken. With weird fights, jarring changes in POV, characters not only diverging from their norm but acting in extremely stupid and inexplicable ways. And the ending was ridiculously foolish, both in the way it was written and in the way the characters behaved.

Series starts strong, keeps getting worse

This was an extremely low point in the series. The entire novel was broken. With weird fights, jarring changes in POV, characters not only diverging from their norm but acting in extremely stupid and inexplicable ways. And the ending was ridiculously foolish, both in the way it was written and in the way the characters behaved.

I’m sure this was all designed to build toward something, but contorting your world and characters to force the story to fit and move the way you want is poor craft and a betrayal to read.

After the second novel I bought all 9 currently out as a group, I’m regretting that now.

I really don’t know where to put this one, it’s a bit contrived in terms of story, yet is literally the most engaging piece of fiction I’ve ever read.
It’s honestly ridiculous how I simultaneously think it’s sorta boring and read it so fast, all the characters are good and bad in a few ways but are generally pretty solid.
The weirdest part of this entire story is the consequences of the characters’ actions, they can get a tonne a people killed, brutally bludgeon someone or some other ridiculous t

The Beginning After The End Book 7

Struggled for a While

This book really floundered compared to the rest, and I began to lose interest as everything seemed too cliche and predictable. But I. The last fifth of the book, the story started rolling again and it finally seemed like TurtleMe had a plan again. Had the story ended sooner I would have given it 3 stars, but the ending pulled through. Still a great series though, and I will be looking forward to the next book!

Hero strong, but never enough

I grow tired of this trope. Hero gets strong, hero has enemies that are stronger. Hero gains in power, then hero is emotional comprised and gets shit kicked out of them. Enemies win because an unbalanced child deals with other imbalance children. Meh at best for this one. Just end it already. The writing isn't bad but you're beating the story to death

The Beginning After The End Book 7

I'm really intrigued by the new turn of events, and the creative way the author gave Arthur a body that can use all his Aether Arts. But when it came down to the nitty gritties, it came short. The details and completeness of thought on the final push of the series is starting to stall with little progression. It's like we were at 80% before, plowing through the plot and action on the battlefield, and suddenly nothin' for half a book. Ugh.
