Description

Bob is an unlucky guy who loves toilet jokes, but when he dies and wakes up in a fantasy world, he gets more than he bargained for. Instead of becoming a powerful fire mage like he dreams, he’s forced to be a Poop Mage, with gross spells and a stinky magic system called P.U.M.A.

With the help of his “Fiery Fecal Flame” spell, Bob must earn "Stink Points" to unlock new abilities, but all his magic revolves around poop. The villagers hate him, he accidentally causes chaos wherever he goes, and even a group of holy knights called "The White Order" sees him as a threat.

Desperate to change his fate, Bob sets out to find a real mage who can teach him fire magic. Along the way, he meets weird allies like a sarcastic rogue named Roxanne, young noble Cooper, a clueless fire mage mentor, and a strange daoist master.

I think there are two directions to take this:
Exhaust the poop jokes and move on. Make a rather short but fast paced story where readers reach the end before it get's boring. A bit like "stone falls, everyone dies"
Build Bobs character more and make him a bit less cartoony, more likeable and take the story and it's characters seriously enough to tell an engaging story under a ridiculous premise. "All the dust that falls" could be good inspiration for that.

This is a very early review but I had a few thoughts after reading the available chapters. The Poop Mage is very likely to get quite a few initial views just based on the title, but how to keep those readers and build a story that can last with a potty humor premise? Challenging.
Can it be done? I think it would take a solid and loveable, relatable MC.
Right now, Bob needs some work to get to that level. He honestly does not convince as a genuine grown human being from the real world. His behavior is more broad ,simple and cartoony. Four chapters in, he has already coated himself in shit TWICE. That's an unsustainable rate of shit coating as a plot device , JMO.
If this story is going to have legs Bob needs to get fleshed out as a character, big time. We are going to need to LIKE Bob in order to tolerate staying around as he learns the mysteries of Shit Mana manipulation.
