Yet another post-apocalyptic novel with a system (which apparently is a djinn in a lamp) - I am very positive about the novel, the MC is developing nicely, I like the Russian angle, the plot contains interesting twists for future development & the harem is kept at a minimum (regarding plot) - one important drawback though is the low release rate, I'd rather stop reading now and binge later.

Honest reviews are here.. [Extreme Spoiler Alert] This is a novel about MC wasting his time in his bunker for 2 years while others grow stronger and MC try to catch up with them.. Yes, this novel doesn't have an OP MC.. There is a tag "Strong MC acting weak," which is not true until Ch.100+ where he plays secret identity superhero.. But right now, I don't see MC as a strong character.. Plus, you will see the author's review, which he asked people to read at least until Ch.10 because before that, it was just a story about MC wasting his 2 years' time in bunker.. I almost stopped before, too.. It is quite a boring and useless introduction.. Because his strength fell behind other people for 2 years.. Even a normal foot soldier are stronger than MC when they 1st time meet each other.. He has a companion with him during his time in the bunker, and some of them are following MC, but as you expected, they are also weak.. MC is lucky to find a genie lamp in the bunker a second before he died.. Causing him to receive djinn which is acting exactly like a "system" we know of.. MC grow pace is quite slow too.. Well, some might think it is quite steady, but please remember that MC is still too weak to the point that he strength is lower than foot soldier due to the author wasting MC 2 years time doing nothing.. [Once again, Extreme Spoiler Alert] When MC 1st breakthrough to higher realm, he can chose which element he want to : Fire, Ice, Water, Plant, Earth, Metal, Lightning, Wind, Light (rare) and Darkness (rare).. And the elements he chose are quite disappointing.. Instead of choosing an explosive element or a wide range element, he chose the "passive or defensive" element.. Then, the author comparing MC with Magneto in X-Men, which at first, it kinda cool until you see that MC in action is only 0.000001% of Magneto strength.. MC also got 10 free stat points every time he broke through a minor realm and a major realm (later, 50 free stat point).. And he mostly spends his free point on his agility so he can run.. He kinda like a coward.. He always think to running away from the danger first instead of removing the "danger" itself or thinking the ways to beat the "danger," which I mean is either monster, alien, or human.. MC got one skill like a berserker where he strength will temporarily buff for a few minutes and enter a weak state after the buff ended.. In his weaken state, he is weaker than most weak people.. Of course, he learned a few more skills later. on.. Due to MC weak strength, MC is struggling to fight against many people and mid rank monsters.. There are a few times he meets the monster out of his league, like when he meets gargoyle and hellhound, and fortunately, he meets other humans who are in a stronger realm.. He also can't fight multiple opponents (monster and human) in the same realm as him.. Later, there is the Arkhangelsk arc, which kinda boring until he finds out his hidden bunker.. After Ch.100, MC can finally be considered as strong.. He is strong but not in the top hierarchy.. If there are 3 stages, like low-rank, mid-rank, and high-rank strength, MC is just entering mid-rank at Ch.100.. So, if you are an OP fan, seeing MC struggling in every fight is sure to make you feel frustrated.. Now you can understand why the author is not putting the "Overpowered" tag.. There are "Comedy" tags, which I also don't see any of them.. Maybe that tag also means for future chapters, which is the same as the "Strong Acting Weak" tag.. But I don't say it is not a good novel.. People who love weak-to-strong types of novels will sure love this novel.. Only people who love OP MC will hate this type of novel.. That is why I give this novel 3 stars, which means it is not that bad, but I don't mean it good either.. It kinda average, in my opinion.. Well, I am an OP hardcore fan, so my opinion kinda biased.. Plus, it has been more than a year since this novel updated..

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 mix of 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 heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! 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, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed 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 at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now 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, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR
