Review Detail of OldSam in Supreme Magus
Review detail
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.

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

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.
anonymous245:reverend insanity doesn't have any romance with the MC
