Warlock of the Magus World #6
Final War
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*

May 30, 2021I'm hesitant to give it stars. The first maybe 60-70% of the entire series was good. I would recommend it based on this. Once it hit the world of gods arc, I was just waiting for it to be over. The last couple pages of the series I felt did end it, but not really satisfactory for me.
I enjoyed the fact that certain plot lines died out. It happens in reality, I feel like it makes sense that it would in a book as well. I.e., early-ish in the novel, he basically makes a base in a town, and then totally abandons it never to return. Though, if you haven't read it, there are plot relevant reasons he did this.
Overall, if you are the type of person who is happy to drop a series after the good part, do it. I am internally obligated to finish. In this case, I don't really recommend it. If you don't mind an unsatisfactory ending, maybe give it a read.

I’m just happy it’s over.
The first half shadow world arc was the highlight of the entire novel. I was hoping he would meet his dreamworld sister, that he saved after advancing into rank 5, in this world due to the similarities. Alas, it devolved into standard boring intrigue.
Many side characters that were promising and/or interesting disappeared shameless when the author no longer had a specific use for them. This novel could’ve been exceptional if some of these characters and plot lines weren’t so incoherent.
Anyway, I’m really happy to be done with this mess. It was a nice mess at times, but it was still so messy.

I read this book in Wuxiaworld.
The final attack between gods and mages, and the culmination of the world of gods clone story. There are so many ways in which the protagonist gains power this time that signals the beginning of the end.
The story it's quite crude in the way it shows the consequences of the war for the common people of the world, pulling no punches at all, showing how adaptation seems to work in a magic world. The conflict between some mages and between gods of the same laws adds a lot to the way the story develops and finally ends.
I found it quite funny that the World of Gods contain so many names taken out of the Forgotten Realms rpg setting, and also a little of Planescape to flesh out the Abyss and Baator. It added a lot of familiarity to a place that would have so many different gods that would perhaps be a little hard to remember otherwise.

As the last book to this series, finishing it was bittersweet. The final crescendo to this epic tale felt a little rushed and abrupt—I felt like there was more of the story to be told but accept it nonetheless.

an incredible achievement to make the final 200 or so chapters feel both rushed while including brand new irrelevant mortal characters/ side stories - honestly both volume 5 and 6 were pretty bad, read Reverend Insanity instead

Leylin Farlier...."The insanely reasonable man".

I liked the scientific aspect of the series. One of the only Wuxia novels that I know of that does that. I wouldn't recommend it to friends though.
