Disclaimer: Its been months since I read this but I have read it twice and it is one of my favorites. Im also a bit biased giving it a perfect score from memory. The premise is essentially that someone near the peak of sorcery awakes his memories in a modern dungeondelving type world and goes about using those powers to grow powerful and defend the world. What I love about it honestly is that it does magic right. It has intricacies and the main battleforce of someone with power is in their base and preparations. In the beginning its more about supporting magics but theres still a lot that can be done. Personally Id categorize this under overpowered MC but theres definitely growth. It even goes through a Xianxiaesque growth cycle of ascending to semigodhood which is one of my favorite endings. Also personally my main focus for any magic series should be on creating interesting magics. Magic devices magic forces magic towers. Honestly why go about creating a bunch of fireballs if you can create an army or a business empire? It portrays magic as having proper complexities and intricacies and not just being I want fire to ball so fire balls. The love interest is great too in her own unique way. Shes sufficiently strong on her own from what my poor memory recalls. She continues to grow and invest in herself and I think thats great. At least its better than love interests that constantly get threatened or create emotional drama like in other stories. Hmm I need to talk more but my memory is bad.. The art is good and theres a lot of side characters with their own unique stories as well. The main character doesnt just plow over them but theyre allowed to shine in their own ways even if only briefly. A lot of times they do serve as foils to show the main characters strength but other times they deal with differences in morality and have proper confrontations. I cant recall any scenes where I thought Wow the author really just wanted to have this scene so he made some unrealistic events happen like the main character not using their abilities. The side characters pull their weight in fights which is kinda required in series where theres a threat to the entire world. Honestly I feel like my review cant do it justice. Maybe eventually Ill read it a third time just to give it a better one. Looking at it its only 143 chapters. Its long enough to have good content and growth but short enough it doesnt repeat or get drawn out endlessly. I think thats what a series really should do. Get to the point show some growth have some nice fights and move on. Its definitely worth some love.
