This novel has a well developed background, you can see author has put some thought into it to make it unique and I give them props for that. The writing quality is good plus updates are stable. The problems however crop up with the plot and mc's character. Ignoring the fact that the mc is only a villain in name and closer to an edgy teen with a deep seated inferiority complex, he isnt active enough. The trope of a character being inserted into a story having a grudge with the hero isnt anything new, but they are driven by the heroes rapid improvement to take drastice measure and risks to keep up. We dont have any of that here because the hero/protag is a useless harem seeker, literally. The mc is content with reading all day and doing some minor training than purposefully seeking to improve himself. I know hes really young and cant do much, but that then begs the question, why are we wasting our time focusing on the events during this time period? Its nothing better than filler. This is where the plot falls flat, its boring, whole chapters are wasted on character's talking to each other or on events that dont really affect the story in the long run. Not to mention the absurdity of a food fight starting amongst nobles during a formal birthday party. I thought I was reading a children's story at that point.

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 Cover: Female lead - Kleopatra #### 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.
