I Pioneered Scientific Magic Chapter 41 Discussion

interesting; pure gold rusted over by generic plot points. I have a feeling that this novel was not the author's own idea, and the author is trying to mimic something else. But its done well enough, clearly. (PS- I think its trying to mimic "When a Mage Revolts." I read 700 chapters of it, and its very similar.)

Plot - super interesting (to me) but again, rusted over by some generic things. I kinda wish there was more depth to the actions, descriptions, motives, and characterizations. This novel is just trying to reach certain plot points and try to steadily pass them at a consistent rate. It kinda goes down as it continues, however.

Characters - cardboard cutouts with names slapped onto them

Worldbuilding - again super interesting, but clearly not the author's original idea. It does not help that the magic is based on chemistry, and clearly, the author does not know much chemistry besides googling some general chemistry you can learn in high school. I major in chemistry, and that is why I know that the author has a very limited understanding of it. For example, they do not consider exo- or endothermic reactions (releasing or absorbing heat - and some reactions can be dangerous [even in a controlled setting] since they release so much heat.. They also don't consider how reactions actually work? Like you can't mash two elements together and get a compound...
