So far it has been incredibly moronic. MC is useless, all he does is summon someone to do his job. MC has no personality. Plot makes zero sense, Athena attacks other cities without training any of their soldiers, or any competent stratergy other than a surprise attack, in a world where there are constant wars...nobody else ever tried a surprise attack before??? Novel goes out of its way to say that people there are real, and then souls take over the people in the army. Apparently there are nine kingdoms that have taken years to be built, and MC basically take a few days to become the tenth because his summons are so strong and the opponents are so moronic, when kingdoms are only a few cities. Apparently a formation is something his opponents have never heard of, and then his summons carry him to victory. But the explanation is phalanx strong and cavalry strong... everyone else should also know this is they are competent and it has been around so long.

Well its not very clever to reply to my review if you dont even understand what Im talking about because you havent read it. My review was not saying that OP gods are bad, I was merely saying that: Athena did nothing of use, other than doing a surprise attack which shouldnt have worked, and anyone could suggest, and the other gods summoned are basically just strong attackers with zero thought. OP summons with a dumb, useless MC who does nothing makes the MC pointless, because he makes zero decisions and has zero uses other than summoning them, which is just his system. The MC has zero impact, he is basically just a spectator on a nice seat.

But didn't it said that athena trained them for a month? am I the one missing something?

It doesnt state that she trained them, only that they should be ready for an attack later. What could she do in a month anyway, considering they didnt learn a formation and they were training before anyway, so so her differnce would be neglible. She cant magically make them good soldiers. Not only that, but nothing is stated that shows or implies she trained them in any way.

You've missed the fact about the mc being delusional to question the Empire era itself (which is known to be cold and merciless) for it's actions with zero chances of winning against it....or you've already dropped this before that? If so, I commend you for having superb foresight. I've suffered longer.

Up to chapter 190 and I'm officially done with this novel. The short of it is that the translation is so trash it makes reading torture, the characters are uninteresting and no real personalities besides their one or two personality points, the world background is nonexistent, and the story feels like it's on rails and pretty basic. If you want to read my extended review continue below, otherwise, yeah not that good of a story and sucks to read. Translation: Let us start with the biggest offense of this novel. The translation is horrendous. Constant grammatical and sentence errors, names constantly change, sentences get cut short or make no sense, and overall felt like MTL or done by someone with a weak grasp of the English language. This point is my biggest complaint because I can deal with a poorly written book so long as is readable, but this one is both poorly written AND unreadable. Characters: So the premise of this book is summoning gods and armies to help the MC conquer a world connected to Earth. Sounds super cool with a bunch of possibilities for character interactions between the gods and mortals right? Sadly this is never presented. Characters have one or two personality traits: loyal to the MC, love the MC, one trait from their god persona (like the god Ares and Hercules likes battles or Hermes likes to run free and do mischief). Besides that, everyone is a cardboard cutout with no real depth to their character. We never even see any interactions between the gods unless the MC is present. This story would have been so much better if we could see how the gods feel about each other, how would Zeus feel about interacting with another King of Gods like Jupiter or Odin, and would they share stories or rivalries? Last on this topic, the MC is super bland. He is replaceable with anyone for he has no personality or real goals besides conquering the world. All of the work in ruling his kingdom is mainly done by his summons and he rarely does anything besides fight. Never we see him do diplomacy or bargaining with others, or make any strategy that involves anything more than just "we rush them," "we surprise attack them," or "surrender or die." Even his name is bland and uninteresting, the OP, super-duper powerful Sky Emperor... "Jerry." World-Building: There is none. That's it. There's nothing that makes this world interesting to read besides the premise that people can travel between earth and this cultivation world after they are 18 years old. There are no descriptions of this new world besides it being similar to an ancient earth and kingdoms are constantly at war with each other. No description of how people live, the interactions of kingdoms, notable geographic locations, or even interesting locals. But that is understandable considering how this story blazes through all of the worlds to constantly introduce new land/world to once again ignore. We never see how the day-to-day of the citizens, or how the gods and summons manage this land on behalf of the MC. Because of how fast the story flows, we never get attached to characters when they get introduced. The closest we got was this side character the MC helps release from being a slave to a different kingdom but he quickly disappears and stops being important. The author loves throwing bigger, stronger, and larger things into the world but never expands on this. At this point in the story, the MC rules land the equivalent of 100s of Earths and that's not the biggest in the world yet. Another point that I notice, is how everything comes so easy for the MC. Facing an enemy? summons a god. Weak against an enemy stronger than the MC? roll the system roulette and "luckily" pull the god/army/weapon needed to win. And that's the most annoying thing, even the system is redundant because it always brings exactly what the MC needs to overcome a "challenge." The system should be changed to "Authors A$$-Pull device" because it feels so forced when the author writes how the MC just happens to always get the best/needed thing to win. So again, a novel with many flaws. They could be simply ignored and read it as a simple power fantasy with not much thought to take into it because we all like our simple power fantasies from time to time. However, the translation quality makes this story unbearable to read and when you have to not only read an unreadable story but also a story that's written badly, then nothing can save that story from a bad review.

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.
