This is in the middle of the pack when it comes to wizard cultivation novels. Unlike its predecessors it has realistic individuals with enough kind people to balance out the arrogant ones. The MC isn't evil and cares a bit about friendship. However, there are a lot of things I dislike. First is the slow progression. It has taken 170 chapters just for the MC to unlock his magic. This amount of time is ridiculous and should've never happened. Second is the amount of time the MC is an apprentice and taking unnecessary risks. He should have been smarter based off his previous teacher Jon, but instead he has been selling alchemy weapons, participating in death matches for fun and allowing his enemies who want to kill him to power up at a faster rate than him (Which is BS as the MC should be over 10 times faster with his technique.) Thirdly is the way how the author tries to create mystery in this novel about the 'truth'. What truth are you even talking about?? You never really gave it a real explanation and used it as a plot stopper by making his own teacher refusing to teach the MC anything at all because this rank 2 wizard wants a 15yr old boy to find the 'truth' of the universe by himself in 1 year. And the last problem I have is how the MC hasn't shown any urgency to save Jon. Instead the author has held it off and only brought it up when ever its relevant in the arcs. Overall I dropped this fic around chapter 265 due to the pacing being horrendously slow. (Weird since I usually love slow pace stories.)

THIS IS AN ACTUAL REVIEW WITH DETAILS AND SUMMARY. READ IT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WAS WRITTEN FOR THE NEW RELEASE NOVEL AND THEREFORE IS ONLY UP TO DATE ON THE MOST RECENT CHAPTER (14). Tags: Male Lead; Magic; ? Age Rating: 12+ - No strong language thus far in the first 14 chapters, but violence is likely to occur and there has been some slight horror themes. Summary: A man calling himself Jon is transported to a different world, carrying with him only a plant and the object used to transport himself there- the Alien Eye. The noble Padt Family saves him from his near-death state and takes him in, offering him a job as a fruit grower. This is not his story. Twenty years later, Viscount Noah Padt, the man who originally took in Jon is dead, and his eldest son Leon Padt stands to inherit. Angor Padt, the younger son, has been mentored by Jon, and learned of a strange place called "Earth." However, Jon, at a mere fifty-some years of age, is withering away. He tells Angor that "Gaia's Will," or the will of this world, is rejecting him for not being originally from there. When Count Eton comes through, seeking the "Morning Dew," or a tea made from the plant Jon had brought with him, a wizard is accompanying him. Wizards are the stuff of myths and legends, but this one reveals himself for the Morning Dew. After it helps him achieve a breakthrough, he offers the Padts one favor. Though Angor first tries to save Jon, the wizard fails. Instead, Angor asks for the oppurtunity to become a wizard. During his testing, it is revealed that Angor does indeed have the necessary talent. Translation Quality: 5/5: There are no obvious grammar or spelling errors, and everything seems fine. Stability of Updates: 4/5: Hard to judge. I'm giving it a 4/5 since we can't tell this early on in the translation. Story Development: 5/5: Already interesting and unique. Instead of centering around the transmigrator (Jon), it instead follows someone else who is trying to save him. A refreshing change from the multitude of reincarnation/transmigration/time travel stories on Webnovel. Additionally, the story seems to be avoiding most the extremely obvious cliches, such as a family drama over the line of succession (that we see in almost EVERY female lead novel and quite a few of the male lead novels here). In fact, this line is stated by two servants talking about the line of succession since Leon will inherit everything: "Those family conflicts you read about in the drama novels won't happen here." Character Design: 5/5: Characters are unique and have their own personalities. Also, people can CHANGE THEIR MINDS. Wow. Mindblowing! The wizard, who originally planned to burn down Padt Manor in search of the Morning Dew, changes his mind and later offers them a favor when they give it to him out of their own goodwill. World Background: 2/5: As soon as the wizard comes, we discover there's a whole other larger world out there. ...this is honestly so overused. Main character coming from a tiny backwater? Discovers powers? It's extremely cliche, and I expected better. Overall: A nice change of pace from most of the cultivation novels here. I will note that it does seem to have some cultivation aspects, with breakthroughs and ranks for the wizards. I will continue reading this! Please like this if you want to see more actual review and not just "Guuuuuuuddd" or "Ugh terrible" in the review sections! Also note that this is an early review supposed to give people an IDEA of what the story is like, and that there are only 14 chapters out!
