Stone Mage: Revenge of the Villain System

Author here giving myself 1 star so you don't have to. Don't read this book. I don't want any new readers or whatever anymore. I just want to write in peace for myself and the very few that have reached 100+ chapters so far without problems or complaints. So here I am begging you not to read, go find something else worth your time.

This novel has a well developed background, you can see author has put some thought into it to make it unique and I give them props for that. The writing quality is good plus updates are stable. The problems however crop up with the plot and mc's character. Ignoring the fact that the mc is only a villain in name and closer to an edgy teen with a deep seated inferiority complex, he isnt active enough. The trope of a character being inserted into a story having a grudge with the hero isnt anything new, but they are driven by the heroes rapid improvement to take drastice measure and risks to keep up. We dont have any of that here because the hero/protag is a useless harem seeker, literally. The mc is content with reading all day and doing some minor training than purposefully seeking to improve himself. I know hes really young and cant do much, but that then begs the question, why are we wasting our time focusing on the events during this time period? Its nothing better than filler. This is where the plot falls flat, its boring, whole chapters are wasted on character's talking to each other or on events that dont really affect the story in the long run. Not to mention the absurdity of a food fight starting amongst nobles during a formal birthday party. I thought I was reading a children's story at that point.

I love this story! It's a completely new take on system books, which I'm not going to lie completely makes sense. Why become the slave of a useless mc, when the system can become the mc itself? This book was completely new and unexpected for me. I'm not going to lie I love it!

The novel had the potential to be a great story but after the first couple, it turned into 1 of those dumb typical system novels. If you would've read I HATE SYSTEM you are going to understand what I'm saying. I gave this novel about 40 chapters and the Mc gives no sort of intellect of someone who's been a system for years also if u were a system why would you need another system? He has the most basic goal, been a system for so long only to go into a world just to kill the protagonist why cuz he didn't like how he was treated and cuz the dude was dumb. This isn't the worse system novel but it's light-years away from being something interesting and smart. Turn your brain and expectation and this will fill up your mind for whatever period until you find something of substance.

3 chapters in and I'm hooked. Honestly this story has such a unique way of doing systems since usually it's a pretty common trope. But this time around the author did something way different that nobody would expect and I won't spoil that for you! But you should give it a read, I did. I don't regret it either, it has been worth my time and continues to be worth my time. I will be saving this and recommending to others who need a good and fresh read for the system types of stories.[img=update][img=update]

Dropped when i found out bella was a trans femenist, im extremely transphobic and femenists are really weird

I suffered through 78 chapters. It may sound like a joke but.... Nothing much happened. I feel like the story could have been told in less than 10 chapters. The whole story feels like a K-Drama or a traditional book. Systems may play a role but honestly they feel out of place. During 78 chapters the system does absolutely nothing but talk a bit to the MC and feed us even more useless background information. The setting, world and the characters are very bland and boring. The writing is really quite good though and it is kinda interesting to read about the secrets. Anyway I may continue to read this but I can just tell anyone that his is EXTREMELY slow paced. So if you like most Novels on this website and dislike traditional books you will probably dislike this story.

Review number 2, the book has an amazing start. fir like first 10 chapters, the book was doing very well. then mc became too passive for my taste. However, if u people don't want to miss a masterpiece, don't drop it until you reach 32chapter. remember, read first 30 chapters!! force yourself to do so, else you are gonna miss a GEM!! DONT MISS IT! ELSE U GONNA REGRET IT!

The story is interesting and fascinating, the idea of System's possesing a body isn't exactly new but it's a trope which very few use and I'm personally excited for the future endeavors of this. Good luck, Author-san!

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. I wasn't really planning to read this novel, but the starting chapter hooked me so bad that I ended up reading it till the latest chapter. This is something new and original and I appreciate that. Once you start reading this, you will get hooked and want more. The story development so far is great, there was a thing that I find Min's behavior in starting a little annoying but if he was made to be annoying then Mr. author you did great in that. This story is gold, give it a try if you're planning to read this.

I enjoy the concept of it, its rare to read such original concept. or maybe I haven't read one related to it? The idea just, yes. I wonder if there ever gonna be a comic or manhwa made out of it. Cause I really wanna read itt. It shouldn't be too hard to draw one too since the details given are just 🤌 good. The English also comforts my eyes, I don't need think too much of meaning when reading, it's simple and straight forward :D This a kind of book I won't feel embarrassed or shy to share with friends. (Already did) This is my kneecap for the year just keep publishing more good quality chapters. 🙇🙇‍♀️🙇‍♂️

Readers who see the word "villain" and look through the synopsis might have the mistaken impression that this is one of those novels with an evil, bloodthirsty protagonist whose story will revolve constant murder...and that's not entirely wrong, but also not quite right, either. The protagonist is definitely a villain, but he's shades of gray, rather than pitch black. I would recommend going into this novel not expecting to see a Leylin or something. For me, this was actually a very pleasant surprise. I found the story to be well-written, well-paced, and intriguing. My favorite part is the relationship between the golden hero and our MC Ronin. It's very complicated and enmeshed. I find it fascinating and fun to read. The book ended on a hopeful note, and I'm very much looking forward to the author's sequel.

Pretty much the same as every other novel. The whole thing about him being a system doesn't end up mattering as the author makes him a overly prideful retard with no talent. He's just as worthless as the protagonists he claims to hate. Thanks for the giant bait and switch, author! Spend your time elsewhere.

Started out really cool and had a good premise, but the story is ruined by the Authors's inability to take his own social points and views out and just tell a good story. The world he's created is one where the societal elements feel forced and overbearing, overshadowing any potential for a captivating narrative. It's as if the author's main goal was to push his personal beliefs onto the reader, rather than allowing them to form their own opinions and interpretations. Furthermore, the characters lack depth and seem like mere vessels for the author's ideologies rather than fully fleshed-out individuals with their own motivations and struggles. They often come across as one-dimensional and predictable, making it difficult to truly connect with their journeys. As the story progresses, it becomes increasingly evident that the plot takes a backseat to the author's relentless desire to convey their social points and views. This single-minded approach detracts from the overall experience, leaving the reader feeling like they've been bombarded with a heavy-handed agenda rather than being taken on an immersive and engaging adventure. What could have been an intriguing and thought-provoking tale ultimately falls flat due to the author's inability to strike a balance between storytelling and preaching. A good story should be able to stand on its own merits without being burdened by an excessive push for particular social viewpoints. In conclusion, while the premise of the book showed promise, the author's inability to separate their personal agenda from the storytelling process ultimately led to a disappointing read. It's essential for writers to respect their audience and allow them the space to explore and form their own opinions. Unfortunately, in this case, the author's self-indulgence hindered the potential success of what could have been a compelling and enjoyable book.

I will drop this for 3 reasons 1. the author is gay and his previousl works are all Gay story that a big red flage and you will know why , 2. senen he is a gay that explains the system unexplained behavior through the mc having a harm or chesing woman it doesn’t make sense to heat him at all the aurthor is gay so no woman or girl allowed here that why he heat him maybe he will add a gay relationship i will not be surprise if this is happened i don’t mind having no normal non gay romance in novel but it just feel force dut to the author background and that of course effect the system behavior, 3.The worst for last, the world building is stupid for one reason The video game tag its horrible if it’s just game then it just doesn’t matter what MC dose with his harm or system the ranking also doesn’t matt er in the ends is just VR game so why not just normal world with one hero ? Or just not video game ? that story is not for me...

Read the whole thing, this novel is very good, probably my second favorite behind shadow slave. The end was such a cliffhanger, definitely a 8/10 novel
