I have somewhat mixed feelings about this novel. This novel had a great idea, and for the most part the plot was pretty good. However a few things didn't make much sense. So first off, the main character. He has lived in the void for trillions of years. It was stated his lost his sanity and regained his sanity multiple times. Putting aside the fact that humans trapped in a void for trillions of years would likely never regain their sanity, when he gets out of the void is where the problems start. When the main character eventually is reincarnated as a human, despite what was mentioned previously he still has quite a bit of emotions. He is not really a "cold calculating" as initially described, he is empathetic but kills to get to his goals. The problem with this, he has literally lived in the void for a indeterminate amount of eons, and has zero emotional defects? I'm at chapter 72, and he quite frankly has perfect sanity, with no emotional defects. Which, again, makes no sense. As for the side characters? We have antagonist #1 - 10, and useless girl who stays by the main character's side #1 and #2. He keeps a annoying energy parasite next to him for no good reason, despite it endangering him quite a bit. Also, as much as I love unforgiving worlds where the main character barely survives, this just isn't it. Literally everyone the main character meets trys to kill him at some point, it's kinda exhausting to read. I swear theres large swaths of people who will try and kill him just for the giggles. The plot in general kinda sucks. The main character wants to learn how to use mana more efficiently, so instead of taking the short way to go to the mages association to learn, he takes the long way. (He could've revealed he has a mana core to be taken there straight away, but instead he didn't and now has to walk 5000 miles across various places with next to 0% survival rate.) Why did he do this? Because it might give too much attention to him. Which I personally find laughable, considering how much attention he has gotten so far, I doubt revealing a mana core will change anything. Furthermore, the writing quality is sub-par, even for this site. Theres a lot of run-on sentences and a ridiculous amount of grammatical errors. Grammarly could've fixed the majority of mistakes. The conversations the main character has are kind of awkward, I can't really anyone actually saying this without being extremely cringy. Overall, a good idea, and it had a good plot outline, but failed the execution miserably. Writing quality, story development, and character design fall short. World background is only average.

Hello dear reader, Author here. Consider this a trigger warning. If you don't like gore and scary stories, don't read this. If you are going to leave comments disparaging me or my readers, don't read this. Other than that this book is a pet project of mine for a couple of years and I am just now editing and releasing it, along with its side story 'Milk Diary'. I hope you enjoy.

I was really I trusted by the book and it was good all up until he brought the girl along. At this point the charcte has been “ asleep” for thousands of years if not hundreds of thousands of years. So at that point with all th suffering he has gone through basically torture I would think he would be an emotionless person literally after all he has gone through. But for certain people I would say it is a good book ,got to chapter 24. But sorry author the girl ruined it for me.

To be honest this is quite a weird book with an equally as weird MC. I am currently on chapter 322 and even though I find the book weird and sometimes confusing it is quite intriguing and a good read, the chapter are long so if You choose to spend your precious coind i would say what you get is more than worth the price. The Mc is twisted, cold and calculating I don’t know the right words to describe him if I had to I would describe him as a high functioning sociopath with psychopathic tendencies. The story telling and world building is exemplary almost outstanding. Spelling and grammar is top notch only a few mistakes or errors here and there, an example of this is how the author consistently spells “emperor” as “emporer”. All in all I’d say the book places somewhere between a 4.5/5 and a 5/5. Also author pls give more chapters[img=update]

Thus is one if the best and most original novels on here! This isn't just some power fantasy that most novels on here quickly become and as of yet has no romance other than mentions of his past life and is likely to stay that way. Beware those who are opposed to witnessing humans at their worst and willing to do anything to survive for the Main characters second incarnation as a human shows him and most others of our race at such a point. However while the MC may seem cruel it is only him doing absolutely everything in the name of survival and finding a way to survive... Or die for the last, final, time!

Sounds good, I am gonna give it a read. Looking at the comments I presume it is a dark fiction, and I love dark, gory books. As for romance, it is a no go. I hate romance, harem from the deepest bits of my soul.

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.
