BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2: The Bad Review
Chapter 2: The Bad Review
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.
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."
"If this is the quality of the remaining chapters, then I can only wonder why the author wasted his time in writing over five thousand chapters of this mess. Once again, I will iterate my point. It\'s a good concept, wasted by a bad writer."
"Authors like Exloria, Region68 or Hector would\'ve done more justice to a web novel like this. What a pity. Anyway, I\'ll wish the author luck in his future endeavors and hope he drops this and starts with something better. It\'s too late to save this carnage now."
After he finished writing his review, Eren posted it and closed the website, thinking he was never going to return to this strange sight. However, as soon as he put the phone aside, he suddenly started feeling sleepy.
He closed his eyes, not even realizing when he fell asleep.
As he fell asleep, he didn\'t notice his phone had started shining in a strange light. The light spread out, soon surrounding him as well.
After an hour, the light disappeared. But it wasn\'t the only thing that had disappeared. The phone also disappeared, along with Eren, leaving the bed completely empty.
....
"This..." Eren opened his eyes on the back of the Phoenix, his expressions getting worse by the second.
"This world... It\'s the world of that novel?" he exclaimed, his voice trembling. "How could I have entered a freakin novel?!"
He remembered the description he read in the first few chapters and this place matched that description completely. There was no doubt about it!
If anything, it felt even more incredible now that he was seeing what he had only read until now.
Things became even worse as he realized who had lived in the room at the top of the cliff! Not just that room, but the entire cliff belonged to the Elder of the Devil Sect who he had complained about!
He also remembered one more thing. When the Devilish Elder was introduced, it was also mentioned that he also has a Mythical Beast as his mount! And that beast was...
"A phoenix..." he exclaimed, looking down at the Phoenix. "This can\'t be happening. I couldn\'t have entered the world of the novel, and that too as a spy from the Hero Academy?"
In the tenth chapter of the novel, it was also mentioned that only the Master could ride the phoenix. If anyone else sat on its back, they were going to burn to ashes in an instant!
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..."
