  Many comments write about how much of it is copied of Warlock in the Magus World and they are right, but I personally really liked Magus and don’t mind others copying from it if they will use it to forge their own vision of the story. Often when reading a novel I find myself thinking how I would do this and that in the story if I was the MC or author, fantasizing about the what if…, and I feel this is this kind of story.
  I’m also glad I have waited until there was a number of chapters to read this novel (60), because the story start deviating from the copy around Ch.20 and going in the truly promising direction around Ch.40, and I must say that I like what I’m seeing and the direction where it is going, I’m totally bought now by it. If the start was fleshed and/or modified at the start then this story could pass as an original, the potential is there. Keep the good work and I hope you will continue writing, it would be sad to lose fun and promising read.
  My own two cents advice
  You could work some on side characters presentation and PoV’s, MC personality development, cuz antisocial, calculating and cold is badass and all but it is just so… cliché… in this kind of story. Seriously there is WinMW, Wizard World and Age of Adepts in the major league of this type of story and all feature similar type of MC, chaotic neutral or plain cold evil/sociopathic.
  My advice is to flesh him out, add quirks, internal debates, crisis of faith, bottlenecks, little awkwardness there and comedy there, try avoid plot armor and situations where the MC get impossible windfalls just cuz he is the MC, add friends and strong adversary with his own MC like luck. Everyone loves underdogs and char that stumble and overcome is easy to like, perfect MC is just boring and hard to associate with. God forbid cliché romance of first come first serve 2D most beautiful fairy of jade like skin and starry eyes, which will be soon after lost and serve as poor goal to strive to. No just no, maybe tomboy wit

  I will be honest here. There are plenty of “Magus” novels out there and personally I enjoy the majority of them.
  This novel takes a different spin on it. And with that alone makes it unique and full of potential.
  The story is kind of slow at the moment, but that is typical for Magus novels. The grammar is excellent and the style of writing is almost flawless.
  My only consern is the main character. He seems a little to reactive and flat so far. In the latest chapter we are starting to get some character development for him so l hope that will help.

  Although it does start of similar to other novel its wrong to call it a copy there are changes and these changes become more apparent as you read on i wont spoil it but if you like the premise of the wizards world or warlock ofthe mages world then that where this starts but it goes in a new derection which seems interesting recommend you read it. (Ch 42)

  Beginning is a reskin of warlock of the magus world, but changes a few things. The story is a enjoyable read and a few edits can make the story shine. As of now at chp 20, it is too early to see where this'll go.

  This dude decided that he wanted to do a story in the same general format that WMW followed. His beginning few chapters are complete shit in which he straight up copies what was already written in WMW. Though this does go through a drastic change- at around chapter 38-from a character that’s almost a carbon copy of WMW’s protagonist to someone who looks to be completely different. I’ve been really enjoying this story and while in the beginning chapters I cringed for how similar it was the author quickly changed this to a story that only shares a few similarities. The grammer needs a minor amount of work, something that a decent editor or a grammer check website could fix. His style and grammer are both perfectly readable by all but the most nitpicking readers, however it is not perfect and I would ask the author to check over his work some more for it often comes out awkward and clipped. I still think this is a solid read that I would recommend for anyone who enjoyed WMW.

  I really enjoyed Warlock of the Magus world and the wizard world, so a copy sounds great. However I feel this is copying without adding it own soul into it.  It is going through the motions of a story I already read without its own heart.
  For example, the chapters where he wakes up, takes the trip to the testing, is tested and then is chosen.  His AI chip is given a short explanation of "Where my powerup" -> "Immediately feel comfortable and use the powerup" and isn't a clearly outlined "I had this AI chip installed in my brain, and for some reason it merged with my soul in some fashion" like in the work it's copying.  The lack of heart continues from just the initial chapter.  Going through the motions, carriage attacked by animals, MC realizes animals will break through, people die he contributes.  Show up for testing, quickly tested as dark element and ASAP goes to join dark school.   Its not the speed thats the problem, its just that I can feel the author going through the motions, he already read it, I already read it, so he can just hand wave through it.
  Read the difference between the first part of the story and when the MC is experimenting with the dark rope spell. I believe this is not copied, at least from memory. When the author invents it, he wants to explain the spell and so it has heart.  Him being skilled in alchemy is a given from the previous works, so that is semi-hand waved.
  I really like the works this story is copying from, even though they are pretty much copies of each other already.   I feel like the author needed to put a twist on the story in some way to force himself to inject heart into the story.
  For example, I don't think he will. But lets imagine the author wants this guy to also have a snake bloodline like in one of the two stories it's pulling from.  He's read in the other story about purifiying them using AI and having a bloodline and warlocks and whatnot, I've read it too.    So he might kinda just go through the motions quickly.

  Has the exact same plot and abilities from "The wizard world" and "Warlock of the Mages world" with a dark attribute alchemist with-
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  an ai chip as his cheat. A sketchy and greedy dark academy he learns at, a mentor who somewhat cares for students and the same method of hiding his talent.
