review after reading only six chapters I enjoyed the book even though there are a lot of pseudo scientific stuff incorporated to create the fundamentals of a magic system. Everyone seems to have a mana core which acts as a second heart. The mana core could be compared like a heart, because it is also bound onto a circulation system. But unlike the heart the mana core pumps mana through the body. I like that it isn't a system novel and that everyone can become a mage. (I know that are pretty low standards). It's not fast paced which helps with world building. Atleast we can see the interactions between the brothers and how they prepare themselves for their journey. The protagonist seems kinda bipolar to me. On the one side he seems like an encouraging brother, whom I wished I had. But on the other side he also is kinda sinister because his willingness to get his brother's into danger to achieve his goals. This novel belongs more onto magical realism than anything else. writing quality:■■■■□ better than 90% of stuff you find here. But there is still room for improvement. update stability:■■■■■ even though the author promised weekly updates, daily updates and more can be expected. character design:■■■■□ the character seems to be realistic but are limited onto the five siblings, the village elder, the priest and the tax collector right now. Even if they interact with each other frequently, interaction between characters and other villagers would help in creating a more realistic scene.

flashbacks from his former childhood friend also could be nice. it doesn't have to be flashbacks I'm just curious about her development after both of them were seperated.

I would say give it a try it's nice to read. I like the novel it's not some cliché "system" or reincarnation novel and the protagonist seems promising. I'm curios about the character development of our protagonist and the people around him. A few flashbacks would be nice to see how he developed over the time before the story really began. To be honest I would ship him with his former childhood friend and his father did nothing wrong. overall 8.5/10
