Anyone who has read any Harry Potter fan fiction can tell you this is mediocre simply based on the compressed and abridged nature of the chapters and the strictly canonically focused plotline. Ideally with an original character you'd see a push to develop independent plotlines, the author's own stylistic strokes to the writing, and character development. None of those can be showcased in the rushed manner this writer is breezing past everything without adding much of anything at all to the story. As someone who is on fanfiction. Net as... more>> much as he is here, I can say this was a disappointment in either site because of the untapped potential of the writer. Look at the stories surrounding this. Cultivators, wuxia, and xianxia abound. I have never read a single Harry Potter fanfiction that clashes their wand waving with the cultivation of Nie Li, potion making with the pill-concocting of Meng Hao, dragons and giants against Yun Che's heavy sword. This was an author who could have done that, but he opted for rehashing what has was been done literally hundreds of thousands of times. You can guess what's going to happen next with 80%-90% accuracy if you've read the original novels. <<less

*to anybody who hates discontinued stuff.. It is discontinued as of Nov. 2016, it is hard to think it will continue*

*I feel bad seeing reviews after only reading 2 chapters !!*

This Fanfiction is one of the best HP fanfic.s that I've read, it is a bit glitchy and you may feel a plot armor ahead of you but all in all it's attracting you to continue reading, I'm sad that it's not released anymore because it is really good.. Without further talking I'll give my opinion *it may contain... more>> spoilers* :-

- first, the things you reviewers said and my opinion on these reviews:

Spoiler
    • The glitches/plot armors.

Look guys, there is plot armors and glitches, but just not that amount or places that make you complain that much because as of every Reincarnation story, he has some sort of power like remembering everything in his past life or in our case remembering everything he read and understand it and I think it's fair comparing it to other novels and don't forget that the author is Chinese. And the other thing is.. For gods sake He knows what will happen, like anybody else who read HP or at least saw the movies, so I don't get it why do you feel it's weird to prepare himself to what will happen or how he knew it is the HP world, it was so good that the author made it so no complaint can be made about it.

    • Why doesn't he change or interfere with the plot to save everybody the bother? It gets boring and you feel like you read the original HP

Well, there is a lot of points to consider here, first, the world is running around Harry and you may change how things happen when interfering so I guess he didn't get into it for this reason and because he didn't want to be bothered with the trouble as he mentioned. And things start to change while battling Tom Riddle and changes a lot after that but the author stopped at the start of the war in Siberia.

    • Why there are no defense spells?

Who told you there are no defense spells!! please read before reviewing.

    • He said that he wants his own faction, but don't do anything to make one?

I think Chinese stories tend to be long and we are still at the start, you see the MC still trying to rise his powers.

    • He is powerful from the start of his study in Hogwarts.

He trained for 5 years with the help of an official Magician, and his powers in his first year are comparable to a 3rd year only, and till before permanent transfiguration with the blood of Phoenix, he is weaker than the Harry, Ron, Hermione trio.

    • How he completed 7 yrs curriculum in just 1.5 yrs?

He was reading 20 hrs a day with 2 hrs of sleep every day without holidays, even without his powers I think it is affordable, it was strange that the author didn't exaggerate it like a lot of authors do and let him complete it in a month or to just because he have superpowers or be the ultimate magician before the start of Hogwarts.

    • Go to fanfiction net and you'll have much better novels :\

I feel sorry for you guys, I think there are some better fanfics but still, it is just a personal opinion and there are not one that has gone this direction with an oriental build so I like this novel.

    • Secondly, the author handles spells quiet well and I can see that he is a hardcore fan of HP and has done a good research on HP world before he starts writing, it is a good fanfic and I hope that someday the author can continue writing it, but I guess that's not going to happen = (

As an avid fanfiction reader, I can say this is nothing special. Like I've read so much better fan fiction than this. To the person that say that it was innovative that it portrayed Dumbledore as a villian, that's nothing new. In fact, that's one of the most common descriptions of Dumbledore in fanfic. If I saw a story like this on ffn, i'd skip it because i've read hundreds (I'm not lying) of ffs that are similar. It only seems different when you've never read fanfic before

Read 2 ch. Not much to go on, however, imo it was just that bad. The author/MC keeps referring to himself in the third person, which if you can get past that, is kinda all over the place without being clear, such as how the MC time traveled yet digressed in age, assuming had a different family some other stuff (assuming his soul took over someone's body? And he lost his during his time traveling?) and then the author attempts to be funny in a few instances which again Imo... more>> just isn't. <<less

Honestly I think this is amazing. Ya some people would think it's horrible, but honestly this is a casual read thing not for people who are looking for something extreme. The plot isn't half bad they stick to the original story pretty good and the main character isn't super OP it's over nine thousand kinda thing. But the fatal point is that it's been dropped.

It is good but there is many scene that were taken from the movie and the MC don't really impact the story line to date, so the author don't have all the credit for this note. The magic is better explained than the original and I like the MC. What I find funny in this story is that Harry Potter is a background character so far.
... more>>
Spoiler

After the room of secrets the author stop to take scene from the movie, the MC became s*upid and weak. He attack a group of black mage but he don't even have a counter for curse when he had a book on advanced black magic at year 1. He said that he want his own faction, but don't do anything to make one.

Where are the defense spell? How can a mage can live 200 years if they don't have defense spell. There is none so far, but if any mage can kill Dumbledor with a random spell, what is the point to become a powerful mage?

I've personally never read the real novels, so I started reading this without any prejudices and I can honestly say that this novel (or fan-fiction) is a very enjoyable read.

The story hasn't progressed far enough to give a proper review, but from what I've seen so far it's already made it onto my reading list. The MC (not Harry) is very reliable, he make's the correct calls in dangerous situations. Unlike the original works where-in they relied more on plot in frantic situations. This MC relies on hours of practice... more>> and research to resolve the situations (1) You might be thinking ''Didn't he just say he hasn't read the books, how does he know that they used plot armor". Well I have watched the movies.2) He might not deserve too much praise considering he's had the privilege of reading the books prior to actually being placed into the dire situations.)

All in all I'll give this novel a 4 out of 5 considering it's just walking in the foot steps of another (the author has already shown his determination not to deviate too drastically from the original work, so that may coax some of fanboys into giving it a try.) <<less

Chinese references in Harry Potter... No, just no.

Typical Arrogant Chinese MC protagonist with huge plot armor... that about summarizes this fic.

It is about a chinese who reincarnates in the Harry Potter world. Honestly, sometimes it is a bit silly, however I'm still enjoying it a lot (even though we only get around 2 chapters per week and chapters are short). It looks like the usual cultivation thing, but instead of qi/ki/etc. It is magic, so, for me, it is pretty similar to some novels, like Against the Gods, but without the harem mindset (earned some points). Start from weak and goes (I believe it will at least xD) to... more>> strong. <<less

Why was this rated so poorly? Seriously; I don't believe in rating within the first 10 chapters, simply because too much can change, but regardless, the novel so far is good and humorous... Why do people rate without even reading 10 chapters?

I really hate when a good story gets down voted by people who haven't even read it. Maybe some read it but I would bet that 90% of them haven't.

The translation is great and so is the first 2 chapters. Its a nice twist to a good story.

Yeah not very good so far to be honest. I'm OK with OP characters but this feels like the world is just bending to his will. The writing style kind of feels obnoxious to me. The author spends a lot of time trying to justify his choices and act like what is happening is realistic when it really isn't. One example from the first chapter is that the protagonist realizes he has no money.

"But how would one earn money?

Playing the stock markets of course!

The stock market! You’re joking with me!... more>> That’s what the readers must be thinking! How would a little magical high schooler be able to earn any money from the stock market? Not even his underwear would be left after!"

Then he says it would totally work out because he has future knowledge and the next chapter he's suddenly got plenty of money.

This kind of thing happens a lot. The author points out plot problems then tries to justify them but really just makes them harder to ignore by spending several paragraphs talking about them.

In another chapter the author is talking about how the MC works hard and masters the author talks about how the MC managed to learn the entire Hogwarts curriculum in 1.5 years. This is definitely hard to believe but it is a fanfiction so it's not like we're unwilling to go along with it. But then he says

"What! You’re kidding me. Some readers must think I’m purposefully giving the main character hacks. But to be honest, as the author, I, am an impartial, objective, realistic (ten thousand words omitted after this) kind of person. I believe the all seeing eyes of the various readers will also be able to see this... " <<less

Not bad I think... Even though I did not actually read the book, I did see the movies and it was all fantastic.

Sadly the author dropped it and the translators stopped midway, how very heartbreaking.

There some with no appreciation.

... more>> Oh well that's how some folks view differently, whether fans of the original story or not. Or even digest somewhat perplexed author is currying himself into this story like breaking in the 4th wall.

The story goes with MC, a chinese academic student reincarnated in the 80's or 90's on Earth then finding about the strange circumstances his having, finally noticing he's in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. To the point in the same timeline where Harry and his friends gonna attend Hogwarts first year.

Being born from Muggles with no wizarding family, he secretly rise up to become strong in his underage before attending Hogwarts. He is rigorously strong among his peers of first years but find himself still weak comparing to Dumbledore, Voldemort and Harry Potter. It's like his INT (Intelligence) point is over 1000 and MP (Magic points) 100 and Harry Potter in MP is 5000 points.

He knows too well how the danger in the wizard world really is. So he stay much in the sidelines among the original story trio but there still some small changes happening with him being part of their group. His goal is to overcome the challenges and become strong in order for him to prepare the unfolding event that gonna happen in further years, omitting the return and terror of Voldemort and the Second Wizarding War. <<less

Sooo, this is basically a HP self-insert fanfic (the author basically puts an idealized version of himself in the HP world) and not a very good one at that. Especially annoying is the fact that the author is using way too much Chinese culture in the novel - people in England don't use Chinese idioms or honorifics...

Anyways, what I'm really curious about is this: if Qidian is so worried about people making money off of their work without paying them licensing fees, why is there a Harry Potter novel published... more>> by Qidian and is J.K. Rowling getting paid for it? <<less

People don't give this novel enough credit. The idea is fresh. Xianxia aspects are in this novel but so what the fact it was incorporated to a Harry potter or European story is interesting. Honestly I would love too this done in a anime story. One piece seems like a good one.

I really liked this story in the beginning but less so as time goes on. I think it was good when it was exploring parts of the HP world not seen much or at all in the original stories but once it came in contact with the usual stomping grounds of Hogwarts it went downhill quick.

As a frequent reader of both fanfiction and Chinese novels, I seriously can't recommend this. I often find people who have misconceptions of both types of stories (and admittedly I was one of those people before) but while it's true they both have their good and bad points, I think in particular case, it's as if the story is an abomination born from every ill opinion formed of fanfiction and Chinese reincarnation novels that had ever existed. And even if you disregard the content, the writing quality is also very... more>> lacking. For me, the problem isn't the mix of western and eastern culture or an overpowered MC because I've read some amazing stories with both of these elements so I know there are cases in which that can work. However this is definitely not one of those stories. <<less

I like how the story is like, ones own desire if one was born/reborn in the Harry Potter universe.

Not the Hell-like difficulty, or godlike enemy's where the MC gets trampled every so often. I hate NTR like plots.

Spoiler

Chapter 36-37 with the desire

tells kinda what I like about the story.

I would Love the read the rest of it translated, but I don't expect it.

I was a bit curious about the Romance or lust after c47

First chapter.

"he had nearly been run over by a car when the energy within him had exploded outwards. He could only feel a large amount of the energy flow out from his body and send the extremely heavy car flying. As a result of this explosion of energy, Charles had been bedridden for an entire month.

In short, with the usage of his ability, Charles had begun to absorb in countless knowledge (Knowledge is power after all), while also studying what that supernatural energy was."

Using a spell without incantation and then... more>> studying? I may have just skimmed read a bit but the description leads you to believe he would be a mud blood. No resources of the supernatural, then his awakening at the age of 5ish, he starts to study! Good god the only thing he could study is myths and the power that bedridden him for a month! <<less
