I'm going to warn people now that think this is a misunderstanding fantasy story.. It is not..

This is a misunderstanding war story with fantasy elements put in it..

this was rather an intricate trap of the author masking his war novel as a fantasy one..

The author has no idea how to write a fantasy novel imo.. The power levels change on a whim and healing magic is not healing magic, it's more like just accelerating healing. It's so weird that I honestly don't know why even bother put a saintess in... more>> the story if she can't even heal cut off limbs or heavy injuries..

also there is romance here, but it's a very very slow burn romance.. Even after 120 ch, there is barely any change to their relationship.. <<less

Really promising premise, ok execution. It's not a bad read, but it's not really a super engaging read either.

The premise? A man makes a glass cannon mage character (all stats are 1 except magic), locks most of the skill tree, and builds a one shot gimmick character that can't deal with occasional enemy attacks but can wipe out a boss 10x his level once a day. Then he gets transmigrated into said character, but there's no game system, this is just a real world with magic.

The execution? Misunderstanding Mage uses... more>> the OP skill "act calm while internally freaking out" to fumble through the entire plot. It's interesting because the characters act more sensibly than most, but also not sensibly at all. Like yes, finding a mage who can fight an archdemon with no training is super cool and maybe warrants immediately placing him on the hero team, but... bringing him in front of the kings of different races??? no? why did that scene happen? Why are the demons smart but s*upid enough to be tricked by someone smirking at them? the characters and plot is so close to being good that it's almost aggravating that it isn't great.

There's a couple other issues with this that aren't explained. For instance, he locked his magic skill trees in the game, but not in "not a game but reality" so it's totally unclear if he can learn more spells or not, he just kinda assumes he can't and doesn't try, which doesn't make sense when levels and experience didn't carry over meaningfully. Other worldbuilding mysteries (so far) include the different races as they are currently classic tolkein planet of hats ripoffs, how magic actually works (being an x-circle mage is solely dependent on the amount of mana you have?), and the fact that his stamina doesn't improve over time despite clearly saying that it should because it's a real world now.

Overall, it's pretty good, but nothing amazing. If you like misunderstandings, a bit of comedy, and are willing to turn off critical thinking, it's great! otherwise, maybe move on. <<less

Although this novel only has 10 chapters at the moment, the start has given me hope that this will be a good story. This novel starts off with the MC transmigrating into a game (as usual), but what really sets it off as different is its portrayal of other "extras" dying, and the MC actually feeling emotions despite other characters viewing him as composed. I'd recommend this to anyone that enjoys the misunderstanding trope. All in all, it's enjoyable so far and there have been no annoying... more>> characters. <<less

So far, I am thoroughly enjoying this story. It’s got a great mixture of comedy and adventure and the MC is a very fun character. I like how they make him OP in certain regards but the MC realizes his limitations and now has to supplement for all of his weaknesses while keeping others unaware of them.

Generic and bland. Another transmigration into a medieval swords and magic game story. The MC transmigrates into his new glass cannon mage character, so now he has to go around finding artifacts that grant permanent abilities/power-ups (for no cost besides having to touch them) in order to fill out the gaps when it comes to non-all-out magic. Of course, since he has played this game countless times before, it's only a matter of going to some random places and snatching everything up. His high magic stat allows him to effortlessly... more>> grasp anything about magic, so there's 0 challenge there too. The MC is given everything on a silver platter.

"Yet, at the same time, there were aspects that made it hard to believe he was a novice. He grasped profound theories and knowledge that took ordinary mages years to master—as if it were the most natural thing in the world."

The characters don't have any depth to them. Take a s*upidly evil noble girl from chapter 24 that wanted to cut off a store owner's leg because he wasn't afraid enough of her. She's there only to make a fool out of herself and to make the MC shine, while also making the reader feel good about it. "I can't wait till he teaches her a lesson!!!" She's nothing more than a caricature of a prideful, greedy noble. It's so cheap.

I think it's too early to judge the world-building, but so far nothing has stood out about it either. Demon bad, human/elf/dwarf good. I am not exaggerating when I say that ChatGPT could write a story with more depth and originality to it. Most of such novels at least try to insert some sort of a gimmick, but this one doesn't even have that. The rating of 4.4/5.0 is quite literally bait. <<less
