I don't think feel-good power fantasies have to rely on brainless characters. A lot of the time, if things get too brainless, I stop enjoying them. I wonder if anyone else feels the same.

No Heroine, No Romance for the Male Lead, Any Genre
Male-oriented, no female lead, no CP, no flirting, no harem. No gender swaps. Don’t recommend anything with no gender, either. I want someone who is male in both soul and body, a man through and through. I’m not interested in no-female-lead stories that are basically a land of women. And don’t give me vague stories that merely claim to have no female lead. I’ll report bad recommendations.

I love watching this! I'll update it quickly! I love watching mages where knowledge is power. There are so many classes to choose from, but really there are only two: barbarians who can't cast spells and noble mages 😄😄😄. What, you believe in gods? Sorry, believers in gods have no human rights 😄😄😄
There's definitely been a tiny bit too much nonsense, let's give it a tiny bit of time 🍉 It's really hard to rate; there's more nonsense than you can imagine. The protagonist spent 6 or 7 chapters preparing and killing a level 1 treant's materials—I would have thought it was a mini-boss, but it turned out to be just a small monster. 🍉
This is the most realistic price list I've ever seen in an online game. It's a mysterious game played globally, so prices in the early stages should be incredibly high. It's ridiculous that some online games state that the protagonist's early-game god-tier equipment can only sell for a few hundred thousand.
Very exciting! What I love most about the protagonist is that he doesn't waste time. There's no ambiguity throughout, he's not a babysitter, and he's not a simp. Everyone is the same in the eyes of the mage! (I love it!) [Image attached] A great book, author, keep writing! Keep it up! 😂😂😂 Attention! Attention! There will be some ambiguous scenes later on, so I'm leaving now.
Great! Finally, a novel where the protagonist isn't a sycophantic, shrewish, or fat cat! Finally, a novel with a logically sound story and a protagonist who isn't a complete idiot! It's just a bit short. Update soon!
It's alright. I've read 67 chapters, and the novel's current score is above average, much better than many high-scoring novels that rely on nostalgia. 👍 Seeing that over 300 chapters are heavily padded, I actually feel that the padding starts around chapter 100. If you want to continue reading, you can exit around chapter 100.
I feel this is a very good mage novel. Personally, I really like the mages' mental state; there's a sense of beauty in their pursuit of "truth," where no one can disturb them. The absence of random, unreasonable harassment made the reading experience very comfortable. Also, the descriptions of spells are quite logical, making it a refreshing change in the game-themed novel genre.
Although I am not a fan of the heroine, the plot of this book is well-written and exciting, and the character portrayal is obviously profound. It is a small flaw. After all, the introduction does not say that the heroine tricked me into killing me, so I just permanently blocked her and reported her. You don't need to read Chapter 444.
What is a mage? Is it a turret that only casts spells, or a barbarian who only wields a staff? Neither. A mage is a collection of elegance, knowledge, hard work, and all the good things in life. "Mage" is just a name we use. Our true purpose is to continuously pursue the path of progress until the very end, never giving up.
Aside from the numerous clichéd plot points at the beginning making it feel a bit weak, it gets decent after chapter 30-something. Honestly, it's not bad; finally, it's not the same old knight-to-wizard trope, and the detail of the low-cost mage using a gun is very well done.
