If it weren't for the protagonist's halo, this useless protagonist would have died long ago. He was lucky to meet Fang Yuning, lucky the old demon died, lucky he discovered the symbiotic bacteria. To be frank, he made absolutely no progress in the first eight months, and then suddenly had a huge breakthrough right before the competition.
He won't listen to advice! There are signs of a resurgence in the wizarding genre. There's a wizarding story that starts with synthesizing gems and has a feel of Grimm's dedication to researching the truth, but the protagonist is a niche botanical wizard.
To be honest, it feels like an Eastern version of the Wizarding genre. If that's the case, why not just write a Wizarding genre directly? The readership is much larger, so even if they see something under a magnifying glass or microscope, it won't feel out of place.
Please stop depicting female characters; it's both embarrassing and disgusting to watch. 🤮
If you can't write, then write less. Wan Yuning and Ling Taizhen are getting more and more disgusting, then Xuan Chan'er, and now there's this little junior sister. You can't write romance at all, so why do you keep doing this? It's too difficult to write female leads, so many authors don't even bother. Which of your books doesn't get criticized or made people feel disgusted by the female lead?
Well written! It captures the spirit of seeking truth in *The Wizarding Journey*, yet offers a different storyline. This is the best writing since *The Wizarding Journey*. Keep it up, White Heron! Don't let it have a bad ending! I look forward to a magnificent and captivating story unfolding. Go, Grimm Beast Li Mo!
This is so perfect! No one else could capture this essence of seeking truth and power through knowledge. Knowledge, wisdom, and truth are the source of all the power of the sorcerer (wizard).
Don't know
I didn't understand why the plot was so similar to The Witcher 2; I only realized it now that the book has been cancelled. 😅
Please stop harassing the author, okay? Wouldn't it be better to part ways amicably and gracefully?
You've forced the author to change their name; they've started afresh, while you're still living in the past. It's so annoying watching all the wizarding, wizarding, wizarding stuff, it never ends. I'm just here to vent. If you like it, watch it; if you don't, leave. Nobody will stop you. Let's stop torturing each other.
I hope to write about interdimensional wars.
I feel the author's best writing is about the wars and conflicts between various civilizations.
I don't understand, why do people have to get involved with women and engage in NTR (Netorare)?
The book's protagonist is designed to be unique and driven by a pursuit of truth. If the protagonist were to follow the same path as other natives, the reader would ultimately perceive him as nothing more than a lucky, talented native. Books are selective in their readers.
