How much you’ll enjoy 8th Circle Mage Reborn really depends on how you consume manhwa/manga. This isn’t going to be a long review. You’re here to know one thing. Is it’s worth your time? Honestly, there is a better question. "Do you have some time to waste?
So face it, most of the manhwa you’re reading is probably ongoing anyway, and you’re looking for something to fill the gap. Well, here you go. At its core, 8th Circle Mage Reborn is your standard reincarnation story. Well, technically more of a soul transfer, but that doesn’t matter. It hits all the familiar tropes you’d expect. What
...
makes it at least serviceable is the protagonist, who’s actually pretty ok. Early on, the power leveling feels cheap, but it sort of balances out later. The first antagonist is solid and helps anchor the story, but things start to unravel when the plot tries to expand into political intrigue. Instead of sticking to a straightforward fantasy revenge story, it wasnt to also have animosity between nations, conflicts between nobles and the common folk who trapped in the middle. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s workable. The final arc is ok but it never gave off last arc vibes. It's like the publisher suddenly said, “Wrap it up!” and now the story has to scramble to tie off loose ends, and it shows.
The point I am making is that its the perfect "Read and Forget" manga. In fact you might accidentally double back and read this again without knowing. I had to actively remind myself of the details just to write this review, and you can probably tell how that went.
So I won’t waste your time with a ratings breakdown.
It’s a 6/10.
Passable enough to kill some hours.
