An Academic Genius? But I Study Magic!

A child carries a thousand pieces of gold through the marketplace, while the emperor works with a golden hoe—the protagonist is definitely autistic. Add some academic genius elements; it's too fantastical. The protagonist's research methods are also very crude, showing little intelligence.

Many authors have written about using scientific methods to conduct magical research, but very few have set the scene in an urban setting. The author's writing is decent; it's a little cheesy so far, but it doesn't hinder reading. The overall plot leans towards slice-of-life, and the current highlights are the protagonist's progress in magical research and how he gradually applies his abilities…

It's quite interesting, but the plot twists feel a bit abrupt.

I've finished reading, now I'm waiting for the update. Don't abandon it! 😐

The author has been lazy and hasn't updated for a day.

Please update more! The protagonist has that Black Tower genius vibe from the Collapse Iron World. I love reading this!

It captures the essence of genius, perfectly embodying the common perception that geniuses possess a certain incomprehensible way of thinking and even a touch of mental illness. It's far more interesting than the book next door that's obsessed with pointless papers and competitions, titled "The Magicians from Different Dimensions" (I think that's the title of the new book next door).

He's truly a genius; he never takes the conventional path!

A science and engineering mindset applied to magic; a stereotypical "straight man" navigating interpersonal relationships—good reviews, really not bad.

Well written, looking forward to future updates, keep it up!
