One of the best original novels on this site... even though there are thing that I like and diskile in this novel, overall, is a good read to me. (SPOILER ALERT) What I like: - very good pacing - very good grammar - smart and calculative mc - ruthless mc - hardworking mc - solus (really usefull companion/ai/equipment) - nana (his 'magic mentor' i really enjoy the interations with the old perky magician lol) - character grow (we can see how the characters grow along with the progress of the novel, even though its more mc focused, but i dont have any problems with that) What I dislike: - the nobles/young masters trope - his older brother, that seems going to be an annoying factor through the novel, or at least will come back and bite him in the a*s... - the 'hidding true strength and look like a scrub' trope... ( well i can understand the hiddind strength part since its logical when you are at the bottom, but so far we have a somewhat ugly mc, i mean every one in his family is somewhat decent and only him and his father seem to be the ugly ones...)(note: he seems to get better looking with each increase of his magic core, but it seems that at best he will be average, which i will be ok with, as long as he doesn't remain ugly lol) Even though the beginning of the novel may seem slow, or somewhat confusing, it works as an introduction to the mc personality, and help us understand him better, so I suggest that u should read at least 10 chaps before diciding if u like it or not, thats what I always do.

Forgot to add the creative magic system, and the way the author made it so mc still holds an advantage over everyone else without making him too op.

Thanks for your comprehensive review. About what you do not like (and you have all rights to do it, not compaining, just explaining), here is my 2 cents: nobles trope: well, ime that's ****** how the world spin. In the whole world, both eastern and western, especially in the past, people were treated almost as cattle by the upper echelons. Is not much of a trope as an historical truth. The weaker you are, the worse you get treated, even now (high school memories triggers XD) Orpal: could not kill him. would make him a martyr. Ugly: he is not ugly, just is not your typical smart, genius, chosen one, handsome, sexy etc etc MC. He is a regular guy (physical appearance around 6 or 7/10 we are all hypercritical about ourselves, after all) that works hard. :D

have you tried sim.ple? lol btw, is there any romance? none is better than harem

FadingDawnLv5

I find it impossible for a novel to not have romance at some point, even PDG where mc trades all his emotions for power ends up having some sort of romantic interest after 800+ chapters. Just don't know if it's feasible for any ln to not have romance in it, especially ones that focus around magic contrary to cultivation. But yea anything better than harem which most of the time ruins the story.

Yea it's one of the only that I completely enjoyed, I left it for a while now so I can just stack up 200 chapters. Though there's no romance there are some 'interests' though he only uses them for his gain. I haven't read the raws so I have no idea if he will end with someone in the end or not. One of my fav novels.

I can confirm that also in the raws it doesn't have any romance (2200+).

Great fantasy story full of mages and magic using beings. The Author does a fantastic job of combining a fairly complex magic system with a pretty simple concept of power levels. The Author uses this to write battles with realistic (in terms of the world) twists and out comes. When the MC and an antagonist come to blows and their of “equal strength” the MC does win just because of some “MC plot-armor bullsh*t” it’s because the Author laid down the groundwork for why he learned and obtained the skills and abilities to pull through. Even when someone does manage to seemingly pull some solution out of their a*s it’s because the Author left the information and reasonings behind in primitive chapters that were (mostly on purpose) meant to be overlooked as unimportant. Characters and character development is always one of the most important things to look at for in any story. In this both aspects are pretty straightforward. The MC has a lot of dark sh*t happen to him in the prologue & start of the series and that leaves us with a very untrusting and paranoid protagonist who is also severely protective of those who are are close to him. The main theme of the story is that the MC is going about his life while gaining strength in various ways in order be able to protect those he cares about and fulfill a few spoiler related goals while his interactions with those around both help and hinder him from slowly opening up to others. The Author does a good job of providing scenarios that that the MC has to contemplate while balancing his law of the jungle and his moral/human side in order to survive both physically and mentally. This series is not a “black & white” story by any means and would recommend it to any high fantasy loving reader.

GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

It is said that you shouldn't meet your heroes. Gehaldirah, a high elf of royal bloodline didn't have to meet the realm lord of High Heaven before he became disillusioned. His admiration for the paragon of the high elf race turned into hatred when he got some damning knowledge about why demons kept attacking his home and looting the sacred tree of life. His hatred for the realm lord turned to self-hatred for his weakness and mediocrity. Gehaldirah had a moment of introspection. He isn't at the bottom of the ladder in this strength-based hierarchy. He is a king of law, but that apparently isn't enough to guarantee your fate. His strength is also mediocre because it was granted to him because of his bloodline. He determined he had to change himself. He has to become better. He concocted a plan that is one part genius and one part greed. His plan for reincarnation led him to the trial of heaven that occurs every origin cycle. He needed Origin essence so he participated in the trial. He got more than he wanted from the trial. His plan for reincarnation would be a success after some adjustments. But now he has a different aim. He won't aim for just the realm lord. The realm lord has control of the High Heaven Realm. That isn't enough for Geraldirah anymore. He became greedier. He has his sight set on the movers and shakers of the Void Universe. Only the power to subvert the will of World Gods will do. The plan to create LEGION, the ultimate organism was then hatched. If one person cannot achieve something, what about a multitude of them? His journey will not be easy. He will have to overcome Celestials and their Celestial Supreme, Gods and their GodKings, Demon kings and their Demon gods. The Void Universe is full of obstacles that will like nothing more than to put an end to his path. It is not that they hate him. They will oppose him simply because the era of conquest is coming. There are no friends in the era of conquest. It is everyone for themselves. And he will use everything and everyone for the advancement of Legion. AUTHOR: I cannot promise that you will like it. I can only promise that the book is original and unique. It is something new. The MC is neutral evil. He is willing to sacrifice everyone for his goals. He is smart and the antagonists in the book are cunning.
