Sometimes I like reading progression stories where protagonists reach incredibly high power levels. It's a hard balance to strike, to be sure.Īll in all, I enjoyed Wavebound and I think anyone who is looking for a lighthearted read about a newly minted goddess will enjoy this story. I think the story could have benefited from a stronger focus on a few important plotlines, giving the rest less narrative weight without being entirely omitting them. It gives the fiction a plodding tempo, I think, even though a lot of things do happen. Is it understandable? Yes, but it's still frustrating for a dozen things to pursue opening up while little progress is made on most of them. Ruyo handles things coming at her in a very scattershot and distractible way. The writing style is dry at times, lacking a little bit of vitality - which is a little disappointing when other times we do feel that direct connection to what's going on. If that sounds like your vibe, it's quite integral to the entire story and may be a good reason to read it. Her world is something of a resettled post-apocalypse, where the current inhabitants were dumped into the setting a few hundred years ago atop the ruins of what seems like much our own civilization. The relationships are diverse and interesting. People she help, people who want to use her, people who don't care either way. She just wants to be able to take the divinity she's gained and make it grow while making people happy.Īnd the people are just as important too. Our main character Ruyo is likeable, and (as up to reading) she doesn't have grandiose thoughts about ruling the world or having people grovel at her feet. This story is something of a progression-style one, where the main conflicts have to do with power, accumulating it, and the problems that happen due to the lack of it.
Wavebound is a story about a young merchant Ruyo who finds herself inadvertently placed on the path to godhood. (Note that volumes 1, 2, 3 and 6 are available on RoyalRoad, while volumes 4 and 5 are available exclusively on Amazon Kindle, either via Unlimited or an a la carte purchase of $2.99 each.)
