its a gem. Mc is a goal focused person, so dont expect romance and so.. There are some grammatical errors but can be ignored in accordance to the good plot line. its a must read!

I like the book only issue I have is below. I reccomamd the book to those who just love a sorcerer honestly. Good read and I enjoyed my self I’m on chapter 274 —— Spoiler below He is cursed for over 200 chapters it’s growing old he is always pulled into somthing and he is beating other sorcerers with less than 10 total years of experience - I say 10 years because the curse mark has only hit twice which happens every 5 years and his already a level 2 sorcerer.

first of all, I dropped this novel at chapter 68. Ok now the story is not bad, actually kinda interesting how the system works and all, my problem is the way the story is told, i don't feel like I'm reading a novel, it feels like I'm reading update notes. From the start it is displayed to us how the author write this: skipping days (sometimes 2 days, sometimes 10 days, sometimes a month) and we get the level up messages, it got worse (for me) when he started to learn magic, because the author doesn't explain the magic system or anything... the MC just learns it and level it up like any other skill, the sword skills the MC has also are not explained, "Leveraging his agile steps, he unleashed his strongest strike, the trademark move of Bat's Eyes — 'Bat Ring Dance Stab.'" what is the "Bat Ring Dance Stab"? I'm pretty sure its a combination of 4 stabs... how are the stabs? and the footwork? does it have any aura around it? we don't know... the novel lacks character, or core, or meat for the reader to get attached to... sure I do like the events that are followed in the story... but i don't care about them at all.

I like sorcerer/mage books a lot and this one scratches that itch. Pacing is good, characters are good, world building is solid. I especially like how the system is just information of one’s self rather than a shop/quest/gacha abomination. Will be keeping up with this.

so far it's good , the pace just a lil bit slow but still good with no sudden power up, still need to practice and work for it, the mc have a gold finger like any other reborn/transmigration story his was like a panel game to level up skill but with no system. overall if you like this kind of genre, then this one can be an option to read.

Biggest issue right now: Needs major editing and grammar corrections. Needs an editor to keep up with the translator. Essentially Translation speed is very good, but lots of minor errors are left behind. Some major things at the beginning which may turn way potential readers. Pros: Overall it’s a good start. While we haven’t yet reached the level of strength and fame, MC shows in the synopsis, it’s a good start in setting up character and world building.

this has good potential I can tell English isn't your first Language but everything takes time. I'd recommend grammarly to help you find any mistakes you might make. also I'd recommend that when your English is better go over and edit any mistakes so your story can go farther and get more people to love it.

starting with world background: other land mass are mentioned not going into any details, the town where the story takes place (first 40 chp) is split into 3 parts with no active descriptions, few building names given left vaguely mentioned, confuses names of areas such as Black Pine Forest then gets turned into Black Fog Forest. Updating Stability was left at a 3 for me as a base. Characters are given very brief descriptions: MC family is a bunch of stickfigures at the best none given clothes, hair, face, eyes no sort of descriptions. Story is slow paced at one point the group wanders a forest for three to four days without any actual significance to storyline development. Often things don't add up or even are explained: Guard Captin is poisoned by a porcupine (not given any magically properties we are made aware of) even though they are hunting boars and at no point are porcupines mentioned before this instance. Which causes story derailment and overall breaking of any sort of immersion. I hope to see a rewritten version of the story however considering payment is needed by the 28th or 29th chapter which hardly has time to establish a strong tie or desire to continue the story I doubt I would come back. Best of Luck with your story. Overall it's got some fun ideas but without a rewritten or reviewed concept I can't see myself paying for the content.

Review at chapter 59. So far, I am hooked on this story. Wish I had another few hundred chapters to binge. System used is simplified compared to most stories but that actually enhances this story and keeps the focus on world building and the MC.
