Review Detail of Division in When A Mage Revolts
Review detail
This story is hilarious. Ok, so maybe it's got a "witty AI cliché." But this is not a "system," alright? It doesn't level up, it doesn't give missions, it doesn't analyze any components or anything. It doesn't make reality into a game. So it doesn't really match the cliché. Ok, so other than the AI cliché, there's the "Church vs Mage" cliché. Well... that's true. Not sure what to say about that for now, it's still too soon to see. So I've given World Background three stars. (As of Chapter 20.) And there's the "reincarnation" cliché. Also true. And to make it worse, he reincarnates into a useless young master! But... firstly, most of those novels have the young master die in peace, usually with allies around or in their bedroom. Secondly, it's usually either some hidden plot or an accident. Finally, they have their former identity's memories to aid them. Not so here. He's still in the middle of danger, no memories whatsoever, and had to use his wits to escape. In my humble opinion, this novel has been done really well. So far, the aspects that have made the most impact on me have been the humor and the relationships. The MC is the perfect example of the average guy, which is actually the most impactful type of MC. He even reads webnovels, just like us! So relatable! To quote an Honest Trailer video, "he steals the show just by reacting to stuff." On the more serious side, though, are the relationships. First, the interactions between the MC and the mages and Church. This is a game of outwitting one another. MC's unreliable narrator side comes in here to draw the reader into the plot and then trick them. It's quite effective. Being drawn into one of MC's delusions and thinking that it's actually happening, until something so unbelievable happens that you're like, "Wait, what? That's too eas— ohhhh." Second, the deeper relationships. So far I'd say I've seen only a few of these. However, while both may be clichés (whore/savior, mother/son), both were lovingly written. Annie's character, especially, was just tragic. Finally, I would like to address the two extremes of reviews that have shown up on this novel. One person has left a one star review due to his dissatisfaction with QI. Several others have tried to offset this by rating five stars meaninglessly. I think both of these reviews are harmful and should be edited or removed. Neither are subjective ratings of the quality of the novel itself. Okay, I've said my piece. Now you should go read this.

By the way, 1 reviewer at Chapter 10, 1 at Chapter 1, and EVERYONE ELSE is at CHAPTER 0. Bad review etiquette, very bad.

So far, there hasn't been much romance at all. I'll update you if there are any inclinations toward or against harem.
LazyCrown:Hi, can you tell me if there's going to be a harem in the story? thanks.

Rape women because they were asking for it... i dont want to fall for a story that has a mc whose morals are worst then uneducated 3rd world countries warlords. Which most chinese mcs become after about 200 chapters

I'll let you know if that happens. Right now he's still in the powerless stage, so couldn't do those things if he wanted to.

I have no idea why they changed it either. The old one was a silhouette atop a hill with an orange sky. Maybe the new one is themed according to the revolut...

Great review, but the AI thingy is still turning me off. What does it actually do ? Is it like shang from supreme soldier? If you were to compare this with magical throne, what would be the main difference ?

I won't spoil the AI's identity here. However, I can tell you that the AI is funnier and less romance-pushing than Shang. He is also more useless. He doesn't analyze or calculate things, such as trajectories, substances, or approaching enemies; he can at most give an account of what happens while MC is unconscious or converse with the MC to bounce ideas off each other. While in a certain more recent chapter, he HAS played a bigger role, the specifics of that scenario insinuate that MC won't be able to fully take advantage of it any time soon. Hope this helps!

A like for the first apropriate(?->Cliche cliche cliche, but OK) review i paid attention to in this site( probably read some good ones in the beggining but my expectations were lowering as i continued lingering on this site until i thought that i would never see a review like yours in here). My eyes are tearing at this...i didnt expect to see a genuine review from this site anymore...
