Synthesia - Profile

It's kind of annoying. He spends most of every chapter in his own head constantly tuning out everything around him. As professor oak would say, there's a time and place for everything, but not now. Could be good if he just monologues to himself every now and then, but it's never ending.

Let me start by mentioning that I am biased against this type of character. I think everything Ein writes is in the top percent of fanfiction, but it feels like once you've read one MC of his you've kind of read them all. This is another story of his where I genuinely think that it might be better without all the female interaction because it's honestly kind of grating. I have a lot to say about the MC's but there's far more to his stories than that so I'll drop it. The premise is quite good. A barebones system kind of deal, and frankly I am biased in FAVOR of these types. Story seems a little slow but that's pretty standard for Ein. The quality makes up for it. This MC isn't a retard though. He's willing to offer trust like an actual person to the people who can and will help him, instead of being a brooding edgelord so that's good. Anyway, my only real problem is with the MC, and I'm heavily biased against characters like his. Give it a shot instead of letting my low rating dissuade you from reading. If you don't agree with what I've said, reply to my review so others can see both sides of things.

The beginning is a cliche I've seen a hundred times at least. The power of a druid is something I'd actually be interested in seeing. The grammar is atrocious and cripples the story. I couldn't even really focus past the grammar. I saw another review suggest writing in your native language and machine translating it. I would suggest you try this as well.

It's not a good story. The premise is good but the plot is not. The main character is absolutely awful. He has so many problems and so many conflicting character traits it's quite obvious the author has no idea what he wants with the MC. I made it to chapter 26. The fact he can't fathom being attacked by an organization while actively aiding their enemies is ridiculous. He then strong arms the org he was aiding into helping him get revenge, or the "Deal is off." Despite the fact that there is a Geas and he would have to suffer a severe penalty that he doesn't have the resources to give. As you can probably tell, this incident really bothered me, but its simply the final straw and a series of decisions and plot holes that make absolutely no sense.

Story is okay. The chapters are so short it's silly. One single scene is the equivalent of a whole chapter, so take that in mind when you read it.

I like the story quite a bit, but the author has a fetish for fucking over the main character. He has no idea how to introduce conflict other than making the MC's situation actively worse. Chapter after chapter this happens and the skills that he is grinding are absolutely useless, and he refuses to use them as intended. This is a review as of chapter 27.

The only good thing about this story is that it is legible. The characters suck, Harry especially is essentially a retard. You'd think he was dropped on his head a few times too many with how he acts. Plot is forced as hell. One chapter he says, "I'll meet with Lord Black but only at Gringotts" and the next he's literally at the house of the Blacks because "He was in the neighborhood." Lets not forget that, with no reasonable excuse, just flips out, breaks the wards of the house and harms Lord Black in the process. What a shit-show.

It's worth a two on the rating scale I think I'm being rather generous. The novel is titled the slytherin magus and the MC is obviously a slytherin, this is fine. What is NOT fine is that he shows no god damned traits of a slytherin. The MC is a fucking idiot, all the time, with no breaks. I thought the hogwarts arc was bad, but my god, the whole decline afterwards was a fucking trainwreck. Honestly I wouldn't have even posted a review, but the further I read the more frustrated I got. That's actually really impressive for all the wrong reasons.
