I think the manga does a much better job with regards to the visual portrayal of the characters. The LN illustrations are downright bizarre at times.

There's a manga?

If it's a Light Novel, it (probably) has a manga. Pretty much every light novel publisher at the moment likes to hire an artist to draw the manga, for those people that might be into the Light Novel if it wasn't for the walls of text.

I'm currently reading it and found it entertaining the only reason he's OP is because he uses his past experiences to facilitate his magic, my only gripe though was him going to a "high school" I just groaned and rolled my eyes when they said that. Still gonna read it just not as enthused anymore.

A big reason is because from the very start he was taught by the best, be it his magic(which is different from everybody else's), his enchanting, or his swordsmanship.

Yea loved the scene where he learned who his "family" really was, very funny sword master used to be a famous general, his grandpa is a world class hero magician, so is his grandma and his "uncle" is the king I was chuckling the entire time.

Yeah, the magic system in this world is conveniently easy enough for a high-school education to make him OP with just a bit of "proper training".
It's just for convenience sake. This happens a lot in "magic powered by imagination and nothing else" systems.

I've read a bit ahead I think around chapter 46 or so and I got one question. Does the circle jerking ever end? Like the MC can't do absolutely anything without someone somewhere commenting about how great he is like, even in the bath we can't get a decent convo going without someone commenting how great the MC is, we get it he's OP we don't need to be reminded once every paragraph. Also is it just me or is Sicily literally only there to be a romantic interest? She's like air almost no personality other than being that cute girl. Those are my only real criticisms everything else is cool the prince, his grandparents even the big bad is cool the magic is also interesting. Gonna finish volume 2 and probably come back to it later when the story picks up more.

The "hero masturbation" tag should be added.

SamVision · 2016-06-15, 22:22

I get the feeling that the writer is just incompetent as an author. He quite literally doesn't know any other means of writing dialogue and exposition.

What he needs is an editor that tones down his power fantasy for the sake of the story he could literally focus less on the ego wanking and use his time and energy to actually develop his characters. Hopefully the manga tones it down if not I'll probably drop it too and if it's picked up as a LN some rewrites fixes it.

edit; someone actually tagged "mc dick riding", my sides.

Wait.... There's a manga version of Magi's Grandson already out?

Ruki0089 · 2016-06-16, 22:53

Yup, it's already out already...

Oh my god. Did I actually post this comment? I deeply apologize for posting such a terrible opinion. I take all this back, just because a novel has a few elements that I like doesn't excuse it for being awful garbage. I'd sooner write my own novel than read something pandering to my tastes. I feel played here.

It started off good so I can understand you posting your initial thought, it only starts getting bad a little after he joins the school, even then some parts of the story are good. The grandparents, Gus, the big bad, how the magic works and the MC's power are well written and interesting it's just that the flaws it does have are really holding the story down. Hopefully the manga fixes some of the issues.
