My Thoughts on Infinite Mage
Alright, let's dive into "Infinite Mage." This one's been a bit of a rollercoaster for me, and it seems like for a lot of other readers too. With a decent overall rating, there's definitely something here, but it’s not without its bumps.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the concept of a hardworking, genius protagonist making his way through a magical academy. The early chapters promised a story of overcoming adversity, with a focus on the MC's dedication to mastering magic. Several readers praised the unique magic system and the world-building, which definitely drew me in. The synopsis gave the impression of a story that would overturn the nobility, but it appears that is not the case.
What Works Well
The protagonist's growth and passion for magic are definitely highlights. I appreciated the focus on his dedication and the fact that he wasn't instantly overpowered. The side characters also seem to have their own depth and relevance, which is a big plus. The unique magic system and its potential also caught my attention, offering a refreshing take on the genre.
Areas of Concern
However, I can't ignore the criticisms surrounding the female lead and the "forced" romance. Many readers found the interactions awkward and the female lead's actions problematic, especially concerning her past bullying of the MC. The MC's reactions to her actions and the overall dynamic felt inconsistent and frustrating to some, even leading to the dreaded "tsundere" label. This is a major sticking point for many readers, including myself. It felt like a betrayal of the MC's initial strong personality. This is further reinforced by the nobles who only receive a delayed degree for their heinous acts.

Final Verdict
"Infinite Mage" has potential, and some readers clearly love it for its unique magic system and character development. However, the problematic romance and the perceived inconsistencies in the MC's personality are significant drawbacks. If you can overlook these issues, you might find something to enjoy. But be warned, the early chapters might not be representative of the story as a whole. I'd recommend giving it a try, but keep your expectations in check.
