It had been hundreds of years since humanity and their Witch allies had been forced to retreat to the fortress cities after the disastrous war to eliminate the Magi Clans. Nuclear weapons had burned the skies, and Grand Magic pulled entire continents beneath the seas before the end, but the victory was secured, no Magi was left alive in their slowly recovering world. Or so they thought. Wolfe Noxus was born on the lower levels of a fortress city run by the Morgana Coven, raised under the glow of magical lights, with magic and technology entwined in every aspect of his life. But after his eighteenth birthday, when a get rich quick scheme led him to the forbidden ability to use the powers of the Magi, his whole life would change. The forbidden inheritance of the Magi was his. All he had to do was live long enough to embrace it.

Another awesome book from Aoki_Aku! He continues to deliver top quality novels.

the power system and it's explanation is hard to grasp(for me atleast). something about this world...it's just feels ...dunno how to say it...something is not good about it. main plot is very good tho

Review as of 132:Overall, this novel is kind of a mixed bag for me. I quite enjoy fantasy stories with things like magic to break up the monotony of cultivation stories. The issue though is that despite being the inheritor of the Magi, hes largely been learning from the perspective of a Witch and as a demon since hes been a "familar". I'm also kind of lost since while the story has decent grammar and chapter length, many things haven't been clearly explained. Like he went from being a forced staff member to a familar of two witches but he is actually the one in control. I feel like that process was incredibly fast while not clearly explained. Another contention is that Wolfe feels as though he doesn't have a mind of his own. Like we know he wants to get more powerful and so he remains cooperative with the witches but he kinda feels like a op slave. Comparing it to something like Witch Hunter which has somewhat similar world settings if you compare the hatred of men vs witches and magi vs witches/world. I've never felt lost while reading witch hunter and always felt that i could clearly understand the choices and goals of the mc, feel like Wolfe has never clearly shown his goals. These issues might be addressed later on when Wolfe learns more about the world and finds more magi related information but this is my review so far.

Starts out ok but quickly goes downhill. The original starting point is clear and conflict is well defined. However that is quickly abandoned for empty reasons. Some other reviewers say that the mc isn’t op must be of the opinion that only god is op. He has to go to a four year school yet got to the top of everything surpassing the fourth year students in half a year, I think. The author has a problem keeping track or at least mentioning how long it is between scenes. There were several times where it sounded like it was days or weeks only to mention that the mid year tests were right around the corner. Then he gets involved with the military of an allied nation and becomes the cornerstone of a 250+ unit in a couple of weeks, again I think because of the author’s inconsistent timeline, boosting the power of a fringe unit to an elite one within that time. All of the “relationships”, which seem to be a main point of the story, ring hollow as there is a clear declaration from more than a few that it’s all because of his ability to boost others but it’s kind of needed since the mc is very hollow himself. All in all this seems to be trying to be a few things but just ends up being not that good at any of them.

Aoki is putting another masterpiece to paper here. He has a way of making characters fun to read about and get to know that is hard to find in other novels, even ones that have thousands of chapters, he gives them depth that let's you know not just what they contribute to the story, but WHO they are behind it. The background to this story is well thought out and well introduced, on top of being a premise I have not seen from any other author yet. What's updates 2 chapters a day, I don't think I've seen any of Aoki's books drop behind on updates since I started reading his material. Overall I have and will continue to recommend this book and all of Aoki's others to anyone who reads.
