Synopsis

Abandoned at birth in a stable, Shirone was raised by commoners. As a child, he had gifted insight and had learned how to read. After visiting the city, he finally saw the workings of magic, which he was immensely curious about. This inspired Shirone's dream of becoming a mage. However, the city was a place with a cruel and rigid social hierarchy. Here, Shirone discovered the hidden side of the world before he even reached adulthood... Will Shirone be able to achieve his dream of becoming a mage in this twisted world?

Preliminary (149/? eps)

This manga is surprisingly full and disappointingly empty. I'm giving it an 7.5 overall (or an 8), but relative to manwha of a similar production, it's a 9.

As a pure mathematician, one who quite literally researches the nature of infinity, I have to say that there are many intelligent undercurrents that stitch this manwha together. The concept of infinity in this manwha is semi-present, it gets its exposition in the latter half of the first 100 chapters but it's well done. It is shamelessly a manwha and the magic follows all of the basic/unimaginative characteristics of those generic manwha but it has, haphazardly conjoined ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (28/? eps)

I have mixed feeling on this one here are they:

World building 9/10
The world building is so unique as we see the MC exposed to the darker side of the world this is something I've never really seen done before and made me really connect with the MC though I do believe it should have affected the way he acted growing up though

Power systems 9/10
The power system is crazy good as you can clearly see the author thought about and I love how closely related swordsmanship and magic are, I also think the way magic is tested is unlike the usual crystal ball

MC 8/10
The MC ...

Preliminary (85/? eps)

This review might be contentious, depending on your personal preference and on how many stories you've read overall. Since the receptions are very good I'll focus on the glaring negative aspects, but first: The manhwa's art is very competent, the background stories of the characters are well thought out, and the world along with its magic system is intricate enough to pique interest. However, these strengths alone do not justify the ~8* rating it holds at the time of this review.

There are two major issues that make the story dull: the main character’s personality and the story progression. The protagonist could be described as an ... overpowered character meets Gary Stu (derived from the term Mary Sue, which refers to flawless female characters). For a story to work, there needs to be some kind of character flaw to wrestle with, insight to gain, and power to earn (see: the hero’s journey). Sadly, even though the setup is promising—with the MC coming from a poor commoner’s background—the story never evolves beyond that point. He can be described as angelically saccharine, a well-mannered people-pleaser with no rough edges to speak of.

This could be forgiven if the power progression were handled better, but by chapter 85, every ability is explained away by “breaking through the infinite,” giving him a seemingly endless amount of power. In name and scope it vaguely resembles the Six Eyes ability of Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen. That said, there’s a good reason the author of that series sends Gojo to prison for most of the story—because suspense doesn’t develop when you know every obstacle can be effortlessly overcome. In short, both the character and power progression feel hollow and unsatisfying.

Unfortunately, the pacing of the story isn’t much better, though this is a more minor and subjective issue. The rate at which events unfold is sluggish, and much of the content feels more like a school slice-of-life. Some antagonists do eventually appear, but they’re dealt with too easily, and the developments are far too predictable.

The only aspects that remain interesting are the portrayal of magic and a few of the side characters (The most interesting one being essentially copy pasted from Harry Potter). I imagine this story is bearable if read weekly during a commute to kill time, but it simply doesn’t hold up if you engage with it more critically. Since character development and pacing are fairly important elements, the best I can give this manhwa is a 6/10. And that’s me being generous, considering the quality of the art and the aforementioned world-building and side characters.
Depending on your needs you are better of reading a classical OP-character story like Solo Leveling or something with more character depth like Barbarian Quest.
