This review is spoiler free If you do not want to read the whole review and just wants to know if its worth reading then Yes it is definitely worth reading but do not go with much expectations Its one of the most enjoyable and entertaining manwhas ive ever read. if you love action sequences then sorry but there isnt much action in the first 5060ish chapters if you love a emotional story or a plot that hooks you then sorry there isnt much of that either until very much later on. despite all that is it worth reading? yes i think everyone should at least give this manwha a try because of the profundity and thought provoking nature of its story. it is one of the deepest and one of the most profound and one of the most scientific manwha youll find right now. When i first heard about infinite mage i didnt paid much attention to it and just brushed it off as yet another generic cultivation/magic op mc manwha and while i was mostly right about it i was also blown away by how ridiculously deep it goes with presenting its ideas and how it present those profound ideas. it tackles so many ideas scientifically and philosophically that almost every 3 chapters youll be scratching your head in awe and googling terms. while the first few chapters definitely feels your average generic commoner noble magic story it quickly picks up the pace and tries to subverts your expectations with presenting some core issues and i loved every moment of it but thats also the main problem i have with this manwha yeah sure it does present very profound and thought provoking ideas it does not flesh them out or introduce a clear answer to them or just straight up forgets about it in the next chapters. Ill now divide this review into its pros and cons and try to give my honest opinions about it. PROS Extremely well thought out ideas excellent power system with clear defined explanantions Well written characters for the most part that makes you want to root for them absolute great Art and character designs Interesting philosophical ideas that gives you midnight existential crisis pacing is fine for the most part cant really complaint but it does feel rushed on some parts blends philosophy with science but does not over extend its ideas to try and push its answers to the reader tries to tackle societal scientific moral existential questions in a healthy and fresh new way through magic like full metal alchemist monster pandora hearts and land of lustrous CONS tries to incorporate many ideas and storylines very fast with no clear idea on how to flesh them out and give them meaningful conclusions. sometimes clearly forget the questions it tries to ask to its readers never to be mentioned again feels like a hot mess of different plot points with no clear direction on where to lead the story has no actual main plot its just discovering magic and trying to understand what it magic bland and very little character development given to its main characters feels very generic at times falls flat most of the time in presenting its ideas to the readers as it makes the plot very confusing to follow. IN CONCLUSION I will conclude this review by saying i whole kindheartedly recommend this manwha to everyone and i ask everyone to at least give it a read even if there are many clear flaws with this manwha. this is the first time im writing a review for a piece of media that im so passionate about. i acknowledge that there are many flaws with this story but i believe as the story grows the writing and execution will grow as well. i at least acknowledge the hard work the author has put in this thought provoking manwha even if he had no clear way of fleshing out the ideas he presented here. if you are someone who loves thought provoking media and loves the blend of philosophy and science then this manwha is for you. thank you for reading this clumsy review to the end and i wish you a good read.
