Shadow Magus

This book is so far well written, being a dark romance. I have laughed but mostly I have cried. in a world where love is ever so delicate, I find it beautiful that Tabitha is trying to give Mark a chance to prove himself even though he keeps messing up. I love the way they both love Christian unconditionally. Especially Mark. For a controlling,  possessive guy he is trying, and I can see it. Maybe it will all work out for them. Can't wait to read more.😍

You know, I was wondering why the quality of this book was so good when I saw that the author had previously written Rise of The Undead Legion. Then everything made sense, great book btw.

I didn’t read it and unfortunately I don’t think i will when literally the first two sentences in the synopsis are like this.

does anyone know the raw  .....................................shjddjdjdkdkdkfjjcjxcjjxjcjccjjcjcckckckcdjnddnnxnxndndjdjdjdfnfndjxjjxjxjxjxjdj

I can’t read this, the grammar makes it feel like a kid wrote the story.How hard can it be to capitalize letters? Unnecessary exclamation marks etc

I've read the raws (not up to the latest chapter) and so will only tell spoilers about what I've read so far.The world building is good so far, at least in China. Organisations and important/relevant locations are clearly explained about and you know what is happening and what has changed in different locations in the country. History of cultivation and what led to the current world is also told about clearly. Though the rest of the world hasn't been explored, it is hinted to do so in the future (western werewolves/vampires).Characters are not one dimensional and have different goals/ideals which are realistic. Lots of time is spent explaining stories about side characters and how they became as they are. The side characters are not stupid/arrogant, know when to back down and know when to act. For example, the leaders of the government want to gain Taoists and also suppress them so they don't betray them (current Taoists can't block bullets, missiles etc.) but also keep friendly relations with the more powerful cultivators like Gu Yu since he effortlessly destroyed their secret teams meant to deal with cultivators and even then it is only because he doesn't have a bloodthirsty/crazed personality (they said they would use everything that had to destroy him if that was the case). Some characters are forgotten (Zeng family) and some are reintroduced a hundred chapters later (a female who happened to find a cultivation manual) but the main heroine Jiang Xiaozhai is not forgotten and is not a weakling who always needs saving. She and Gu Yu are a couple and both are equally or near equally as powerful as the other. They are both overpowered as they are the first or one of the first people to cultivate and are at the very top in the power rankings so far (no one more powerful than them has been introduced unless you count those ancient cultivation remains). They are known as the 'Immortal Couple of Phoenix Mountain' (yes, they own it) and nobody dares mess with them. Currently it is not a harem but a girl they pick up on their travels (Long Qiu), likes Gu Yu but there has been no lover like contact between them as she is treated like a younger sister by the two of them. The reason for her liking him is because she was mistreated in her original village and he is the first man to not mistreat her. Bullsh*t reason, I know (why don't you fall in love with Jiang Xiaozhai as she is the first female to accept you). I checked the latest chapters to be sure (there is no change in their relationship). I really will drop this if he accepts her. The couple are perfect, it doesn't need to be ruined by a third wheel. This always happens in Chinese novels and always ruins them. There doesn't need to be another lover for Gu Yu, so stay as the younger sister.I won't say much about the story but basically, there used to be lots of spiritual essence on the Earth and cultivators were everywhere. However, it suddenly started to disappear until no one could cultivate (reach the first step of cultivation) anymore. Then when Gu Yu started to cultivate he discovered with Jiang Xiaozhai that spiritual essence was mysteriously recovering (they were the first to discover it). They then told the government through a trade and now everyone is trying to adapt and prepare for the change through gaining resources, people talented in cultivation, Taoists with cultivation heritages and making plans on how to notify the citizens of the country about the recovery of spiritual energy (government's problem). Spiritual essence recovery is global. Spirit stones have been introduced and it is said that it will become the main form of currency for cultivators. As for the cultivation system, Gu Yu is only at the beginning and for me, the terms are too hard to translate. Gu Yu has split the initial realm into 5 stages and I believe there are three realms higher than the initial realm (according to ancient cultivation records). Although it hasn't been mentioned yet (or i may have missed it), but I think he is at the 4th stage. Flying is possible at higher realms and true immortality does exist.Is this going to be taken down for too many spoilers? Hope this review answers some of your questions. I used MTL to read this novel so somethings I have understood and said in the review may be incorrect.

Story is great. The author changed the events of HP so much just from the beginning that it made me very very interested. Author's grammar is great. It's at the level that it may be approved by the proud grammar nazis. Author's updates consistently. The author hasn't broken his(her?) vow of updating 2 chapters a day 5 times per week yet. All in all this fanfic has the potential to be among the exceptional if author keeps the consistency, keeps learning and evolving his(her?) writing as the story progresses, and not be too greedy when he(she?) starts to monetizing the novel.
