Diary of a Dead Wizard死亡巫师日记

3/5
It's not that bad, but the plot is completely contradictory and full of water.

I'll start by talking about the protagonist: he's a soul transmigrated into the body of a boy named Saul. The book mentions about three times that in his past life he was a 30-year-old guy who died from overwork, but that doesn't change the plot at all. Besides, his maturity at 30 is pretty much on par with his 12-year-old peers.

The most annoying thing is that most of the time he acts in an exaggeratedly ignorant way for a guy who reads novels and is that age. He creates extremely unique things, but even with all the evidence, he doesn't realize that he's done something incredible. In addition, he's terrible with money and hasn't developed a plan for how to raise money. He's just doing the job that his mentors chose.

I don't think it's wrong for him to work for others. After all, this job guarantees him some perks. But, for his ascension, at the very least he should try to find other ways to raise money in case this job is taken away from him, and it's kind of inaccurate that a person who died from overwork wouldn't recognize that.

The worldbuilding wasn't well written: The secondary characters are limited to wizards, wizard apprentices, and common people.

Although wizard apprentices and wizards have longer lives, it's not explained how long they might live.

However, even with these differences in power, you don't see any difference between the three.

1st, they're all equally selfish and arrogant.

2nd, they all despise the MC until he shows his 'power'.

3rd, there's a minority that respects the MC, and they're put under a rose-colored filter, giving the impression that they're good people and better than the rest.

In brief: trashy with a lot of irrelevant filler.

Novelhi😢😭😭😭😭

Author trying to write dark and mysterious world story like WMW but the amount of plot armor, coincidences and last-minute rescue is not inferior to the usual Japanese senen

is the translation good? i need to purify my dao heart of a demonic scripture i have read 4 yrs ago

Honestly I found the novel kind of boring so far. It probably just isn't to my tastes, but my gripes with the novel is that Saul just feels kind of aimless. It doesn't really feel like he has any tangible goals or directions he's working towards and is essentially just getting pushed around a lot. Now granted I've only read up to 100 chapters before dropping it, so someone can confirm if this changes or if I just missed something but I can only say while I liked the concept and world its just not for me.

Better call MC.

Finally after a long time a good novel. As of now it's going good. Need to jump into MTL I guess. Hopefully it will be good at the later part of the story too
