Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Bad Review
Eren scrolled through the first chapter of the novel on the Celestial Novels website. The story seemed to be filled with surreal elements, much like his current dream-like experience on the back of the Giant Phoenix.
Despite his initial skepticism, Eren found himself intrigued by the vivid descriptions and the mysterious world depicted in the novel. The author's writing style was captivating, drawing him in with each passing paragraph.
Moreover, the world described in the novel was fascinating. There were aspects from Western Mythology, but there was also Eastern Mythology mixed in.
Chapter after chapter, Eren delved deeper into the fantastical tale, unable to tear himself away. The plot twists and turns kept him on the edge of his seat, immersed in a world unlike anything he had ever imagined.
However, after reaching the 200th chapter, Eren couldn't shake off a lingering sense of unease. The story had taken a turn, leaving him with more questions than answers. There were many aspects in the story that he didn't like.
The characters' motivations seemed unclear, and the plot felt disjointed.
Frustrated and slightly disoriented, Eren stopped reading. He couldn't deny the creativity and imagination behind the novel, but the lack of coherence and depth left him unsatisfied. Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
With a sigh, Eren remained on the bed, reflecting on his brief journey into the Celestial World of the novel.
He opened the review section, noticing that there were almost no reviews on the site, even though they have an option to leave a review behind.
He decided to be the first one to leave a review.
"Two stars out of five, and that too because I'm feeling generous. Although the concept is good and the description is vivid, there are also many problems."
"It's like the author has never seen the real world. He's like some ten year old child who keeps taking the story in a nonsensical direction. What a waste of such a good start. I can't believe there are five thousand chapters of this novel."
"One example is the character introduced in the tenth chapter! He's an Elder who's made to be an antagonist but it doesn't make sense! It's said that he's a member of a Hero Academy who is undercover at the Devil Sect."
"How does it make sense that someone can enter the Evil Sect and the Master of the Sect doesn't even find out about it? Instead, the Sect Master makes this guy an elder? It's like the author does things for the sake of doing things instead of following any kind of logic."
Since he was fine, he thought of the worst possibility. He was in the room of that Elder, and the phoenix was carrying him without hurting him. As he thought about the implications, his expressions turned darker.
"Can you take me down near that pond?" he asked the Phoenix. And to his surprise, the Phoenix also listened
The phoenix took him down and landed near a pond that was surrounded by beautiful scenery.
Eren jumped down from the Phoenix. However, as soon as he landed on the ground, he groaned in pain loudly.
"Urgh!" He held his right leg, falling to the ground. Simply jumping from a few meters of height, he broke his legs, leaving him in disbelief as to how weak he was.
Even on earth, he could jump from that height safely, but here, he felt even weaker.
"That's right. There's no way I can be that Elder if I'm this weak." Eren tried to be optimistic even in this situation.
If he had traveled to the world of the novel, he really preferred to be anyone but that Elder as it was a shortcut to death for someone like him.
The Phoenix looked at Eren. A tear came out of its eyes. The tear flew toward Eren, falling over his leg.
"A Phoenix's tear?"
As soon as the tear fell on his legs, all the pain disappeared. His broken bone also healed, allowing him to once again walk on his legs.
"T-thank you." He thanked the phoenix, still somewhat confused.
He walked towards the pond. Although he was mostly certain that he wasn't the Elder, he wanted one last confirmation.
Standing before the Pond, he looked down to his reflection in the pond.
"This... can't be..."
