Review Detail of RedHertz in When A Mage Revolts

This. Is. It. It's not the typical Chinese reincarnation story. There is no weak willed MC who can't say no to attractive females (who, btw, were not oversexualized here, which is a huge plus) and no love interest, no harem or any indication towards that as of current chapter. The MC is smart, thinks with his brain, mature with his decisions, and is capable of looking at the bigger picture. From the start, he was not OP; his system was super not helpful, it even belittled and made snark remarks at him and the MC was helpless against it in the beginning. The world building is interesting and the conspiracies between and among the nobles, mages and the church were just amazingly constructed that if you're a mage, you'd feel fired up yourself. This novel's conflict is build on the church hating the mage, doing their best to obliterate them (a religion-based genocide basically), and the MC who is a mage that is spearheading the movement against that. After being reincarnated, he started as a kidnap victim by a mage, but became a mage to prevent being killed by the kidnapper mage, returned to his family who supported the church (his family has lots of astounding secrets, each and every one of them! Especially that old madame!), and while planned to be executed by the church as a replacement for his brother, he escaped that oppressive country, only to discover that the church has it's influence over other countries as well and that he is not truly safe. With his comrades, he ventured to new places, settled down, but was alerted to the possibility of the church killing his new companions and other mages, and began counteracting the church's influence. What was amazing was the way he took leadership in this movement; how he started it, the different conflicts that emerged, his sharp minded reactions and analysis, and outcomes that developed over the story so far simply gripped you breathless, leaving you wanting more of this delicious piece of fantasy. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the interaction between the MC and the system was quite funny and heart warming~ The author is a mysterious spider, spinning sticky webs that made me stuck and not wanting to leave. The translators are golden eyed humans whom I want to treat to lunch and hire in my company, if I ever have one.
