So I will break down why I dislike this story. 1.) The Chinese MC hypocritical view on gods, Chinese people claim to be atheist but in this story and most story's they always want to be a god I find it frustrating to read these two faced MCs and its frustrating to see this type of attitude as it just comes off as only I can be a god any other god but me is a fake god. 2.) The main character feels like a mild psychopath his reasons for obsession and pursuit of magic come off as petty and not very reasonable. 3.) The repeated emphasis on his lack of enthusiasm towards others and his relationships is dull and uninspiring as it gets beaten to death repeatedly and used as and excuse to often cover up for his lack of personality. 4.) MC personality- Based on his lack of motivation towards interacting with others, it just makes him seem more petty and he puts in zero effort to have any meaningful connection if he sees no immediate benefit which isn't the norm for people and the author tries to make this out to be a special trait for him but it just causes him to seem weird in my opinion. The people who claim that its normal for people to only seek out others for their own benefit are obviously not normal and I find the idea that they think it is worrying as they seem to have physiological issues. Remember I said its not the norm but not that it doesn't happen thank you. 5.) The ideas on magic have some merit and seem interesting, but this is ruined by the fact that this kid is only 1st year when he starts exploring those ideas with by the end of his 1st year only having the equivalent of 3rd year level knowledge I just find the whole idea that he comes up with all these ideas that later prove right far fetched and make it hard to me to believe. 6.) The jumps in logical reasoning for him to figure out the chamber of secrets information so easily with just partial bits of information was unnecessary as the author gave him half baked knowledge of the first book and nothing else yet he was able to piece together the whole plot of the second book in the matter of a summer with little information. I feel this was just a plot hole being filled when it was easier to just say he had half baked knowledge of all the books then pick and choose what is missing and what is available. I know this is just a fictional story and I shouldn't get to hung up on realistic interpretations but I have my preferences and opinions on what I enjoy to read and I dislike power fantasy, HP is a universe with low-magic so the whole premise of this book breaks the world view in my opinion making it a bad story. The philosopher stone is the ceiling of Alchemy in the story and the side effects are well described making the idea of becoming a god or immortal beyond that unlikely and whimsical I can see the story wanting to take the path of cultivation novel and it probably will.

Reveal spoiler

Honestly the synopsis is misleading, i didn't really wanted to read the story after reading the synopsis, but read it anyway since I've read some of the authors work and liked them enough to give this one a chance, and i wasn't disappointed the story is good enough for me to add it to the library and read as it gets updated, keep up the good work author san.

MC is not very interesting, doesn't want be involved in the plot and Dumbledore's manipulation wants to obtain immortality and learn the essence of magic. Not getting involved is all right but he doesn't think other characters as people at all thinking that everything will solve itself but also changes the plot by having quirrell kicked out and the excuse given is he doesn't know the plot after the first book but when it's convenient he knows other plot points. MC is not a good person, very self absorbed , he is a jerk and he is proud of it.

Good HP fanfic, i binge read 300 chapters in 1 day. so far im enjoyed reading this......................................................................

a good novel...the author doesn't hesitate to jump outside the HP box here

This is an amazing novel and its a shame that so few people are reading it. It could rank in top 10 hp fics of all time.

Got to 100 then kind just got bored mc is self absorbed doesnt interact with the plot. I get the logic behind it but it becomes incresingly dull as the chapter number increases. Not for me

One of my favorites, a bit slow paced but with an interesting view on magic. The system is not overly present wich is a good point for me.
