Supreme Magus (Web Novel)

I would honestly say its in my top 3 favourite novels. The story is mainly about his progression into becoming an op mage but its also a lot about his character growth and his relationship with other people. Its a long novel with not the fastest of pacing even 2400 chapters later there are still a lot of people more powerful than him. I really like the fight scenes I feel like they are written well enough I can fully imagine whats happening. But thats just my opinon.

It's good for about 800 chapters or so. The MC is cold and manipulative, curious about the world and magic, and overall cool. He does have relationships, but they're monogamous. Problems start after, with inconsistent characters and power scaling. The story loses focus and characters start becoming more annoying. I've read about 1200 chapters because of the investment I had in Lith and Solus, as well as the world and magic system, but while the world is still cool, it's being drowned by whole chapters of power system stuff, while Lith and Solus take weird *ss turns. What man with a pocket waifu looks at another woman? I don't know...

Not the poison testers XD I read comments before reading this but I didn't trust them when they said the start is good but it goes to hell. How bad could it be I thought. Pretty bad turns out. Pointless b*llsh*t drama with some cuckery on the side.

It’s ok to objectively critically review your favorite series or anything you consume…, what do you not understand about what that dude wrote? Plain and simple, the author is getting lazy… :/ What was once a rich in-depth thorough progressing narrative has turned into Dragon Ball Z/Super power leveling/scaling with aggressive dues ex deus ex machina “plot twists” and the author just sweeping under the rug every inconvenience a character may have. Whether it’s lack of power, intelligence, resources, emotional stability/trauma, or this rom/com drama sitcom that’s been going on for 500+ chapters, the archetype of a character no longer matters because the author doesn’t pay attention to small details anymore and whimsically decides to buff, nerf or change the personality of a character randomly entirely… :/ Yes the magic system is incredibly detailed but what does that matter if everyone is overpowered/“overgeared,” and we spend 20+ chaps crafting just to fight nigh immortal randoms

I wouldn't call the fights realistic, unless you're awakened? Teach me your ways. The authour put work into the power system and I appreciate that, but I do feel it excessive sometimes. There is such a focus on it that the character work necessary for a novel of this length suffers. Lith's whole family is flawless, a travesty considering how much of them we see. The Ernas girls are all over the place, conflicts popping up just to give them something to do and their characters acquiring and dropping flaws like flowers in their hair. Kamila might as well be a blow up doll. Lith himself is pretty good, but his change feels abrupt and borderline bipolar. He walks the streets an inch away from slaughtering people then makes unprompted romantic gestures? As for the story, each arc is too far apart. It feels too episodic, there's no overarching plot, just things that happen. The world is cool and dynamic because of that, but the plot is aimless.

This is fairly skiappable and it's more my sleep that suffers
