  This is a story about a totally normal demonically tethered mage, his giant snail, and his butler running a shop in the countryside. Thats basically about it so far. This story is a nice light read and plenty funny to smooth the ride. There are some errors as others have noticed having to do with tense and writing style. Personally, I've read enough novels to not really have it phase me too much. Within a couple chapters it ends up just adding to the overall tone. Unless you're a real stickler for that sort of thing, don't worry.
  Story:
  It's good. It's not what I'd call deep, but it has a fun gimmick that doesn't really get old (at least no so far). It's a pretty standard RPG/D&D overworld with a whole mess of demonic and heavenly planes mentioned once and a while. I'm sure the story still has a lot of good things left to share. A couple of good story threads have appeared and I'm excited to see where they go.
  Style/Grammar:
  Not as overly detractive as some reviews might have hinted. It feels different than a lot of other stories but after a few chapters you don't really notice it. It's quite charming at times actually. The author seems to have done a tiny bit of editing so as long as you don't comb the text, the meaning comes across nicely.
  Character:
  Good. I like snail.
  The story spends a nice bit of time telling us how the other characters view the MC--thats a good bit of the comedy I suppose. Most are either upbeat or comically evil. I enjoy Seb as a character; he seems to have a good bit more going on behind the scenes.

  As the title says, I'm having a great time reading about the misadventures Jeremy aka the Scourge gets into. His personality is just the right mix between utterly selfishly free of morals and actually not interested in causing havok to make it hilarious when powerful people keep underestimating him based on not having met him; you just know they'll end up realizing how wrong they were.
  Then you have the townfolk, who've actually felt his aura of death and basically think he's evil incarnate. They're not even that far off, but never fear, Jeremy is very good at not giving in to his murderous urges. Which makes it extremely funny when people walk on eggshells around him while he's just looking forward to tending to his dandelions.
  It's hard to describe, but I definitely recommend checking it out. You'll know if it's for you within a chapter.
  The grammar is fine by the way; this was written in a hurry initially, but has been edited by now.

  A wonderfully crafted MC who is delighted the glass of poison before him is half empty.  A true opportunist who has taken his dark situation and twisted a pool of malice into a crooked smile.  Whistling past the graveyard.  Ghosts? Skeletons? Ghouls? No problem.  They are more afraid of you than you are of them.  An overpowered dark wizard with a bit of a perspective gap.  I look forward to the reveal of the deeper nature of his assistant.  Given the authors tenancies there will be an unexpected twist.

  Style: The writing style is consise, and the witticism comes from the characters actions and dialogue rather than long descriptions.
  Grammar: Didn't catch any major mistakes. Nothing that drew me out of the tale the author was writing.
  Story: There is clearly a whole world out there, but the author uses mostly one city and the outskirts as the main hub of the story. There are some differing POV's, but they are used to enhance the story and give us an outside perspective on the main character, and his actions.
  Characters: The main character, Jeremy, is an extremely powerfull wizzard as he has unlimited power from a conduit from hell. He is also naive, and this naivety survives as not many even poses a slight threat to his pet mega snail familiar, Shelby. The snail also teaches a bunch of children magic on the side. His butler are well written and rounded along with most of the cast in the story. The humor can be a bit juvenile but over all is more like a callback to reading Terry Pratchet. The story might not be poking fun todays society as Terry did, but it is delightfull to read some witty series on this site.

  Not gonna lie, the title hooked me since I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons for close to 20 years.
  The story feels like a campaign where a player provides a lengthy background for his wizard, and then focus on side quests and gold-making schemes instead of adventuring.
  You don't get riveting action all the time, but you'll still get scenes with tension and consequences.
  It's a good story. It's mostly lighthearted stuff with dashes of absurdities, understandable misuderstandings, and a hint or two of darkness. A comedy of error kind of story.
  It's funny at times, but it doesn't try too hard to get you laughing. It has a few scenes that some may find hilarious, but most of the humor of the story relies on misunderstandings and their consequences.
  The magic system is a hodgepodge of D&D and Mage? It has the structure of D&D in casting prepared spells, but mages can also cast freeform? using the schools or spheres/elements they know/have.
  You'll see very few textboxes, and most of them are insigh*s on spells that got homebrewed by the MC.
  There's no romance as of yet. There might be for the butler, but the MC seems uninterested in relationships, like every wizard should be.
  Chapters are getting churned at 5 or more a week, so don't expect David Gemell or Jim Butcher levels of eloquence and editing.
  A few people are complaing over  tense-shfying, but it's barely noticeable.
  The MC is over-powered to a degree. He has this connection to hell that serves as an endless mana battery of sorts. There's no chaotic evil shenanigans as of yet, but lots of perceived ones.
  TLDR: Interesting premise, a few laughs, slice of lifey, an overall good read.

  It's a fun story with a good natured, naive protagonist that is a bit heartwarming? His overpowered death magic does not have him conquering the world, but instead  learning how to harvest wheat alongside a farmer one day in exchange for eliminating the locusts swarming his farm to furthering his research in developing a variant of healing potions to sell on another. He is trying to farm to make some kind of alchemical product. He also helps a noble woman with her rat problem in exchange for coin. Jeremy runs a good hustle to get more money to then use to fund his eccentric research.
  The demons bound to his soul whispering evil thoughts occasionally appear in Jeremy's internal monologue, but he just ignores them without giving a second thought (he has had training to do so). It's amusing, and his character is just a lot of fun overall.

  Powerful protagonist done well. He's not looking to destroy or save the world. He just wants to make bank and have fun doing so. "Sadly" he has a condition that makes it so that people near get quite a strong evil vibe, and he keeps making decisions that further paint him as the big bad evil. Why would you not raise a skeleton army to automate the boring parts of the crafting process? It's free labor!
  Lots of guilty pleasure can be had when evil or just annoying but always arrogant antagonists try to muscle in on his work, only to be squashed like bugs.
  The story is well written has humor and the side characters are fleshed out enough not to detract.

  One of few storys here that have truly made me laugh out many times. A wonderful twisted tale that promises and delivers on it´s premise constantly. The world, the characters and the missunderstandings are topnotch! Delving into the missunderstood mind of the MC is constantly amuzing and fresh. There is also an attention to details of the magic and world that really stands out. Bravo!

  This is probably one of the best renderings of a chain of misunderstandings resulting in hilarious off-screen scenes.
  It kind of resonates with the 30s and 40s classic comedies that recent generations most likely couldn't ever enjoy if not prompted by their elders.
  Got some hearty chuckles during the read, and would recommend as reading when you're not really in the mood to deal with the world.

  Some nice jokes / funny scenes here and there. Unconventional characters that are not wishy washy. A story where you can't predict what will happen next. A story with no overused tropes. Something rather fun to read and quite entertaining.
  What more could you possibly want?
  Just give it a try.
