My Thoughts on I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game
"I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game" plunges you headfirst into a world steeped in Lovecraftian horror, blended with the familiar tropes of game-system isekai. While it’s not a perfect translation, the novel has grabbed my attention. It's a wild ride, and whether you enjoy it seems to hinge on what you're looking for in a dark fantasy novel.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. The idea of a genius mage navigating the Cthulhu Mythos with game-like mechanics felt fresh. The first-person perspective is a great way to experience the madness creeping at the edges of the protagonist's mind. The accelerated growth of the main character is apparent early on, and how you feel about that will likely shape your overall enjoyment.
What Works Well
The atmosphere is undeniably the strongest aspect. The author paints a vivid picture of a world teetering on the brink of cosmic horror. The descriptions are detailed and evocative, really drawing me into the unsettling environments and the grotesque creatures that inhabit them. I also appreciate the unique power system. The protagonist's "genius" isn't just raw power; it's tied to his mental state, creating an interesting dynamic where his madness can be both a hindrance and a shield. The action is well-paced and varied, too.
Areas of Concern
The accelerated growth of the main character leaves the tension feeling forced. It can make the world feel less dangerous when the MC overcomes obstacles with little struggle. Also, the system itself felt somewhat restrictive to the power scaling and creativity of the characters. Also, while the world-building has great potential, the story focuses so heavily on the MC that we don't get to see much of the other areas and districts.

Final Verdict
"I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game" is a flawed but ultimately engaging read. If you're a fan of the Cthulhu Mythos and enjoy a protagonist who's powerful but also deeply flawed, then this novel might be for you. Just be prepared for a potentially uneven experience, where the strong atmosphere and unique power system are occasionally undermined by pacing and world-building issues. I'm giving it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's a fun, dark ride, but it could use a little more polish.
