Tales of the Legendary Magus

This book is something else. The universe is extremely well constructed and I can see how it'll turn into an elaborate series. The main character is interesting, despite being a bit overpowered from the start. I'm really curious to see more of it!

Heya! Author here!

I decided to give you some positives and negatives about the story to help you all decide if this story is for you. These points are a combination of my own opinion and comments from other readers.

Positives:

1. Complex yet strict magic system: (Going to insert part of a review I've gotten from a beta reader)  The magic system seems, at least on the surface level, to be quite strict and complex spells and mechanics are built on top of more fundemental and simpler rules and mechanisms.

2. Proper setup for future plots: (once more going to use one of these reviews) There's a whole lot of setup happening as is to be expected, and I expect that it will unfold into a sprawling tapestry of a hundred plotlines soon enough.... Now at this point some time has passed so this review is a little outdated. The first arc is completely finished and the second arc is in it's beginning stages.

3. Great worldbuilding: I believe worldbuilding is this novel's biggest strength shortly after the magic system. Even though it takes some time to be fully explained, there really is a whole, completely thought out, world out there. Both mortal and magical.

4. Proper strength system: This ties together closely with the magic system but this isn't a wuxia novel. Someone won't just be stronger because they cultivated for a hundred years longer. The strength increases in a logical way.

5: Character with different ideologies: Even though it takes time with my writing to get a proper feel for the characters, each character has their own desires and emotions, this isn't always the same as the emotions the MC feels. Over time you might see bridges begin to burn as different people's desires take them on different paths.

6. A large amount of hidden content: Even though it is by no means required, as an attentive reader you might spot a number of hints about the magic system. The magic system is very strict but not everything is completely explained, if you pay attention as a reader, you might have a chance of understanding the three laws behind magic before the MC does.



Negatives:

1.  Character with different ideologies: Even though I put this in positives, it also fits in with the negatives. Characters that don't agree with the MC at all times can be seen as annoyances by some readers.

2. Lack of character descriptions: As an author my main weakness lays in describing characters. I do my best to make my thoughts clear, sometimes this succeeds, sometimes this fails, causing it to take some time before completely understanding certain characters.

3. A small number of grammar mistakes: Every now and then I do make a typo, if you leave a paragraph comment I will surely fix this but still, some typos are unavoidable.

4. Not really an Isekai (putting another part of a beta reader's review here): If you like isekai, this will be a disappointment, but otherwise a good story.  The MC could and should have been a talented native of his world because being from a different planet doesn't seem to have any bearing on the story whatsoever.


Thank you all for reading this, I tried to be as impartial as possible.

I came here in search for the most deserving winner of WPC140 because I participated in the previous one myself, and I'd like to see how well the participants are doing for this biweekly prompt. I'd say, among all entries, this one is the most deserving for the gold tier award. It doesn't disappoint.

Writing - I love the style and the tone used for this. It's light, fun, and has a refreshing feel to it. I don't need to stress myself with grammar pet peeves because this has little to no error at all. Very understandable for a casual reader.
Stability - very steady, keep it up
Characters - gold-tier description, and they are really entertaining that they hardly make u bored
Development - nice, nice pace. I enjoy the comedy and the seemingly easy flow of the story's progression
World - vet vivid imagery, keep it up again!

Good luck! Hope u win! Read this everyone!

Can anyone dislike a story that has the Legendary Truck Kun in it!? The answer is NO!! At least not me.
Author, you've succeeded in gaining my interest from the very first chapter. I loved the way Villin is so composed when he dies as though him reincarnating and transmigrating is a given.
MC is trying hard to learn about the new place he is in rather than being all-knowing and OP from the very start. Plus he's smart and has chosen his skills wisely.
You've managed to get a few chuckles out of me so kudos to that!
Will definitely continue to read more of your work in the future. Great Job!

Though the story seemed serious, there is comic relief in it making me laugh while reading it.. ..Good job author with a good world along with cute and interesting characters. .. I loved it. .

Starts off very promising and very good and then degenerates into complete illogic with MC playing passive observer and just going along and not questioning anything and even agreeing with those who try to kill him!  Really disappointing especially after it started SO well.

MC also turns from guy who saved another life into guy who doesn't care if   attempted murder is made on him since its 'school policy' and he is fine with it.

I am halfway through but I think i need to review it ASAP to let all readers know that this one this really good!! I love genres like this and truly this one is amazing! Good work Author! Keep it up!

In my last review, I wrote about the overall qualities of this book. These are unchanged - very good! Another aspect I would like to mention is "Plot-Armour". Don't expect such a thing in this novel! Main characters can be hurt, even badly and permanently and it is even possible for them to die - so there is no such thing as "Plot-Armour" in this book at all. (Which I like VERY MUCH!)
Thanks to Bel for not serving such clichés here!
