Synopsis :
It is said that the true meaning of a mage is to fully understand the truth of the world. A mage named Saleen Metatrin goes on many missions as a normal mage to try and change his fate. This in turn led to many problems and adventures.

POSITIVE REVIEW :
A great novel that seems to get alot of hate for no real reason, it has alot of filler but that is something almost every novel on this app has especially some of the more popular ones, another complaint I see often is that there are too many fight scenes? Idk what these people are smoking but I think you're in the wrong genre if you want infrequent combat, the way the story arcs of this novel work are a long journey, fraught with dangers and fights, a midway rest where danger reveals itself and they are forced back onto the path, and finally a falling action point where the characters can rest, grow, and get their affairs in order. Unlike other sword and magic novels the MC is not a sociopath and actually starts out as ***** child that gets taken advantage of easily, it takes quite some time before he's able to deal with others without getting the short end of the stick.Also there is no "cheat item" his badge is actually a very weak damaged magical item which judging by the pilot chapter never gets repaired, it's only ability is to completely drain the energy of whoever is in contact with it and only gives an extremely slight boost to elemental affinity in return. As for combat applications he can only use it against an enemy effectively when he is in a group and fighting against an individual, as it renders him immobile as well, he can also use it as a shield as before it was damaged it was a very powerful artifact. The only thing that could be considered a cheat is the potion he drank to become a mage, but made him only able to use water magic and it almost killed him. He only survived when he met a grade 9 mage, which is the current strongest rank of mage in the novel, who was willing to fix the problems with his body.

NEGATIVE REVIEW :
Novels like these are the reason qidian needs to give us a preview chapter in the voting system. So basically this seemed like a cool new cultivation/western fantasy from just reading the synopsis however after first 12 chapters I can tell you it is a rushed pile of sh*t.
So we start of with some random mages being described and then straight to our protagonist who is apparently from some fallen clan, typical beggining stuff not great not too bad.
And from then the story goes downhill, cultivation is handled poorly we are not showed how did he feel or do his first casting of a spell, which is told of in a one sentence.
Next comes a timeskip and before even fully describing what happened author does another timeskip. After that more time is spent with stupid dialogues about rule of the jungle than basic world building.
I will not describe everything but these first 12 chapters were simply unimpressive, which is weird since author should show the vision for his novel in early chapters. This story might get better but i doubt it, however the translation quality is good and as for update stablity it is too early to judge.
