Mages Are Too OP

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

As one of the first players to gain access to World of Falan—the first immersive game worldwide—Roland creates his character as a Mage.

However, playing as a Mage is not as fun and easy as he thought. His head even explodes after he casts the very first spell in the game.

Stubbornly sticking to his class when most Mages decide to create a new character, Roland gradually discovers tricks of the trade and his unusual talent. This allows him to change people’s stereotypes on Mages and to explore the deeply-buried secrets of this game…

The worst thing about this novel, which I think for many people can make the difference between this being 3 stars and being 4 stars (whether or not you can ignore it) is;

Spoiler

If you were the MC, and you realised you could use magic learned in the game in real life, would you really even care about ANYTHING in the game except the magic? Well unfortunately our MC learns very early on about a meditation method in the game that can allow mages to grow their mental power (needed for magic) which he realises doesn't work for players, so he submits it as a bug and gets a permanent passive buff on his character (one of the main cheats the MC has) but yet, later on when the MC realises he can use magic from the game in real life but hasn't got enough mental power; he has entirely forgotten about the meditation method that didn't work in the game, but would work in real life- in actuality the author himself has forgotten this; combine this with the MC's seeming disregard for bothering to learn magic in real life, it really becomes quite unbelievable; I know, it's a fantasy novel so suspension of disbelief is the first hurdle, but you can't just throw away all Human psychology like the author did here. The MC is a magic addict, who spends literally 90% of his game time studying magic so he can get power, which constitutes 8 hours of his real time, yet outside of the game, every day, for 16 hours, he just doesn't give a sh*t about it? What.

Very mediocre read, interesting for a while but eventually you realise it's just a pretty generic slice-of-life fantasy, if I didn't find this on a chinese novel site, I would've been surprised to find out it wasn't written by a Japanese author. <<less

It's ok. Fun, entertaining, but nothing more than that. Read it if you're bored

The magic system starts out really deep and fun, but as time passes it's barely even mentioned anymore. Nobody except the MC and his Teamates feel alive in this world. The worldbuilding is terrible. There's literally not 1 player worth mentioning which isn't in the MC's team.

Roland also goes around collecting girls like candy. Actually, he doesn't even try to collect them. He just kind of ignores them and they automatically fall in love with him. And... more>> of course he lets them follow him around everywhere, why not?

Feels like the book's really hasn't advanced much since chapter 100-120. <<less

I thought this novel was quite good when it started. Not too rushed in giving power to the MC, had some good bits of emotions and looked like a refreshing read.

Except, it wasn't. Everything good about the novel slowly bleeds out as the story continues.

In the first 100 chapters, the MC was still thinking about not being able to be with someone who he wouldn't be able to be with forever. But then he's pulling the dumb card and is acting like he can't open his mouth to refuse the... more>> women now. And of course, it becomes a harem situation.

There weren't really any other good or likable characters. A lot of them were really just cardboard cutouts with labels slapped onto them.

The world building felt a bit mature at first until the characters started talking like they just learned about s*x and wants to show off their newfound knowledge to look cool. It's just distracting and dumb when some old dude talks about how he banged a tree lady as if it's normal conversation with someone you're meeting for the first time. The over-sexualization of everything just brings the novel down into the abyss. The women especially were grating to read. 90% of the time, they were just there to be a piece of ass for the author to add some adjectives on. Occasionally they'll give their stuff out to the MC so that there'll be an illusion of advancement.

The plot also felt directionless. It felt like reading the same generic XianXia plot that I've read for a hundred times.

The magic learning side of things got slow and eventually started to be dragged on the ground. I suppose it was an attempt to slow down the progression so that the MC didn't just leave everyone behind but the gaping hole left by it just wasn't filled up with anything interesting.

It could have been great, awesome even. Just, wasn't. <<less

Don't miss out on this novel, there are a lot of dumb negative reviews by lackwits and cucks.

I understand some people are upset that it ended, but things have to end somewhere. I hope the author makes a sequel though

Genius + OP MC. Really cool magic system where the MC researches and invents new spells.

Sadly this novel is filled with h**ny women trying to seduce the MC.

Romance: none for now, but the MC clearly thinks about having s*x with various characters + some kind of r*pey stuff he does.

The book started out Amazing... The magic was in depth and thought out. Then came the Harem. The last 200 chapters were just thrown up against a wall in a rush to complete something. Plot lines were forgotten, characters destroyed, and the entire thing set up to be part 1 of a series. That being said, I was invested enough to read the whole thing, and still want to know what would have happened next, but as is, the ending is garbage.

Disappointing. Don't read. Giant plotholes that aren't resolved by the end.

It started out with decent potential, solid world build (this is what hooked me), some humor and an interesting mystery.

But around 500 chapters in it throws everything away.

Before that everything felt like it was building up to something but after that the author kinda just gave up. Every good thing just became a side story to the MC's harem. And the way women are written towards the end is just really gross. It gets so sexist I felt like I... more>> was talking to my grandpa. I get that there were sexist elements before but they were just at regular Asian culture level at first, then they got to incel level. And as the sexist elements increased it just became a lazy harem, the MC got more unreasonably aggressive, and he got shounen protag density when before he understood women's emotion. Overall I'm just sad after reading the end cause I had so much hope for the series and they just spat in my face for hoping. <<less

Agree with above post....

The story is actualy good and has it's strong point, but somehow the MC character is started to changed and the ending is so abrupt
Spoiler

somehow all 777 chapter adventure story in the game is just a dream of parallel world

[collapse]

Pro

    • The world building is good and has quite the potential. it could be a long 2000th chapter novel rather than just only this 800th
    • The mage system is good
Con

    • Bad ending
      Spoiler

      (though it's kinda expected since Roland only need level 15 to be Legendary, maybe the author also run out of idea to pursue because only demigod and god level left, while after he god the Floating City he already became semi demigod)

      [collapse]
    • MC character changes in the near end of the novel
    • Love story beside w/ all the females are kinda suck
      Spoiler

      maybe Andonara a bit better one but there's no reason and it's too fast/weird for
      Sophie and Elyse to fall in love w/ Roland

The ending is too rush. You know something went wrong there as there are many unfinished story. Maiden of pain, winterwolf race, cat people, antis becoming king, and so on. Don't know if author suddenly cast a fail s**en to magic spell and got s**en to his head. Suddenly have relationship with goddess or maybe Vivian in real life messed up author in real life that's why few years pass in game.

I like the world building and story concept thou. Good starting, plot contend but bad ending. Everything is good until chapter 777.

3/5 star. Minus 1 star for bad ending. Minus another star for s**en got into author's head

It is a very good novel and with incredible potential, but WTF this ending ??? The author basically dropped the story in half of it.

It was an incredible read, unfortunately I can't recommend it to anyone because it doesn't have a real ending, the author just created some ending and abandoned the story. In fact it would have been a great ending to a season or arc, I still hope the author will decide to write part two someday.

After reading a few chapters, I realized that this novel is the prequel of another Novel from this Author "Noble Emblem" with Beta as MC.

I've read Noble Emblem before I read this Novel.

I think this novel is good.

I liked the beginning. I don’t know how long the author will be able to balance on the strange main character, but I hope for a long time. ... more>>
Spoiler

I categorically disagree with how the author manages the knowledge of the main character, similar to the fantasies of a little girl from a wealthy family about the structure of the world order. Of the 500, 000 or 50, 000 (I did not understand) players... the author believes that there are no maniacs, killers, rapists, ganibals, crazy ones. Only the rational fertility of mankind, with which it helps to become stronger, so that they protect the world... Of course, all the s*um themselves would have guessed sooner or later, but it simplifies the task for many, so kindly saving them time. What a good guy, the author will certainly not allow, on the other end of the continent, or even in another city, which pyromaniac to destroy and burn out settlements, together with the inhabitants, with the help of a fireball...
