Nocturne -- Book 1 -- Umbral Savage: Post Apocalyptic Progression Fantasy Paperback – 18 May 2024

Great start to one of the better stories in this genre. Interesting characters, a plot worth getting invested in and lots of action. Enjoyed getting into this new world, cannot wait to see how things evolve. Roll on the next book! Strongly recommended.

A fantastic new take on a system apocalypse. Love the original and detailed pillars. I cannot wait for more. The main character is honourable and endearing while still being bloodthirsty as hell.

It's got everything you would want system integration and a great plot that just keeps you wanting to read the next page, an assassin who wanted to kill the people responsible for kidnapping and enslaving girls and women gets transported to an elite tutorial and then buckle up as its a rollercoaster ride of reveals intrigue fighting and stats, not forgetting that sweet sweet loot come to mama.

Super start. Tightly written, good story line,. So far very impressed. I just want more. Can not wait. Great start

Really good progression story would have been higher rated butGrammar let it down pointless commas everywhere and double words.

Not just another litrpg book, mirrors today's society-rich getting away with anything poor getting jumped, but someone with morals empathy and a will to get the job done. Cannot wait for book 2. Seriously, dive in and enjoy a story worth living.

An enjoyable story and characters but this novel definitely needs a bit more editing. Sentence structure, punctuation and word use all need to be cleaned up.

This is exactly the kind of character I like reading about for an MC. An indomitable person that never shys away from doing the right thing, no matter who will come after them for doing so. Someone willing to make an enemy of the world, without so much as flinching.This read will not dissapoint you.All of the action for this takes place in the tutorial, but the next one has them released.

I haven't finished the book yet, but couldn't help put my current thoughts out. The editing needs work, I usually don't care much about this, but sometimes you don't even know who is talking because quote marks are missed and paragraph breaks are used weirdly. Sometimes I'm not sure if something is being said or is an internal monologue. You can often guess what's going on but the context is difficult to grasp sometimes. Who's the boss, sub commander or first blade?I assume (hope) this is going to be resolved soon, but the MCs simping is getting rough. I get that you like her hips, stop telling me. This is more aimed at the author, but show emotions/feelings through actions, stop just telling me what the character is feeling, it feels really wooden. Maybe the intent is to convey the MCs stunted emotions, but it feels bad.All that said, I am enjoying the book, the system/setting seems interesting, MC is making reasonable decisions, and I see potential for interesting storylines, both immediate and longer term.

This book has the potential to turn into a great series. Like Primal Hunter but with an MC that has real emotions, not antisocial, and grows throughout the book. What’s not to like. But like some of the other reviews said, please check your spelling and grammar. Those repeating words and the ocean of commas really throws me off every few pages. The first book in the series is the most important to hook people. These are the kinds of issues that might stop some people from reading future books in the series. This is 100% worth the authors time to fix.

Good story, but there is a tendency for sets of 1-4 words to be repeated immediately after each other, which disturbs the flow of the reading. Furthermore, the completely wrong word is used several times and for some words throughout the entire book (of for forms of have), which is sometimes a bit irritating.

This is an enjoyable tale, although a little derivative of the Primal Hunter series in it's use of Primordials, Bloodlines, and a multi-versal system. That said, this is much more grimdark than comedy OP, unlike Primal Hunter.Where this really needs work is in editing. There are missing punctuation marks, sentences that end prematurely, repeated recursive passages, incorrect words, and words used incorrectly."Notched" where "Noticed" should be."Irresolute" where "Resolute" should be.And for the love of God, please learn the difference between "tenants" and "tenets"!!If this can be edited and cleaned up, it would be a much better read.

The story and characters are great, but the book is riddled with errors. Words are often repeated twice in a row, and occasionally sentences are out of order. The book has obviously been spell checked, but needs a thorough edit.
