Standard of Reincarnation
Started off strong, but long term it doesn't stick the landing as well as I hoped. There's still time to recover once he gets proper OP.
Helmut: The Forsaken Child
Pretty good. Don't care for the seed of darkness stuff but I've always had a soft spot for characters that grew up isolated and learn about people along their journey. This one wasn't completely alone though so he has a decent bit of common sense, just less so when it comes to society as a whole. Like his personality too, calm and reserved but not afraid to stand his ground.
Archmage Transcending Through Regression
Sweet, MC is out here to get shit done. Just the right amount of serious and cunning mixed with confident and a little crazy. The magic isn't utilized as much as you'd think but I think this may change and what is there is fairly in depth. Fun side characters with some genuinely good gags.
Never Die Extra
I weep that MC isn't going to be a mage, and OG Evan seems so cute I wish I could have a strong airheaded MC in one of these. Women exist but they don't take up too much screentime and MC shows no interest so it's fine. The other side characters aren't revolutionary but they're nice to have. We have some light mystery going on about if he's in the actual game or if the game's world is real but I wouldn't expect much progress with that for now, otherwise the plot is just him getting stuff and strength so he doesn't die.
Youngest Scion of the Mages
Not as addicting as my 5 stars generally are. There isn't just one clear flaw, it's more like every aspect is slightly below the benchmark.
I Regressed to My Ruined Family
I liked it quite a lot when I was reading it, but nothing really stuck. It's cool but not exactly my type I guess. He shares his knowledge and to an extent powers with other people, and in general is a bit weaker than I'd like. He still wreaks havoc fairly often though.
Infinite Mage
Very fun. Smart MC that's pretty relatable. I ended up liking the couple chapters of bromance we got and his family is wholesome too. Interesting magic system and variety in the plot. EDIT: The school arc is kinda generic ngl. EDIT 2: Honestly underwhelming. There aren't that many cool op moments, the magic system makes no sense, it's just made up technobabble. The other characters range from boring to annoying.
The Demon Prince goes to the Academy
I know they're saying the prince is evil but I love him. MC is very hot. I like the plot and everything fr but when you ask me what I remember of this series then the answer is eyecandy. EDIT: Down to 4 because it's a harem and dropped because of that + some unfortunate spoilers.
Heavenly Grand Archive’s Young Master
Don't usually read murim and the like but I still give them a chance and this one's good. The whole mess with the original Beom trying to kill himself is both tragic and funny in a way that's hard to explain. I'll have to see if it stays good now that the suicide arc is finishing up.
