Julius, an adoptive son to his aunt and uncle, was struck by agonizing pain that caused his transfer to the world of Ether. Unaware of the societal functions of this new world, his goal to become rich and return to Earth was met with discrimination and betrayal—a betrayal that kept him imprisoned in the ruins of an underground civilization for more than a year.
Despite all his misfortunes, he was led to the discovery of his newfound power—one that gave him hope of returning to Earth. However, this new world seemed to be against his will as he always found himself tackling new enemies—from mortal individuals to Gods.
8/10: Would recommend.
This story has some promise, based on the mostly smooth introduction, and a decent and believable power gain.
I would say that the description spoils a bit too much about the plot as it is and kinda ruined the surprise of his betrayal as well as his power gain.
His fall and betrayal feels a bit off, but is acceptable as he needs to somehow get to the position of being betrayed in a cave. Kinda like Arifureta tbh.
The story does better than most mechanics wise, with few grammatical errors and a decent structure to the writing as well.
Overall, not bad for a first novel.
