By far the best book on this platform. Remember to read the prologue otherwise you won’t understand who Carl or Chris or Ezio are. A great plus of this story is that there are no gratuitous good guys or bad guys, with one exception. The characters deemed to be protectors, guardians, are often passive in front of evil bacause they deem it necessary. Likewise, « evil » characters are not defined by their crimes and have believable motives and dreams that actually could change the world for the best. The main character also frequently does good for the wrong reasons. There is a love square, but the mc doesn’t allow himself to be tortured by it. He is able to resist the seduction of his love interests, especially when he thinks that love might be immature, that it might exist for the wrong reasons.

Supreme Magus is, hands down, one of the best fantasy novels that I've ever read. Perfectly blending a world with an unfathomable amounts of detail and lore with good character development, intricate storylines with a refreshing take on magic, Supreme Magus manages to amaze me with each and every chapter, reminding me of why I have been reading it for the past 2 years, time that I do not regret investing. The author's — Legion20's — writing style is particularly unique and I personally loved how it has grown and evolved over the past two thousand chapters. The novel has had consistent uploads for as long as I can remember, with a couple of breaks here and there, but too irrelevant for me to downgrade the rating. If you enjoy a morally complex character who permanently grows and changes, never faltering before whatever obstacles are thrown his way, then this novel is for you. From infant, to a soldier. From a soldier, to Supreme Magus.

Shameless 5 star review from the author, lol. Please read my work and share it if you liked it, thanks. :) :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

I can’t recommend this book enough. One of the sticking points for me is how fleshed out the characters are. Yes there are villains that can easily be labelled as evil and deserve to be killed off but there’s also others that have depth, not just into how strong or bad they are, but emotionally as well. You get a feel for who they are and grow attatched, not just leaving them as Villain B or something. The best part is that you still feel they need to be stopped or even killed, but it will make that choice heavier for you. Because their death means the loss of a character you’ve gotten to know and maybe even liked. Excellent Writing.

I am SO IMPRESSED! Definitely one of the best novels out there. Pro 1- very non stereotypical characters who are all 3D, the bad guys arnt just bad, they have families and aspirations etc and the good guys arnt some saints 2- the character development is fantastic! The main character starts off as a cynical, borderline serial killer type and slowly grows overtime and continues to face new growth hurdles just like all the other characters in the book 3- the level of complexity of the world,magical system, enchanted items, society is simply amazing 4- there is a main plot from the main charachter’s point of view but are many smaller plots and you get to experience the story from the POV of several characters, including bad guys. Also, the level of political complexity is interesting 5- The story goes through several sagas and eventually goes into open world exploration with more sagas 6- the female characters in the book are very strong and are not co dependent on their male counterparts. There is a nice balance 7- healthy dose of comical chapters that have me laughing out loud in public 8- good themes that are well represented- romance, bullying, family, empathy, greed, human brutality, hard work to name a few Cons 1- slow burn at first but well worth the wait bc it takes a while to set things up 2- the level of magical complexity and how the main character levels up is a bit beyond me at times but doesnt detract from the main storyline

I've been reading this novel for around 2 years now and finally remembered to drop a review. Before I read this novel, I was not much of a reader, I really disliked reading since at that time I thought of reading as 'boring and wasting time', but around 2 years ago, I randomly stumbled upon this novel and thought it looked interesting so I decided to give it a try, when I read the first chapter, I got so hooked that I continued reading and reading and when I stopped, I realized that I had been reading for more than an hour, I was honestly surprised at this moment as I never thought that reading would be this much fun and that I would spend an hour just for reading. From there, I read this novel whenever I had free time until I caught up with it's latest chapter which was around chapter 100+ at the time if I'm not mistaken. After catching up, I decided to try reading something else while waiting for a new chapter release, and from then on, I became the bookworm I am today, even my friends criticize me sometimes for spending too much time reading novels. All this was thanks to this novel, it got me hooked on reading even though it was my first time even reading a novel, this novel is really good and just gets better later on. It will forever remain as the number one novel on my heart and I just wanna say thank you Legion20 for creating this amazing masterpiece. -One of your most grateful and loyal reader

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.

Great book, great writing and superb character development. The journey we experience along with the MC from the baby arc in the beginning through the academy arc. The book stays consistent with writing and develops the world beautifully. We experience the MC gradually develop into what is considered a healthy and fulfilled person while also searching for meaning to his existence. 5 stars all day long

Supreme Magus is one of the best mage development fantasy story that I encoutered among my readings. The author has created a mana and spell system very complex and detailed, and the characters are varied, well though, and lovable. The world is also very well designed, with complex political situations and ominous but mysterious threats. I am a fan ! The development of Lith as a magus some time make me think of the Harry Potter series, but with a ***** point of view and a less manichean approch.

This story starts quite sad, so I really hope that after reincarnating the mc will find some happiness. I like that the mc isn't an hypocrite self-righteous mc. Cuz when life doesn't give you a fair shake, being tough and just is the right way. Law not always means justice (I really hate when society doesn't condemn a murderer for his "silly mistake"). The story is well written and easy to read, I look forward to reading the new chapters.
