The Sword God's Mage Dream

To be honest, this is my first time writing a book review, mainly because I feel indignant on behalf of the author. I don't understand why a book like this would receive a one-star review. It's been a long time since I've seen a harem novel that so meticulously develops the female lead's character. Crucially, while developing the female lead's personality, there's no depressing content. The overall writing style is comfortable and gentle. It might not make you laugh out loud, nor will it make you cry, but the content revolves around the heartwarming daily lives of Tianxing Sword and his companions, making it a healing work that you'll find yourself smiling as you finish reading. PS: Please forgive me! I only got 17 out of 30 on my essay, so don't say my writing is bad. I just wanted to share my opinion.

Hello readers, this is the author's self-evaluation. Firstly, regarding the protagonist, some readers have already discovered the origin of the name (I must admit this is the only name I've used an allusion to). The saying goes, "As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; as earth's nature is receptive, a gentleman should cultivate virtue and bear all things with magnanimity." My characterization of the protagonist, "Heavenly Sword," is very clear: he is a serious, diligent, and hardworking swordsman (but his dream is to become a grand mage). Just like the title of Chapter 20 of Volume 1, "You need to work very hard to look effortless," no success comes without effort, so the Heavenly Sword must constantly strive for self-improvement; furthermore...

Regarding this book, I only want to say that everything else is quite good. The only drawback is that the male protagonist's mindless, constant forbearance and harem-building makes us readers feel very uncomfortable. After a while, it becomes tiresome. Also, the first chapter is too drawn out and uneventful. I hope the author can change the male protagonist's character. After all, the majority of readers of this book are male, and those who read this kind of book are likely to enjoy the invincible protagonist genre. I also hope the author can make the male protagonist less brainless and not just all strength with almost nothing else.

I've thought a lot about various aspects of this book, and here are a few points I'd like to make: ① First, regarding the issue of Tianxingjian's fanatical fandom. Tianxingjian, as a true fan, enjoys the author's books and even spends lavishly on live streams—I've done something similar myself—but in everyday life and interactions, he never displays a fanatical attitude. He appreciates these works from a proper fan's perspective. However, for some reason, Luo Jing imagines he might do something fanatical for Elise. ② Regarding the relationship between their team, my personal guess is that the aforementioned fanatical fandom might affect Luo Jing's feelings for Tianxingjian...

Although this novel has only just begun, and many readers enjoy harem endings, we can't limit the entire story because of that! There's really no need for a harem. We already have such a wonderful character like ❤Tian-chan, and she has such a wonderful bond with the protagonist. Yet, for the sake of a harem ending, we force in other characters who wouldn't normally have any connection! And they succeed! Then ❤Tian-chan's past bond with the protagonist becomes nothing more than a joke. She's just one of the more compelling harem characters, nothing special. ❤Tian-chan's long-awaited feelings, and the many trials the protagonist has faced...

Happy New Year everyone! I just finished rescuing myself from a coding nightmare... I'm dying...

Objectively speaking, this book is really good, very good, and well worth reading; however, I didn't like it. The male lead's personality was too gentle, making me feel like I was reading a cross-dressing type, which I disliked. He's gentle only towards his own people, but he has a strong personality towards strangers. That's the male lead's perspective. Now, regarding the female lead, her character is alright, a naive and innocent young woman, nothing particularly outstanding, just average.

I've been researching these past few days (obsessed with comics), and I'll try my best to finish the side story this weekend and start the Fairy Forest arc.

Uh, I accidentally slept in until the afternoon on the holiday... Plus I was just completely engrossed in a game... So I'll have to update again tomorrow.

I've typed over a thousand words, will continue after get off work... Should post tonight.
