Zeph Malston: The Aether Mage

This story is heartwarming. It makes you feel fuzzy. It isn’t a mad rush for power, a world to save or a convoluted quest for vengeance. It is a lost boy learning and growing and an old man evolving, and I love it because of this simplicity. Another great point is the universe this author created, whether be it the side characters, who are all lovable, or the world, which is a magic-modern world, and the best I’ve seen so far. And to top it all off, an excellent English which makes the whole story easy and refreshing to read.

Just noticed everyone gives themselves a 5. I thought 3 was being humble but decided...hey be a little shameless. so here we go.-------------------------

In the wake of all the intense young masters powering their way through the universe, overcoming trial after monotonous trial, this novels MC is refreshing and the story is a relaxing one (so far). Picky as this Old Man is, the synopsis was a good hook. Who doesn’t like a Wise Old Wizard *cough* like me *cough* I agree with other reviews, it’s a story with emotion. An Old Man reconnecting, or rather, finding out how great it is being father/grandfather, an influencer as the youngins say, to this young reincarnated/transmigrated soul that’s confused, scared, and excited about a new world and their own new and quite unique self. Tagging alongside the protagonist is a nice variety of characters that make this webnovel a bit more novel. The world background already has made some headway, having set a could foundation for intrigue in the readers. It’ll be interesting to see what else awaits. The author has stable upload times and a great knack for the slice of life story telling. I look forward to seeing the plot thicken, as action/adventure seems to be another genere to this novel. Perhaps my only gripe, small as it is, is that there needs to be an editor. Some words such as you, to, and other small tidbits are not in their proper form. An easy problem that can be resolved with proper editing. Overall: this novel has earned an Old Man’s recommendation for those seeking a ‘chill’ story. So far, one of the few originals that doesn’t cater to fan fic worlds, and webnovel tropes.

Very good world background with not too much emphasis on stages in typical cultivation novels. Writing quality is good and emotions are well conveyed It is too early to talk about story development but I am waiting for academy days. Our MC is calm cool guy but is childish sometimes Rest all characters design is also good. And author,please keep releasing chapter and thanks for this work.

This book is really refreshing for a cultivation, sword and magic style book. Its a fresh style, exciting, full of lots of potential, very engaging and something different from the usual books. I'm only 16 chapters in, the current world background, charachter design and story development is engaging. Theres room for a lot more, but the stwge is set for the information to stream in and not be dumped all of a sudden. The writing quality is really good, there's no problems, just I'm enjoying the content of the chapters so much I wish there was more, but onthat note, if the author was to write too much and ruin the current quality it wouldnt be worth giving 4 stars. But i gave 4 stars for update stability, though i just started reading the book, its allready been 2 days since the last chapter, the book is so good I want multiple chapters a day, its 4 stars due to my anxiousness to read more. I'm loving this book, hope it only gets better, so keep it coming.

the writing is incredible, each character feels extremely realistic and you can see them existing in real life. my favorite thing about many stories is relatable and likable characters and this is chock-full of them. the writing and world-building is pretty amazing as well. if it wasn't for where the story is popping up, I would have sworn this was a professional author. please write more more more more more!!!!!! I would love to be able to donate to the story.

I screamed whilst reading the first chapter. Like a dying pig. I don’t know... I can’t describe it? Like a bubbly feeling, but the viscously bubbling hot tubs seemed to well up inside my chest. That’s what you call excitement! And that’s what you call a good book!

This is quite possibly the very best novel on QI which will never be finished. Let that soak in for a moment. This is the first novel I read when I check for updates. It is the first novel I spend my power stones on. And should it ever go premium, it will be the first novel I spend my spirit stones on. This is a slice of life type novel with wonderful and believable characters set in a unique and fascinating world. It is a pure joy to read and it is an amazing change of pace from the usual tropes and stereotypes I see too often in novels on this platform. Should you read this? Yes. Absolutely. I just hope it is updated more often.

I really love this LN it has a very peaceful and .....natural flow of story, hats of to the writer. And I really love the solid plot and it’s innovative approach to a triditional plot build. I am also impressed with the way you have put just the right amount of importance to the power like it gives the plot more potential 🌟 And at last I hope you see this Novel through

Not usually a reader of fantasy, this story however, has kept my attention. I look forward to the short read each day! The characters are interesting and the author does a great job of painting a picture wit words. Keep the chapters coming!!

Well written, and so far (ch7) story has grabbed my attention, definitely an author to keep an eye on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
