Mage hunter follows the journey of Lucas, a streetsmart young thief who makes a mistake that costs him, dearly, he goes through a variety of tribulations and problems to approach godhood and revenge on those who wronged him.
Mage hunter is a fairly unique story but this is mainly attributed to the plot, cultivation ideas, fights and characters and their abilities but it carries some very common themes yet they don't hold the story back. It is a plot based story supported by it characters and so far the plot is unique and the characters are developing very well. The fights are quick, cool and really flashy and destructive, it has a cool cultivation system and theirs a mixture of magic in their as well. The two paths to cultivate are magi and knight which are really different and are held up by different principles but we've only seen a lot about the knight path.
The main charcter goes from being young and hopeful in his lifestyle as a thief to being a hardened, spiteful yet hpeful slave who transforms into a supremely arrogant, cold and calcultaing indiviual who kills for pride. Other characters develop tooo such as Draak, their true feelings aren't expressly said but their interactions and dialogue clue you in, a great illustration of show don't tell by the author. Each character is 3 dimensional with their own ambitions, beliefs and wants.
The story is multi faceted and layered, with connecting plot lines and great world building with unique nations and gods. It has a rich history that is slowly unmasked by the main character.
It has its own fair share of problems though, firstly we can begin with the grammar but this is mainly attributed to the lack of an editor and it doesn't take away from the story too much and secondly the fairly cliche and slow begginig but it is neccesary and finalyy the Protagonists age of being only 10 and doing the stuff he's doing but that can be a result of his special ba - Houhou no MizuRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I won't say much that has not been said already. Just read it , you won't be disapointed but it still needs a bit of proofreading and editing.
The style is efficient and serves well the story. Do not skip the Prologue otherwise you might be confused by an near-omniscient first person POV. Otherwise it flows quite well and without many(not none) misunderstandings.
The big concern is towards grammar which is not awfull but sometimes a bit jarring. The lack of punctuation is the cause of a few misundertings some times so I had to read again a sentance or a paragraph to be sure of what's going on
All in all it's a good read, it's completely worth the shot. But it can be even better. I know the author is currentlylooking for an editor, unless s/he already found one so the quality of the story will improve - pewpewcachooRoyal Road★★★ 2.5The author needs to space it a bit more and use commas. There is some big chunky text in here and some commas would help a bunch. Along with spilting up some of the big blocks of text.
Story is okay, but it needs more. Gonna go check out what they wrote on the other site the author linked and check it out.
