The Beginning After The End (Web Novel)

What? What are the 20 chapters in the volume? Volumes 8 and 9 had more than 50 chapters. Also, given that the story isn't even close to a resolution right now, the next volumes may be the biggest yet.

Its not a sad story per se. But the story isn't sunshine and rainbows either. Yes certain characters do die but that doesn't include many central characters. In the first part it starts off like a typical Isekai with very detailed character and world building which becomes the soul of the story. Once that part is over sh!t gets real. mid way thru, the main character gets certain unique power that makes him a bit over powered although not all powerful. This doesn't make his life easier but only attracts the attention of titans of the story towards him, further complicating the story. But if you are just starting off I must warn you that the author is simply brilliant and this is an extremely addictive story, which makes it all the more painful because he updates it only once a week although each update contains content equal to 3-4 updates of other novels. so If I were you i'd either take a slow pace of reading or wait till he is almost completes it before binge reading.

its all fine for awhile, but sh*t starts getting real. But that's what makes the later chapters so good. Like every lose or victory has a purpose. those who know know

There are deaths of some can't say major but still have roles in story later on like well after 6th vol. It gets kinda depressing ngl

You can say traumatic but the story is definetly too tier. For me this novel is my fav

Tell me one plot hole. Every freaking sub plot is focused and linked to the main plot, characters of all perspectives and different parts of the world have their own lives and interact to solve their own problems. The world building is huge. Stop messing with people here. Most of the major characters have developed as if they were real people. Look at Bairon, remember the fiery, prideful and petty guy? It manages to display how traumatic a war would be and how disturbingly nonchalant this world is towards their misery. They are just bystanders caught up in the squabbles of gods. Above all, I have never seen a protagonist that's not edgy and arrogant on this site. This story really makes him go through insane development which is so subtle, most of us miss it. Losing a lot of loved ones and being haunted by your past mistakes, thats what the protagonist displays. You haven't even said what's the problem. You might want to shut up next time when you don't know what you are talking about.

tell me the holes. there is literally none

Okay yeah you have a point but honestly I still love the story even if it isn't perfect. Yes its developed a slightly toxic community but let's not fault the novel because of that. Thanks. Also thanks in advance for the recommendations I've needed more to read :P

How do you know that there are only 2 books left?

Supreme Magus - Isekai, magic, drama, romance(bit too much drama and romance for my taste) with good magic system, world and character building for all the important characters and nicely inter-connected sub plot lines. Legendary Mechanic - Isekai, Mecha, Game World (Not a fan of mecha and didnt like the mc so I dropped it but it has good fan base) Lord of the Mysteries - Not sure but I think its a Victorian Era fantasy Isekai with magic that has big fan base. Also its completed. The Author's POV - Isekai, magic, martial art where the author reincarnates into his own story, or so he thinks (part of plot twist ;-) ) But to be frank I didnt like any of these as much as tbate or shadow slave. But may be you will.

My personal favorite is runesmith It similar to this in the worldbuilding but goes off and really develops in its own way

The Legendary Mechanic is a great, system novel, such is Supremacy games however it can be depending on the person a slow burn at times. The new "Harem" novel that just shot up into 6th place is also meant to be amazing for not just the plot, but worldbuilding and general novel idea. Everyone else is a returnee was also very good due to the mc's nature and character progression (turns into more of a functioning human). Revered insanity for, well idek at this point. Just a great novel however can also be fairly slow. Library of heavens path / super gene / dual cultivation. Those are some lesser recommendations as in my eyes were a pretty big time waste. However each to their own!

Lord of the mysteries

Arthur doesn't control mana in the sense you mentioned. He controls aether, which is like a vessel that can govern and channel mana. They are like the complements yin and yang (mana and aether I mean). When a person insists the will upon mana, it is the aether that transforms that will into action. Since he can sense and control this very medium or vessel he can basically sense any and all mana movements and / or defend against them using aether regardless of whether the mana is of elemental nature or pure or corrosive. Its like if there is a cup of water, he cannot control the water, but he can control all the aspects of the cup, which holds the water.

i said it before, and I'll say it again: brace yourself. the war arc isn't abt the rise of a hero

You are in for a great ride... It's quite frankly the best novel ever

Good luck . It is great.

You do realize that asuras cant enter the relictombs right... also why would the djinn give their relic to an asura, nothing you say makes sense.

The knife definitely wasnt a relic considering Caeras brother had it for awhile and Caera knew all about it, and djinn remnant said they gave their keystone to "a worthy descendant" so it has to be someone with djinn blood most likely, which as far as we know Alacryans don't have. Th djinn also said he gave his relic to someone a very long time ago and Caeras brother has only been missing for a year max, even if the time in the relictombs works differently, a year wouldn't be considered a very long time.
