King Grey has unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed through martial ability. However, solitude lingers closely behind those with great power. Beneath the glamorous exterior of a powerful king lurks the shell of man, devoid of purpose and will. Another thing the author did really well, in my humble opinion, is how he sometimes split the point of view of certain characters instead of just having the point of view from the protagonist, this help understand how supporting characters feel and make you care about them way more. Also, the way he does it is so natural that you don't feel lost not knowing who is narrating the story. Many author are trying the Isekai genre, I understand how the easy concept can make almost any story kind off interesting, however, I will have to say that The Beginning after the end does something with it that work extremely well. Arthur isn't perfect, he is limited to a childs physical prowess. Basically he still only weighs so much and his limbs are only so long. He has to contend with parents who just think he's a genius, rather than a reborn warrior king who has all his memories. At the age of 4 he's capable of defending himself against adults and he has already awakened powers that no child his age ever has before. And I found as more of the power fantasy presented itself, the less attached I became to the story. Also, it became clear that this is gearing up for a high fantasy type of story as we get hints of higher powers and greater conflict. Okay, I'll be honest and admit that the blurbs for the rest of the series clued me on that more than what's actually in this story. It's too bad because I think I'd like it more if it remained more idyll/pastoral than higher-concept conflict.

There’s no way you can read T he Beginning After the End, Vol. 1 and not be eager to experience more of Arthur’s adventure, so for more The Beginning After the Endcontent, head to Tapas, where you can read the original webcomic, and stay tuned for news on the print edition of The Beginning After the End, Vol. 2! No longer a skilled and intelligent ruler, Arthur struggles to keep up with his infant body—an enjoyable aspect of this first volume where we witness both the challenges and joys of Arthur adjusting to his new life. Learning how to crawl becomes a humbling experience, but overcoming that challenge brings more satisfaction than when he conquered enemies as a fearsome king. Meanwhile, his father’s roughhousing is scarier than the battlefield since Arthur is only a foot tall. It’s also a lot of fun to see his brilliant and complex thoughts often misunderstood by his parents. But the most important of Arthur’s lessons comes in the form of learning about this world of magic—an intriguing system that is just as fascinating to the reader as it is to Arthur. Personally, the story started off sounding very similar to various web novels I have read. The beginning sounds the most similar to Mushoku Tensei where the MC dies and is reborn in a world with magic. As soon as he can crawl, he goes to the family's study and learns about magic, becoming adept at a very young age. His father is wild and uncouth, a former adventurer, and his mother is a healer. But that's how web novels are, they use similar ideas from other stories and basically make a parody of them. As the story continues, it shapes up into it's own original tale and I continued it excitedly.

The humor is pervasive but didn’t resonate with me, that might be another reason I struggled to enjoy this. This might get better when the protagonist's body grows up, maybe I’ll give it another chance in the future. The Beginning After the End, Vol. 1 contains the early years of our hero, Arthur Leywin. In his past life, he was the mighty King Grey, who led armies and fought wars until his mysterious death. He is then reincarnated as the newborn Arthur Leywin, raised by first-time parents in a magical world that he knows nothing about. What’s a king to do in this brave new world…let alone in the body of an infant! Well, at first I found the comics @ Tapas (and yes - the best comment was "They say I was born a commoner's son"). But then... something happened and whoosh! Early Years is an ok book. I'm not sure I would continue the series if I didn't already have book 2. If you are not used to these styles, this book will be very difficult to read and come off as amateurish and low quality. If you are used to it, the reading will go smoothly and you'll find yourself laughing at the humor quite easily.

A friend had recommended this to me AGES ago and after reading the manga, I proceeded to Hoover this down because I NEEDED to know what happened next. I love that while the MC IS powerful, he isn’t OTT powerful. Those older than him with more experience can and do overpower him, but he LEARNS from these interactions and he strives to better himself so he can protect those he loves AND he trains those he loves to be able to defend themselves. I love it! The infodumps. Oh the infodumps. It's like the author decided on that instead of story. Sometimes I don't mind, like Worth the Candle has just slightly too much of this but I read them all because it's a good book and the info is usually interesting. I just don't care about them here tho like. Work it into the story. Cut it if I don't need to know it. FFS. Do better. The adorable illustrations paired with the intriguing, magical story will interest anyone who loves an epic, manga fantasy tale such as “Fairy Tail.” I can’t wait to see how Arthur grows and changes in the next installment! Der erste Band einer Graphic Novel stellt sich recht häufig als eine etwas längere Einführung in die Geschichte dar und diese hier ist da keine Ausnahme. Für mich lebt diese Erzählung von den Bildern und dem Vergnügen einer erwachsenen Seele bei ihrer Wiedergeburt als Baby zuzusehen, denn das ist es so weit: ein erfolgreicher König aus einer martial art Welt (auch wenn diese deutlich westliche Komponenten hat scheint seine Macht aus der Nutzung seines Qi zu kommen) stirbt unter mysteriösen Umständen und wird standepede in einem komplett anderen Universum wiedergeboren. Er erinnert sich noch an alles aus seinem vorherigen Leben und hat die Auffassungsgabe eines Erwachsenen, muss sich aber zuerst mit den Einschränkungen eines Babykörpers abfinden.The emotions that the author is trying to make the reader feels were on point, it's something hard to explain but having strong feeling of anger toward characters or feeling relieved enough for me to sigh deeply, i felt connected to the protagonist enough and supporting characters to put myself in their positions without even trying to. 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 man, devoid of purpose and will.

The story on itself is fine. It does not look like it is going to be the most original ever or the characters are going to be specially bright by themselves. Not great, nor terrible, but I just cannot go over how poor the quality is. Except for the paper, the parer is quite nice. The problem is what you print on it I guess. Mother! I’m about to begin my journey to become the greatest mage in the world! Do not make me out to be a constipated infant!” The first thing to be noted is that this series follows the literary style of Japanese web novels. That means the fourth wall is broken a lot and the characters will make side comments directed at the reader. Overall, it reads a lot like a blog or a diary. That's why you'll see things like Arthur's POV when different characters narrate. The story telling itself is a mix of wuxia/xianxia and Japanese, meaning there are things like ki cores and absorbing energy from the atmosphere, but instead of ki, it's mana. Zu der Geschichte kann ich noch nicht viel sagen, da wir erst ausführlich in die Welt und das Magiesystem eingeführt wurden und jede Menge Charaktere kennengelernt haben. Die Story ist dabei noch nicht so weit vorangeschritten. Aber ich bin gespannt, was uns noch erwartet und hoffe, dass Band 2 etwas dynamischer wird.

Ongoing The Beginning After The End is an epic fantasy story written by TurtleMe. The novel is on Tapas where it is updated weekly. It is currently available in English. There is also a webcomic adaptation which can also be found on Tapas. Anyway, not borrowing trouble, I think I'll round the 4½ up to five stars just for the depth of the emotional resonance in this prodigy/genius/old guy. And particularly with the depth of relationship with Sylvie (the elder) and the elven not-the-king. Very well done for all I'm not going to pursue further. and Tess. I do hope sometimes the author developed Lukas Wykes into a becoming more intelligent sub villain, so that it was much satisfying to see his suffering. In comparison, Tess has a great premise in the start with her having an elf ancestry and royal lineage. Despite that, her character become seemly more immature further in the book like how every intelligent woman goes dumb when they fall in love. She have gone under several situations and I expected her to learn from it nonetheless it just fueled her to prove that she is strong seemingly just want dive through without considering the current situations. Though I think its because family sheltered her and she never realizes the gravity of the situation. For the main character, just like how I said earlier, the author repeat the same scenario and it just shows how the main character developed in terms of strength but his attitude almost stays the same.
