A life I didn't ask for..
A world I couldn't call my own...
I'm Edward Walters. That's what I'll tell anybody if I'm ever asked. Because, that was the name I answered back one Earth.
But now, in this new world I reincarnated in— a medieval one of swords and magic— I'm known by many names.. The Undisputed Prodigy, The Anomaly of my generation, The Legend Blank, and... Charles Liam Flameworth.
But I didn't ask for any of these.I didn't ask for the titles, the power, the wealth, the sufferings, the wars, and the fame. I.. I just wanted to go back home. But fate pinned me to this world, giving me no way back.
Untill I decided— if fate doesn't give me a chance.. I'll make one for myself. I'll shatter this so called fate, and I'll go back to my family.
This is the story of the Anomaly that defied Fate. The one who Reincarnated as a Genius Mage.

Don't ask me why I shamelessly gave myself five stars. It's tradition. So, what to expect from this novel? Let me make a thing or two clear first: Are you looking for Yuri? Then go back. Looking for NTR? Go back. Looking for Harem? Go back. Looking for a picture perfect 'Sigma' Main Character? Go back. This one is a real human with massive flaws. Looking for a power trip where the MC gets handed powers that he never worked for? Lmao. Go back. Now, you can read if you like the idea of; 1.) A real adult who wasn't a virgin weakling back on earth, and actually loved his life, had a good family, and a good life. Yeah, the MC's whole motivation is to go back (until it's not). Don't expect "whoa, I died, I'm a baby now, lol." 2.) A Main Character with layered feelings that he tries hard to hide. Emotions, fears, regrets, goals, ambitions. An imperfect human being. 3.) A slow burn story (not really but well, yeah) that doesn't give you all major, important details, and exposition on the first chapter. You're gonna experience and find out more about the world slowly, together with the protagonist. 4.) Supporting Characters that feel Human. Yeah, surprise! these ones ain't cardboard cutouts programmed to glaze the MC. Most of them have goals, regrets, ambitions. And also, you won't know all about these characters the moment you see them. You're gonna discover their character, ambitions and the rest, along with the Main Character. 5.) A novel that doesn't sexualize every female human being that walks past the Main Character. In fact, there's no sexualization at all in this novel. Yes, I believe in the contents of vessels rather than their appearance or how good they look. So.. 6.) Hmm. The Main Character.. yeah, bare with him. And as you read, ask yourself, "How would I feel if I was in his shoes?" well, it's not like he's bad. But he's emotional, and sometimes he becomes irrational. And I know that many readers might not like that. And if you can't bare with it, then that's fine. But if you can, then, I implore you, read further. He doesn't get better, but I can say that he changes with time. 7.) And finally.. this guy, he gets stronger after working hard. Sweat and blood forges his strength. Not a golden finger. Well, he does have some sort of 'advantage' but it's not really a cheat. Read the book if you're interested and wanna know more. And that'll be all, I hope y'all enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoy writing it. And if the story or main character just doesn't scratch your itch? Then that's totally fine. Everybody has their own preference. Happy Reading! and oh, if you've got any questions, ask me. I'll try my best to answer them.
This is a honest review. I only read this till chhapter 12 so take my review as a grain of salt. writing Quality (3*) I am not an avid fan of 1st person perspective, mainly because it gets confusing when they suddenly switches perspective. I find some perspective switch unessecary like how the butler (?) thinks hes not impressive at all then will be mmentioned again by the patrriarch’s own POV. I do notice a little use of AI through grammars, that's all for writing quality. World Background (3*) Had potential but deeply flawed. I feel like Author focuses a lot about his main character’s self dilemma. It will be nicer if we get to see or get introduced how the world operates and how his environment affects the MC. But then again I only read till chapter 12 so take this review a grain of salt. Character Design (4*) Each character seems have their own personality but I'm not really fond due to how some have unrealistic ideologies. For example the patriarch treats the MC (which is 4 yr old kid) a disapppointing adult. A 4 year old having muscle? I guess its a world of magic so it does works but scientifically no it does not. I do like Jenette alot, she's a Pookie bear Additiional: The Author did mentioned that there will be no OP sigma male MC here. I do noticed that the MC was flawed. However I do argue that he's still OP as he was granted an all -rounder affinity and he did not even worked for it. People call him genius for passing the first trial when all that happened really is a Phoenix ttalking to him about his role something. So yeah that's all for me BYebye
