I would love to see even more of this! I truly appreciate the consistent updates, it's such a treat [I mostly binge eat chapters hehe]. A small suggestion though, maybe consider censoring explicit language. Of course this is just my personal preference. Another thing is to add more sensory descriptions like scents, to enhance immersion. [Really hope you take the advice].

Liked it!

A western twist on a typical shounen action story. It's similar in premise and tone to stories like GATE with a splash of the 'kid gets marketable object/game/pet and starts saving the world/dueling other kids with it' genre, and a target audience between those two age groups. There are things the story will expect you to simply accept as part of the story set-up, but it is along the same lines as the conceits seen in your average story about a highschool age or younger child receiving an improbably dangerous and deadly device as if that's perfectly normal. In particular the early chapters are very confusing whose perspective you're following, but if this were adapted into a visual medium like a webtoon/manga/anime that wouldn't be a concern. It's comfortable in knowing exactly where it stands as a fun and violent teen-focused fantasy action story and doesn't try to masquerade as anything else. When faced with a chaotic and violent apocalypse, you can be assured the main characters will charge into the action and do their best every time, rather than run and hide. If a shounen-age demographic urban fantasy action story appeals to you, particularly with the added gacha gimmick explaining how each MC ends up with their unique power set, or if you like 'rage against the dying of the light' style apocalypse scenarios where the characters fight through the monsters themselves rather than running and hiding from the overwhelming and inexplicable forces, then you're likely to enjoy the story. In short, if you like your apocalypse invasion stories along the lines of Battle for LA and Edge of Tomorrow you will enjoy this story. If you prefer your apocalypse invasion stories along the lines of Cloverfield and Skyline, you will not likely find what you're looking for. I personally prefer somewhere in between and fell off the story eventually, but that's a good thing. The story is unapologetic about what it wants to be, and because of that if you like what you get at your first bite you can pretty much be assured you'll enjoy your last. Note that the story and its lore does expand significantly beyond the initial shock and awe of monster invasion apocalypse in later chapters, but the overall tone and style of the shounen action anime remains the same. Whether this is good or bad will depend entirely on what you want out of the story.

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.
