[Stubbed]] Book 1: The Grieving Lands will become available on September 19th on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited and published by Royal Guard.
How much would you sacrifice to slay the gods?
Gesthe is a world where the whims of gods and magic hold sway. Cruel and capricious gods force mortal champions to fight and die in their eternal game.
Taken from his world and his memories stolen by the Divines, our hero takes up the name of the first and greatest of heroes, Gilgamesh. He is forced to adapt to the game-like world, assimilating skills and dark abilities that he can barely comprehend.
Will this be a hero’s journey or a descent into madness in the pursuit of greater power?
*Weekly updates every Saturday.
*Villain main lead. Do not expect an aspirational story.
*High fantasy grounded in gritty realism. Do not expect contrived conveniences you would normally associate with the genre.

Excellently written, with convincing descriptions and a MC who doesn't just get the easy way out. While many elements are familiar the author's approach to isekai is a breathe of fresh air.
There are many stories that receive 5 stars on this site, but this is one of the ones that deserve it.

The grammar is good, and this has an interesting premise, but it feels quite aimless and the MC seems pretty passive so far.
The stats also seem inconsistent, a stat will increase in one chapter but it won't show in the stat screen in the next chapter.
Overall I think this has potential, and it clearly has some effort put behind it, but it hasn't reached it just yet.

Nice more chapters here than royal road.
Interesting writing style and good elements of isekai world building. It's nice to read stories that differ from the normal hero path.
Looking forward to reading more chapters!

Grammar is good and it has an Interesting opening premise. I quite like the starting chapters, it's pretty fun and makes you ask what things could happen to the protagonist caught between two powerful forces. I want to see if the protagonist chooses to become evil or good. Too early to give a real review. I will revisit later as more chapters become and give an in-depth review.
