This review is going to be about the Light Novel instead of the manhwa.The english translation is fan translated and can be read at woopread. Com. There are two seasons. The review is going be about season 1 of the book.Caution:If you are a fan of the fantasy genre where magic, elves, gods, demons are aplenty, then this book is for you!Season 1 is about 239 chapters which is decently big without lot of repeated plot. So no fluff, action packed, emotion packed whirlwind tour. Once you pick up the book, you better keep an eye on the watch, otherwise you might end up skipping your meals, and forget to sleep.A brief summary of the plotline:Semi God-like beings (called Demigods) want to rule humans and the 'Continent'. Humanity's power is like ants in front of these supreme beings. Except, humanity knows magic, and those who use magic are called wizards. Wizards powers are divided into 'stars'. Starting from the weakest, 1 star to the most powerful wizards humanity can produce are 9 stars. But even the strongest of Humanity's wizards can't guarantee a victory against the weakest of the Demigods.Lucas Trowmen is a 9-star mage, a genius wizard, visionary of his time. He has brought together the different races, countries in a firm belief that Demigods can be defeated. He and his friends are putting up a fight against demigods, doing the unbelievable, slowly 1 at a time, defeating the Demigods. But then the unthinkable (or is it expected?) happened. The ruler of the Demigods, Lord defeats Lucas Trowmen all too easily. The amazing 9-star power of Lucas is nothing in front of the rule of the Demigods. Lord decides, just defeating Lucas isn't enough. Killing him will be too easy. Instead of locking him away for an eternity of solitude in a locked away dimension. A solitary prison one of its kind. 4000 years later, Lucas is able to break away from this prison and return - but the world has changed. Could he get his revenge? He has lost everything, could he gain all the power back in this more 'modern' current world? When he was at his strongest he couldn't even touch the hair of Lord, will history repeat for him again?Review:This entire novel is a thrill ride. Loved every moment of it. Lucas and his interpersonal relationships with his friends from 4000 years back, as well as the new friends he makes in the 'current' world, is heartwarming. The author does a pretty good job of exploring the human side of the characters in the novel. It's not only an action novel, it's a novel about commitment, promises, never giving up, failing, falling down and getting back up, not forgetting your roots. I can't wait to pick up season 2.My rating 10/10. Heaveho!
