Obviously stories do not have to be entirely logical and autistically detailed in their technical analysis to be interesting. Yes, I could harp on about the protagonist's ability to effectively deux-ex machina any problem with knowledge from his previous life (like other reviewers), but to not recognise that this is an issue endemic to most stories of this type is silly. Obviously, some amount of suspension of disbelief is required for almost any fantasy/sci-fi story, and this one is no different. But I can't really say it takes me out of the experience because I find the maximalism very entertaining, and it's pulled off well enough to not feel too "ass-pully". “I am the Sorcerer King” tries to jungle so many balls and moves at such a pace that I suppose it is inevitable that some will be dropped by the wayside (the ability to close dungeons. It just feels like the power tripping musings of a bored 12 year old that wishes magic was real and that they could somehow monopolize that in an arms race. I'd say it's mildly interesting in a train wreck kind of way but it's too boring to even classify as that. The MC also basically just becomes the stereotypical tyrant dictator of Earth, that his previous incarnation was of his previous world.
It's just so classy.Īt some point, the MC casually just casts off being human and is just kind of like, oh well. I always find it ironic when a minority makes fun of another minority for being a minority. At one point, around chapter 115 or so, he straight up enslaves a team of American hunters and, of course, the token black guy says something about how he's never going to be anyone's slave, right before giving into the slave spell cast on him. The MC himself is even like "my past self was a complete classist dick hole" and mentions how his current self wasn't like that but then basically says "well, they're both me, so it's fine." In a round about way, the MC just plain admits to being extremely classist and that he's fine with it, saying the (physically) strong should lead the weak. If you're curious about how the MC is a bigot, it's fairly obvious early on. It's the kind of excuse you'd expect from a lazy pre-teen. He just wanted an excuse to live where he was, so he blames his mom.
The protagonist is literally just some scummy average guy with OP abilities and knowledge doing whatever he damned well pleases regardless of whether it's good or bad.Įarly on, MC is offered a better deal to go live in the States and he's just like "nah, I'd rather just live in Korea because that's where my mom lives." At no point does he pretend he's actually loyal to the corporation he signed on with, Korea or the Korean government. Even the MC's tendency to just randomly do seemingly heroic things is explained as the protagonist just wanting a cheap feel good moment. The only thing mildly redeeming about it is how honest the author is about the MC not being a hero or even anti-hero. The writing is typical of this genre, meaning it's pretty much just shit tier.
