Sword God in a World of Magic

Another great story by Warmaisach. It does not disappoint with the author's trademark expertise in world building and plot progressions, as well as his fetish for torturing his main characters. The plot in itself, along with its development, is intricately threaded together. The overall dynamic of the main character with the side characters is written well - if there are any at all in some arcs - and the latter's effects on the former as he changes his principles and evolves them further while going deeper and deeper into his own self indignation along with hatred/contempt/disdain for the 'weaklings' who have weaker will and drive for ultimate power than him is really intriguing. The end was also far less abrupt than the other one. 😂

I love this novel it put me through a ton of emotions specially when shang had to do something. . and The ending makes me excited for LITOW and kill the sun! Kill the sun may be connected. But for now Lightning is the only way.

This novel would be considered as my first novel and I would say that this was hell of a roller coaster His fear, his inferior complexity, his waiting for death to arrive, his loneliness, . . . etc You get the gist of situation He is pitiful, I have my condolences for his suffering. 10/10

Thought it would be a typical isekia world. The author takes on a dark setting and every choice the mc takes has consequences and loved how realistic the reaction of mc was towards killing. In his journey to power he gradually becomes cold blooded and a twisted mindset that power is everything yet he doesn't even remember why he chased power. One of the best character developments I have ever seen in my 3 years experience of reading novels. Also there are many times when the mc regrets and becomes emotionally unstable but it changes after ch 551.

This was a rollercoaster ride that saved me from depression. The world of Sword God is beautifuly written, which puts all other books and stories i've read to shame.

Pretty solid book, can be violent at times, but it’s solid. Was kind of a short read, and I hope that it gets continued in the future but it’s Alr, decent world building, the author portrays changes in mentality really well.

This novel is peak. The first 200-300 chapters are good, but they only have a few great moments. To be honest, I was sleeping through it for a while, reading just to read. However, if you just keep on reading, the novel just slowly gets more and more enrapturing. Shang is a cruel b*st*rd and I don't like him, but I'll be damned if he isn't an amazing character. The character development he goes through in the entirety of this novel is slow, but outstanding. Those pivotal moments scattered throughout every arc had me on the edge of my seat constantly. My only regret is that I didn't read the author's other novel before this, so if you're looking through reviews wondering whether to start this or not, make sure to read Lightning Is The Only Way first. I can't come up with any reason to give this novel anything under a big 5 stars. It d*mn well deserves it.

Sh*t is good. Very goal oriented protagonist if you are a fan of power of friendship, romance and such then you will not like this novel. Protagonist also expieriences many setback so if you want a smooth sailing it is not for you. For those who like to see some real struggle for power, and are tired of romance this novel will be great.

If you’re planning on starting I do recommend, it is quite an enjoyable read and I hate and love the mc at the same time and I think you will too lmao😂

Great novel, and it incorporates to the authors previous work in an interesting way, along with deep insights into the psychology of having the entire world against you as you compete for the limited resources in said world. I hope to see another novel by him soon!
