Diary of a Dead Wizard死亡巫师日记

I say this world is too dangerous and doesn't make sense for a wizarding school/normal humans. You counter by saying this isn't really a school and these wizards don't care about these people because there are millions of them and other worlds as well. (BTW, this is a school no matter how you cut it. They have masters that guide them on the path of becoming a wizard. That's a school. Just because you use the word tower doesn't stop it from being a school. If I created a school to train assassins and called in the Dungeon, it wouldn't stop it from being a school)

Now you're arguing that actually, these wizards aren't that bad. They don't go out of their way to kill mortals for fun.
Have you been reading the story?
If I create an enviroment that cares so little for whether you live or die, thats no better than a person killing for fun. At least with person killing for fun, you know your enemy. When a person creates a whole system where anything can kill you, it's so much worse.

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! Did you just compare our real world to a fictional world where wizards experiment on people and call it worse?!
Who am I arguing with? You cherry pick different bad things that have happened at different times in human history and compare it to a fictional world that's literally created to be grim and darker than reality yet call it worse?!
Just use your brain for a second, everything you said about our world, do you not think the same thing would be happening in that fictional world as well? Also, I just looked it up "Countess Elizabeth Báthory" is the one accused of bathing in children's blood, but that's a MYTH. (Kinda obvious if you think about it, do you know how many children you'd have to kill and drain to fill a bathtub? Maybe you were thinking a mixture or something.)

Oh wow, humans kill other humans of different "tribes" (people of different faces). There's no way people in this fictional world would ever do that. /s Tell me one species alive that doesn't kill others that are not members of their group. I swear, people love bashing humanity, but what creature alive even cares about morality like we do?
Every evil you can think of in our world, is happening in this fictional world. Why? Because this is a fictional story in the Horror and Dark Fantasy genres.

Take your time and start reading my original comment from the start. My point of contention is not about wizards not caring for students. My issue is the logical consequence of the world MC describes and how it should lead to very few, if any, mortals.

Let me put it this way. Let's say I'm a pig farmer, I don't have to emotionally care for the pigs, but I do have to care for their well-being. Why? Because I need to raise them to the right age for slaughter so as to make my money. That means buying them food, giving them shots for health, keeping out predators, etc.
Now imagine with me there's another pig farm across the street. They don't do those things. older pigs try to kill little pigs, the farmer doesn't care. The pigs get sick - they just let nature take its course. Etc.
Wouldn't a third-party observer note that pig farm B, is a stupidly run business? That pretty soon all their pigs will die, or they will go bankrupt? Thier main product is pigs for slaughter, but they are not doing the correct things to prepare as many pigs for slaughter as they should.

This pig farm is an analogy for the Tower, and their world in general. On the one hand, wizards created and fund a tower (school) to raise up new wizards. First and foremost, schools cost money, a lot of money. What is all that investment for? Probably to create wizards who will be good soldiers for their magical organization. (That's how all these dark wizard novels go). Yet with all that funding and time put in to training these wizards, they just let them kill each other or other. No consequences unless you catch the attention of the headmaster like MC did. Now how am I wrong for finding such a setting for a novel unrealistic?

You keep creating a requirement that's unnecessary. A wizard never has to say "Do X or I'll kill you" for it to be a wrong set-up. Imagine I get a bunch of kids off the street and have them go clean up the area around Chernobyl after the meltdown. I don't ever have to point a gun a kill them. Just by my actions, those kids will die in a couple of years, if not months. The halls of the tower is basically Chernobyl to these mortals.
Not to mention the wizards do force experiments all the time.


You: You keep talking about bad stuff in this novel. Here's a list of bad things that happen in real life.
Me: All those bad things would still happen in this novel world, and ALSO, the normal humas will have to deal with amoral wizards as well. Imagine a world with slavery, but the slavers also have magic. Such a world will not have a large population. The population of our world only skyrocketed due to technological advances (medicine and agriculture) and free markets. In an alternate world where magic rules, all that is moot, humanity will not flourish. Random roque wizards will be creating bubonic plagues every other month. Natural disasters will be everywhere because high level wizards are fighting. Etc.
Anyways, let's end this convo. This is a comment section of a review. We're just taking up space at this point.
