Author does a really good job for storytelling. Some minor grammer issues but overall an amazing character and story development. The connection the author has with their audience is a nice piece of the story as well.

The book is pretty good, the grammar and general use of English could be improved but overall, the book is a nice read. Firstly the MC is intelligent, he uses his advantages properly and knows when to avoid unfavorable situations. The MC isn’t a pervert which is very refreshing, the female characters are also not unreasonably in love with him nor do they drop their pants in heat as many perverted authors like to write. The flow of the story itself is well grounded and based on logic, apart from the necessary plot points where MC is given certain powers for free for the sake of the plot. The MC himself is an individual who follows the eye for an eye rule, he also does so logically and not the “you disrespected me so i will murder eighteen generations of your family” way. This is a nice break from the usual cliche in most novels of this genre. The EQ of the MC is not low although the MC ignores incidents where female characters show interest in him. I am not certain if this novel will have a love interest but I am enjoying it nonetheless. The character emotions of the MC are also fairly fleshed out, showing a dynamic range of reactions and emotions. The MC does not forget his past life and ‘become’ the new person, instead he remains as himself but hides his past life from others which is nice because I dislike when an MC forgets their old life to embrace the new, in reality no one could just ignore their old lives like that and most people would be apprehensive about abandoning their persona like that. If they can abandon it so easily then they are a shallow person. The side-characters are also not NPCs, they show emotions and contemplation as well as self reflection and self improvement. When faced with a challenging situation some of them change and decide to become better, others cower in fear and properly give up on making trouble. This is a wonderful development process because it is far more true to life, unlike how in other novels the side-characters hold onto grudges even till death, even grudges borne from small matters. The world development is fairly good, no real information has been provided about where exactly the MC is in the world, it mostly information about the close proximity of the MC. I.e the author has indeed described the community the MC lives in but hasn’t talked about countries or continents or anything like that. This is actually not a bad situation and you don’t particularly notice it. Overall, the book is well worth your time. A majority of individuals who read it will enjoy the it.

I really loved the beginning, the mc was cold, had a special background and wasn't stupid but then everything began to become sh*t when the shameless bunch appeared, they are extremely annoying: -first they just tried to kill him and steal his game. ->then mc just forgave them for no valid reason. -then they followed him and invited themselves at his home. ->mc again forgave them for no valid reason -then they were bold enough to look into his private stuff (while knowing his personnality). ->mc again forgave them for no valid reason -he tries to work but gets interrupted again ->but still forgave them for no valid reason Also the most annoying girl magically falls in love with the mc while having known him for less than a week. In the beginning you feel like mc's coldness and ruthless personnality is legitimate but then he just lets the shameless bunch do what they want and constantly gets pushed around by their behaviour and requests, while having massacred the kids who tried to kill him he tolerates worse people for longer for no reson, he is totally illogical, the plot feels too forced because of all of the inconsistencies in this story and it becomes total sh*t after that because of the annoying bunch. It just becomes too frustrating to read this when you see the mc getting pushed around by shameless people and not do anything to them while still agreeing to their shameless requests. Many will drop this like me because of this part of the story. It began real good but became total sh*t because of only 5 chapters.

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between annoyance and disappointment. "You can’t outsmart Scrients! They’re the most intelligent beings across the two realms!" "You’re right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I’m not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait! You can’t. I killed them all." --- My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become my reality? “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could. But I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR
