Warlock of the Magus World #1
Transmigration
What happens when a scientist from a futuristic world reincarnates in a World of Magic and Knights?
An awesome MC — that’s what happens!
A scientist’s goal is to explore the secrets of the universe, and this is exactly what Leylin sets out to do when he is reincarnated. Dark, cold and calculating, he makes use of all his resources as he sets off on his adventures to meet his goal.
Face? Who needs that… Hmmm… that guy seems too powerful for me to take on now… I better keep a low profile for now.
You want me to help you? Sure… but what benefit can I get out of it? Nothing? Bye.
Hmmm… that guy looks like he might cause me problems in the future. Should I let him off for now and let him grow into someone that can threaten me….. Nahhh. *kill*

*Weng!* *Bang!* *Huala!* *Chi Chi!*
This shit inexplicably starts every 3rd paragraph. Is it supposed to be the sounds 'magic' makes? Over a thousand pages in and I still have no idea...
Although she was only 15 years of age, but she her body was already developed and voluptuous, in addition to her watery big eyes, was a huge draw to the lecherous Leylin.
Leylin(the mc) is a man in his 30s, and the typos are not mine. Spoiler: he violently hate-fucks her a couple hundred pages later.
Alric was still not satisfied, and kept repeatedly inserting his immense spiritual force into the spell.
Sometimes unintentionally funny though.
If you fed a machine learning algorithm nothing but bad DragonBallZ fan fiction, and Harry Potter erotica of questionable morality(if not legality), you might end up with something close to this masterpiece.
Litrpg at its most embarrassing. DNF

gave-up-on
October 6, 2017To be honest I couldn't stand this novel because of two reasons:
- First, the MC himself, he represents the saying "Me or no body else!".
- Second, the rhythm of the story is so boring and slow, I've read 54 chapters and I couldn't get anything from it except the ugly characteristics of the MC.
This novel reminds me of Against the Gods, although at the beginning I was very excited to read it, but when I advanced through it, the excitement faded away.

Refreshing take on "op" character. He is smart and doesn't care about anyone but himself, which is totally logical given that he has to survive. The writing is ok, i have a few problems with the author but overall - its ok.
Quite enjoyable, recommended.

Second read-through rating: 1.5 stars
It’s difficult to explain all the ways this novel is terrible, so I won’t. The absolute most unfortunate thing is that there is a really interesting story underneath all of the terrible writing.

Awful. Dunno why I even bother looking at Asian novels like this anymore. They're all utter garbage with some of the worst characters I've ever seen.
February 9, 2021
I stopped relatively early on in the series because the book seemed aimless and the main character was completely bland.
The one star rating reflects the fact that I disliked the book.
Characters:
This book revolves around the main character. The main character is boring and generic. He is never able to display any outstanding characteristics, because every problem is solved by deus ex machina. He has a super computer implanted in his brain, which is able to solve any problem that he comes across. It makes him automatically a better fighter with faster growth and instantaneous learning etc. Every problem he comes up against is solved because of some random occurrence. Feeling weak? The chip has detected a method to get stronger repressed inside your hosts memories. Getting strong too slowly? By eating random poisonous garbage on the side of the road, the chip can analyze it and somehow use mundane fruits to speed up your cultivation. Also, eating mysteriously herbs is somehow a legitimate way to stay alive. Basically, the main character is faceless because he never shows any kind of smartness or any other good characteristic, because things wind up on a platter.
World:
The world is also atrocious, which contributes to the deus ex machina. There seems to be no foreshadowing for many of the things that we are told about, meaning that we randomly hear things whenever it would be relevant to hear them for the plot. This makes the entire story feel cheap and pointless, because occurrences seem completely random. Was the author having a bad day? Then let me introduce some new nonsense to screw with the main character. The random, aimless world building means that you never feel a deep connection to the story.
Story:
Just read what I said previously. It seems very random and aimless, which personally turns me off. I understand that there’s some shallow motivation to get stronger and survive, but frankly the main character is incredibly reactionary, so I’m just reading a saga about somebody getting swatted around by the universe. Sure, he determines the direction he drifts, but the story isn’t clearly under control or clearly heading somewhere.

Warlock of the Magus World (all volumes)
Wen Chao Gong
Warlock of the Magus World is a translated Chinese novel(s)
Leylin, a scientists on a futuristic earth, is killed and sent to a new world along with his AI chip. The AI chip allows him to storm through the new world as a warlock, processing information, simulating battles, and increasing his survivability. After starting off as a low key apprentice, Leylin grows by purifying his bloodline. With little help from academy professors, he hunts for bloodline treasures outside school grounds, often falling into danger. Moving from the academy, to his warlock tribe, to other worlds, he continues his search for eternal life after dying on earth.
The Warlock of the Magus World is a grounded story with well placed “reboots” and character interactions. The volume begins with Leylin being one of the weakest characters, and higher beings out of his reach. However, as leylin grows the characters with weak status are still interacted with and not shoved aside, but used to show his progress from where he started multiple times. This ties well with the “reboots” found in the story. Often books, movies, and other media will continue to power up heroes until their impact is lost. In Warlock of the Magus World, to seek more power Leylin would start over in a new world as a child, build his way up, then merge the old and new “him”. While doing so lengthened the story, it also compared an immensely powerful character to one in its weakest form. This grounds the story, and prevented it from cycling into an over powered cycle.
(Note that: The original story was written in volumes with different chapters, each being shorter than what would be considered a typical novel in the U.S, resulting in more of them. )

[SPOILER ALERT] -spoiler refer to the entirety of the series rather than just this single book.
Now where to begin. I have read many books in my life that revolve around fantasy. My favorites being
Eragon series
Inkheart series
Ranger's Apprentice series
(#1 right now) Birth of The Demonic Sword
This book however absolutely takes second place (the aforementioned, 'Birth of The Demonic Sword' taking first though it is currently still being worked on. Its a similar based story based on Magi and transmigration, but its done in a more western style rather than Chinese.) The AI had me skeptical when I first read the book. It seemed like it would be a bit to sci-fi for my tastes, but it is incorporated beautifully. Our main protagonist tends to side on the neutral evil side of things and his story is one of constantly overcoming challenges in the most clever ways possible and obtaining power. I must say this book absolutely 110% has an annoyingly bad ending. The author seems to take a great many things in the final chapters that are either a direct reflection or similar to the world and lore of d&d. Even the archdemons of Baatoor are the exact same. The author does put their unique spin on things and honestly the rest of the story was so enjoyable I personally can overlook this and say it deserves a 5 star rating.
It is well written, it is absolutely a power fantasy, and it is damn good. If you are a huge fan of fantasy in general, this is the series for you.

Interesting Worldbuilding and plot, a person from a futuristic world is reborn in a magical world having a supercomputer embedded in his soul.
The review is for all the 1200 chapters. This is only the third fan translated novel I have read, from Chinese to English. Been binge reading them since I discovered the new world of translated Japanese/Korean/Chinese light novels
This didn’t feel like a light novel with its in-depth world-building and magic system but when you look at the standard of wordsmith it felt mediocre at best, maybe the blame goes towards the translator.
At for the plotting and storytelling itself, sometimes it felt weak, the settings overpowering the main character, while others times I was amazed by their unique feel. It had many stretches of boring and repetitive arcs along with some very fun and entertaining ones. I feel the true worth of the work might have been lost in translation.

Litrpg with importance given to the mage aspect.

I've read upto chapter 400.
The first arc is so boring and uneventful. He kept a low profile and avoided conflicts. But a novel without a conflict is more like an author's fantasy!
There are wars but it's got nothing to do with the mc!
So the author went with 'his superior tasked him to get involved'. So everything felt forced.
In the next arc, again, something happened and he's forced to participate.
But this time, he doesn't want to act personally so he gave a couple of people inheritances so they'd become a hero in that war. So what's his role? A bystander! The mc is nothing but a bystander! And he somehow reaps the benefits in the end!
About the mc's brain? He's definitely not a scientist. And all the calculations and work were done by his chip.
And this mc feels like a robot. He's just a robot who sometimes have sex with RANDOM pretty girls. Yeah. A 30 yro man who transmigrated fvcked 15 yr old girls! This thing is too uncomfortable to read!
This mc is an asshole! I tell you. I like selfish mc and mc who avoids unnecessary conflicts but this mc right here is nothing but an asshole.
He plays with people's feelings when he's bored! In that third arc where he acted like a good teacher, this student really respected him, but in the end, he killed him! And there's a pitiful lil boy whom he humiliated!
Urgh. I hate this mc so much. He plays around with random girls while also saying that he can control his desire. Like dude? Are you serious? He fvcks girls for revenge, for stress reliever, and sometimes for fun. He admitted that he enjoy this pleasure but he knows how to 'CONTROL'!
control? Ya fvcked those 15 yro young girls while knowing that you're an old man inside a youngster's body! How does that sound in control to you?!
Also, this dude is selfish and would only act for benefits. I think this trait is good if written well. But no! He's nothing but a hateful and bland character to me!
And he somehow wants to pursue the truth! Wants to attain immortality! This is caused by him being a scientist who wants to pursue the truth. But somehow he didn't attempt to find out the reason why his AI chip merged with his soul.
Calculative and scheming? Huh! These were all done by his chip!
Conflicts? Nah! This is an author's fantasy! Where he'd get everything he needed without effort!
And the side characters? They have so much potential but the author didn't give them time to develop. Coz again, this is an author's fantasy so the focus is always on him, who just watches the show!
Also are ya irritated with this (!)? Welp, be prepared coz the author uses that a lot!

So many problems i don't even know where to start:
- all female characters are 14 years old that " developed early" (hate myself for even reporting this), they are either good (completely subservient) or bad (raging psychopaths).
- the feeling is that this book collects the worst elements of donghuas and manhuas one can find such as people having cringe dialogues and the progress being the same old baseless shit
-"The MC is a scientist and his knowledge of AI allows him to grow" in the description of the book on amazon is a bold faced lie. Mf simply has an assistant that gives him enough of an advantage to justify him being better than his peers despite showing not even the barest trace of his scientist background
- the MC goes from using 12 yo as expendables to saying that he regrets not helping other (he will do it again in a heartbeat). If you wanna make him a ruthless bastard, give him a reasonable backstory for it and do it all the way justifying it as a consequence of having lived his first life in a dystopian tech-world.
Probably the worst litprog fantasy I have ever read (and so far there are 240 others as comparison). If anyone actually wants a nice mash of science and magic, "Industrial strength magic" does it well.

This was my first big novel that I read, so I might be biased, but this is a really good story, chapter 1-300 you really feel like Leylin is in a new and dangerous world, afterwards he gets pretty strong(relatively) so the feeling of actual danger goes away which is sad but inevitable. The ending does feel rushed I think it could've used a good amount of post ending side stories but you take what you can get I suppose
September 10, 2021
I love the world-setting, Leylin's temperament, and the A.I Chip (True MC!) And how they interact and thrive in this enigmatic and heartless world. Though it is heavily inspired by another similar novel, 'World of Wizard', it does the ideas more justice. Highly recommended for anyone looking for badass overpowered MC and an equally formidable and daunting world to go with.
November 13, 2023
This was a truly great series. It's detailed and creative. Above all the MC is smart and ruthless. He isn't a psychopath but he doesn't let anyone or anything stand in his way. You'll never see him leave an enemy alive to attack him again in the future. He also doesn't simp for chicks and allow them to manipulate him away from his path. I wish there were more books like this.

Interesting book. I learn about shadowscape concept from this book. I personally think this book has its own original concept. The protagonist is just true to his personality. Anti-hero? Villain? None of that matters.

If stories were spices, this would be flour with weevils in it.
Quite possibly one of the dullest, most pointless LNs I've had the misfortune of being subject to. Nowhere in this stream of consciousness, whose appearance is closer to that of a torrent of diarrhoea, is there any semblance of a coherent story, progression, or motivation.
Reading this represents a low point in my history and my existence is all the more mundane for having done so.

I have read around 700 chapters of this novel which is around 2-3 books I think.
Start was amazing. 4-5 stars, but longer you go in, worse it gets.
Had to drop because it's just purposeless striving at that point.
