Synopsis

Washed up on the shores of a deserted island at the edge of the East Blue Sea, two men from different backgrounds unite in their shared thirst for adventure. One of them, Portgaz D. Ace, will follow in his infamous father’s footsteps as the fearless captain of a pirate crew. The other, Masked Deuce, becomes the reluctant first member of Ace’s Spade Pirates. Survival is not enough for these seafaring buccaneers, as together they seek treasure, excitement, and a route to the New World.

Given how there is only one (negative) review, I've decided to share my thoughts as well and give it a different (more positive) perspective.

So, this light novel series is divided into 2 volumes, the first one being 130 pages long and the second one being 230 pages long (around there); and so it is quite a simple and easy read in an afternoon or two.

The first volume shows how ace got his devil fruit and how he founded and built his crew with several members being named and becoming somewhat plot relevant albeit only in the novel. This first volume follows Ace and Deuce, ...

Ace’s Story makes Ace’s character and arc in One Piece more whole. It offers lots of untold background and detailed life as a pirate.

Completely forgettable. Some guys decided to write a spin off story about Ace's journey/Pirate adventures, or so it seemed.

Everyone already seen this shit. The only new thing here is how Ace found and eat flame flame fruit, everything else is forgettable. They could've expanded the story in a whole other level, but choose not to do it. Such a waste of time. I'M GONNA SAY IT AGAIN, THERE'S NOTHING NEW HERE BESIDES ...
