For all of these five star reviews on this book, i guess i will have to be the equalizer; i read up to chapter 46 today, and let me tell you; my day was wasted on trash, don't read this book, don't waste your time, there are so many better books on qidian, i don't even understand how this is trending, but i will list a few issues so you can have a general idea of what you're getting into with this.
1. Science and magic is portrayed as complete opposites able to completely replace the other, this boils down to the world he lives in not even having math or physics, just magic.
2. There was mention of a cultivation technique with the old mans necklace ring, which would allow him to save the world, he promptly forgets about it and doesent remember within the next 40 chapters, idk if he ever remembers. Keep in mind that those 40 chapters span a time period of about 2 years. Yup.
3. The author mentions the characters ages etc. But forgets to mention their mental age, which is important because all of them seem about 5-10 years younger mentally than they should be; especially the 16 year olds.
4. The mc tries to lay low by being dismally bad at studying and almost getting expelled if he wasnt actually a crouching tiger hidden dragon, which he is, but hes dismal at that too; as under the examination he is measured to be better than everyone else... how to be low key: 1. Become the trash on the bottom of society, 2. Become the divine leader of the leaderboard within seconds, 3. Do it all in the presence of the whole school to be sure they notice and gossip about it, 4. Piss of the strongest existence in the whole city, because u have beef with him but u still wanna lay low... wait?
The magic system is pretty pathetic aswell, though i didn't really see its potential during the 40 chapters, add onto a bunch of inconsistencies, some sexist remarks and an 'in general' scaredycat useless horndog mc what do we got?
(btw the whole draw was the idea of a badass mage owning people within his own ranks, but i lost faith pretty quickly as he is basically op by virtue of deus ex machina ,or even worse; op by old man he paid respect to being hidden expert with tons of priceless treasures to help him along. There is no reason to root for him, atleast not as far as i saw, and he definitively isn't even slightly badass.)
Apparently a trending story on qidian... what a joke.
Lets see qidian delete this review, i'm curious if they actually do.
Oh btw i rate it 1 out of 5 stars because i don't think the release rate matters when it comes to quality, in fact it might be in detriment to it. As for the writing quality, i don't only consider grammar, but overall enjoyment of the plot and characters and motivations. Cause the stuff connecting that stuff isnt air, u have to use writing to connect ****, unless you are making an encyclopedia, where its enough to put the information in alphabetical order.
Ignore the trolls. There is a crappy anime and manga. Some watched that and got the wrong idea. This is an interesting novel that combines cultivation with magic and a modern setting. It does take a little bit to get into it. I think this story has a fun mc with a lot off good fight scenes. Are character has an advantage. Most people start off with one power and then gradually get more as they level up. He starts off with two. I like the waxia elements with the modern setting. Give it a shot.
as Chinese i can tell you guys that as novel progress it gets better and better unlike other novels.Just do not watch anime because anime is really made for money and it is really bad one.
At first i thought it was trash because i watched anime with really bad drawing but after reading it i understood that this novel is really diamond one.You just need to give it a chance.
"Versatile Mage" is a captivating and enchanting novel that explores the world of magic from a fresh, relatable perspective. The story revolves around an ordinary individual, Graydon霄, who discovers he possesses an extraordinary ability to wield multiple magical elements. This unique take on the mage genre challenges conventional wisdom, as Graydon's versatility sets him apart from the typical one-trick wizards.
The narrative is skillfully crafted, weaving a tale of self-discovery, friendship, and the struggle for power in a complex magical society. As Graydon navigates through trials and tribulations, he learns not only about his powers but also about the true meaning of responsibility and the importance of empathy. The author deftly balances action with introspection, creating a compelling narrative that keeps readers engaged.
What makes "Versatile Mage" stand out is its character development. Graydon's growth from an uncertain protagonist to a mature and compassionate hero is both inspiring and believable. The supporting cast adds depth and richness to the story, each with their own struggles and motivations, making the world feel vivid and alive.
In conclusion, "Versatile Mage" offers a delightful blend of fantasy, adventure, and thought-provoking themes. It's a captivating read for fans of the genre, appealing to those who crave originality and well-rounded characters. The novel reminds us that true strength lies not just in raw power, but in the capacity to adapt and use one's abilities wisely.
So why do we have to pay when new chapters are not released every day. It take so long for you to release new chapters. I love this novel and can wait for new chapters. So if this author doesn't do his job a little better maybe he should be replaced with someone that will.
This was one of the worst 1rst Chapters I've read in about 60 novels or so. If only the chapter was just boring and the the MC borderline morronic like many other novels.... but no... the author had to go further.. "how could we possibly have something as incredible and mysterious as Math" Good fu.cking luck explaining grades, like having 6/20 or even selling shi.t. No commerce will happen, no numbers, no sharing something between people... Cause we have name for that, it's math, and its science. And we don't do science... *slow clap* "this literature you're talking about is Science, right? Science doesn't exist here" Well, little friend. Playing with words is kinda different than playing with numbers. And if the author wrote on his resume that he was a scientist cause he wrote a novel... that would be very sad. Good luck explaining how people wrote their school books, or even the novels every one knows... because Writing is science.. and we don't do science.. *slow clap* I was so fed up with this chapter early on... and was pushing "one more chapter, the end is soon", but it kept going and going, more and more boring and stupid. "don't tell me you actually want to take the exams for Magic High School, and become a Mage" No... dumbdumb ! I've been in this school for 9 years studying magic so I could play football. OF COURSE YOU HOPE TO BECOME A MAGE IF YOU GO TO A MAGE SCHOOL ! *slow clap* "The Light Element Magic's earliest user was "Edison" The light thief, you mean ? That's it. No More. Ciao. Dropped
This is the most trash novel I've ever read in my life and the that fact people are giving this novel 5 star's make me lose faith in humanity. In the very fist chapter it's made evidently clear that author is a very special person as in his mind literature is classified as a category of science. Then in next 30 or chapters the only close thing to a love rival to mc is the heroines fist cousin ya you heard me right pretty bad huh but oh it get so much worse. Not only is he the mc only clear love rival for the fist 30 chapter's but you get to read his cringe inner monolog about why isn't my fist cousin hooking up with me. Uuuuuuuuggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggg. Sorry i was throwing up. Then the products of science seem to be everywhere without so much any explanation in a fictional world that's supposed to be without science and the magic system seems to be a combination between a cultivation novel and avatar the last air bender which only make the products of science in world supposedly without even more baffling. Want to know something even more disgusting this novel has an anime & manga. When dozens of novels billions of times better than this one don't have ether.
