《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'The Forgotten Few: Deadly Sin' by lunaticthegame
Advertisement
This story is about children with special abilities, referred to as 'Abnormals'. Hidden by the government some of them are split into four factions. This has worked for decades… but then all goes to hell.
In terms of plot, I haven't seen anything that truly stood out so far. Children with superpowers and factions are both things I've seen before, and the story isn't long enough yet to show the plot is going in an original direction. I also found the whole thing quite hard to follow. A lot of characters are introduced rather fast and many things happen in very few chapters, while we still don't know much about the ins and outs of this world. There's room for development there; I'd like to see more of the world that's being built and what it has to offer, in order to better understand what exactly it is that I'm reading. There are so many interesting ways to go with this, so use them!
The characters are, in my opinion, written in a way that can make them look slightly archetypal (example: Evan and his hot-headed 'I need to be the most powerful' fighter attitude), but I do have to say they do differ from each other. There's a distinct atmosphere to every one of them, which is a good start in terms of development. These guys need some more time to truly show what they're made of, but they are promising, I'll give you that.
The GPS is sort of decent, but I found that especially the first chapter contained many typos and the like. I would recommend editing at least that chapter, but revising the rest too would be a good idea as well. It will make the story easier to read and make it look more professional.
Lastly, I can feel the anime-esque vibe the author is going for, which is nice. The fight scenes are very decent, and the characters and their behaviour also seems to be influenced by anime. It's really cool to see the feeling of a tv-show/anime caught in a book, so kudos to that!

Black Blood (Dropped...)
The multiverse is a big place, and it is also constantly in flux. As such sometimes mistakes occur, impossibilities that should have never come into existence. An aspect of corruption born naturally of a mortal and a divine, a Void that is a singularity instead of a duality, a being that came to be before existence ever was, a forgotten that is not damned, the possibilities are infinite and limitless, and thus so are the possible mistakes in this grand multiverse. But are not mistakes more entertaining to watch? When being reincarnated there are some things that you just cant control. Losing most of your memories is not a great start. Pissing off your patron goddess is not a good follow up. Rounding that out with reincarnating as something not exactly… human… Needless to say this guy is in for an interesting life.

Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
