HP: A Magical Journey by FictionOnlyReader

Any fanfictions like these? It doesnt have to be harry potter

Where tf is the harem tag

This is far better than i thought lol…if you want a harry potter fanfic then this is one if the best out there

A must read fan fic with a twist...love the 3D characters....well written and translated ...romance is terrible so if u are here for that don't too bad ....

the characters are fleshed beautifully (some of them are so good they elevate the story by themselves), the plots are mostly fresh and go out from canon (which could've been very wrong, but naw he did it easily), and the difference between the canon ends up getting to me more and more making this story a surprise and a good read... for quite some time

then Author Self-destruct Tendency (ASdT) won once again. he's hell bent on forcing a harem for MC, going so far as to repeat the same exact f#cking plot just to make it happen, and in the process f#cked the whole gig.

i don't usually hate harem, cause at the end of the day i'm only a weak fickle man who dreams of his own hare– cough i overshare there sorry. yeah, i don't usually hate harem, but this one is utterly forced, author literally doing whatever just to change MC's character, made him careless, just so a chink opens up for the plot

who knows the very character that differ from the canon IS exactly the one who hurt the story. honestly, without the addition of the rat and made this into a harem, i most probably finish this story

without the rat: 4.7~4.8 out of 5
with the rat: 2.5/5

Very high writing quality up until the harem starts, its really sad had potential to be one of the best fanfics ever stills worth reading up until that point.

This is the best HP fanfic I have read the magic system is well illustrated. The world building is spectacular it doesn’t only show Britains Hogwarts it also delves into the other systems Regions of magic etc. How normal Magician everyday Magicians would live and exist with the other races of the non mogul world etc. They Mc is kinda low key but it doesn’t feel forced to appear only when there is danger. The Mc has ambitions and goals there is direction.Overall 5/5.

One thing to note is the romance , the author took some liberties some people who don’t like romance might not like this aspect .

Anyone know anything similar I already read the other Harry Potter fanfiction

For me, the novel starts out strong and progressively slips as it goes on. A lot of people say the romance is the element which spoils the novel but I feel the bigger issue is how the author purposefully designs the MC and writing in a way that leads the reader to believe that the canon plot is merely going to be a small part of the entire novel when this ends up being not the case.

The author captures readers through the detailed and immersive magic system and supports this by having the MC possess grand ambitions of being the greatest wizard of all time. Although the canon plot is put on the backfoot it still gets adequate notice as we are kept informed of what is going on either by the MC himself or another characters POV. This works for quite some time until the author, for some reason, decides to do a complete 180 and starts writing predominantly about the actions of You-Know-Who and his lackeys. If this was all it would have still been fine. The problem here is that the magic system which readers have come to love is completely thrown out the window and isn't even explored once in nearly 150-200 chapters (a sizeable part of the novel). During these chapters the author drags out killing Voldemort by including filler upon filler of death eater nonsense that has no use being in the novel at all. In the author's note, even the author admits to having issues with pacing as well as including things that simply weren't necessary.

All in all, the problem here is that the author betrays the readers expectations as we never get to see Quinn's future as the greatest wizard or if he even reaches that level which is quite frankly a huge disappointment considering the expectations I had. In the author's defense, they did say they are going to write an epilogue volume which hopefully will tackle this issue.

Although there are other problems with the novel such as the romance or the these issues to me were much lesser problems compared to this, although other readers may disagree on this.

Now, despite being full of critiques I would be lying if I were to say I didn't enjoy the novel. I found the first half vastly more enjoyable than the second but even then the second half was still better than other novels I've previously tried to read. If the novel had started with a plot-centred approach from the beginning I doubt i would've taken issue with it like I have.

To sum everything up, I would give the novel a 7/10 and would describe it as safely above average. If you are considering reading it I would encourage you to go ahead as it is a novel that is enjoyable despite its flaws.

This turned out longer than I intended.

This novel is a true masterpiece. The world building, character development, story all are very thoughtful. It's like one of those stories that once you start reading you won't be able to stop. I am not saying that it is perfect, but that is what most readers want , something in the novel you can love and something you hate, it's what bonds a novel and a reader.
