Review Detail of Kyo2112 in Tales of Herding Gods

U know that WMW was a really bad novel in my case. I liked the fact that the MC was evil, but the author made him stupid evil, not cool, epic evil, if u get what I'm saying. Leylin Farlier was a crappy villian and was basically every other villian is Xianxia

Dude!! really. Have you ever read a xianxia before? Xianxia villain acts arrogant with offs the charts ego without a good reasoning. And when did Leylin Farlier acted like that in whole novel? He just calculate the % success and if it's plausible then goes with it.

I think what Daoist Cow wanted to say is : Leylin is evil for the sake of being evil, while this new novel's protagonist is evil because he was raised by evil people in an enviroment different from what is accepted by our social standard / norm.

WMW wasn’t really that good. There’s is no real reason that forced Leylin to the evil path, he could’ve been good actually. However this novel is quite different as there is a reason the MC is evil and there is no BS cheat machine. However there is still a plot armor in this novel. But which MC doesn’t have a little plot armor.

No reason? The author stated every time he could how "ruthless" the magus world was, where the differences in power realms was more striking than any other novel like MGA, where the MC ducks the cultivation system. Magus are inherently cold and ruthless creatures, that's how the author made them.

well warlock of the magus world is a modified (better) copy of the wizard world. The author had a reference to work with and he only needed to change some settings to make WMW better than its original.

I don't think Leylin was particularly evil. he was more of a neutral guy who only did things that profited him and he doesn't even particularly enjoy killing people he was kinda indifferent. He slaughtered billions but not for enjoyment but for profit especially when the WMW universe was filled with really f**ked up people and the whole setting was very dark.

Theres no justification for this behavior though as the world is pretty much like any other fantasy world. Being Evil or ruthless because the author says that something is supposed to be evil is a pretty lame excuse.

There is no need for justification OMFG. Like its a F story. The author makes the characters. Like I think if I was super intelligent I wouldn't risk my life for someone. I would pursue my goal and always think about yhe risks. If the world im in allows killing then I would kill to get to my goal fastet. NOW there are laws and social standards and morals and what not. If there is not enough food for everyone on the planet. Then people wouldnt just starve they would fight and kill to get food. And the MC does that he fights and kills for resources. As for being evil he wasnt have was pragmatic.

Leylin killed his student so he could make a talisman.

Didn't really consider him as a student. To him that guy was just a toy. Leylin isn't some saint. He walked the path of evil cuz it was easier and he could achieve better results infact all the rank 7 and above magus were bad guys because the ***** justice seeking idiots died before reaching such level. In that sh*whole world you can't get success without being bad .

Leylin has only one main goal since coming to the magus world and it's to acquire power. I don't know about you but I would rather take the easy way instead of the hard way to achieve it and when I say the easy way, I am not talking about the stupid way like demonic cultivation in xianxia. Leylin just had everything figured out. He planned in such a way that he will never face difficulties and win with minimum efforts without worrying about how it will affect others.

The MC in this novel is not evil at all he's actually kind of a goody two shoes. Until now I haven't seen one evil thing that the MC has done, his alignment is closer to neutral good.

More like chaotic good. The bastard spread chaos everywhere!!!!

A bit late, but you state that like good and evil are objective terms. Leylin was just a pragmatist moving towards his goal without the bindings of Earth's societal morality.

What about the professors who used their students in experiments?

lol fang yuan has negative plot armour it was all given to his brother from birth it seems
