This is a decent novel having "magic" in a modern society. Unfortunately like most such novels it suffers from some glaring plot holes. In the end I found the "trial 1" chapters to be very boring more than anything else, and coupled with the plot holes caused me to drop it at around chapter 140 even though I had been only skimming through those trial chapters.First off about the other reviews on MC and his personality. In my opinion it is quite good like a normal human, and you will have problems with that only if you prefer the psychotic MCs of modern chinese xianxia.Coming to the plot holes, the most glaring ones are those trials. Putting completely untrained teenagers, including just video gamers, in life and death scenarios in trial-0 (they would not really die though most participants don't know that) in a jungle against beasts and all is totally stupid. You will not filter out strong willed people like that, rather psychotic killers who have been killing since childhood.Also you see some upper world fellows abusing some "loophole" (though we are never told what that is) to enter the trials, yet the organizers do zilch about it nor invoke any deterrence. In other words, if not for the appearance of MC, the trials are just places for upper world fellows to cheat and sweep away, losing the whole point of the trials. The appearance of MC is also a cheat but let's ignore that.Then the second trial is even more stupid. Most participants have been training in the academy which is just regular studies, training and competitive fights but there is absolutely zero preparation for what they have in trial-1. So essentially these are again untrained teenagers put in this trial of "courage" or whatever. In real life the only result of such a trial will be creating fellows with deep traumas and unstable personalities, the kinds of which most modern armies will immediately expel.Lastly my pet peeve on such modern setups though most readers seem to prefer it. Swords, spears, bows in a super advanced Earth. Give me a break. By any standard of logic magic infused guns, snipers, explosives and all will be far far superior. Just shows lack of imagination in conceptualizing modern weapons with magic/cultivation stuff, let alone futuristic weapons. Authors seem to be just following the classic cultivation novels rather than thinking about what such a post modern setup can actually look like.

"I can't blame them, but I disagree with their actions. The founders of this organization were survivors of this kingdom's experimentation with dark magic and forbidden alchemy practices. Others were a product of these artificial methods. This includes Adonias." She paused. "There is an island off the coast of Anbernel where the ruins of these laboratories are. I can take you there if you wish to know more."
"Then quite being a baby and help me cook! You could use a home cooked meal. I bet you have been eating a cup of noodles three times a day since the doctor said you had influenza."
