I remember the time when I stumbled upon this novel. I was browsing mtl websites for webnovels to read. And I stumbled upon this novel.

“Magic Card” is a niche subgenre that you won’t find unless you delve deep into Chinese mtl hell. It refers to people who use these objects called cards, cards like Pokemon or Poker cards, in a variety of different ways. These cards have special abilities, and the method these cards are manufactured vary between novel to novel.

There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made... more>> is undoubtably one of the best novels of this subgenre, and I’ve read a lot of these magic card novels. IMO, I’d place is on the high to top tier chinese novels.

The author creates incredibly interesting secondary characters and villains that stay relevant throughout the story. It’s been three months since I’ve completed the novel yet nearly all the side characters stay fresh in my mind. Not only that, but they create an even more interesting MC. Dekan has one of the rarest personality traits in protagonists: being utterly shameless. If you thought Han Xiao from The Legendary Mechanic was disgusting with his beefy ass glass cannon build and using zerg tactics, this guy is even more shameless. To sum it up in his own words, he thinks that he is the most pure and holy angel on this planet, but literally everyone else, including his friends, agrees that he’s the devil disguised due to his ‘unorthodox’ methods.

Combat isn’t your typical unga bunga smash. Fights have no rules and Dekan perfectly ab*ses this fact. His actions in combat are often downright disgusting to the point where you wonder if they should be banned in the Geneva Convention.

Chinese novels generally excel at using comedy more than other types of novels, but sometimes it can be excessive and become borderline xenophobic. Not to mention that a person’s evaluation of a novel’s comedy is subjective. Fortunately, this novel nails the comedy. Well at least for me. It made me laugh out loud. A lot.

The only shortcoming imo is that it doesn’t have many strong points. Apart from the comedy, the insane story plot twists
Spoiler

holy f*ck the moment when Dekan puls off the insane UNO reverse card with the reveal of his last name legit gave me the chills

[collapse]
, Dekan’s goofy ahh moments and the characters, other aspects pale in comparison. It’s not that they’re ‘horrible’. They’re great, but not extremely memorable.

The worldbuilding is actually pretty magnificent. In the novel, there are two worlds. The Real World where humans and other races reside in, and the Shadow World. The Shadow World has one of the best world buildings I’ve ever seen: each ‘dungeon’ has a relationship, whether direct or indirect, with each other and the story flows naturally like a timeline. However, the Real World was alright. There was an attempt but the scale was too large for such a short story and a lot of it just ends up going to waste. On top of that, the very first setting of the second part of the novel was just wasted and that timeskip felt unsatisfying.

Romance? It’s decent but nothing crazy. I do wish the author spent more time refining the relationship between Dekan and Cornelia. Their chemistry is amazing but the romance just feels forced: the duo has more like a partner in a crime relationship than a purely romantic one.

There are no young masters. No courting death. No obvious cliches (in fact, the author tries to subvert your expectations). Not a single ounce of nationalism despite it being a CN. (Well, if you’re nitpicking to the point that having a chinese transmigrator counts as nationalism then I really am speechless)

Also, the novel doesn’t have a rushed/awful ending unlike most other CN but it does have a kind of cliche ending. According to my knowledge, this wasn’t due to being axed or cancelled. But as if to compensate for this, the author has plenty of side stories after the ending.

You can really feel that amount of effort, time and love the author put into his novel. In fact, my guy spends like all his money JUST ON ILLUSTRATIONS for his book. To be that dedicated, treating the novel like its own child, is such a rarity amongst web novel authors.

Overall, this is an obscure and spectacular novel.

Welp, better get back to translating. <<less

Long time since a novel made me chuckle like this one. It is a bit repetative in it's comedy however so it's not a great binge read novel and probably better to read in parts with some gap between reading it. It's about a reincarnator in a mostly medieval fantasy world where magic cards have become main stream because their very conveniant, functional and because their the only thing you can bring into a shadow world. Shadow worlds are sort of historical events from their or other worlds that if... more>> not cleared will have a negative effect on their world.

The MC being from our world and a modern person has already found way's to exploit the present card systems and it's norm by the start of the story he is also a card maker, which results in him for the most part toying with everyone who goes against him with the cards he makes. For instance because the cards are so much main stream mages have started to neglect things like chantless casting so the MC uses a silence card which usually would only silence someone for a few seconds since the standard way for silence is to prevent using spells, mana and speaking. However since the MC knows that most mages can't do chantless magic he instead just silences their ability to speak which makes his silence apply much longer since it's more singular in it's effecft.

But pretty much far as I read it's mostly about the MC chatting and hanging out with ppl he knows, mostly girls, while faceslapping everyone that goes against him and acting more evil then the evil cultist who are trying to destroy the world. <<less

This novel is about a guy reincarnated into a world with swords and magic and... cards!

The MC is a card maker, and he's quite capable. As a reincarnator, he's cards were very innovative. I don't want to spoil but I'll just say that he's very smart in using his cards. Up to chapter 125, he's still undefeated. He can plan ahead so it's hard to outsmart him.

Fun, amusing, and good inspiration for your DnD campaigns.

Pros:

  • Good scenarios; feel free to rip-em for DnD. Reminds me a bit of My House of Horrors.
  • Funny interactions between MC's team.
  • Somewhat intelligent characters, with believable motivations.
  • Shameless, reciprocal MC.
Cons:

  • Most aspects are good, but not great.
    • Worldbuilding: adequate, but no Lord of the Mysteries.
    • Characters: fine, but no The Legend of Sun Knight.
    • Feels: amusing, but no Kidnapped Dragons.
  • So far no 'wow' moment to remember for years later.
Honestly a 4.3+, but imma give it a 5. Better finished stories abound (I've mentioned a few), but this ongoing... more>> gem deserves more attention. Which is exactly why I wrote my first review in years. Hypocritically, I wouldn't have read all these words. I have a rule: any book with a review that begins with "fun" is worth a try. Can't have enough of that xD <<less

Here's what I think of this novel until certain points - currently it's not looking good and I'm considering dropping it.

  • first 20 chapters:
    • right... interesting concept, again the theme with "devaluated MC skills but might be op" with his goblin cards (no spoiler as the novel description also contains this)
    • do we see them used?
      Spoiler

      no.

      [collapse]
    • right 2 female characters - bland, no personality.
      Spoiler

      one is "OMG I need to suck up to him to him, hihi" and the other one is "hodor. hodor? hodor!!!!"/"I have a pea for my brain but all muscles to the point of me destroying books. Right! MC fight me! Why not? Alright - be my missing brain, I'm gonna be your underling with unlimited strength"

      [collapse]
      .... just why...
    • I admit that the shadow world was interesting in the beginning but...
      Spoiler

      a school where you are killed for not knowing demon answers? Being sent to a tier 4 with MC being tier 2? Oh of course he rocks it. He has plot armor aka too OP. School can have shadow world customized to make it an arena (students not hurt) but not remotely control real shadow world AND you get killed in reality if fail?... explanation for shadow worlds... none or I skipped it.

      [collapse]
  • until chapter 38:
    • right its time to show MC is smart -
      Spoiler

      cheating with demon master - check, bullying demon student and poisoning teacher with him - check, doing other stuff with this teacher including torture, sending him to crazy doctor making him test subject,... - check, bullying music teacher/students with school broadcasting - check

      [collapse]
      - yeah that's kinda fun
    • approaching clear condition of shadow world - new antagonists
      Spoiler

      bad sect challengers wanting to kill him for some reason - ok... getting defeated by the pain reflection cards from protagonist... ok, kinda breaking common sense, maybe countered with anti-curse? no?... sigh. BUT WHAT IS THAT: "oh no you make me so sad - EMOTIONAL DAMAGE - so now reflect - opponent bleeds from mouth... does this kill him? no. Cornelimon uses "all powerful strike ah why could I not have used this from the beginning" - dead............

      [collapse]
      - yeah sorry caused me emotional damage, damn pain reflection too op dear MC... dunno if I will continue reading, maybe after visiting a shaman/buying a card to cure me of mental damage.
All in all what I like:

  • new idea: making cards, use them,...
  • high potential - see kenja no mago or solo leveling or typical OP MC novels
What I don't like:

  • Female characters no character (already mentioned above, but for people who don't appreciate my sarcastic commentary) :
    • Spoiler

      One supporter aka "kya so awesome"

      [collapse]
    • Spoiler

      Other one aka "I am strength incarnate but I'mma hang out with creepy MC and do his bidding while cosplaying Hodor from GOT"

      [collapse]
  • What/Why are shadow worlds and why can the school sometimes control them, sometimes not?
  • Ridiculous cards from MC (more ridicilous than the one in intro:
    Spoiler

    pain reflection, that is hist most common card until now not the goblin soldiers - also mental damage can be reflected; mental manipulation - you see where this is going

    [collapse]
    but not. ONCE. used normal card like "summon goblin to fight xy"
  • Original goal of MC: "I'm going to be the best card maker, make my wifu". My expectation: "Yeah card crafting!". Number of times card crafting is done:..., only once: "now female character - I've made you cards!"
  • Who is the female in the novel image? MC is male. She is holding cards... his summon?
    Spoiler

    his demon master in his head?

    [collapse]
I'm not saying you might not like it but be prepared. Well and maybe my commentary made you laugh xD

One of the best light-hearted read I've had in a long while.

I initially picked up this novel because I was looking for a western fantasy type novel and the name caught my attention. In this world, cards are only a mean to use magic. Our MC is a card maker and nothing else. Using his knowledge and cunning, he makes cards not for the sake of defeating his enemies but instead to torture them mentally.

There exist Shadow Worlds in this world. Shadow Worlds reflect the past that... more>> happened somewhere in history. They're basically instance dungeons. People can enter Shadow Worlds to roleplay and receive rewards when they successfully cleared them. Should they fail, the dangers from the past will be brought into the real world they're in.

As the story progresses, we learn that the past and the present is connected, that MC and co. Were gathered for a reason.

Current translation speed is 7/week. I'll try to add some advance chapters soon. For longer chapters, they will be split up to smaller chapters accordingly. <<less

A very comedic webnovel that’s made me chuckle very frequently. Read this if you want a more light hearted novel with great characters and amazing situations. The main character is also incredibly intelligent in a genuine way that’s not the author just saying a character is smart with no actions that prove it. Don’t expect straightforward fights like he punches one dude and the other dude punches back. Think fights where the MC tortures and manipulates the opponent breaking them down mentally until they give up. Anyways love Cornelia she’s... more>> a great character. <<less

Think of it as ISAAC but slightly less bloody and more sane. The MC is very similar in nature but the circumstance is different as Dekan lives more comfortably and is not scarred nor has PTSD from going to war like Isac

Absolutely hilarious MC, highly intelegent and competent. Other than ISAAC I think the MC reminds me of Roland from Experimental Log of The Crazy Lich. They are both smart, calculating, and shameless. Willing to use any and all method to achieve their goal and as a renicarnator they have... more>> a unique way of thinking in comparison to the common people in this world.

My only criticism for now would be that sometimes it has CN writing flavor and not in a good way like how the peanut gallery would take a bit too much time screen time with their comments about the MC be it in a good or a bad way. Honestly that give me redflag and almost made me stop reading but fortunately it doesn't happen that often especially in later chapter, and albeit the writing quality being mid, the story and characters are actually pretty good.

I cant wait for more chapter <<less

This novel deserves its rating for sure. The only downside of it is that the translator is very inconsistent, and uploads can be months at a time. Hosted Novel is usually very consistent with their upload schedules, but they have a different translator for each series, so it's a shame for a novel as good as this to suffer from inconsistencies.

The translation for this began two years ago, if the translator was consistent, this series would've been finished long ago. I'm stating this in a review as a heads up... more>> for future readers who wish to dive in, and I'm not trying to be rude to the translator, but they have stated that they were slacking off and reading other novels meanwhile rather than translating. Otherwise, the translator claims to be quite busy with life and has suffered from depression. Furthermore, the Admins in the Discord have reached out to them about it, and have stated that they wish to continue translating, but no updates have been seen since September.

All in all, amazing novel with lifelike characters with real and unique personalities unlike hundreds-- maybe thousands-- of other CN series. They each have their own stories and it shows-- the MC especially has a very unique personality that makes many people believe he's a cultist or a demon instead of a human. Plus, the romance is very cute, too. The MC and heroine can basically understand each other on a spiritual level without the need for words. <<less

This novel is an absolute gem in terms of humor. It's incredibly funny, it's been a while since I laughed so much. I couldn't recommend it more, I only wish the release rate was slightly faster, or at least that the translator would consistently keep up with the promised release rate but it appears they often end up behind, supposedly it should be 5 or so chapters a week but sometimes there are weeks without chapters. But the translation quality is very high.

Dekan, the protagonist, is hilarious in every way... more>> and he's definitely a demon through and through, except he's a demon who enjoys torturing evildoers instead of innocents. He's the very definition of a troll and can deal with people far above his rank through his disgusting cards and scheming. Being from earth (or some other similar place), he seems to have a different perspective on cards in general and due to the demonic script he uses for his cards, they tend to have even more warped effects, often devoid of common sense.

The side characters all complement him nicely and them working in tandem elevates the comedy to another level.

I heard about the romance and hope it won't be too bad, but I think it probably feels way worse in mtl compared to a proper translation. I really like the MC and the people surrounding him so I think I'll be able to tolerate even some pretty mushy romance unless it interrupts the comedy too much.

I like this novel so much that I'm tempted to read it with mtl but at the same time I think it's going to way more enjoyable to read it with a good translation. I have faith that this translator will manage to finish the 415 + 20 chapters. If it continues at the promised pace of 5 chapters a week, I suppose it'll take a year for everything to be released, so I really hope they can power through. <<less

I forgot this review of mine existed, wow

Absolutely hilarious! If I had to rate the comedy, it'd be off the charts, SSS+. Every time Dekan takes on an enemy, either enslaving or breaking their minds, his tag team with Cornelia and Croix is like a trip to hell for their foes. Dying is practically a mercy for them. And hey, the references are on point, like that "La-La-La-La-La vida sola vi-vivirás!" bit from AOT. He taunts enemies with it while dropping "dolls" from an airship, like Marley dropping titans. Tons... more>> of nods to anime and games that you'll totally dig.

Dekan's the master of psychological warfare, physically weak but a superhuman nonetheless. He's the most versatile character, giving off serious Han Xiao vibes from Legendary Mechanic. Despite being a bit "evil, " he's got a weird moral code, no harm to innocents, kids, or bystanders. Grudges? He holds onto them tighter than a kid with candy, and revenge is his game until his target's mental state is shattered.

Kudos to Dekan's intelligence, he's a transmigrator with a deep knowledge of stories. He sees clichés coming, like predicting a character's love interest after one meeting. And get this, he uses his otaku wisdom to outsmart clichés, learning to fly an airship with just a glance. His cunningness is off the charts, and shameless? His face is Minecraft bedrock thick. Scammer level? To the core goddamned.

Oh, and for some wild reason, Dekan's obsessed with creating an Idol Group and Pretty Girl Cards. And, um, he has this thing for tormenting young girls until they want to disappear.

In a nutshell, it's The Rejoice Church's Epic Travelogue on a mission to destroy the "Evil" of the world. Spoiler alert: They're more vicious than demons themselves.

P.S. Loads of illustrations! The author even shells out his own cash for those vertical paintings. That's some serious novel love right there. <<less

The plot is not that deep but very entertaining so far. Interesting power system, MC has very sinister and creative attacks and his personality carries the rest of the story. I much prefer it to novels where the MC starts off winning through devious measures, but becomes so strong that they just bodyslam every enemy instead

edit: finished the whole thing, plot gets way more interesting. I wish the last arc was as complex as the previous arcs, but it was still strong and the ending satisfied me

The theme is good, but the characters feel generic. One downside is the excessive wordiness—the author is not skilled at making sentences more concise and efficient. There are too many unnecessary words used to describe situations, making readers sigh in frustration. The author struggles with paraphrasing, as almost every sentence feels formulaic.

Given these issues, the high rating seems somewhat excessive. This novel might be more suitable for beginners who don't prioritize the author's writing skills.

the novel is pretty unique with this card system also at first I really liked the comedy in this novel, the first shadow world was quite hilarious, but its a bit repetitive in its jokes, so basically everytime some enemies appear the same stuff happens just a little different...

also I really really miss that there is basically zero focus on card making... (except when there was this 5 sentences when alice made a card...). but this is really really underwhelming

but overall the novel is worth a read, if you want... more>> some slightly sadistic main characters and this sort of chaos comedy (dont know how to name it otherwise xD) <<less

I like it, but it gets way too repetitive after a while. It's basically a Gary Stu face slapping story, with all that that entails. It's fun, but it wears on you after a while. There are certainly times when the MC comes across as being as intelligent as he and everyone else in the series seems to think he is, but there's also plenty of times when it's clear that it's not so much that he's a genius, as that everyone else is an idiot. There are also plenty... more>> of times when you're rooting for his villainous behavior, but also times when you're thinking, "God, what an a**hole."

I wish I could give this 3.5 stars, because it really doesn't deserve 4, but 3 feels a bit too harsh. <<less

Funny with OP MC. The first 2 volumes were the best.

Dropped because it started getting too boring, plus a sudden major focus on romance.

Romance: yes.

Spoiler

At the beginning they're fun teammates with great synergy. Later their other teammates keep insinuating that they're in love, which doesn't match the MC's inner monologue. Then once they get together there are constantly random moments where the MC things of the FL.

One of the best novels for me.

World building : 8.5/10

"Uniqueness" : 9/10

... more>> Main character : 9.5/10 (Incredibly cunning, cruel, smart and shameless, yet is not evil psychopath like some novels make them to be)

Very unique, interesting story with moments that make me sit on the edge of my seat. Absolutely love the MC, one of my favourites so far encompassing both cruelty, wits yet making him an actual human being thats relatable sometimes <<less

The charming point of this novel is it's game mechanic, MC, and his interaction with the world around him

MC is s*upidly hilarious. Watching how shameless he behaves is quite funny and reducing the cruel aspect of this novel.

The heroines (?) : While the red haired one is quite simple and cute, It's quite bland but the MC saves the day because he's funny

... more>> The poisonous one I liked a lot. She's a heroine, comrade, but also quite possibly an enemy

The story is idk. Its only been 72 chapter. But the plot inside the shadow world is good. The combat isn't just nonsensical slash there but he dodged that because he's fast. It's a card game so it involves a lot of strategy and that's what makes it charming. The MC isn't just a one trick pony either and is full of ideas

The villain is whatever

The bad thing (?) about this novel is that the MC sometimes forget what he's gonna do <<less

This is simply very good. I came across this gem some time ago and was enchanted. I was sad when the translation was interrupted; I tried to find MTL, but couldn't. Fortunately, it's been translated again. If you're unsure whether to read it or not, I'll give you a summary of what it's about: our protagonist ended up in this world where you can create magical cards and use them for various purposes, from combat to everyday life. At the same time, there's also that generic trope of a battle... more>> academy that trains young people to enter dungeons before they invade the real world. What sets this work apart and makes it an excellent read are the characters, especially the protagonist. He creates various card combos that end up becoming very powerful, but in other situations, they would be useless The deck the protagonist is building is based on causing pain to others, 0% lethality, 100% torture. There are scenes of this sadistic deck in action, especially the time he made demons begin to think he was more demonic than they themselves. There's also a female protagonist who follows the line of being dumb and strong, and she's hilarious too. Both protagonists are very charismatic, and that, along with the creative ways of using cards that the author always brings, makes this work really very good. <<less

Honestly, I can't tell if this novel is just decent or absolutely garbage. I'll try to use this review to process my own feelings on whether to continue reading this.

The biggest problem for me in this book is the storytelling. Or rather lack thereof. I'm in chapter 50's and there are just way too many things left 'open' in the story. I guess, or rather suppose, that it's done on purpose to create some sort of.. mystery? But the things I'm talking about are s*upid and mundane, so they end... more>> up looking like gags and are just brushed off.

There are seemingly infinite things that the author just doesn't even bother to explain. There is no background given to the world, no background to the characters, no nothing. At chapter 1 we just "spawn" in what seems like a typical setting of.. getting.. maybe?.. isekai'd into another world, and running a "card shop" there. Great. Now, what the f*ck are cards? Why do people use them? What are the instances? Can cards be used multiple times? How does one create cards? Why are some other people stronger than others? Just so many questions left unanswered.

And those are just the easy things, the basic stuff.. things every author usually just slips in to polish their worldbuilding. To showcase and introduce characters. To create plot devices and plot forwarding points. But not here..

That's not even me counting in the big things, like the what-appears-to-be-a-system that's.. sort of revealed in chapter 54? Or maybe it was just a humorous gag, I honestly can't tell. Or who is the "master" of the main character, why she able to spy on MC's thoughts and control his body at will, what is their power relationship?

I mean, I get partly why it's written this way, some of this stuff is lot more meaningful and interesting when its discovered as the story goes on. But not the crucial things! I don't know what the f*ck to think about most the stuff.

All of this is not to say that the story doesn't have it's good parts, otherwise I wouldn't be struggling whether to or not to continue reading. The main character seems relatively interesting, the world has potential, there are some decent humorous moments.. These parts are actually rather alright. I even kind of like the setting.. Well, what's being portrayed anyway.

After giving this some serious thought I'm probably dropping this. I just really dislike this way of writing a story where nothing is explained and no values for the reader is generated to be able to assess situations in the book. I get that for a comedic story it does give a lot of freedom for the execution of the story, but it just makes it kind of boring and null to read. The main character can completely decimate foes way stronger than him because of... Nothing? He just does it laughing. But sometimes a crying princess can completely stump him. It's all so imbalanced and unquantifiable. Somehow this irks me. It's probably better not be irked while reading a book you're trying to like. <<less
