Idle Mage: Humanity's Strongest Backer

This WN is pretty decent if you are bored or waiting for more chapters of your favorites, but it does come along with its issues. First, the grammar is absolutely terrible earlier on and gets better over time. Then there is the plot, which is decent, but is inconsistent with pacing. Chapters 1-60 as others have said are nice, but slow and have little happening. Chapters 60 to around 100 something are very interesting and have faster pacing, but late 100s and early 200s are reparative. Around ch 260 is where I am currently at and the plot is picking up again. A decent read, but other novels are more worth your time

I have read this book all the way through twice. This book has made my comfort books. Although the writing could be better, I loved the different aspects of chapters and the world. It takes brain power to understand but even if you don’t use your brain it’s still a great book with potential. Warning some arcs are terrible and even good writing wouldn’t save them.

So it has more negative points for me than positive ones ---> first 60 chapters is mostly useless descriptions that can be done in 20 chapters then in mc's first semester in academy everything went from 0 to 100 in just a chapter. Romance was like he met her in library---> a couple of chapters later author used a time skip and now their together . It has a good world building and some nice charecters but at the end of the every shit that's happening you know Mc just gonna be fine . And this is a system cliche novel yes , the idle system doesn't have much originality of it's own and like most of the other systems it gives insane rewards for everything you do . Everything is easy you know despite how author wants to show Mc is struggling imo he faild to do so I mean one chapter he meets a strong demon that he can't defeat even in his dreams 3 chapters later with some overused time skips Mc trained , got rewarded by system , discovered something , got stronger and eventually killed that demon . BUT it can be intreresting as I've said it before it has a good world building , No Harem, consistent updates. Maybe it's bc I've read the top ones that this novel is bland for me I don't know I hope if you're gonna read it then you'd enjoy it .

Too inconsistent and the entire plot is forced. Example for inconsistence: Spell upgrade to lv1 cost 500 and then author had a stroke and decided the upgrade cost to lv2 is only 100 which according to author is higher than 500. Example of forced plot: MC gets a re roll stub for his blessings and spins the wheel and it land on the most powerful blessing which is a tiny strip on the massive wheel. Who would have though it would land on it lol not me.

Great novel system introduction was ok and all, but it feels the purpose of the system is not made clear in a lot of occasions. Such as the system is a sign in reward in places with history and mana, but the author doesn't mention about them when he gets to such a place. Overall good read but the main interesting elements for me seems to be downgraded a lil bit

I have a lot of complaints about this novel, but despite this I don’t really dislike this novel. My biggest complaints is that everything seems forced and that the author abuses time skips too much. Because of these most of the story is just kinda put in, otherwise it would just be just reading the “new” abilities the protagonist has. Also while it’s nice that the author did not make the novel a harem, but the heroine liking the protagonist is more forced than usual. “Hey know that girl I talked about 2 chapters ago? Well 6 months have passed and we like each other now. ” Is basically how it went, and when a crisis happens they are all lovey doves with each other for almost no reason other than they are alone. But again despite my complaints, it’s still readable and if want a op protagonist that’s slightly different from the rest, this is for you.

I read all the way to Chalter 346 and I have to say it's pretty good. The characters, plot, pacing, and action is pretty good. The only take away I have is the grammar and formatting.

I enjoyed reading this. It is entertaining, and although the plot slows down at some points, it never drags on, which I greatly appreciate. The world-building is quite good, the character development is decent, and I cannot express how grateful I am at finally finding a novel that doesn't have a MC with a harem, The MC is loyal to one person, and the relationship is very well fleshed out.

I don't really like Academies arcs, especially how it's portrayed in this novel. If ur a fan of them, then you can pretty much enjoy this novel with no problems, but it's just not the case for me. . .

I'd only read up to around chapter 130 before the website shut down, but I enjoyed reading this. It is entertaining, and although the plot slows down at some points, it never drags on, which I greatly appreciate. The world-building is quite good, the character development is decent, and I cannot express how ECSTATIC I am at finally finding a novel that doesn't have a MC with a city's worth of women in a harem, each of whom he's probably interacted with for a maximum of a few chapters. The MC is loyal to one person, and the relationship is very well fleshed out.
