Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

It is said that Garlan, believed to be the child of destiny, returned to his distant past life in order to break the curse that ensured his death upon reaching adulthood. He valiantly battled his arch-enemy, vied for the throne, and sought to save a kingdom on the brink of destruction. However, he was defeated by his arch-enemy four times. Upon being reborn once more, he felt incapable of defeating his nemesis and was determined to escape, yearning for a life of freedom and happiness.

Yet, in this lifetime, his former arch-enemy became a loyal follower. Pushed by the people around him, he unwittingly embarked on the treacherous and glorious path to the throne, filled with thorns and honor. A millennium later, the song of the “Wise King” still echoed throughout the land.

This story depicts the journey of a reborn youth who, with the support of numerous followers and the protection of his once-enemy-turned-loyal-ally, gradually transformed from a young prince into a wise and noble ruler.

The writing in this text is delicate, with an intriguing and captivating plot that maintains a sense of grandeur. It subtly carries the style of ancient European and Eurasian epic legends, with meticulous descriptions of scenes and emotions, creating vivid imagery. Through the words, one can experience the distinct charm of the fantasy Eurasian era.

Each character in the story possesses distinct traits, and the interactions between the protagonist and his ally are filled with sweetness and charm.

At first, I have been avoiding this novel. But when I started reading, I couldn't put it down. The story is different from what I had expected. The MC is definitely the hero of the story.

Definitely recommended.

Stars! This was really good! The characters and the sheer amount of world-building this novel has is, wow! It's absolutely superb! I cried while reading some parts, it made so emotional that I was shocked. I give a thousand kudos to the author for achieving this! I love this novel! I mean I really really LOVE this novel. I fell in love with the characters and their story. I love the sense of history this novel exudes. Ancient civilizations are so awesome to learn about.

The plot, while seemingly cliche is... more>> totally not!!!! There is more to Galland and his revenge on Hymos than it seems. Also, I cannot help, but keep raving on how the characters are depicted! Prince Galland, King Camos (T_T), Hymos, and Nega! I'm not gonna lie when Galland finally ascended I had the lion king song, you know the one where Simba slowly climbs pride rock to ascend his throne? in my head the entire time. I had the feels so baaaaddd! And when King Camos.... well.... you are just going to have to read it it to find out.

This novel spoiled me for future novels. I know I'm not going to be able to find another novel like this unless it was somehow magically hidden from me. If anyone knows similar novels, preferably shounen-ai, but really good Het ones are fine as well, but female protagonists, please tell me! I'm going to go cry now. This novel totally left me an emotional wreck. <<less

I cried a river at the ending.

I loved the story a lot. In the beginning, it was hard to keep track of things happening at the start of each chapter as there was a bit of a jump between the end of one chapter and the beginning of the following one. However, you get used to it. There is a bit of drama in the story, but it's still well-written, and I couldn't stop reading even though I usually hate dramas that play with my feelings. I cried a lot... more>> at the ending. My complaint is how there were always interruptions when they were being intimate. I would have loved it if they went to bed earlier on. <<less

I am still halfway

I never expected to find a beautifully written novel here. This is not your ordinary webnovel

... more>> Author is really good at story plotting and character development. All the MC, ML and side character shine in their own way. Even the mob villain, main villain, etc also shining

I really adore this. More than 300 chapters and I don't think it's too much

Please just read it. You'll find yourself fall in love with this story

This is like Arslan Sekni and Kingdom fusing with a little bit of BL

10/5 stars for me 💕

EDIT

I finally finish reading it. Still 10/5 for me. So beautifully written

The ending is perfect. The side story ending is also good

I kinda feel reluctant when I read the last chapter. Especially when Tal's reincarnation appeared. I am so curious about him in this current lifetime. He is my fav side chara

I love all the side couple too. The cunning sinister head priest x female knight soon to be female general is my fav ship. I am so ciurious about how they meet and how their love blossomed

Emma and Novi is the pair that I really want to see romance blossomed between them. Their personality and background are really interesting (I know they are not a couple, but those two make me wish that they are)

Overall, this is a must read for every one. I regret not reading it sooner <<less

I didn't know that this was a gem! If I knew earlier I've would've read it sooner.

I've been addicted to infrastructures/kimgdom building right now and this novel is the third one. And so far one of my favorites. Before reading the novel, I would read those comments if it is good enough to read it and it was worth it even though there are some spoilers on it. I would still like to read it even though my mood when I read it is always up, down, up, down and... more>> up, just repeating it.

This novel is just not ordinary like any novels I've read so far but I can feel the emotions in those characters in every scenario in that story. All those love, devotion, pain, sadness, death, even those negative and positive emotions and most all the patience of the ML for the MC in accepting his love. <<less

I like how all of the characters have a flaw. King Camos is clearly too bias towards Garlan, Garlan is a little brat who obviously has a psychological shadow when it comes to Heimos, and Ziemuer's strong sense of responsibility had hurt Garlan in the past.

I like the direction where the story is going and sometimes, even Garlan frustrates me to death for personal reasons.

First impression:

As usual in a hero/mob x villain story, I have to suspend some of my disbelief. Considering how much time MC used to have in each life, he has had at least 3 years (not including the first) to fear and hate the ML, and yet he's seemingly completely ok with being friendly with ML's child self.

Just wonderful, piece of art. It's novel boring, the author did a great job writing cliffhangers, cleverly, giving great assets to her characters.

Love love love!

P.s how do you put a novel in favourite from smartphone?

Oh my God, this novel I deeply regret reading it I finished it while I'm in trouble. I cannot enjoy any other novel that I find boring and cannot dive into its events. Someone has to save me with a similar novel because I forgot how many times I read it again I can't get out of it) ':

5/5

Amazing. That’s all I have to say. I really enjoyed this read like crazy— it’s the type of novel where finally finishing it is such a bittersweet experience because you know that you’ll miss it.

First off— the characters are so enjoyable, whether it’s the MC, the ML or the supporting characters. All of them have their own role that can’t be replaced and it’s a story where the side characters are loveable, 3D and interesting, and each have their own time to shine.

The male lead seems a little bit like... more>> the typical ‘possessive, strong ML’ at first but as you continue to read, you learn how fleshed out and vulnerable he is as a person— something that the MC brings out like a star.

Speaking of the MC— one of the reviews say that he’s a Gary Stu but in the story he needs to be, and I can’t agree more. He’s a very well-written character and even though he has an important that he needs to fulfill, he very much has his own flaws and traumas that make him into who he is.

I’m not usually crazy for extremely drawn out slow burn romance but in this story it’s just right, and I never felt impatient. There’s a lot of things that happen and get uncovered in this story and there are always interactions between the main characters that make everything feel like it’s falling into place at the perfect pace.

I felt a lot of emotions, (both happy and sad— with both laughter and tears) reading this story and it’s definitely something I would recommend and personally re-read. <<less

Do I need to say more?

100k/5 stars!

As an mxtx fan with high standards when it comes to bl novels and BL gongs, I highly recommend this novel.

... more>> Ok fine, here are my thoughts:

The short synopsis actually got me scared, thinking that this was gonna be a depressing ride with a scum gong... BUT I WAS IMMENSELY WRONG.

Although there was indeed angst and tragedy... It was the kind of tragic and angsty story similar to mxtx's works. You know, the kind that would make you cry like in tgcf, will crush your heart, and make your eyes hurt, but would still make you satisfied and think that everything was so beautiful and meticulously written. Don't be scared of the description, it's bearable and there are more fluff than angst to the point that your tooth would ache from the sweetness.

PLOT
The plot is AMAZING, METICULOUS, CUTE, ENGAGING, ANGSTY, PLOT CENTERED, ENTERTAINING, And did I mention CUTE? I remember reading a review saying this is like arslan senki but gay? Hmm, I somehow agree.

MC
A ball of sunshine and cuteness. He underestimate his charm, courage, charisma and worth so much that it's heart-wrenching and adorably fascinating at the same time. He cares for the people, he's brave, SMART, compassionate and has a self-sacrificing tendency. I actually wondered how such a person who suffered painful deaths over and over again could still have a kind heart and not blacken. He's truly the son of destiny huh. Also, don't think he's weak just because many wants to protect him, he's absolutely strong in his own way and when you underestimate him, 'your head would be sent flying in the air without even having time to react'. I love him. His brother, the king, loves him; the lion cub loves him; his enemy loves him; his mentor loves him; the knights loves him and his people loves him. AAHHH IM SQUUEELLINGGG LIKE A PIG BECAUSE OF HIS INNOCENT AND WHOLESOME HAREM! Everyone in the kingdom loves him. And he deserves it, he deserves the world.

ML
Head over heels obsessed and in love with the MC. MC is the only good thing in his miserable life, his only light that saved him from the darkness of his heart. Tbh, I hate the ML, I still hate him even when I know what happened to him. But well... It's still fine whatever. <<less

So far the story is good, first time reading danmei fantasy and it has a really good plot, BUT... I don't know why I don't like ML or heimos, like.. what the hell have you killed someone four times in your life and traumatized someone but it's like you don't feel really sinful, well apart from that he doesn't remember but I'm sick of his indecent thoughts towards Garland, uhh I hope the author quickly returns his memories of his past life so that he too can suffer not only... more>> Garland is traumatized <<less

MTL Completed, readability 90%.

This was a feast differ from regular danmei plot. It was not easy to be able to forgive and even love the person who killed you 4 times.

Even though that person have their own pitiful reason for killing you, most often you'll find him and kill him before he grow up. But MC did not do that, for that alone you know that he's the MC 💝.
