edit data

Shrinivas Gaikwad, born in 2000, is an Indian fantasy writer still trying to find his footing in the world of self-publishing while balancing a full-time career as a software engineer. He hopes to complete this trilogy someday—and maybe, just maybe, earn the right to drop the word unavailing from his self-assigned pseudonym.

When he isn’t writing or working, he’s usually trying to stay fit or experimenting with musical instruments like the kalimba, violin, and whatever else catches his attention. More often than not, though, he ends up scrolling through YouTube, trying to decide what to watch next—and yes, that counts as a hobby now.

Shrinivas Gaikwad liked Meihan's review of The Ninth Knell Of Peace (Divine Grief Book 1): "I rated this a 3.5 It's a decent read. The first half was a bit slow for me and started to pick up in the middle where things start to happen. The pacing is a bit off mostly cause of the different povs for me, but not too bad. The memory based magic " Read more of this review »

Shrinivas Gaikwad and 1 other person liked Rubab Atwal's review of The Ninth Knell Of Peace (Divine Grief Book 1): "What an amazing and gripping read! The magic system is dark, well-defined, and refreshingly grounded, where power feels dangerous, limited, and deeply costly. Its rules and consequences add constant tension and reinforce the grim tone of the world. T" Read more of this review »
