Bonded Summoner by JJBookerson

I'm bored waiting for weekly releases, kinda miss Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years, It released several chapters a day, now everything has become so empty I'm going to try this, since I'm dying of boredom.

(currently caught up at book 2: ch 20)

I'm enjoying this far more than most people might. First off I do admit that the mc lacks a certain depth that you can't quite put your finger on but I think that's because we always expect stories like this to be built around the mc's personal tragedy or something so it seems a bit lackluster and lacks the interests in the mc that we might usually have.

It might just be me doing mental gymnastics to find any reason to continue salivating over the use of multi-versal god relations, but I think thats the point, its not about just the mc its about his family, I cut slack for romantic realism because polygamy is hard to portray lmao.

Now for why I enjoy this so much. I mean, MY GOD WHAT A CREATIVE MIND. Aside from the fact that anything mixing mythology could probably get me kidnapped if a weird uncle teased it through the window of a white van, the sheer amount of creativity between the concept of Tartarus and the framework to the character design of his bonds and the detailed description on equipment alongside the detailed explanation of their trade skills and magic usage, I had half believed that if I'd followed the explanations I'd read that I'd become a spell wielding master myself. Yeah, sure if you mentioned dual bloodlines and twin souls and valkyries anywhere on a novel site it'd be the run of the mill normal things for fantasy novels but when it's presented in such a informative fashion thats so fluid that it seems real, thats where things start to get special, this is something special and it has a hell of a lot of potential.

This is something I'll definitely continue to read so long as this sort of creativity continues bra-f#ckin-vo so far I'd say absolutely read it from what I've seen thus far.

Standard but fun. Just finished what’s essentially the prologue and while the MCs a little bit of a simpy guy, it’s fine

Rank: D+

That's good, but it's so, Meh, you know?

summoner Mcs that actully try to fight like a summoner are a rare product, rare enough that if you like that niche you will end up reading anything in the category regardless of quality

Decent, but hella basic tbh. The characters read like paper-thin cutouts at times; complexity is attempted, but it all kinda falls through because of the pacing? All the FMCs just... sorta end up falling in love with him? Even the MC isn't the most interesting guy; admittedly, that might be the point, I'm not sure, but I'm not really invested in his character or any of it. A lot of his personality and the way he's portrayed sorta give me 'nice guy' vibes.

Give it a shot, I guess. It's still better than any other summoning-harem I've read, but don't expect greatness. Only averageness here.
