Review Detail of Chef_C in Supreme Magus
Review detail
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.

"The Author does a fantastic job of combining a fairly complex magic system with a pretty simple concept of power levels. " Yeah, and this is not a good thing. Power levels in this story are a mess. To the point that there is barely any power progression after the Academy arc. No matter what happens MC is still physically weaker than any of his opponents (because they are monsters), but stronger than most humans. After a while, all the fights become boring as they follow the same pattern and really, really long. Moreover, all his opponents are roughly at the same level. Considering how every little problem requires him to use his full power, it is really surprising that this Kingdom with less than ten Awakened in its ranks survived for so long, lol.
Yudi_Lai_2652:but is this book better than the Lord of the Mysteries though?
