Abandoned at birth in a humble stable, Shirone was raised by commoners—but he was anything but ordinary. Blessed with remarkable insight, he taught himself to read at a young age. A fateful visit to the city introduced him to the wonders of magic, igniting an unshakable dream of becoming a mage. Yet, beneath the city's dazzling facade lurked a ruthless social hierarchy, where power and privilege crushed those who dared to rise above their station. As Shirone uncovers the world's darkest secrets before even coming of age, one question remains—can he defy fate and claim his destiny as a mage in a world determined to keep him down?
This is my favorite novel ever. this story is one of the most well written novels I have ever read, and I had a blast reading it. it has the best magic system in my opinion and one of the most unique descriptions of theoretical concepts in any written litterature I've encountered. I warmly recommend anyone to read it. for a while, the latest chapter i could find was chapter 190, and anything beyond that was horribly translated. to say the least, I was very excited when i found out that there was an actually good translation for this novel and binged it all. a slight criticism I have is that, while you did something new, and put the name of the one speaking before the sentence, you often mix around the characters, which was obvious at first read. as well as switches in genders along the story. other than that, i truly hope this series gets updated frequently.
Wanted to do this way back before introducing the Manhwa.. I read it in advance but still the magic story and the character development makes me read it again and again. I planned to translate it all until i broke down. Just kidding. If there is any other interesting novel that you want to read please let me know so i can do the translation for you. Thanks.
