Review Detail of Poet_Legion in When A Mage Revolts

I can't even get past the first ten chapters because the story goes nowhere. It's not even background context for the characters. It wouldn't be that bad if the author didn't insist on writing an entire.Chapter about some stupid psych out war between the main character and his captor. I don't need 10 chapters that are very long. Chapters as well about back-and-forth between 2 characters with nothing involving the plot. Moving forward at all like literally. We are nowhere different than when the story first started. Besides, the fact that the main character can now use magic, which is shown to be absolutely useless in his current situation. And then when he does, he is magic in a way too kind of. Attempt to escape from the situation. You already know it's gonna go bad because the cleaners who are there to get rid of people who can use magic for some reason, the main character doesn't think that maybe they can sense people who can use magic or maybe they have a device to let them know who uses magic none of those logical. Thoughts go through our main character's head. Who the author is trying very hard to make us think is a smart person or at least good at deduction? And it completely takes away from the novel at the beginning. Like I don't know if the author wants to go for a serious novel. Since 10 chapters have been spent on what could easily be written in 2 or 3 paragraphs and still lose nothing of substance or if he wants to make a comedy because the system has no seriousness to it. And honestly pulls you out of the novel. I like the fact that the author tried to do something new with the trope. But. Making it so that the system was a literal pop-up ad essentially that would not help the main character and just pop-up s***** comments or literal.ADS from his old world is a very comical thing.And it doesn't add any committee relief to the situation.Because once again we're only ten chapters in and the story is going nowhere. I've looked at other reviews and from what a lot of people say. The story only really starts at around 50 chapters. But the problem with that on this novel is, it seems like it's one of those where you don't want to skip any chapters because of how long they are? So if I skip to chapter 50, I'm probably gonna be confused for around a 100 chapters but I can not stop my greeting. Another chapter of the main character trying to outwit their current captor it. The author doesn't know how to write that. Instead of it being a bunch of mind games it's a bunch of oh I let a bunch of loops in my story that I told this lady that she is totally gon to catch on to and not already be suspicious of me like the whole vibe at the beginning of the story just really throws me off and I can't get into it. I just have to reiterate again. There's a difference between writing a psycho competition and writing a useless baggage 10. Chapter peace that gets our character. Nowhere like literally he's no better off. He's no worse off. It didn't succeed it didn't fail because, at the end of the day. We already know that his captor didn't trust him from the start. There was 0 trust there. She was already suspicious of him. And from the little bit of background context we get on her. We already know that she's been suspicious of everybody and is willing to. Sacrifice her closest confidence for little to no reason so her having that kind of character makes it very hard to believe that she would be psyched out by the ramblings of a tied up noble that are desperately trying to save their height.It literally makes zero sense
