About this ebook
King Grey has unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability. However, solitude lingers closely behind those with great power. Beneath the glamorous exterior of a powerful king lurks the shell of a man, devoid of purpose and will.
Reincarnated into a new world filled with magic and monsters, the king has a second chance to relive his life. Correcting the mistakes of his past will not be his only challenge, however. Underneath the peace and prosperity of the new world is an undercurrent threatening to destroy everything he has worked for, questioning his role and reason for being born again.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I feel a bit conflicted while reading this book. On one hand, the objective part of my brain is being rubbed the wrong way by the paint by numbers feel of this story and all of the typical negative pitfalls of the genre being present. On the other hand, my lizard brain is constantly being rewarded since the story is still hitting all of the standard notes that I expect.
So I end up getting pulled into the story and somewhat enjoying it as I'm reading it...until I hit a part of exceptionally bad typos and grammar errors (which are present numerous times throughout the book), but then when I think afterward about where the story has gone, I can only shake my head.
The main character becomes more overpowered than nearly any other overpowered MC in any other story. He literally does it all: best physical fighter, uses nearly all the magic, has other magic than the main type of magic, kills a creature that is so strong that it is only rumored to exist in the first book, knows how to build inventions that don't exist, and even knows how to dance. You'll see what I mean.
And this is all by the age of like 11 before he even begins attending magic school.
Imagine if Harry Potter got the invitation to Hogwarts and next thing you know he's just slaying dementors and death-eaters left and right and just Patronus-ballin out his damn mind. That's pretty much what we have here.
So yeah, technically I can't say I am liking this too much, but I also can't help but somewhat enjoy it as I'm reading it. There's nothing here that's gonna blow anybody's hair back, but honestly if you're in the mood for some anime/fantasy fiction fusion then you'll probably enjoy this series.
