The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years Chapter s238 Discussion

Doing a quick review before going deeper, for those with haste

The story has 2 seasons so far

The first is the Demigods arc.

The story seems rushed, but taking into account there may be several seasons to come, you can ignore it, and treat season one simply as a prologue.

Now 3 things:

First: There is no harem

Only a few friends that readers wished were love interests. And there's no romance.

Second: It's good?

It's ok... it's not bad, and it's not tr*sh.

It's not good because the characters and the plot are dumb. Like, they are not dumb because they do s*upid things, they are dumb because the author is dumb, and this reflects on them.

Third: Is it worth reading?

I suppose so...

It doesn't have something fatal that usually ruins a story, it's just that, the author is not smart to extract a good content from the story. But it's not a tr*sh story, so I suppose it's a good read to pass the time.

In short, it's a good story with a dumb author.

...

Now going deeper.

There are many things that ended up leaving me dissatisfied with the story.

Spoiler

The first was Beniang's death.

I mean, how long does it take for a person to die after their heart explodes?

Beniang's death was only the most impactful of the many times that Frey left his companions to do his things without worrying about the danger they might be facing. This scene only showed more of how dumb Frey and the author are.

They were facing an apocalypse, one of the most powerful demigods before the Lord, and the moment he arrives... is when Beniang was at her last moments after her heart exploded.

Then you ask! What was he doing before that?

Nothing!

He knew that his companions were facing a powerful enemy that they could not defeat, because HE was the one who told them to face him, and meanwhile he was taking his time, only to remember to go help them in her last moments.

You can make some reasonable explanations based on the plot of why he did this, but for me it's just dumb.

The second was the final battle, between Lord, Lucifer and Frey.

I just can't put, in one post, how dumb frey and all the characters involved looked in that battle.

My god!!!!!!

How Frey is dumb when he's preparing for the battle!

How the dialogue between Lord, Lucifer and Frey is dumb when they meet!

How each of them is dumb when they are showing their cards!

Frey and Beelzebub (Hell's greatest schemer) preparing for the battle is the dumbest thing I've ever read. To tell you the truth, you can say Frey doesn't even prepare anything, even though he is the weakest of the 3, even though the other 2 had prepared for a veeeeery long time for the battle.

The dialogue between the 3 then, what a dumb shit.

For some reason, their exchanges looked like a single character talking to himself. What a weird sh*t their conversation.

And the battle then?! What battle? I don't even know how to start. I'll just leave it while I say "how pathetic Lucifer is." My God!!!

Just dumb, dumb, dumb, d...

And poor Iris Phisfounder,

In the end, Lukas leaves her again, and he still asks her to wait for him, for I don't know how many thousands or even millions of years, after all that she went through for him.

Poor Iris, poor Iris...

From the beginning to the end, it seems that everything is in her hands, that she is the mastermind of everything that is happening... When in fact, all she did was release Lukas at the beginning of the story.

All the potential and mystery built up for her from the beginning till the end of the story about her being a great schemer was simply discarded, and it turned out that the only thing she did was free Lukas, while serving Lord and Lucifer in their plans at the same time.
