Bram can sing like a god of music, he’s great at disguises, and he can fight like he was born to make war — but he can’t do magic, and in a land where sorcery's the dominant force, a man who lacks talent for even basic spells is scorned by everybody…even a prince.
It’s not all bad. Prince Bram of House Attilan has a secret…two of them.
Inside Bram exists an otherworldly self-improvement system which he unfortunately can’t use because he’s a magicless loser. He also has dreams about another world; one with concrete cities and glass towers that scrape the sky that fill his head with crazy ideas and inventions. Bram figures he can make use of both mysteries, and he’s got a plan for it too.
If he can’t use the system, then he’ll gift it to others, and not just to anybody, but to the people of that other world called Earth who have the talents Bram needs to help his Kingdom of Lotharin prosper. Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster, one powerful enough to help Bram perform the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the troubles plaguing the kingdom, making Lotharin great again while proving Bram a worthy prince.

This novel is a masterpiece of thoughtful craftsmanship that completely drew me in over its five chapters. What sets it apart is the authenticity of its main character - rather than relying on an overpowered protagonist or system-granted plot armor, the story presents a hero who must rely on his wit and intelligence to overcome challenges. This approach creates genuine tension and makes his struggles deeply relatable.
The worldbuilding deserves special praise for its attention to detail and realism. Every element feels carefully considered and naturally integrated into the narrative. The technical execution is equally impressive - the grammar and sentence structure are polished, thanks in part to the author's willingness to incorporate constructive feedback from readers.
What truly elevates this work is the author's distinctive writing style and narrative voice. They've managed to take familiar tropes and clichés and reinvent them in innovative ways that feel fresh and engaging. The pacing strikes a perfect balance, neither rushing through important moments nor dwelling too long on any single element. One reader even joked in the comments that the author must be a deity of literature - and while humorous, the sentiment speaks to the exceptional quality of the writing.
This story shows tremendous potential for greatness if the author maintains this level of quality. For any fans of the genre, this novel is absolutely worth your time. It's the kind of work that makes you excited about the future of web fiction and leaves you hoping for more authors who can craft stories with such skill and care.
