I can hardly believe I forced myself to read Chapter 201. Initially, I really enjoyed the story up until around Chapter 30. The beginning had a promising start, but then it took a nosedive. The main character (MC) seems to lose his intellectual prowess, dividing his energy between writing a novel and attending a strict school in a society with nobles and royalty. I can understand the stress that kind of environment might put on someone from a modern, free-thinking background.
However, the issue lies in the MC's character development. At 40 years old, he should possess a mature understanding of society. His literary and creative abilities in the modern world shouldn't be taken lightly. But when he enters school, his behavior is childlike, almost as if his intellect has萎缩. He forms a harem without any genuine reason or emotional connection, despite his parents being in a monogamous relationship. It's unclear whether he genuinely cares for these women or if it's just about their appearance.
Characters like Cecil, the demon princess, were potential gems, but they become mere stereotypes with high magical power and status. Her centuries of life should have given her depth, but instead, she seems to lack individuality and rational thought. Her interactions with the MC feel forced and artificial.
Marie's portrayal is slightly better, but the MC's romantic advances seem shallow and impulsive. It's frustrating how a supposedly intelligent character from the modern era behaves like a naive adolescent around attractive women.
The societal norms are poorly handled, with the MC not adhering to them fully. This inconsistency makes the world feel shallow and unbelievable, especially considering the presence of gods and advanced magic.
In summary, the lack of character growth, shallow world-building, and forced plot devices have led me to give this book low ratings:
Character Development: 2 Stars
World Building: 3 Stars
Enjoyment: 3 Stars
I wouldn't recommend this book and definitely wouldn't reread it. The more I read, the more issues I uncover.
This is the third time I've tried to read, I hope this time I can at least get to 100 chapters lol

That sounds stupid.
The characters are dumb AF and the story makes no sense when I think about it. Yet, for some reason I cannot stop reading it.
Okay I see lot of guys complaining but this is wizard type stories most of them have very slow start but story and MC develops overtime. One of the great MC I have seen. There was guy complaining how can mc as lvl2 can fight lvl 6 but the story explains but he was too busy complaining. I felt like this was authors first big novel he kind of experimented alot with more though he could have made it better and might’ve finished around around 1000 chapters not complaining though. He should have gives us extra 1-2 to end it better note felt like rushed like as soon as he reached peak it ended a chapter or 2 might have made things better.
This novel if you get past early chapters say 180+ it starts to get better is much better than high review novels. For example I feel like this novel can easily be top 100 if get past boring early chapters took me year to finish it.
Rating I would say 3.9 In my opinion
This was one of the first manhwa I read. Used to love it then.
are there any other good Novels of mad snail.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I appreciate the well-developed characters and their engaging interactions. The storytelling is seamless, and the author's witty asides added an extra layer of fun. The humorous take on the supernatural world brought to mind the writing style of Butterfly Shadow. I'm excited to delve into more of the author's work.
However, the ending felt unsatisfying compared to Butterfly's typical plot twists. While it was entertaining, it didn't quite justify a full 5-star rating. On the bright side, the translator did an excellent job.
I eagerly anticipate more chapters. It's been ages since I last got an update, and I initially started reading when there were only a handful of chapters because I found it engaging and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the updates were too sporadic. After a few updates, I dove in but was left hanging mid-story, right when things were getting really interesting for me. So, I plan to revisit this when there are at least 50-60 chapters available, and I'll re-read it from the beginning to relive that initial excitement.
