Idle Mage: Humanity's Strongest Backer

Synopsis
They said they came from out of nowhere. There were no signs of their arrival nor there were any loud sounds.
One day, Humanity woke up and was forced to accept their existence...along with the destruction they brought with them.
Ashton West, a orphan and a transmigrator from Earth. He woke up in this near-apocalyptic world without anyone else to rely on aside from himself.
Thankfully, he was blessed with a golden finger that came with his transmigration package!
Ashton: This world needs a Hero...sadly, I can't be bothered to be one.
Ashton: Surely there's someone out there who can fulfill that role. As for me? Well...
"Being 'Humanity's Strongest Backer' doesn't sound so bad."

Hmmmm Backer instead of Hero, an interesting and unique approach on apocalypse type novels. Will see how story develop. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Boring Info dumps for, what was it, 10 chapters consecutively or was it more? The guy who said this wasn't slow is lying. Sure time passes fast but the actions are slow. One or two chapters can be dedicated to this one fact about the world or these facts or these and these. Barely are there relevant information about the current events, some of it might be relevant in the far future but most or filler words for a world background. Even non info dump chapters felt like filler cause the school representative or something kept babling just to finish a chapter. There can be fun stuff but most of its boring, Its not bad novel but it is boring.
This novel is just too good and every day I just crave even more when I read the daily chapters. Does anyone know any novels similar to this except the way of knights as I’ve already read it.
Biggest complaint is author states how guns and such don’t work outside of the zone so teaches MC to use a staff and be powerful then literally gives him magic guns. This ruined the immersion for me and is the reason I quit reading.

this novel started well, but it became boring to me ... don't know why!!!! the things that bothers me most are : the system could have stopped everyone from sensing him by putting the protection before fusing the providence but no it didn't put it until the world sensed our glorious MC, second the cultivation technique or I should call it the nerfing technique (doesn't need any explaining), and last but not least this regal King, his reason for sponsoring him is not strong enough he have no conditions for the MC after graduation its as if he was sent from heavens to help the MC.... all in all I find myself unable to continue reading this novel. a shame truly I loved the setting.

So, the author built this entire setting and story. Then it felt like he changed his mind and just said let's time skip and blow it all up. Turn the ghost/spirit girl into his girlfriend(or something like that) and tell her his most important secrets. Suddenly he has all this gear and spells out of nowhere. This transition just did not work for me at all. I feel like I've read 60 chapters in vain.

It was good at the beginning, but after chapter 60 I found that it went downhill.
Mc is supposed to an adult in the body of a kid and he hasn't interacted with many people, but based on his internal monologues he's pretty much a kid on the inside too, he's still taking things lightly
The novel started out decent for me and even when the system overhauled it was still interesting and unique. But around the time of the Elstar Arc it lost all appeal. The system, the main reason you and I started reading it, all but disappeared. If the time was taken and the pacing was kept at a steady speed this could've been a good novel. But the inconsistencies and honestly disservice the author has done makes it nauasting to read. I hope in the future the Author learns from the mistakes of this one. At least he didn't go with the cliche "The peak isn't the peak" that many novels have where the established Peak of Cultivation isn't even a starting point but even then I think it would've made the Beast and Death Gods more interesting. Overall I give it about a 2 Star.

The author overall layout is good. the world background and character design is well made and withou holes and logical overall worth reading.However, the author is too found of time skip, and each time he does, he forgot some crucial plots that he could easily solve with a paragraph and that reduce the writing quality and story development.for example, the worst one is in chapter 17 he creates a plot of sexual abuse and the worst off a child, and the mc swears revenge.the theme is serious, and it is not something that you should just write and forget, but the author did. the mc grows in power and authority and could easily solve this, and just one line from the author would show care, making it that he didn't use a serious matter for cheap shock.there are other characters and situations, especially about City m and the academy, that show that the author doesn't care about the closure of plots and just wants to provoke emotions and care from the readers.thease are mostly details, but with how careful the world background and character design was made, especially in the case of the abuse, it is not something easily forgotten and forgiven .
This is my first review so I'll be brief. Writing quality isn't the best but it's not horrible either. Just wrong words here and there. I read up to chapter 63 in one day so I'm unsure about updates. The story isn't too slow. It can move from one day to one week and kept me interested in what was new each time. The plot itself is nice as well. It seemed like the city was portrayed with a "good" characteristic and has slowly been showing the grey areas which is nice. I kinda liked the characters and how everyone seemed to have a dark secret. There's also good character shaping and building. The world background is quite interesting as well. The author has left them self a foundation to build on for the future when it comes to the wide world. I can only hope they can create a wonderful story the is supported by the world.

It just is not for me so sorry and I Hope now that I have put a review it will top recommending i to Me
the idle mage is never idle.... and that too he can only grind spells... the story jumps a lot and few mistakes here and there... as I am reading chapter 80... I am very intrigued and want to know when will he use the remaining bloodline pills or will he stay 5 years there just to remove his curse. good novel

the pace of the story is good, MC had a good introduction and character buildup but the world isn't fully shown only two parts the bastion and the plague lands it's just too simple.
It's really amazing novel I can't wait to see more of the story Idle mage :D........................................................................................
I really don’t like it I don’t know why tho it has what I like just for some reason I don’t like it
Very good very solid book, I found it weird when the system literally stopped functioning as an idle system but it was fine, the story and progression was good. But once the first arc is over and he goes off to the fey era, there was no real grip to the story and most chapters felt like fillers with little mention of research he’s pursuing or spells he’s experimenting with. Great book, just no longer worth the coins I buy for it.

The book was not bad, but I felt as if the story remained the same after a while, it became repetitive
Eyy! It's ya' boy! Back at it again with the shameless reviews. Do check it out tho, seriously. I learned a lot from my experiences when writing my first book, I am trying to apply them all here. I appreciate your support! Thanks for checking this book out.
