This fanfiction offers a very intriguing premise with great potential. By combining the character of Andy Collins, who starts his magical journey from scratch in the Harry Potter universe, the story gives us the chance to witness how someone new to magic can evolve into a powerful wizard, with challenges and new discoveries at every step. The story is compelling because it not only focuses on the immense power of magic but also on how magic is connected to one's mind and intentions. The concept that magic is not just about spells but also about inner strength is fascinating and opens up space for deep psychological exploration. Andy, who is still learning, can teach us the importance of self-control, focus, and a deeper understanding of the magical world. The quest for immortality, rooted in magic, is a theme that always raises questions about morality, ethics, and sacrifice. Following this path gives the story depth, where Andy's major decisions will shape his fate—whether he chooses eternal life at the risk of losing something more important or accepts the limitations of life as part of its true meaning. The identity of a wizard needing to align with their responsibility is at the heart of this story, and how Andy learns to wield magic wisely, despite its vast power, delivers a strong message about maturity and morality in using strength. Overall, this fanfiction strikes a balance between adventure and introspection, with plenty of room for character and world-building in a magical universe full of mysteries. Andy's decision to embark on this journey is deeply moving, and readers will surely be eager to follow how he discovers himself as both a wizard and a person in a magical world full of challenges.

Sentence structure and vocabulary usage was poor enough to constantly pull you out of the story.

I feel like this is a great addition to the author’s collection of works. The story, characters and quality of writing are consistently good and overall interesting. The progression is relatively slow compared to other fics, but that adds to the charm of the novel as it gives you enough time to get emotionally invested into the story and allows for more time to tell a more compelling and exciting narrative. Overall, this shit is dope af.

Overall mid read slow but grammar is good and the way the story is told is great but main downside is that nothing interesting happens to the Mc since he acts acts like a observer not involving himself to the event unfolding around him while acting smug which is comparable to Chinese wuxia Mc's in short arrogant without care for consequences of his action like everyone else is beneath him.

Good read and excellent translation, can't remember any issues and there is no AI translation feeling. MC golden finder isn't too op but to my liking, not a fanboy of golden trio and also no excessive blackening of Dumbledore. In a nutshell mc studies, experiments and tries to uncover the magic and kinda to become god with it, he can raid ministry of magic and also isn't afraid of experimenting to death on death eaters but at the same time isn't an emo psycho and has a bottom line. Really like his relationship with his family and their characters. His mom makes ilegal potions and is the boss in family, father works in ministey and is ok to give and get bribes, and his little sister is getting constantly semi bullied by him and is ready to fawn other him to get some candies but they also love eachother. Highly recommend

Fue una lectura interesante, como comparan los diferentes mundo mágicos, chino en Inglaterra, lo único que no puede ser bueno en la historia es el truco del MC, en general una buena historia para pasar el rato

One of my favorites, a bit slow paced but with an interesting view on magic. The system is not overly present wich is a good point for me.

Love it! Fantastic story! Almost as good as authors other HP story. Very very clearly a Chinese translation and it comes through a lot in places but if you can roll with it then the story is worth it.

So I will break down why I dislike this story. 1.) The Chinese MC hypocritical view on gods, Chinese people claim to be atheist but in this story and most story's they always want to be a god I find it frustrating to read these two faced MCs and its frustrating to see this type of attitude as it just comes off as only I can be a god any other god but me is a fake god. 2.) The main character feels like a mild psychopath his reasons for obsession and pursuit of magic come off as petty and not very reasonable. 3.) The repeated emphasis on his lack of enthusiasm towards others and his relationships is dull and uninspiring as it gets beaten to death repeatedly and used as and excuse to often cover up for his lack of personality. 4.) MC personality- Based on his lack of motivation towards interacting with others, it just makes him seem more petty and he puts in zero effort to have any meaningful connection if he sees no immediate benefit which isn't the norm for people and the author tries to make this out to be a special trait for him but it just causes him to seem weird in my opinion. The people who claim that its normal for people to only seek out others for their own benefit are obviously not normal and I find the idea that they think it is worrying as they seem to have physiological issues. Remember I said its not the norm but not that it doesn't happen thank you. 5.) The ideas on magic have some merit and seem interesting, but this is ruined by the fact that this kid is only 1st year when he starts exploring those ideas with by the end of his 1st year only having the equivalent of 3rd year level knowledge I just find the whole idea that he comes up with all these ideas that later prove right far fetched and make it hard to me to believe. 6.) The jumps in logical reasoning for him to figure out the chamber of secrets information so easily with just partial bits of information was unnecessary as the author gave him half baked knowledge of the first book and nothing else yet he was able to piece together the whole plot of the second book in the matter of a summer with little information. I feel this was just a plot hole being filled when it was easier to just say he had half baked knowledge of all the books then pick and choose what is missing and what is available. I know this is just a fictional story and I shouldn't get to hung up on realistic interpretations but I have my preferences and opinions on what I enjoy to read and I dislike power fantasy, HP is a universe with low-magic so the whole premise of this book breaks the world view in my opinion making it a bad story. The philosopher stone is the ceiling of Alchemy in the story and the side effects are well described making the idea of becoming a god or immortal beyond that unlikely and whimsical I can see the story wanting to take the path of cultivation novel and it probably will.

MC is not very interesting, doesn't want be involved in the plot and Dumbledore's manipulation wants to obtain immortality and learn the essence of magic. Not getting involved is all right but he doesn't think other characters as people at all thinking that everything will solve itself but also changes the plot by having quirrell kicked out and the excuse given is he doesn't know the plot after the first book but when it's convenient he knows other plot points. MC is not a good person, very self absorbed , he is a jerk and he is proud of it.

Honestly the synopsis is misleading, i didn't really wanted to read the story after reading the synopsis, but read it anyway since I've read some of the authors work and liked them enough to give this one a chance, and i wasn't disappointed the story is good enough for me to add it to the library and read as it gets updated, keep up the good work author san.

Meh spoke too soon. The point system is literally just the Deus Ex of this to explain why he can cast magic he has no source of knowledge on despite having zero indication it should provide any knowledge in the first place. Guy has spent zero points on his actual base stats and wasted them all to increase his "talent" on singular branches of magic. Yet somehow the "talent" also increase his stats to make him able to use those magics. Just read a chapter where he uses Fiendfyre on the level of the Dark Lord without having added a single point to his Will. And then explains how the reason he can use it is because its all about your Will... He also whines about his lack of memory despite having a literal stat to increase it. The generic Gary Stu who knows everything and can do everything with no real explanation how he can do those things. This is made worse by the fact that his system can increase his innate abilities to explain why he is better than everyone else yet he has in 200 chapters not raised them a single F time while somehow surpassing everyone in the school with zero efforts...
