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…

This novel started really well, with the plot being interesting while also having the story being well written with a good pace. I liked the harem as well because at least they had their story developed in a kind of way. But after some time, the novel started becoming crap. The author started focusing on the hypocrisy of c0mm%n¹sm being the ultimate savior of the world, that they're better than the nobles, while living in a fairy tale world with ponies that all government officials call each other "comrades", while in reality they were doing the same as the nobles in the game with the strong oppressing the weak with their money, power and connections (there a lot of people with money, power and territory using their connections to strike someone, but in his eyes they were different from the nobles). But the author tried to hide it by saying that they were doing justice while being inclusive with the bullied, but does not care if there propaganda killed a million people and thousands of elves latter. The novel could have being so much better if the author didn't include politics in a video game, but well... The other disappointing thing is that the author included some characters but destroyed them latter with the silliest reasons. This is just an author that got bored from his novel and destroyed everything just so he doesn't have to write anymore.

Honestly, I really enjoy this novel, and will probably finish it. It has amazing world building and the plot isn't too fast or too slow, interesting enough to keep me going.

On that note however, I have a few problems. The info dumps every other chapter or so are a bit annoying, they describe everything related to the situation, usually taking up 3 - 5 paragraphs or more. And this happens every other chapter on average. There are definitely better ways to go about plot and worldbuilding.

Secondly, the main character gets r*ped on chapter 741 by someone who he considered "just a friend" and barely had any emotional reaction to it. (Female character in real world got him blackout drunk then r*ped him) This annoys me quite a bit, especially when he becomes a die-hard nemesis of the progenitor vampire just because he servant killed a human. This is another point that annoys me, the main character is righteous, not overly so but he'll help people if he can. The progenitor vampire identified as "lawful good" after cleansing being hung on a wall in the Netherworld. Yet despite all this, and even a Goddess vouching for the vampire that she hasn't killed anyone in over a century, he still wants her dead. Goes completely against his character.

[collapse]

Next, the author has a bad habit of tossing away old characters. For example, they spent ~10 chapters talking about pet contracting and how mages can only contract one pet in their lifetime, even if said pet dies. Despite all this hype, and despite the main character contracting
Spoiler

an animal that had a (divine) nametag (no one else has this btw)

[collapse]
the pet is forgotten in less than 20 chapters. There was nothing done with the pet besides some off-hand remarks. Furthermore, this is just my opinion but I really dislike how the main character disassociated with all his friends that he considered blood brothers for no reason. They randomly became really distant and stopped having much impact on the story.

Final note is that there is way too much s*x mentioned in this novel. I don't mind it too much, but it's the same as the plot dumping issue. Every chapter or so the author will throw in a one liner saying "Roland had s*x with x". Every chapter. Very repetitive.

Edit: I have to admit, I saw a lot of people complaining that it was rushed. I have to disagree. "Rushed" is too light of a term for what happened. The pace turned from a jog to a bullet train going over 300 miles per hour before abruptly stopping. They finally introduced the overarching plot at around chapter 750, barely got it started, then they ended the novel on chapter 800. Also, quite frankly I despise the way they left Night Tide Sands, even if I dislike her character quite a bit, it's annoying when they

throw in a random "that girl you had s*x with once is now pregnant" despite the main character seemingly have no feelings for her.

[collapse]

Overall, it's a decent novel. However a few points make me rate this novel only mediocre. Upon reading the ending of this novel, I'm going to have to give it two stars, that was immensely dissapointing. <<less

Probably one of my favourite Chinese novels even though it has a lot of flaws. I originally rated it at 4 stars when I hadnt read many chinese novels yet but I have reread it once already and might do so again in the future because I really enjoy MC exploring the magic system so I decided to bump it up to 5 stars because of its reread value.

So first up the Main selling point for me is the magic system. We spend so much time with MC trying... more>> to figure out how magic works and it somehow doesn't get old and keeps being exciting. The system is also completly different to what most other novels do. There also isn't much of a " (game) system" that you even find in novels not taking place in a game these days.

The interaction of the people with players is also really interesting and seems pretty realistic (at least to s*upid me). I also loved the interactions between players but I disliked the chat messages that would sometimes appear.

Usually in these novels MC either hides his powers or is constantly clashing with stronger and stronger opponents that he somehow managed to offend but there is none of that here which is great because it always feels so forced when it happens.

The time spend on things happening outside the game is also really interesting and I wish there was more of that but I get that it's hard to keep finding interesting things to talk about when the Main Focus is the game.

Unfortunately the author just seems to forget about certain Story threads as the story moves on.

Spoiler

for example MC gets a familiar which is supposed to be a life long companion for every mage. And after that not a single mage including MC ever mentions his familiar again after a few chapters

[collapse]

Obligatory Chinese are the best race at least no explicit racism towards japan etc...

Also the ending feels like the author got sick of writing and just wanted to finish it quickly and the romance is just super awkward.
Spoiler

i really liked reading about the queen and roland and night tide sands is also quiet cute. The mage apprentice and the princess are fine but I could have lived without them. But whats wrong with the godesses? They all come out of nowhere and leave everything behind for him. Especially sophie? He tried to kill her best friend multiple times and she leaves her alone to be with him?

The biggest disappointment regarding this novel is abandonment of reality. Can a person be so f*ckIN' DENSE in reality when he is a f*ckIN' SMARTASS and has SKYHIGH EQ?

So found this after having a look at the older novel by the same author. This story is the prologue to the authors previous work Noble Emblem. Liked it a lot when I started reading it though sadly like most of these stories Noble Emblem dropped in quality over time. Still I must say I am surprised that with Noble Emblem being axed and left unfinished, I have no idea how the author could start writting a prologue story after the first one got axed. But anyhow, this story is about a chinese middle class guy who get's ahold of a virtual reality gaming machine that was just released by a chinese company famous for making poor knock-offs of other better gaming studious games but somehow they made a virtual reality mmorpg set in a DnD world. It's heavily and often mentioned and pointed out that something is amiss with this and if you've read Noble Emblem you'd know what it is fairly early on. HEAVY HEAVY spoilers on the world settings.
Spoiler

In short what people in the story believe to be a virtual reality is in fact a real world, their souls are being projected into this other world in which the goddess of life are giving them living puppets pretty much to move around in, this makes them undying in the way that every time they die they just revert into their soul form and the goddess makes a new puppet for them to inhabit. So the NPC's that the players have been running around killing are them actually killing living people. While a lot of them are portrayed as villians, the players in turn are also from my understanding stealing, raping, killing and so on everywhere in the game every day, with no repercussions since they all think it's a game and their just killing NPC's.


To make some examples fairly early on two players aim to kill a noble family who are killing children to eat their hearts and drink their bloods to stay young. Which is pretty dang evil, however to kill these nobles they in turn killed over two hundred guards hired by these nobles just so they could get at and kill the nobles. Another thing pretty much just mentioned in passing is how the martial arts ppl think the game is great since it lets them use their martial arts and kill ppl everyday to hone their skills, one even bragged to the others about how he could kill people everyday to improve his skills.
So while players or the golden sons as their called are often portrayed as the good guys and said to be neutral - good aligned they are also killing ppl willy nilly after their own whims.
Back to the world settings I don't remember it ever being explained exactly what the point of summoning players into the world and make them believe it was all a game, except the fact that multiple gods and beings with the power of gods were involved in it.
I belive it was to some degree hinted at that the forces of chaos were colluding with some gods to bring chaos and destruction to the world and by sending ppl into the world that believed it all to be a game great destruction could be brought on the world. Beta who is introduced fairly early on is the MC of Noble Emblem and while I haven't read far enough for any mention of this being done. In the game he early on had two female ghosts following him around who he eventually fell in love with and married, in game however I do believe they also followed him into our world, these two are actually, if I remember right, two gods of chaos who are also part of the forces summoning ppl to the DnD world. Noble Emblem setting is that the two of them "kills" Beta so to send him into the DnD world.
This is also the reason why the MC can eventually learn to use magic in real life. Since when a player is summoned they would have two talents, if they could pick two talents that meant they didn't have a special talent of their own. If however they have one locked talent and one they could choose this meant they had a latent talent. In the MC's case he is inherently talented with magic and since their souls are sent over to experience this other world he was actually studying real magic so when he eventually learns enough with him being greatly talented with magic he was able to use magic in our world.
On a side note the best friend of the MC and the cousin of Beta has a talent that makes him extremely charming. This power is somehow so great that by just praying at the church of light the goddess of light falls madly in love with him eventually abandoning the DnD world just to join him in our world. He also get's a dragon and a giant wolf, both of which tries to become gods so they can join him in our world since only gods can cross dimensions, wolf becomes a god but far as I remember dragon was still not a god in Noble Emblem. In short there are a lot of harems in these stories but for some reason all the girls just instantly falls in love with the male players for no reasons outside of their handsome I guess?
[collapse]

The story overall is to me and what I remember as good as Noble Emblem one point that kinda annoys me here is that I am a bit of a info geek meaning I like when the author explains abilities or when it's game likes stories that they include stuff like. Great magic manipulation

Special Talent

Greatly increases your control of creating spells and gives you +20% mp, or something. In Noble Emblem everything was given an explanation while this time the author seems to have gone with a minimalistic approach instead. For instance his two talents are never really explained outside of their names and that the names in themselves explains everything, his character stats are not even given until ch 100+ and even then their not even explained. Again this is a bit of a personal preference so not everyone will be annoyed by this.

For example

Spoiler

In the story the MC's stats are explained as being

Growth Stats

constitution - 5

agility - 5

intelligence - 10

resistance - 6

charm - 5

So with this my guess is that at each lvl up they get these stats added however later on the MC's intelligence is said to be 14.5 at lvl 9 while his paladin buddy at lvl 5 has 16 charm. Which has gotten me confused since it's never really explained in detail. Again my guess here is that every lvl up they get 0.5 stat growth that they can put into any stat. Which would make sense since 4.5 / 9 = 0.5 and in the buddies case he has a special talent that let him get 13 charm at start but then 3 / 5 = 0.6 so either the author is bad at math and just made a mistake with the buddy and should have written 15.5 charm instead. Which wouldn't surprise me since the author seems to make mistakes and forget stuff from time to time.

But yeah this is just an example of how the author has just thrown something out and then never explained how it works outside of the MC is super strong since he starts with 10 int growth stat while every other mage can only get 9 int since magic is too hard.

[collapse]

It also feels like the author since he already gave out some fairly detailed info on the world settings in Noble Emblem the author is kinda half expecting people to have read that one or it's been toned down a a lot cause of people commenting about it. Another thing is that I am finding the story overall being a bit tedious after having read around 150+ chapters. The MC is pretty so-so as well in that I feel there is nothing special about him, with that I don't mean his ordinary or that ordinary is bad it's just that the personality of the MC just feels so flat and as if there is nothing special about him. Another thing is that in the first 100+ or so chapters the story pretty much is MC goes into games, goes to mage tower and works on his spells, goes out of game, writes on forum, goes to practice martial arts, goes into game and so on. While there have been some other plots parts and some character interactions, there has been almost zero progress in any of them, and the things I previously mentioned probably made up at least 20-40 chapters worth of the 100+ chapters. Anyhow like I usually do for these stories I'll read up to around ch 200-300 before I make a final decision and if I remember edit this post some. But so far while I'll give the story a 4 for now it's more of a weak 3.5 out of 5 at best and that mostly cause I remember Noble Emblem fondly.

Edit:

So having read on to above 600 chapters the story does get a lot better in my book around ch 150-200, what is a down side however is that the more I read the more it feels like the author is almost taking for granted that readers have read his previous work Noble Emblem since a lot of the basic stuff is not explained and just glossed over as if you already know it from NE. Something of note is that the author likes to include a lot of s*x stuff however it's almost nothing compared to what I remember from NE since in that book the author would give details and elaborate on the s*x scenes. From what I remember this was one of the reasons that NE got axed because of Chinas view on s*xual content for younger people and it's accessibility.

@phucanhcr02

On the power structure.

Spoiler

In short only about 1 in a 100 people can become a professional in this world and the powers are pretty much as you wrote.

Lvl 1-4 normal

Lvl 5-9 Elite

Lvl 10-14 Master

Lvl 15-19 Legend

Lvl 20 Demigod - God

On the different lvls pretty much most people are either normal - elite, masters are fairly rare and this is when people start to see a power spike, Legends are very rare and at this rank professionals usually get some kind of special power/trait that will enable them to fight an army of professionals on their own.

Demigods and gods are a bit special on their own since the only real difference between them is wether they have a divinity or not. They are in a league of their own, though a bunch of legends can threaten them. Strength wise a demigod is usually as strong as a gods physical form but a god is able to gather faith and turn it into power, usually faith works as a power bank so they have a ton more of mp, stamina and so on, there is also the fact that gods can live for thousands upon thousands of years and in theory live on forever as long as they have followers to provide them faith. They are also able to construct their own realm/base in the divine realm and create clones/followers. There are however restrictions on them since they have become a part of the natural laws.

Demigods on the other hand has close to the same strength of a god but can't gather faith or wield all the special powers or privileges of a god they also have a much shorter livespan usually around a thousand years to a few thousands depending on their species, they are however not bound to the natural laws like the gods.

To get a divinity and become a god there are a two different ways, some gods are just naturally born from the laws and peoples faith. However once a divinity from a law is created that will be the only divinity of that law. So for instance in Mystras case she was a demigod of magic but because there was no god of magic she was able to gather the laws of magic and create a divnity of magic then after absorbing the divinity she became the goddess of magic. But now no one else that become the god of magic unless they kill Mystra and steal the divinity. In short either create a divnity from a law that doesn't have a divinity/god yet or kill a god and steal their divinity.

Thats is pretty much the power ranking, if looking at the strength then it's pretty much.

Normal is well normal, an elite can usually beat 5-10 normal professionals, a master can often beat 50-100 normal or 10+ elites.

While a legend can beat hundreds - thousands of normal/elite and depending on the type of legends no matter how many normal/elite you gather they might not be able to fight (for instance fighting a legendary dragon normal/elite professional might be paralyzed with fear and unable to do anything so it doesn't matter how many you gather) so the only way to win is to gather a bunch of masters.

When it comes to demigods and gods in their physical form anything below legends are usually not even worth mentioning since they might not be able to even hurt them you'd probably need 50-100 legends to face them, though of course some super strong legends like an MC might be able to face them.

The is a very classic vrmmorpg game esc novel. Personally out of 10 I give it like a 6.5. As you can tell from the title the MC is OP. He's not op in the tradional sense that he has unlimited mp or has legendary spells in the beginning. He is op in the sense that he is very talented as a mage in where its easier compared to other players to learn and manipulate magic. = MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD = Lets talk about... more>> what I don't like first since this will be easier. MC is annoying and pisses me off a lot since he keeps sharing his knowledge. I understand he did it at first since he wanted to help and promote mages since people were struggling, but he just keeps sharing his secrets left and right and the secrets are hella big since he is op and can customize spells basically and make them stronger. The early stuff was kind of annoying but made sense since they were kind of minor like the flying cannonball but where I'm at in the novel dude gives his op lesser fire ball spell to the red tower. Sounds simple and sh*t since its a lvl 1 spell but he only traded it for 3 lvl 3 spells. The problem is that Basically the spell can condense a fireball unlimitedly forever. It is only hindered by how much you can control and stabilize the magic you condense into the fireball so basically its op if a god uses the spell since they have great control over magic and can make the fireball as big as the sun in a sense. But no no no MC was just like here take it because I'm a ret*rd and just want lvl 3 spells. He also litteraly has so secrets since he shared them all in the game which was ret*rded to me because he is the MC. He is op because of a talent he has but he goes and post his talent on the f*cking web in game to show everybody like dude wtf its secret.

Another problem I have about the novel is that they didn't really expand on the part where the gm messed up and almost called the vr world world fragment. He said it mistakenly and then said game world but they never expanded on it after the part. There are only 560+ ch so maybe later on they will and I hope they do.

Alright another problem I have is that MC is basically able to use his powers in game to irl. Its giving me a similar vibe like MMORPG The Amight Ring but cleary different but similar. He can only use a lvl 0 spell once and get hella tired out since there are a small amount elements on earth so he really can't use the spells well. Also he can use chi when he uses a sword but has very little since he only been training for 2 years. I wish they kinda put more effort in his irl would since its so cool how he has superpowers albeit small but does have some. Its also kind of like Realms of Legend and Myth were the MC is a cultivator from another world and can use his skills in a vr game. Idk I just hope is is op like Izroth is in Realms of Legend and Myth since its cool.

People complain a lot about the s*x but to me it really didn't matter since there were not much details since MC never had s*x only the other players. He also has a op gf who loves MC so that cool. Okay some good part about the novel is that MC is smart and ruthless. MC is op but like he can still be defeated since he is a mage and if a assasin or something catches him off guard he can die. Story is ok and the game elements isn't really explained well at all your just kind of going with the flower over the players states and skills. I guess you can say MC has the MC vibe since he has a lot for fortuous encounters. All in all I gave it a 6.5 because even though I like it some parts were just s*upid to me like when gave away is op spell. Also the time moves hella fast in this compared to other novel where hundreds of chapters pass but like irl its only been like 6 months. <<less

Quite a nice story. Kept me shifting my sleep hours due to interesting plots. The fillers are few.

Spoiler

The game world from the tongue slip of an admin isn't just a game world. :D And so overall the MC's talent in game is really his own (hinting).

[collapse]

MC is nice, feels somewhat mature, can stand his ground and at the same moment isn't proactive at annoying others.

Other players are... quite mediocre, mostly only the MC and some of the members of his little guild for friends shine brightly. From 500k ppl there shoud've been more. MC isn't a lone wolf, has a group of close friends, though mostly he stays with the NPCs alone or does magic experimentations alone. What about the player-villains, there's pretty much none cause the VR gear was sold with consideration of their backgrounds (which feels really understandable if you consider the "game-world" idea and it's pioneers. P.S. also there's some karma system so-to-say and some maintenance of order for the players with a threat of getting hunted down by many strong NPCs and lawful players).

Somewhat too many girls around MC, though it's somewhat understandable (MC isn't rly handsome but his personality, power and the social standing in the game are good). He cuddles with one of those in the latest translated chapters as of now, but otherwise he has a mind of a mage where he is somewhat above the body needs and is controlling himself and his lust. It's like "you dont become a mage by the age of 30 in case you're a virg*n, but a real "mage" just doesn't feel that way and just naturally stays as virg*n if he has more interesting stuff to do". :D And other s*x motives in the story seem to be mostly cause of the world itself and the hardships to survive in that society. MC doesn't consider the NPCs as... NPCs and so he is worried about accepting love from those with whom he might not be able to stay as, say, husband for a long time (MC is doubtful about the reality of game-world but then he's just that sort of a sincere person). <<less

MC is your rare calculative and smart kind, who doesn't do things based on impulse but adheres to a certain principles of his own. At times you feel he is very passive but it's his way of saying only use strength as a last resort.

Story and world's building is fine nothing special, supporting characters are also okay. All in all a good read. <<less

A shame to rate this low, because it is written well and there really are not enough novels that focus on magic and have a smart MC. Unfortunately the MC after a few chapters transforms into a smart, handsome and tough guy who has perfect morals, loves children, is both warm- and coldhearted at the same time and just burns with righteous fury to build a communist model society. 3/5.

I loved the part that MC was genuinely interested in the magic system and instead of learning op spells he improved on already existing weak spells. Until chapter 400 or so it went well and you could say romance was nonexistent. He focused on magic, the world etc. Then it happened. Don't get me wrong I love romance but this novel took a nose dive from 4 stars to 2 stars real fast. Somehow every woman started to fall in love with him and have s*x with him. Then there was no new spells. After building the floating city, there was no creative magic stuff. Just nuking everything with atom bombs.

Then there is weird reverse r*pe happening and everybody being fine with it? She actually had his baby too and revealed at it at "Grand Finale". What a grand finale that was.

The "ending" was rushed. The author's writing style changed halfway and novel become very bad. I really don't recommend this novel unless you want just to pass time. <<less

Dropped. MEeeeeeeeeeeeeh dropped.

Another lame move of mmorpg, virtual reality future god like technology; as a façade to not be tagged as just another xuanhuan. Lame start.

Then you'll get countless amount of phrases and even PARAGRAPHS of cringe worthy/ultra edgy smooth unnecessary actions. Like putting your fingers in a glass of wine to write something when there's literally feather or other to write thingies in the study they at. Of course, very elegantly and perfect, of course. To call it pretentious is getting short.

Chinerse are goodest, kindest, beautifulest, perfectest, purest, god... more>> descendantests ever. Period.


And so the novel is full of that, when you add that it has nothing to do with gaming, and is just another The World Online, add to that- that every sneeze he has is posted in the forums that 'it' was powerful. So that's what the novel is about The Forums All Says MCage Is OP!. That's it, that's the real title, the "Mages are too OP!" is just a manner to identify the novel in english, just one of its alternatives names.


It isn't even an enjoyable read, is all about another novel of authors' wild dream of how'll be if he was the one in MC's position, cringe worthy novel- Level LORD. <<less

Story has a very strong start. The plot is interesting and not overdone, the mysteries behind the world are slowly revealed over time. For the first 700 chapters, everything flows well and is moving on a predictable path, but soon after the author very obviously decides to end the story, although at the very least he does give us a 100 chapter conclusion arc, even if rushed its still better than outright dropping the story. For the final hundred chapters, its best to merely imagine that was is happening originally... more>> would have occurred over a longer period of time and is merely condensed for the sake of saving time. Would have been a 5 star story if the ending wasn't rushed, but it still ends fairly satisfyingly

Unfortunately, it starts degrading after that, I rly think the author got rejected by a girl he simped for or something cause sexisim goes through the roof. Normally I just cringe a little but this was just too much.

The story is good but the sudden ending is pretty shitty. I reccomend this novel since it is a nice read but expect that the author didn't complete the story so he suddenly made some ending and said that the novel is complete.

It was good until it wasn't, I had a lot of fun reading this novel and while it has its flaws it wasn't anything too bad to the point of feeling like i'd rather be reading something else, the potential is there but the author couldn't fully explore it and this is the result, it's just that the ending was so terrible that it reminded me of GoT and if I could I would erase it from my memory. You know, there was a lot the author could write about... more>> instead of deciding to end the story, to the point it could've reached 2k chapters if he decided to write about all the plot lines he ignored by the end of the novel but I guess that was it, to me this novel would be a 4.2~ without that ending but now I'm not too sure if I should recommend this to anyone else. <<less

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
