  This story is a goddam Ogre faced Onion cake. It's beatifully terrifying. Its something you can't help but love and hate.
  I hate you Author for making me love this story.
  I love this story for making me hate the Author.
  Its a strange, perplex relationship but the kind of thing you'll develop when you read this story, whether its with characters, plot or just the general style.
  Complex is the one worded summary for both the Story and Characters score. Story got 4.5 becauce of it. I often found myself rereading chapters just because I believe it I missed a plot point or flag at some point in the story or Arc (I often did). But I enjoyed the search for clues and hints littered through out this novel and watching as they instertwin, link then weave itself into a wonderful tapestry most would call a novel. I congratulate the Author because he has achieved Art in the story.
  Character design and development....... F**k YOU AUTHOR STOP PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS YOU ASS...*cough*....you get more point I hope . 5/5, I would go higher but it would bias passed that point (No spoilers).
  Grammer honestly dosen't need changing just refining, i've only ever found typos and miss prints. Grammer Nazi's will hold no power here.
  Author I lovely hate this story to a state that I could call you a BAKA but I have not fallen to that pit of hell yet. I Stressfully look forward to the Ending of this story and the beginning of the new.

  A good story. Author really made an effort to fix the loose storylines plot. The story improves as you progress through the chapters. A great read. The plot was hard to predict. I really loved how the author potrayed romance. MC feels human which is great. Don't know how I feel about the end. But I really loved the book. Made my days more interesting
  This is my favourite quote. Spoilers below. This is the author
  I also realized that I have tendency of killing off female characters (Ella, Anna, Fen’er etc.) much more than guys. Bury those harem hopes quickly…
  I love how he portrays the useless nature of war and how it achieves nothing.

  Had to make an account finally just to review this. Although there are grammatical issues throughout the novel, I have enjoyed the journey Lynne takes. Even with his shamelessness and crude behavior, Lynne is one of my most favorite characters I have ever read about. He has flaws and the characters around him are not perfect, but you learn to love them. Although there are some pacing issues near the end, I thought it was an awesome finish to the story. Everyone should keep reading this novel. It goes from fun to serious and the plot behind it all is great.

  This does feel a lot like a Xianxiav Light Novel. Of cause this isn't a bad thing. But this comes with a very cliche Light Novel. Again this isn't a bad thing. This novel is quite well written and has some very good pictures as well. It explains well and the grammar is top notch. The only thing i could find was very few missing letters. As said before this reminds me a lot of a Xianxia Light Novel which means that people who normally read that kind of novel will likely find this to be a interesting read.
  Although Xianxia isn't really my cup of tea i'd still say the Novel is worth checking out.
  Although the whole "Main character who is a jackass and hasn't done anything for years is a super genius in magic who can instantly overrun years of training done by others" is kinda overused. By overused i mean really really overused. But again. This doesn't ruin it. Since most Xianxia Novels has this kind of setting it makes it easier to relate to for Xianxia fans.

  A 0-Spoiler Review
  I know my writing is far from acceptable and I'm skipping English classes for five months, yet, I usually spend 3-5h a day reading all those JP/KR/CN crap searching for good works like everyone here, ok?
  Right to the point.
  #1 Style - Too much description, your dense text takes too much energy on things and looks that doesn't add nothing to your story. However, original CN novels follows the same pattern, therefore I'm just taking one star from you.
  Want to know why CN novels are so dense? It's because of their workaholic cuture and inhuman contracts, those poor souls have to bleed for a good payment and 8/10 times their stories ends so twisted that you can't believe it's the same one you once liked.
  #2 Story - Everything is meaningless, you know your MC will end up OP, thus you created an huge handicap, fair enough, but it feels like the story got too greedy. There's just too much death for a stupid power building, the supposed threat always follows a senseless development and mythical beings just pop everywhere like pokemon to give more power/befriend/serve your MC.
  And a critical failure: If you give any serious thought, your plot keeps destroying everything the MC desires while forcing a destiny upon him, so, what will happen after the end? The question quickly turns into expectations and I already got disappointed.
  #3 - Grammar, mine is worse. Nothing to tell.
  #4 - Characters, what a sick world. Sapient beings doing evil without proper reasons since ancient times, high segregation and stressful life... It's another common flaw on CN novels, and another star died. However, you did it really, really bad. Your characters are all marked to a miserable life/death without family, achievements or anything that matters, I even doubt they are human beings and I can't understand how they chose to follow an excuse of MC, at least you should put some effort and give more options.
  Like... “Holy Crap! This MC is a bastard and don't see me as his friend, le

  BeddedOtaku is currently writing one of my new favorites called "master of the loop". If you haven't read that story I suggest giving it a go. I went into this expecting something of similar quality and sadly it's not there.
  Firstly, on the positive the story has some great visuals as becomes readily apparent in the very first chapter. They seem less common as you go on but it is still worth a mention as it's not something often seen especially to the standard found here. Unfortunately this one shining point does not make up for this stories short comings.
  The first glaring issue with this story is it's style. A problem I find plagues many cultivation stories, Skyfire Magus unfortunately is riddled with disjointed almost robotic language. For instance, when "coughs blood" is your go to for expressing shock in litrarly every scene you know something is off.
  The second more frustrating issue is the characters. Everything feels rushed and unnatural. Side characters are suddenly introduced, quickly established in a role with a surface level personality, and then killed. The MC is given a personality of extreme laziness, a challenge which could lead to interesting developments and interaction with growth but is instead effectively disregarded. I mean honestly tell me the lazy drunkard who one day says 'hey I should work hard because my dad has gone to war, I am going to go from no effort to studying from dawn till dusk' and actually does it. None of the interactions feel properly developed.
  The final straw is the plot, it reeks of railroading and spoon feeding growth. The MC puts effort in but the returns are always ridiculous. A comparison without giving spoilers would be doing some weeding and being rewarded with a year's salary, it just doesn't happen.
  All in all I really wished the other reviews were right on this because the author has done some amazing work but yeah I can't recommend.

  I'll admit that I didn't read that much (stopped at chapter 5), but that just goes to show what I think of it.
  Grammar:
  Unlike most stories on RR, the grammar in this one is actually decent. It's readable and while there are some mistakes, they're small. (even though they're kinda weird like forgetting to use 'the' and 'a/an' when needed)
  Style:
  I'm not sure if the author keeps using those drawings in later chapters, but he really shouldn't... Like, no offense, but they don't add anything to the story and they're honestly pretty amateurish. The writing style is also kind of strange, but that might be a mix of the grammar mistakes and the whimsical story.
  Story:
  Having read till chapter 5, I can't really talk about the story as a whole, but the story till chapter 5 is whimsical and cliché on top of being pretty badly told. The events in the story are random and there's no real prologue telling you anything about the world or a decent introduction to what you're getting into. This all makes it seem like an abrupt start and makes everything that follows seem nonsensical.
  Character:
  This is honestly my biggest problem with this story. You read that the main character is pretty much a lazy philanderer that is good for nothing, but somehow not even 5 chapters later he turns out to be a genius. Now, if there was a decent prologue portraying the character and his past then maybe the author could make this more believable, but no. The character, supposedly due to his philandering ways (literally explained as: he goes out and interacts a lot with people so he can detect lies and 'he read some detective novels'), is a master detective and a genius that can pretty much skip the first year of the prodigious magic academy. This of crouse all while being described as a lazy good-for-nothing rich boy that was sheltered by his dad. There's also not a single shred of emotion in the character, making him totally unreletable. My dad's probably dead? Well, that's a bit sad, guess I'll h

  Normally im just your longtime lurker, but i created this account to write this Rewiew.
  First of, i really loved this story up to some point, but the current arc ruined everything for me, i did read till the current chapter but however the author is going to round this up, im dropping it now.
  My main language isnt english, so please bear with me on that point. Everything im going to write is my personal opinion, so it doesnt mean the later chapters are unlikable to anyone. Just know that the latest arc feels totally like netorare (or NTR, google it if you dont know what it is) involving MCs lover/fiancee and good friend. Beware, i wont go into detail later but there will still be minor spoilers.
  Grammar:
  Cant complain, some missing words, but overall pretty good. Did read far worse here on RR.
  Style:
  So, we had some creepy pictures in the earlier chapters, but they disappear rather quickly down the story, so nothing much to complain here, either.
  Story:
  So i did read up until the current chapter, 20.4. It was a nice journey, with a rather unique main character. You wont find anything to abnormal, just your typical Xianxia MC becoming stronger and stronger as he beats enemies after enemies. But this isnt a bad thing, because its written really well and if you r into the genre, you will like this one.
  Now, why would i rate it 0.5 stars the, you may ask? Because of the last few chapters i read in one go before writing this rewiew. Just remember this is my personal opinion and insign into the story - and may contain minor spoilers:
  So we have our MC, doing his thing in the "mortal realm", who decides "fuck it all, im going to another realm", a divine realm to be exact (no spoiler, its literally the 18.5 chapter name). Because hes a good guy *cough* he leaves his financee and good friend behind because they are just to weak and would probably just get themself killed. At this point everyone thinks - even he himself - that he will come back, after finishing his thing.

  I am not sure why this story has such a high rating (even for royal road).
  The writing is decent and the writer has the potential to be a decent author but he doesn't seem to be putting much thought into the story itself. He created a decent enough magic system but the flow of the story is whimsical at best and idiotic at worst.
  I get that this was supposed to be a xianxia and maybe not be a completely serious novel. But the glaring plotholes and the idiocy of the characters are too much even for a xianxia. I think the author just writes without having any concrete idea of where the story is headed. The story as of now is a jumble of random events which are illogical even within themselves.
  I hope the author invests more time in structuring and developing a credible plotline in his future works.
  Note to author: I do not dislike the type of characters you introduced. The problem is that their behavior is too erratic and doesn't seem to come under a wholesome personality (They just do whatever you think is going to be funny at that moment). And the reactions of people to the MC are unreasonable and illogical.

  The story doesn't really make sense. In particularly the characters who make little sense throughout the story. MC and his friends just don't behave in a believeably consistent manner. MC personality majorly shifts with no reason or buildup at the start of the story.
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  In particularly I couldn't read any further when the MC's nation was massacred because, for some reason, he didn't feel like warning anyone about the incoming catastrophe. When he decided to not warn anyone I expected him to escape to save himself. Nope, he just stayed near the epicenter of it becoming more fearful and panicked every day but not escaping until disaster finally struck exactly as he predicted. At that point he had to rely on massive amounts of plot armor to survive, when by all rights he should have died.
  Also, enemy nations systematically massacring all the civilians after they killed off the rulers is just dumb and edgy. just conquer them properly.
