Based on chapters 1-244,I would start off with the story general plotline being similar to WMW or Warlock of the Magus world if you have read that. Many reviews would comment on that and some agree that it is very similar. I just want to highlight that the reviewers have said that this came first so from that it is assume that WMW have potentially copied the aspects from this novel rather than this novel copying WMW. However, because this novel have less translated chapters than WMW and WMW being in a more prominent position in reputation, people assume that this novel is just a copycat. I just want to mention this point because alot of the new viewers need to know that the novel is not a copycat and WMW is not a copycat either because nothing in the world is truly original. Many work done by people have aspects from other activities. This novel compared to the WMW is just like Harry potter and Lord of the rings, both have magic and villans that is super overpowered. I know the comparison is not one to one while WMW with this novel is super similar, but the MC do things quite differently, for me WMW MC is more cold and machine like while the MC here is more human like but less clever. *Minor spoiler, WMW MC is colder for me because he don't really appreciates his family while this MC does so that speaks alot of words.* But sometimes I question the decision made by this MC more as he makes more mistakes which could be good as it shows his human side. For me, this novel and WMW is similar to Power Rangers from my childhood,Power ranger always follows the same principle, have the rangers and the villains fighting one another and the rangers winning fight at the end of the day but people still watch that because the side story and how the rangers achieve their powers is what attracts viewers so the path taken by MC is similar but what they did and how they achieve it is different. Overall the storyline is turning out great as each motive is back-up and their is good progress, world background have potential for having ancient times and modern age incorporated as well as having multiple continents to explore, Character is on par with WMW, maybe better on the personality side but lacking in history of the character (have to wait), the updating stability and translation quality is 3 stars for me as it is not overly fast like other novel at 20 but it is still good enough already and there is a few grammar mistakes(such as not knowing who the MC is addressing his message to and etc) that affect the story a little bit but generally understandable and the experience is not affected. This novel is rated above average in my library and it is really good to read it thinking that it is like another path that the MC with computer chip in his soul can take. Although the future development is unknown for me as I have not read the raw but I guess that it will be as great as WMW is. Good work Translator, a baby step now, a general in the future! Ps. This is my first review ever so I may not write a very good and accurate review but I hope it helps to attract you to read this novel without too much spoiler. English is my second language so sorry for any inconvenience! :)

Very well written review! I agree with the points you made about the two somewhat different MCs. Thank you for reading and reviewing! I'll definitely try to improve the grammar issue you mentioned there. :D

Well, the author of WMW really got a lot of things from this novel and that's why his acronym is "The Plagiarist". He takes one novel that already exists and rewrites it, after some chapters the novel goes a completely different direction than the original, his novels are all like this.
Yes,I totally agree with you and I have always notice the author's name being The Plagiarist but I did not mention this point because I am not fond of calling an author a copycat as I feel that they bring something unique and different to the table/novel even if the general premise/direction is the same. A copycat should be only consider if 70% of the words is copy one to one and while it is debatable, I think "The Plagiarist" method is quite ingenious as its very time consuming to start a story if its start from scratch so by using other similar premises, so much time is saved and the story can be thought of faster. If I was a writer of a novel, I will be The Plagiarist as well.

So thats why i feel like im reading wmw. Thanks for the info.
Well, that explained why WMW sucks at the end. For me its 300+ last chapters and maybe more was total garbage

had thoughts of dropping this cause of the said too much similarity however upon reading this i changed my mind. very well written review kind sir/mam, will continue reading this novel. thanks. 😬👍
Warlock of the Magus World have been completed in the translation for a while now and I really like the story and the premise of the WMW itself which is why I would welcome and suggest more similar premises and stories to WMW like wizard world (although wizard world came out first and the author name for WMW is "the plagiarist".) Reading till the current chapters available, the direction is vastly different already and both stories no longer is a copycat of one another but can stand with their own unique identity. Initial start of both stories is same but the journey is different. A big difference which is not too spoiler-ish are that WMW MC rely on the chip too much while Wizard world rely more on one self rather than the chip. I thanked you for taking my review as the starter for continuation f your reading of this great novel.

Quick Question: Does the mc go OP bc of his AI chip?
If you have read WOTMG, to compare Wizard World and WOTMG ,I would say Wizard World tends to use the chip less than WOTMG and the usage of it is not too over the top. The chip shown for the current 320+ chapter is less powerful than the WOTMG when you read 320 chapters for WOTMG. The chip is still an overpowered tool for MC but its tone down and focus more on the MC cultivation skills itseld. I recommend you read it~

Haha, totally agree.

as a fan for this author(Get Lost),what i have to say is,the WMW author copied Get Lost's idea. in fact,the WMW author copied at least 3 authors's idea in QidianChina or more,So he mocked himself by calling his name "Plagiarist".of course,he did it so well for every idea. by the way,Get Lost is one of the most creative authors in QiDian China.

Helpful review. Thx.
very helpfull, a lot of things suddenly make sence
But your wrong when you said there are no original in this world
It is based on your own opinion and perspectives. In the past, producing originals is much easier than the modern day era and I expect with the passing of time, the difficulty level of producing a 100% total original novel is almost not possible. Every novel in regards to cultivation could be said to be copied and unoriginal since they did not propose the "cultivation" but does that mean they are bad? Clearly it is building of an idea in order to make a masterpiece and if the original author of the novel, in this case the Wizard World author, did not sue Warlock of The Magus World Author for plagiarism, it means that he is fine with it.

Omg hahahaha you made my day
SpiriteStone:You are talking about suing someone over copyright in china seriously?
Well, I agree with the review- there are so few original ideas. Like vampires for example; Dracula and Underworld.
Don't forget way of the devil
