The Demon Sage

"Living Towards Death" - Roderick Death is a gift of liberation. Roderick took this as his creed, even though he was a doctor, a military medic. With just a wave of his hand, he could make dying soldiers rise again to fight, but what he gave them was not life, but final death. Foreign object: Death Glove

Do you know why this book is so bad? What does "a golden start followed by a terrible ending" mean? The beginning was very exciting and had many highlights—but what happened? You called it "Demons," and the beginning was about a cult, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the dark fantasy genre. A righteous and benevolent protagonist paired with this kind of subject matter is nauseating.

Aside from the beginning being somewhat similar, it doesn't resemble Lord of Mysteries at all. I feel both books are very good, but the detective aspect of this book is more engaging. It has a slight resemblance to the novel "Magic Detective," which I really like.

I started reading from the introduction and read the first twenty-odd chapters. The author's concept is excellent, the writing is smooth, and the plot is very well designed. The feel is somewhat familiar, like the "Mysterious" series. Looking at the timeline, it's from the same period as "Mysterious," both published in 2018, so there's definitely no issue of "borrowing."

This book could have been a masterpiece; it's far superior to the indescribable cyberpunk genre. The author shouldn't have written two books simultaneously.

Will that woman reappear? I didn't watch further; I dropped it when she threatened the protagonist with a slow-acting poison. You could say the protagonist's tragic past was caused by that woman and her gang. Haven't they taken them all down yet? A slow-burn, weak protagonist is watchable, but when they become powerful later, will they be able to wipe them all out? Anyone who's finished watching, can give me a spoiler?

Seeing the author mention their poor grades in the previous chapter, I really want to say that the author intended to use a build-up effect, but the entire beginning was depressing with no satisfying moments, and readers left. In the end, it was just self-indulgence, with the author's elaborate psychological maneuvers and the protagonist's struggle for survival amidst constant danger.

To be honest, this book was almost legendary in the beginning, but it got worse and worse as it went on. It's good that it's finished.

I'd like to say that whether a modern person who travels to the Middle Ages has superpowers is another matter, but why do you go to taverns to make money? Aren't you a modern idiot? Don't you know what the knowledge gap is?

When the plot reached Demingham's part, the author forcibly lowered the protagonist's intelligence. This isn't just a matter of the author making the writing simpler and more enjoyable at the readers' request; it's that the author gradually broke down the plot's coherence. Coherence isn't limited to light novels or dark novels; many light novels have reasonable plots.
