/ Fantasy / Epic Of The Demonic Sage
Synopsis
Lucius was a man born to a pair of lowly servants that worked for the Great Demon worshiping Barrom clan. Growing up in the harsh conditions of the Barrom clan where magic and power reigned supreme, he weathered through humiliation and schemes. Knowing that he wanted to be the oppressor than the oppressed, he began his conquest. Not averse to betraying or scheming, Lucius made use of his allies as mere pawns to be sacrificed.
Learning that a powerful artifact lost eons ago was hidden in an ancient ruin, Lucius betrayed and sacrificed one of his closest people, his lover without hesitation.
But he didn’t know that fate had a different plan for him and the artifact he had yearned for would send his soul hurtling across the cosmos, forcing it into the broken body of a young man called Asher Inanis. Coming to his senses he finds the world to be completely different where the magic of his previous world did not exist, but what did was ‘Gifts’.
Witness how he learns about the world, gains power and reigns supreme against all odds becoming the Demonic Sage.
P.S. This is a slow paced novel and has a lot of world development at start. If this is not to your taste, you may not like it.

I do not own the cover, will remove it if asked.

This is author's 3rd book and my 2nd book.....From my previous experience with rise of worm sovereign i feel this is also gonna be blast. Author writes quite a good plot with very few holes and an extensive world building with apt description. So here we have our MC who is not from the main bloodline family and found an ultimate inheritance but that needs to sacrifice people. so he brings people from the family and sacrifice them and in them includes his lover who is pregnant(he doesnt know). Both MC and his lover offered sacrifices to make the deal with the devil with MC sacrificing his team for power and his lover sacrificed their baby so that MC doesnt get this power and since devil had to honor both the deals MC was banished to other world. This will surely be a blast
(Looks around *SCREAMS* Okay lets start this *Clears throat to type*) First of all I want to hate Lucius (MC) but I can't, who will dislike a ruthless yet cunning, witty and a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. (T_T) Yes, he's your usual anti hero starting off in an ancient setting to achieve his plan (Though it made me recall Hellboy movies for some reason) Character development of MC remains unsettling and quick in first 6 chapters and he goes from 0 to 100 very soon, but that's how he is from the beginning. Although I really wanna see will he go on a guilt trip after coming conscious into another body (Well, after all he will begin his journey from point 0 again as a punishment) Nonetheless you don't really have to worry about quality and grammar, the picture will be shown vividly to you even that cosmos stranded scenario too in chap 7 can be played in brain effortlessly. Although I still pity those 3 companion men rather Mira, well the baby was innocent but at the initial chapters I KNEW BABY WOULD HAVE A BIGGER PICTURE AND PURPOSE (Lol!)
if you are ok with reading stories at an excruciatingly slow pace then this is your jam. the mc is weak af and his ability is as useless as it gets for his power growth. spoilers start here I read till chapter 50 writing quality is good I don't mind grammar much anyway. story development is slowwwwwwww 20 chapters and he hadn't even moved paralyzed. His useless ability is what made my mood very sour. His ability is that he can see others' abilities but guess what the conditions are. The first condition is that he must know what the ability of the person he is checking is. And if he wants to know the information about the ability than he must have seen the ability in action 🤐🤐 I am speechless why did you even called it an ability oh the useful part of mc ability is that he can upgrade other peoples ability while he remains a weak wimp

I am out, knowing that the MC betray his lover for power means he is Vicious and betrayer.I just dont like this kind of MC and novel, The MC can be merciless and vicious snake to his enemy but i think its my limit to betray your lover and love ones.I just dont like the mood of this kind of novel.Probably this novel will be good for people who like scheming and betrayal type MC just not for me.
It starts dark then the MC's personality shifts without warning. He becomes a mama's boy who is constantly explaining himself. The expositions and information dumps are crazy. don't feel bad skipping them, you won't miss a thing. Nothing happens for 30 chapters. Then nothing much happens until 100 chapters There is an annoying female character that gets forced onto the readers. Her job is to annoy the readers. She asks about everything all the time, interrupts every discussion. The MC spends chapters explaining himself to this female character over and over. Good luck. Its like author decided he wanted a female character and then forced one into every scene. you can literally edit her out and nothing changes. she adds absolutely nothing. Everytime I see her name I skim through. So don't feel bad about skipping said chapters. believe me, you won't miss anything important.
At 139 chapters in, I have to say I love this book. Lucius is a calculative and cold MC, while managing to not have an edgy design as a character. Although he is the protagonist, he's no hero, and works only for his own personal gain. The story pace is magnificent, the characters are memorable, and the growth of the MC is smooth. There is no obvious plot armor, and it's a very lovely book to read. Would highly recommend.
Loving the novel so far... MC thinks ahead, ruthless to his enemies, coldblooded killer but not a crazed maniac... Hope this type of development we will see as the story progresses... Even if he bonds and shares a strong bond with his family hope that doesn't change him... Nobody said to be an evil cultivator one has to not care about anything...
I have read 50 chapters untill the part where I have to unlock new chapters and I am not happy. I was entreaked by story read it with 'patience' (I have emphasized patience bcz I don't have a lot of it) I also have very short attention span like I get bored quickly but author did a great job at synopsis and his tags I read it and many times slept in reading the chapter in between I am bored out of my mind after reading it till now and honestly feels like I wasted my time like story progresses at a snails pace mc is like recovering for who knows how long and I cannot explain it in words but the tag overpowered will come into effect after 1000 chapters the way it's progressing.I have dropped it's just too slow ,even if author said it will be slow but there is nothing really going it is just slow for sake of being slow you know what I mean.
Writing quality is great while having a few errors they are nothing major so it doesn't really affect your readability. The development is splendid and it joys me to finally find another novel with no cliche and annoying plots that are there only to portray needless bravado for the protagonist. Each and every characters seems to, very surprisingly from a novel of webnovel, follow the realistical concept of personality and emotion. The young masters don't annoy him neither does the damsel thirst over him. Now moving on to what I assume me and others reading this novel is mostly concerned about, The personality of protagonist. I'll have to say he's very apathetic to the point of making the common masses averse to his notion of morality which, by the way, doesn't exist at all. He as said in synopsis, betrayed and sacrificed his lover and comrades for power. And up until to now he hasn't showed even slight deviation from that personality or thought process. I'd personally rate this novel 5/5 as nothing so far disappointed me at all except protagonist kind of hiding his gift which I don't really care about.
Slow-paced story + slow release rate? :3 The story, world, and something something itself is interesting. really but the author is just keep on stretching the chapters(progress?) with his 'important info' and other paragraphs that is basically there just for the sake of filling some empty space?(maybe?). I mean there is some experiment or something that can be explained and be done in 3 chp but got stretched up to 5chp or more with the talking, pondering, and blabbering? something like that. and personallythat is not cool :v so yeah. and If you're looking for an Overpowered MC. this one is more of a Weak to Strong one rather than op (maybe he go Overpowered later on? idk). he got some unique power, and his brain is working fine. his family think he is clever and smart too, Int/Wis +1
I read this up to chapter 53, the writing quality itself is really good, but the novel itself was terribly slow to the point of pain. Within those 50 chapters there was practically 0 action, the only thing we got was an annoying servant girl who acted like a mother, so to sum up, the writing quality itself is good, no mistakes, the environment are nice and characters also have "character" but the story itself in my opinion leaves a lot to be desired 3.6/5 from me
Wow, this guy betrayed everyone, friends lovers, family was probably dead by that point, prob would have betrayed them too, this guy is the worst, then again, from then on his personality can only get better, probably.... don't know if I'll read this, I'll save it
I've read a lot of books and even though this one is just beginning it's already drawn me in so much that I can't wait for the next chapter I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a book that draw you in and never let you go
TL;DR - Very slow beginning, annoying side characters. MC's a docile puppy. Very slow. Also very annoying side character that constantly interrupts the MC. MC's a momma's boy, constantly explaining himself. It's very hard to read without getting annoyed and frustrated. The world building is decent but the info dumps are too much.
I don't like the nerf in the MC with magic and invalidates MC knowledge for the most part.Also the compatibility with the body he said ways of fixing it,then saying he can't without explanations or trying.The family connection not controlling people properly especially with what happend with the MC near the start of the novel,invaliding that soon after MC in new world.Dies not match title.But it's what I expect from this authors work.

I am at chap 113 and until the mc reach the other world this was a good novel. But for a mc who will kill even his gf for power this mc is oddly close to his new family, the problem is when the mc does a groundbreaking discovery, his family is nonchalant about it and they were like meh. The novel became lazy to explain the implications of his action ,and in later part even his demonic powers were not the main focus, I think if you introduced the enemies at first before our mcs actions it would have been great, but now he is just explaining sh it to his family who gave no particular satisfactory reaction.
I read until 33 chapters and I have to say that this is the slowest novel I have ever read. You basically defined the meaning of slow. I don't mind slow pacing but a slow pace without any conflict or plot is so boring that I felt like sleeping after shortly waking up in the morning.
The story development is nice and all.. the mc is believes in using his head more often than fists. So far the world building is going fine too. The only problem I have is with the way you describe every little action. Some places where questions need not be asked, they are still added making it unnecessary. Like if Lucian reached a door, he will ask Kiana- I guess this is the place. The mc doesn't need confirmation from his Kiana for every little things. Somethings can be written in a simple way- Kiana bring me some food. We don't always need the conversation of - I am feeling a bit hungry, should we have our food now? Lets head out then.. I feel like that 80% of the texts in the story are conversations like that. It has been like 250 something chapters but I feel like I read about 50 chapters. Whatever was written can be compressed in such low amount of chapters. I don't hate more descriptive stories but there is a balance between too much and too little. Well I understand the need to keep up the word count and the need for new ideas. But having a scene stretched on for like 10 chapters isn't fun. The brewery plan itself took like I don't know how many chapters. Three chapters were of him going there to check on the brewery and another chapter was about the the brewery is working. Details are good but unnecessary details makes me want to skip paras after paras. So I hope the author can change this. Sometimes I can literally feel my heart burn with how slow things are.
First I have to point out 2 bad things about this book, first is that the cover doesn't fit at all, our MC is nothing like the one on the cover and I can't imagine him ever becoming like that. Second, some words are sometimes inncorect, I would assume that is because of wrong autocorrect, but it doesn't happen more than 1 word per chapter. Other than those two problems the whole novel is a breath of fresh air, power system is interesting, MC is truly cunning and the world building is great. Can't wait for further chapters 😊
Well from the synopsis i see that were off to a truly dark start. Sacrificing love for power is it worth it? Will it ever be worth it? Find the answer to those in this novel. I mist say this is one of the darkest synopsis i’ve ever read. Its noting like the walker of worlds which fasinates you and make you feel like your flying. And by the way author pls dont make his lover appear in his second life pls? I turly hate stories where rivalry is is not dead even after both of them die or even when one of them is dead. This is quite possibly a anti-hero protagonist who would do anything for his own benifit.
