The author is fairly experienced person,a good story line.although the story is slow paced but i think it is neccesary for a good backgroundand story building for the story. The problems that i think this novel have for me ( these problems are probably only for me) : Too diffcult grammar,well in a way it is good since i am learning new grammar but it is really time consuming to go to google and then come to read the remaining novel. Overall i really love this novel.

I already wrote a critique on this, in a chapter comment, but now that I am a bit further in the story I will write this one. The first 30 chapters are weird. The writing quality is good. the world seems interresting, but the pace and MC are off. Its too clean, too many times you think "huh, but..." and the author is probably right in saying he has thought it over very thoroughly, but just thibking it amacka you out of the story. The pace is too slow and the progress not very interresting. This combined with the constant urge to tell the author that it he could have done something different (experienced by not only me) makes it hard to go through. Huh, but why the 5 stars then? Well the beginning makes it all the more obvious that the story after ch 30 really picks up, it finds its pace, its soul. The MC and side characters become more interresting, you just want to continue reading. Its fun. There is suspense. a bit of veil is uncovered. I stopped reading 4 different times reading the first 30 ch. And read the next 30 ch in 3 hours straight (I am a slow reader). Guild wars is my favorite novel on WN, and I was sad with the sudden hiatus, but now I am a bit less sad as this definitly is growing to the same heights. Excited to read the rest, and that means it deserves 5 stars.

Another beautiful work of art by the lord god himself, Kotario-sama! The development of the world around the main character is amazing. Every single thing that is mentioned has value to the story, as well as keeps the reader entertained. Most stories end up losing the interest of the readers when they have to explain a large quantity of things, but this story does it in a way that keeps the reader interested while not explaining literally every single thing. Instead, all that is needed to be known is able to be easily inferred by reading between the lines. The interactions between characters is also phenomenal. Every action or thought is in line with the person’s character/personality. The main character is not one of those stupid goodie-two-shoes heroes who are overly nice and naive to the point of insanity. The main character also isn’t a stupid edgelord only focused on being Mr. Meanie. The main character is simply the best of both worlds, and is logical and realistic, yet not utterly perfect (since that would be boring). The chapters themselves do two things at once: prepare for the following chapters, and continue upon the previous chapters. Everything in this story flows very well and contradictions are yet to be seen. 11/10 I have nothing but praise for this glorious masterpiece.

Warning for my fellow readers of dark/evil stories. The tag 'villainous MC' is misleading. The MC's moral hypocrisy is on par with the typical Chinese protagonist. Author comparing the protagonist of this novel, Darius, with Leylin from Warlock of the Magus World? The most inaccurate comparison I've ever seen. Leylon is pragmatic above all else. Darius however? He is anything but pragmatic. Author promises a villanous MC and fails to deliver. I would say at most this protagonist is an 'anti-hero'. Deceptive marketing is never nice.

I DON'T LIKE IT. It has good introduction it hook me up but later on it quit its boring and the author is a hot blooded DONUT! If someone point something in comment he got angry like Sh*t, dude really? is that how author should do? In the World of Faust There is no element -_- how does magic created 😂 What kind of mindset is that There's a guy in a comment section that says the MC's skill is too OP the 'Transmutation' he can literally make poison and even more and kill thousand of ppl and get exp. Do you know what the author said? "You can't make an item that doesn't exist in Faust " he even got angry.. so Magic world no poison 😂 no element its so hilarious 😂😂 I recommend not read it :) Before my Review got deleted Then better read it as fast as you can hahaha The HOT BLOODED AUTHOR

in light of the fact the author has informed many of his fans that this novel should be on a higher level than his first (which I thoroughly enjoy and hope he still works on) I shall follow Voids example and post a 5* review. if this should fail to meet expectations (I doubt it will) change I shall change the review to one more suited.

This is a great work written by a fairly experienced author. The grammar is great, hardly any mistakes at all. Definitely top quality. Despite the few chapters as of now, you can get some insight into characters and their personalities. The protagonist is pragmatic, benefit-oriented, probably evil which is great. There are too few chapters to rate Update Stability, Story Development and World building but from the quality of writing and the author, I'm rather optimistic. All in all, I highly recommend it.

So, it's the proverbial Author's review. Now, let me use this limited and much-visited space to clarify some things for those who are yet to read and those who have begun reading but are likely confused about some things. 1. In this novel, you are mostly spoonfed things, but a wealth of things are also left for you to read in between the lines. This novel was written with the intention of appealing to a thoughtful crowd, so erm... please make sure you fit that category. 2. Darius Stone, the MC, is not an edgelord as many expected from the synopsis. The comparison to Leylin Farlier from Warlock of the Magus world was not referring to their personalities or logical choices, but their moral choices. Unfortunately, some fellows came in hoping to see Leylin V2.0, not Darius Stone. 3. Darius is - as they say - isekai'd. Yes, but please - and absolutely keep this in mind as it is the whole point of the plot - he is not done so freely. He is brought to the world of Faust with a goal in mind, and majority of the actions he takes - whether you like it or not, or whether you feel its smart or not - are geared towards fulfilling that goal, which is to amuse the one who reincarnated him. 4, Please, for the love of God, hide your arrogance and ego. yes, the suggestions you made as to loopholes with the ability he acquires are grand, but you aren't the only one who can do 1+1. I, and the create/characters in the novel, can certainly think that far, and if it's not implemented, it means it likely would not work. This is in regard to the system mechanism as well as the ability. 5. If the above-mentioned things have bothered you, please use this as an official clarification for your doubts. If they haven't, please keep an eye out for them and when you encounter them, remember my words. It would make much more sense when you do. Thanks for reading so far. If you have read a bit and want to leave some praises, you can also make a review or let me know in the replies here or in comments (chapter and paragraph) in the novel. If you have criticisms, you can also leave those, and I will investigate and either give you an explanation, gratitude, or apology depending on the validity. If you are part of the typical crowd who like to insult first and think later, you are also free to leave whatever comments you have wherever. Just beware that, heh, I also insult back, and quite scathingly at that.

A great novel, with far better grammar than one should reasonably expect from this website. It is clear to see that the author is experienced has planned out this journey instead of writing whatever comes to mind. One thing I must point out that I found incredibly refreshing is that this author actually comprehends the value and benefits provided by life experience. The protagonist's thought processes and actions conform to his stated background as a highly intelligent, wily old man. I see it so often that these so-called "old monsters" when reincarnated, completely forget every single bit of logic, experience, and force of will that they must have gained through their struggles and immediately start acting the age of their body and make the most brainless and infuriating decisions that anyone with even a tenth of their experience could avoid effortlessly. To summarize, if you are looking for a reincarnation novel with a thoughtful, calculating, and actually intelligent character, this one is for you.
