The book isn't bad though the story progress is rather slow, the story a bit juvenile and the book rather short. Unfortunately, the story is too linear and has too convenient events too be really good. I felt that both the threat and the solutions were too advanced for this stage of the story. The MC is too knowing, and competent all the time for my taste. He seems to have no hero's journey at all.
Sadly, the story only got interesting in the last twenty percent of the book.
While i found the plot itself just average, the intrigues were interesting. In my opinion, the high grade of exposition weakened the plot immensely, though.
Criticism and comments
There are a lot of annoying repetitions.
If the walls will crack under strong attack what difference would it make to make them higher?
The plural of magus is magi.

good story, editing needed
I really enjoyed the story overall. However, there were quite a few places where the awkward English was bad enough to make me think that it was not the Author’s first language. A couple of instances where I just had no idea what they were trying to say.
But skipping over those leaves a fun to read apocalypse redo story. In the first book, we are led to believe that he went “too far” back in time. By the end of this one, it seems like he went to exactly where he needed to be in order to actually affect the outcome of the apocalypse.
I already tried to get the 3rd book, but it is unfortunately not yet available.

Time for another knockoff of Legend of the Arch Magus, only this protag is from the fire nation (he only uses fire).
I don't know if I'm misremembering book one, or the author did some behind the scenes overhauling, but the protag seems to know more things than was let on in book one.
He wasn't a centuries old mage like the protag in Legend of the Arch Magus, so he had limited amounts of knowledge. If I remember, he is less than a hundred?
From the limitations I read in book one, things supposed to be going far different.
The start of this book was a slog also. This "oh no, a beastwave" just felt force for some reason.
Don't know if I will read the sequel.
3/5 Stars

if i ever went to a casino I'll take this mc with me, considering the amount of time he made some crazy risky thing and he just succeeded. overall everything just magically drops into his lap the plot moved super slow and just was like reading book1+ , almost same plot just a little bigger Badder monsters. politics were laughably simple and mc didn't do anything to expand world building or characters no love interests or anything else. overall book kept me interested enough to finish it but if this continues, by the next book the series going to lose steam and become mediocre.

Trying to decide
Is the book a positive (upper) ?? Is the book a negative (downer) ?? Not much verbiage between evil events when the victorious hero gets to exercise goodness in the land for a bit. Bad stuff and the constant, ever escalating, threat of even more bad stuff doesn't let up. So far no grand objective, (other than save the world) is obvious in the future. Sure defeat the evil, but those mini goals don't seem cohesivly tied together for a greater goal. Still good enough to read on...

How tastefully done
I really enjoyed the book. The characters, the story, the writing prose, it all came together to form something greater that was very well done. The only thing that could potentially make this book greater is to add more personality to the characters, but considering the nature of the story it's negligible. I like how there's care in even the smallest aspects of the story, from making mistakes to the refreshing inner monologue of the mc... It's all so tastefully done. Thank you for bringing me a book I can truly enjoy.

Magus Reborn, book two of A Progression Fantasy Adventure series, is an ebook I borrowed through Kindle Unlimited (KU). I find myself still stuck on one of the "A" names, and I have to page back to figure out which one it is, but this is one of those great books where the protagonist is thinking a few steps ahead and does his best to influence events in his favor--but it's also a challenge as some events are not happening as he remembers from the future. Smart writing and plenty of conflict to raise the tension.

Ok second book, slow and bit over explained.
I didn't mind the first book, decent for the genre. Book two really was just trying to move the plot line of the story forward. Everything felt very safe and predictable. New characters for introduced with instant backstory which seemed like plot armor. I thought it was a bit over explained with exposition whether in dialogue or internal monologuing. It's just an okay story. Not really bad, but, a bit slow and kind of forgettable.

Needs significant editing
The core story is solid, an enjoyable regression and progression for the MC.
Unfortunately the English itself is lacking, it reads like a light novel or manga that was translated by an AI algorithm and then pasted together by someone with only a basic to intermediate understanding of English. A good editor would make this an excellent book.
There’s too many errors to count, from typos to homonyms, cut-n-paste sentences missing beginning or ends.
Not to mention sentence structures and dialogue which no English speaker would ever use.

Great
Magus Reborn is a a truly engaging fantasy series. The idea of the last magus travelling back in time to prevent the world’s destruction instantly hooked me, and I loved the twist that he ends up inhabiting the body of a noble instead of being reborn as he expected. It adds an extra layer of intrigue and tension as he tries to change fate while navigating the politics of a world that doesn’t know him.

A cheap storyline built from unconnected plotpoints, thrown together for maximum impact with little care. The initial set up was boring, the Capitol visit had generic politics. The ending was contrived.

Unsatisfying
It just seemed to bog down through much of the middle. Much of the eventful pivot points were totally predictable and felt shallow.
Will continue, but it needs to pick back up.

Excellent!
I am always hesitant to read a second book in a series, especially if the first one was good, because many of them aren't as good as the first. But this book was not! If anything, I liked this one even more than the first! Great plot! Amazing mc! I loved it!

Great Stuff
Well everyone knows you can’t read a story until six hundred pages, so I’m glad for this. The main story is absolutely awesome, but IDK what’s up with the side people. It’s like the Author doesn’t understand that we live the MC when we read.

needs an editor
This book was a bit easier to read than the first in the series, but it could really use a good editor. The book is full of awkward prepositional phrases. The word choice overall is quite awkward. A good editor could add at least a star.

Very good
Truth be told. I read most of this on Royal Road, I just like the long format better. So wherever you decide to read this, do give this book a chance.
Highly recommended.

Exciting addition with a bit of deus machina, using future technology to win the great battle. The mana surgery is an interesting arc.

Love this world. It is not a simple go to the past and save the world. Things are very different and the end of the world might not be what was expected.

A great adventure
The characters and world are remarkably detailed. The magic and lore feel grounded and believable. The book was overall fun to read.
