Talk:The Leviathos Chronicles

Official NRC Review
Ah. The Leviathos Chronicles. A former Featured Story. Considered by many, (including me), to be the quintessential epic on this wiki. The most popular story in the GMS, with the possible exception of The Darkness Returns, the sequel of epic scope.

As you probably know, I am a fan of TheSlicer's stories, and this story that he and Biogecko worked on is exciting, interesting, and fast-paced. (Though not as fast-paced as TEG, so there is room for excellent character development, especially with the deadly Bounty hunter Nightwatcher and Leviathos, for whom this epic is named. TheSlicer, like all good authors, has created a completely believable universe. It is not far removed from reality, the characters are well-rounded, interesting, and realistic beneath their biomechanical armor. The descriptions are flawless in most of the chapters, and both biogecko and TheSlicer keep the plot moving along well, with plenty of (epic) Nightwatcher quotes: The word bounty, fool, as in Bounty Hunting. I don't work for free. And many more. Nightwatcher and Leviathos are extreme opposites in so many ways, but both the antihero bounty hunter and the heroic Noctian both share some traits, as revealed in the final chapters and the epilogue.

The one reason why TDR supasses this in my opinion is the fact that in some chapters, especially the early ones, there is less description than most of the later chapters. Also, it can be slightly confusing if you have not read Leviathos' Story before you read this, as it was for me when I first read this story. This is not much of a problem, considering TLC is far above the normal description standards of most stories on this wiki, but compared with TDR, this shows more.

My final rating is a solid A, though TDR still surpasses it, TLC is obviously one of the greatest epics on this wiki. LET  THE   GAMES   BEGIN!!!!!  02:15, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
