At the risk of being hammered by invayne fans, I wanted to write this review. Like pretty much all of invayne's novels, this one suffers from poor pacing, poorly thought out power escalations, and characters getting constantly introduced and then barely paid attention too. Spoilers to follow. Adel and Sophie go from interesting characters to 2D paper cutout waifus, just like most harem novels. A demon is introduced, and then another, only for them to suddenly be thrust out as possible love interests. The "stakes" go from bandits to corrupt nobles, to world ending machinery in some very short chapters. and I mean very short. There's a lot of chapters, but not a lot of content because most of it is repeated and ranted about, especially by the MC Faith. This brings about another problem. Faith and her life goes from silly to deadly serious and back again at breakneck speed. I was constantly experiencing "narrative whiplash" as we go from "rescue someone you love" to "haha, silly cuddles" all at the same time. I will give them credit where it's due, the writing style and quality is pretty good with only a few errors here and there, and the updates are consistent and constant. I think the updates are probably due to the fact that Webnovel pushes writers to keep doing so to keep their novel relevant, highly rated, and therefore profitable. I won't fault any writer for that, especially not one who is a decent writer and has a passion for their novel, which I think invayne does have. In summary: Keep doing your best invayne, don't let my opinion change you, it's just your novels are not for me. And all of that is after I spent so much time reading, lol.

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.
