Read a little bit. The first 2-3 chapters were interesting. Then everything went downhill from there. MC is supposed to be smart but tends to piss everyone off for no fucking reason just of a massive ego and child like attitude. And then the author piled up cliched situations upon cliched situations till I felt that even reading this was a chore. Won't recommend this web novel to anyone. It's really bad. I don't understand how people can stand to read this.

Being smart doesnt mean not having an ego and being level headed, In fact most smart people have the biggest ego and act the most arrogantly because they think their higher IQ somehow makes them more important then others. You can be a brilliant inventor while also having a short fuse it all depends on how you were raised.

People tend to have that assumption towards others they deem smart due to a simple bias. There are far more "dumb" people that are egotistical and arrogant than there are "smart" people: in both gross numbers and percentages. When a "dumb" person is arrogant and haughty, it is usually easily dismissed due to them: not being able to back up their claims, not being in a noticeable position, or not being a good speaker. The reason people tend to think of "smart" people as arrogant is generally because they are capable enough to make it to high levels in whatever fields they chose. People in those levels are often more noticeable and therefore stand out more to the public. So, combine a noticeable position with an eccentric personality and that person will be remembered by people. Of course, there is also the issue of entertainment generally portraying smart people as arrogant and haughty. There is also an issue of many of the smartest people not ever going into the public spotlight. It is usually people that are of slightly above average intelligence that act the most arrogant and tend to conclude that they are right. (Like me seeing this bias and writing this rant 😁) * I put smart and dumb in quotes due them being extremely subjective terms.

Thank you for this interesting bit of information but talking towards the original topic my point still stands. Which is that being intelligent doesn’t always mean your level headed and or never make rash decisions.

It's not that he has no wisdom. The mc definitely knows himself as well as his flaws and ego. It's just that he accepts everything in himself including his arrogance and vanity. He knows his flaws but doesn't bother changing them because he's confident that's just who he is.

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.
