I decided to read this novel, because I actually read the "original". You could say I wanted to read a fanfiction of 'Warlock of the Magus World'. Instead I got a completely independent book that is very loosely based on the world of the prior mentioned story. This story has an old monster who actually uses his brain, but still experiences new things with an open mind, which makes for a very likeable mc. Sidecharacters are not cardboard cutouts, but get actual characterdevelopment, which allows realistic interactions and bonds. Mc is scheming and ruthless to his enemies, but amicable and open to friends, family and subordinates, which is, at least in my eyes, ideal. Worldbuilding is well done, the very bare bones are from WotMW, but everything else is original and very well thought out. At the end, if I am asked if I can recommend this story, I'd have to say: Wholeheartedly Please read this outstanding piece of fiction and decide for yourself. Have a nice day reading, folks
