The story telling is wonderful, battles are absolutely epic, no plot holes (as far as I'm aware of), you can feel the emotions in the words themselves, rarely any grammar or spelling mistakes and the story is very easy to understand yet still incredible.

Overall, very good writing. Tons of references too.

The author also reads every single comment. 5/5, definitely recommend.

This is the one that finally convinced me to make an account after lurking for years on this site so that I could write a review and give 5 stars.

This is a really intriguing tale. Can't give the author enough praise for their ability to hold my attention. But, for those of you who are squeamish, beware that there is disturbing content in here as well. That being said, it's very well written. I don't want to spoil anything, but the world building is heavily inspired by the works of Project Moon, i.e. Library of Ruina, which is an incredible story in itself.

Please read this. It's worth your time if you are not off-put by a bit of morbidity.

This is one of the best novels I've ever read. I almost want to not read it till it's finished so I can binge it all at once and not have to wait everyday for a new ch once I catch up xD

It might be early for me to rate it just after reading a single arc, but this one arc has cemented such confidence in me that I ought to write my review which is gonna be brief and that is- READ THIS if you have gone as far as to read the description and scrolled down to see reviews but still wondering if you should give it a shot. I mean if nothing else then just to experience this opening arc any reader ought to give themselves this treat, My next review will be when I catch up to the latest chap.

This story goes hard, as does the author.

It's a few months since I've been keeping up with it on a daily basis - about how often the author puts out new chapters - and have given time for the dust to settle. It's without a doubt the most intense story I've read on this site, and probably outside of it too. At 150 chapters about 4 arc's have been completed, and during that are thrown into one perilous and emotionally fraught situation after another, with little to no rest between. Conflicts are often personified in visually striking and often horrifying ways, and that's made even more intense by the sheer pace of everything. Driving all this is a sense of terrifying wonder and mystery surrounding the grotesque world itself, which is often only resolved in a way that opens more questions than it answers, while still being satisfying.

I will say, it's a story better for binging, as the chapters often lack a good stopping point between them, meaning you forget a ton of emotional and visual context between chapters if you don't go from one to the next. The author also puts out so many chapters that keeping up with them is quite a task.

4.6 Stars (4.3 Stars, +.3 potential bonus [Very Curious on how the story is going to develop]) (Made at Chapter 108)

Nexus Awakened is a very good story with interesting and fun MC, who has to go through a lot. Side cast is alright, they do have distinct personalities and history (Some of which we only slightly know about) but besides Jury haven't been develop much in the story.

There is a lot Frost and the Audience doesn't know about the world, as we uncover more horrors hiding just beneath the surface. Frost has a very fun powerset, which is great especially with the fun fights. Besides the normal fights, there also ones against the corrupted, which really interesting as these creatures usually can't be dealt with purely brute force and become a game to figure the weakness before dying.

... yeah, that's all I got to say. Give it a try, and see if you enjoy it.

[UPDATE] (Update 311)
YOU WANT SOME EMOTIONAL ABUSE WELL YOU'VE COME TO RIGHT PLACE, COME ON ENJOY THE RIDE... energy is now out of the system. Yeah the story is still great and weird.

One of the best novels I've read, Frost showing so many emotions that I felt a lot of chills and sweating a lot.

First ever serious review on any novels for me, sorry if I made some mistakes.

Honestly, it suprised me that THIS is a original novel and not a fan fiction.

The world building, 5/5. Genuinely good and detailed to the point that I would sometimes think this is a fan fic because of how expansive and deep it is. Heavily inspired by games like Lobotomy corp. (Good game go play it)

The characters, 5/5. The author gave alot of thought to them and made interesting backgrounds for each characters, main or not.

The writing, 5/5. Barely noticeable errors and the author fixes them fast when its spotted.

Overall, Perfect. Pretty sure this novel is one of those novels that made me get back to reading novels again after a long time. Keep up the good work.

Incredible story. Syringe has created such a wonderfully twisted world here. Also, a lot of stories have a whole "oh battles are stories" thing that's usually just supposed to sound cool. I'm convinced this is the only story where it's actually true. The battles are absolute masterworks.

Some of the best world building and character growth of any story I've read, this story is in my top ten I've ever read. If you're a fan of hurt/comfort than let me tell you this story has both in spades, and so far this story hasn't let me down with a satisfying resolution to every major conflict.

My one complaint is early on, the first few chapters are incredibly dense with lore and mechanic dumping, and no matter how well that's put to use afterwards it makes for some hard reading and I almost dropped the story because I was worried that it would be indicative of the rest of the story. Thankfully it wasn't, and around chapters 10-15 the story takes a turn for the better and never turns back. If you're interested in the story I recommend trying to reach that far before stopping. It really is worth the wait, I promise!
