god what a shit show, i usually don't write reviews but seeing as the only other review made it sound like it is some fantastic story i felt i had to chime in here. where to even begin. Slight Spoilers ahead but nothing major

  • The story: It's generic, guy dies and is ressurected. Guy's weak and wants to get strong. He has an AI chip in his head and before he came to the magi world he was a scientist so combined with the AI chip he's really smart and he uses that to trick his opponents and research magic etc. You get the gist, it's been done 1000x already. Now the big problem is the god damn pacing because the author seem to have the attention span of a goldfish because he keeps switching the story over to some random people. Now you might think "oh but that's because they will be big characters later on" NOPE, they are literally just used to pad out the chapters. It's 1200 chapters long and if you removed these random chapters then you would end up with like 850-900 chapters instead.

 

  • Main character: Smart handsome guy with no emotions and no conscience. He betrays, tortures, robs and murders innocent like it's nothing. He started out ok and for the first 100-ish chapters he was a pretty good character, a mostly neutral character but as soon as he became a rank 1 warlock he went full psycho and started to murder and torture people and betraying anyone over the smallest profit. Even when his family get's murdered he doesn't get angry over that, no he doesn't give 2 shits about his family he just cares that someone dared kill people who were under his protection. he is just so extremely unlikable. He also has seemingly no sex drive, he gets propositioned by women many times but he's like an aspie kid that loves posting on 4chan "i would rather be home reading books that being with a woman". A thing that annoyed the crap out of me, maybe you won't mind but i sure as shit did, is that he LOVES to hide his strength/powers. He just get's off on it. At least 70% of the time he will hide his powers and pretend to be weak and it just frustrated me so god damn much. Like i said maybe you won't mind but to me it was to much, once in a while to infiltrate or something like that is ok but when you hide more than you show it's just to much.
  • Side characters: You will notice very quickly that not a single side character matters, they are all useless and will be forgotten by the story. do not get attached to a single one, not even his wife or his kids because they mean nothing to the story and will be forgotten and never shown again. I've seen sone people saying "it's subverting the normal story characters by showing them like this" just because it isn't normally done doesn't mean it's good. Eating shit ain't normal either but that doesn't mean it's good, it's just not done that way because it's fucking stupid. As i've said earlier there's a lot of these random POV characters that just keep popping up, just ignore them, you might as well just skip through their chapters.
  • World building: Now this is by far the most hilariously bad thing about the novel. you will notice instantly how every single name, place and skill is just stolen from other shit. The island/continent he's born on is called the chernobyl islands, his school partner is called Merlin, his shipmate later on is called fucking Robin Hood... It's just the most hilariously ripped of shit, i even heard he stole the whole magic lvling system, names and everything from some other story but can't remember which one.
  • Plot holes and forgotten stuff: The author ends up forgetting a lot of stuff, lots of plot points like a warlock book that he never did anything with or the magic mirror. He also forgets about characters and even major events. One hilarious example was him returning home and hes monologuing to himself "oh man i sure miss X, i hope he's doing fine" mother fucker X is dead, you were literally there when he died, you saw him die.
  • Ending: Ok slightly spoilery but it needs to be said. The ending was extremely rushed and disappointing, this shit that has been building up for 1200 chapters only takes 10+ chapters? There's literally 2-3 paragraphs worth of story about that happens after the main event happens and thats it. It is so fucking unsatisfactory, just horrible and this is right after we've just spend 50+ chapters with some randoms POV in another world and then another 10-20 chapters POV with another random person from the world the MC is in. Like why would you waste all those chapters on people that had NO IMPACT AT ALL on the story yet the whole big conflict, everything you have been building up for 1200 chapters ends just like that?


in conclusion, it's a shit story with a horrible MC, hilariously unoriginal world building, useless characters, disappointing ending and more filler than Naruto.

He doesn't need to be like an average isekai harem mc my dude, one of the points about reading this LN compared to other ones is that the MC is basically a chaotic neutral guy, he isn't some sort of virtuous hero who is helping for the sake of "justice". He also isn't like them where some guys just have sex with every woman that comes on to them, or has no sex at all, he consistently has sex with characters in the story, besides if he had sex with every woman he was propositioned by we wouldn't be reading an action novel anymore. Also, it is generally smart to hide your true strength in these stories, and he explains why it's so that people don't find out about the AI chip. But yeah valid points besides the MC portion.
