Sleeping_Giant

Thanks for the overview it seems at least this part came naturally as I envisioned it, a character you thought can be a self insert but no He's evil, he doesn't explain why they do, and just avoids the question entirely, similarly as how he suddenly tries to take control of every scenario Having a God complex on top of being manipulative, unforgiving, and selfish is what makes him stand out But that's also what makes everyone so enticed. His past wasn't that fully established. Just a mere event Just a piece of a puzzle which brought forth a maniacal being such as his to come in to existence

I agree... he's nowhere to be empathized with. That apart from many things is the reason why I wrote him that way I haven't given him the W as to why he needs necessary evil so much so that everybody sees him as a monster But that's how storytelling goes, he keeps the truth hidden, just like the moment he wore the mask, it was but another layer in the end

So that's why nobody gets it? I thought I put a dialogue of him being half asian. Who doesn't tolerate well done food

How Ironic I was thinking about this while writing this exact scene

I guess I shouldn't have sped the story for a little bit. The reason why Hugo lost was not only in his weakest state but it was because it was Morris. Although magicians are powerful, they tend to be weak compared to physical classes in the beginning Unfortunately this doesn't apply to Morris, since being a mage requires imagination, creativity, and understanding of the spell. A martial artist gets stronger by practicing their skills again and again or surviving a life threatening event. Magicians however only need understanding, creativity, and imagination, so if we compare him to a normal mage... it'll be like comparing a shotgun to an artillery cannon. He didn't need to rack his brain learning everything. Or even experiment what works and what doesn't Also Sage isn't the god that's being mentioned here. The Forgotten Sage is something more ancient. Even his title said so But old doesn't mean the strongest, at the end they're just lending their skills, its up to their avatars if they became strong

It was mentioned a while back that he can toggle it on and off. Mana breathers tend to gain white hair because they breathe pure mana. The build up of mana changes their features either by heightening their senses, Changing their outward appearance. And the feeling of being energized when taking mana

This is the novel where the mc breaks the fourth wall intentionally considering he's inside his novel
