This review is at the time of ch 551 was published. The story was great at the start and had momentum by establishing the characters, plots, training arc etc. I enjoyed it and looked forward to reading it everyday with the stable updates it had. The character descriptions and world building were good with minimal to lack of grammatical errors which never broke the story emmersion for me. Somewhere along the way around 150 plus chapters, I started noticing that magic learned by the MC just became a plot device for any inconvenience or conflict they had to resolve with no repercussions. This may seem like stating the obvious for some or "that's what magic exactly is" but for an engaging story if you overuse a trope it becomes stale. In some arcs where he's doing multiversal travelling, the MC changed some stuff in the timeline that there was little to no repercussions, getting so OP that it's like doing side missions. This maybe the obvious course for any OP MC who has been on a long win streak but this leads to like situations where there is no urgency of the threat or the feeling of odds stacked against him. Anything seemingly impossible comes up, he pulls a magic spell out his ass conveniently which just needs to be prepared with no consequences. To conclude my thoughts, it still is a good fanfic to read but i have lost interest along the way and read for the sake of reading it. It did spike my interest back up with a recent arc where the MC and his companion travels to a universe and holds back their powers and explore an apocalytic world which was really fun to read.

The story was good at the start, kinda discouraged me when he revealed his origins but still powered through. Harems always kill a story, 3 should be the maximum and that too should contribute something to the growth or how the MC handles relationships and the story, otherwise it's hard to keep track or even care why they're even with the MC. Once i reached the later chapters like touching around the 100s, for me it felt like a slob to just read, so boring and i didn't even care as power levels just go crazy, who's sleeping with him and crap.

This review is done after reading till ch63. The story was interesting to read at the start and was going on pretty well with good progression. Also the power of Shazam is not how it works like in DC, here it is kind of like a convuluted system which gives an application of the power of the gods like for some reason the MC has telekinesis and telepathy from wisdom of Solomon which does'nt makes sense but since it's a fanfic, hell why not. The story which the author tried to paint on a doom scenario where everything is gone to shit. More plots with bigger problems are introduced to show multiple threats which are going on at the same time to show some grand reveal later on and there's no way getting back the world as the MC is the key to this. He gets powers and a body which is like an amalgamation of different races so that he can get powers pulled out of his ass later on(speculation). But in the process of all this the story just became a drag to read and just lost all the steam and effect. Whatever the story builds upto for the grand ending how the MC saves the world is not worth it.

I read till chapter 45 before writing this review. It's just bad writing, humour feels kinda forced and doesn't sit right.
