Preliminary (39/144 chp)
To start off with the basics, number One, yes this is a Manhwa which means it's read from left to right (confused the hell outta me when i first tried to read Immortal Regis). Secondly this is the sequel to Immortal Regis, so please read it first, otherwise nothing in this Manhwa will make any sense to you at all.

Overview.
Like stated this is the sequel to Immortal Regis, but i'll be the first to say that it feels nothing like it until your a good 5-10 chapters in, your introduced to new characters, right off the bat, not given much of any kind of background to understand anything, and you wont see any old characters in for a few chapters as well.

Based in the World of Chaos a new King has risen, Nex. the world is in disarray, new pacts have been made by the once powerful four clans, and everything makes perfectly no sense.

I wont go into any more detail than that at this point because.....well it wont make any sense anyways.

STORY:
Originally my rating for this Manhwa was actually a 7 being weighted down by a rather confusing and hectic story, but i will say after re-catching myself up it's starting to pull together a little bit better, and could possible look to be pulled even higher seeing as how this Manhwa is still quite new and in the works.

The story is actually quite compelling after about the 7th to 8th chapter when things actually start to get explained a little and you know a little more about the characters and what the hell is going on. It's really interesting and "exotic" i guess would be a good way to look at it, although not truly original, the base has been quite used, but Cavalier manages to pull through and keep you watching just enough to want to know whats going on. It's got a little bit more romance thrown in this time around(which i'm a bit of a fan of) and the action is still there plenty. Once you get a decent way in you'll be reacquainted with the past caste and the story will finally start to unfold allowing you to actually appreciate the work behind the confusing as hell start.

ART:
This is one of the places i'll say Cavalier really shines. Everything looks stunning, not to mention the amount of detail put into the surroundings, and the background, nothing is left out. The character design is much the same as Immortal Regis, which you wont be seeing me complain about. You can tell that alot of work is put into the drawing , every faucet of emotion is perfect, so much detail put into the clothing and simple things like doors, signs, and your everyday "scribble it in place" drawings. One of the things i really like about the art in Cavalier is it's "Sharp" nothing is rounded out not really flowing, which sounds odd, but the fact that it's sharp like it is makes everything pop when your reading and it flows amazingly well.

ART: Always a 9+ and prolly wont be changing

CHARACTER:
This is a hard spot to really rate right off the bat, because like i said your introduced to bran new characters right off the bat, and before your really given a chance to know them there throw aside (i doubt permanently, but they've yet to be brought back), nearly the entire starting caste is pushed aside after a few chapters. But then something quite amazing happens, your reintroduced to the majority of Immortal Regis's caste, and it manages to pull together better. But this time around a little less attention is places on Jae Hyuk, and Serin, and spreads out to the subcharacters a bit more.

Cavalier also manages to dive pretty heavy into the romance side of the characters, without destroying how you look at them, the way each character reacts to one another is perfect and even a return characters from Immortal fit in nicely. Each character does a great job of complementing each other without taking to much from themselves overall nicely done.

ENJOYMENT:
Really gotta say i do enjoy the read, mainly because i'm still hooked from Immortal Regis, i want to know what happens next, i want to see the fights, the love interest, i want to finally see the story play out to it completion so i can look at is and go, OK it makes sense now.

Enjoyment: simple 8 it's compelling enough to pull me in, but not enough to make me look 3 times a day to see if there's a new chapter.


Overall

Seven. "why seven" some of you might be asking, it seems solid enough atm, and i seem to like is so why seven. Well yes it's true the story has pulled together a little more than originally and i do very much enjoy the read, but for a sequel it's just not living up to Immoral Currently. The story is a bit slower and a little lacking in comparison, character development and build are still pretty good as well as the art(very nice on the eyes). It's just currently lacking in the most important area, the story, it's just not quite there yet, but like i said it's still got room to grow, and i will say it's starting to pick up a little bit.

P.S. i will more than likely completely change this review in a couple months when Cavalier is a little more backed and solid.
