A man on his death bed regrets only one thing in his life: not being able to become a wizard. Fortunately he is reincarnated into a world where magic does exist. Will he be able to accomplish his dream? Or maybe fate (the author) has other plans for him… (Synopsis by 3nd3rn)

If a chapter isn’t in the TOC somehow, don’t worry, it’s still easy to get to. All chapters have pages in the format of halostystales.com/wizard[chapter number]. Merely replace [chapter number] with the actual number of the chapter you want, so chapter 225 would be halostystales.com/wizard225
thank you
I made it up to chapter 49 before giving up. It’s got alot of potential and would be a truly awesome story IF anything ever actually happened in it :/
It kills me, it’s like reading the journal of a great adventurer that writes with the personality of a rock. That plus a whole story about a “wizard” in a book called “wizard” but the useless fella cant even use magic. A whole book of some loon going on about his day to day problems, being a magicless mage, while for no apparent reason trying to take on the worlds responsibilities.
This book makes me want to cry, it’s so close to being awesome only to fall utterly flat, I kept reading waiting for the punch line, some action, an overall all goal or something to pull the story in and give it an orbit. It never happened right up to chap49, reading this far for nothing hurts, give the poor fella an opponent, a rival a love interest a freaking whole in the ground, something other than ” I got out of bed in the morning. i had breakfast. I talked to an angry professor.” blah blah blah. So much talking and the only thing to happen in 49 chapters is that he found a not so talky talking staff. LAME. I’m out :'(
Well, I do admit that it is somewhat slow. Not everyone will like the style.
Bah,it’s a cool story and it picks up after 70+ or so. So you don’t know what you lose
thanks for the story and igotta say it just keeps getting better as you write
Thanks! I’m glad you think so 🙂
So does he ever learns magic because chapter 43 he is 18 years old and still nothing……..
Ups i meant 23
Took a minute to get going, though i personally had no trouble with the pacing. It was very relaxed and about half as funny as some other stories you’ve written.
Quick note, some chapters are missing the bext chapter link at the bottom, TOC is missing anything past 105 (current chapter count is 115).
Keep it going! This is getting quite good.
the problem with the story is TOOOOOOO MUCH TELLING, to the point it’s exactly like a journal, or diary in 3rd POV -_- n’ there isn’t a single event for the course of more than 2-3 decades of the MC’s life -_- it heavily lacks dialog n’ the like, there’s also a bunch of time skip
it’s like a graph of a thown ball, first u become quite interested in the story, n’ become steadily more interested, but then at the end, it drop at exponentially increased rate -_-
no, the problem is not “slow progress” story, as it went through more than 20 years in 30 chaps, the heavy lack of dialogues, events, the heavy proportion of “telling” and all bunch of time skipping ‘re the problems here, especially the “telling” part
Well I suppose the other parts are valid complaints but I’m sure not going to write 2-3 decades of nothing happening. So I skipped it.
What chapter did you read up to? The entire first book is due for some revision… whenever I get around to it, so I was wondering if your criticisms also extend into book 2+
that’s up to the end of chap 1, i kept up reading onto the end of book 2 later
the story ended up go on kinda weird way imo, it started off as western-medieval-magic-world, but later in book 2-3, it turn into somewhat those Chinese martial art fantasy fiction, mixing with western ones
many stuff kinda lefted out, or like, forgotten i guess, for example, there’s elf, demon and such, like western story, but for the whole 3 books, i ‘ve n’t seen anything have to do with elfs, demons, or any other western mythical races at all, except for a half-elf and a demoness :/
and if i remember correctly, the Demon King started off as “someone who control monster”, later, it turn into, hm, well, idk, not even “King of Demons”?
considering the story is more than 200 chaps long ‘n potentially 300-400, it’s kinda a bit too long for a story with solely 1 single plot, to kill the Demon King 😐 for the whole story without not really “notable” sub-plot, it became rather monotonous
the characters interactions, developments also kind of “generic” 😕 there’s nothing really indicate that the MC is actually have the mental age of >100, but nothing really make it like he’s acting out of his 100-year-mental-age either
there’s nothing make it like he’s incrediblely mature for a kid, but he also doesn’t act childish like his physical age either
also, imo, even if he’s >100 years of experience, it doesn’t mean he must be that much ‘age-wise-maturity’ either, since, at some point, people would “reach the limit of maturity” n’ the only thing different is their total amount of wisdom, knowledge, n’ since he’s been living childhood twice, that doesn’t add up either, all he did was experience things for 2nd n’ 3rd time, nothing really add up :p
anyway, there’s so many possible sub-plot, all those conflicts could have been used a little bit more, world building, the number of characters can also be “mobilized” more, for example, there’re indeed a few countries, but in depth? there’s been only a few cities, towns really “invovled” in the story, n’ the range of characters the story revovling around really add up to around ~10 at a given time
actually, it seems i picked up the “half-elf” thing from some other fiction :)) ~210 chaps in make me forget what was happening =))))
but yeah, it’s a bit weird reading mixed-type fiction, especially when it started off seeming to be completely 1 type lol
Yeah there was supposed to be more mentions of it in book 1 but I forgot >_>

Finally finished reading the story. It’s pretty good! Mostly, I’m impressed by how normal/average the protagonist (as well as the other stories you’ve written are). It may not sound like a praise, but it is! There was a fiction called “The Law of Averages” that was supposed to talk about your Average Joe standing out in a world where everyone’s amazing, but fails miserably in their goal (the story’s good though, so I just pretend that the synopsis and title are something else). So color me surprised that I actually get to see a normal protagonist who do normal things, act normally and change normally, no matter how powerful he get or how many times he reincarnated! Not many people manages to get past the “Mary Sue protagonist” wall, although some don’t have to because that’s their best style.
Realism wise, I’m not going to pretend that it’s the most realistic novel ever – it’s not – not that it’s a bad thing in a fantasy web serial. It certainly makes it easier to conclude a novel when you want to. For example, it’s convenient that every opponent the protagonist had is fatally foolish except one (Gerrard, for being the only one smart enough to stay low and kill William at his weakest moment), and I’ve tried writing “smart” characters before only to realize that they can only ever be as smart as yourself, unless you learned how to “hide” text at appropriate moments so that the people will fill in the blanks with their own imagination. Still, if I’d like to offer some criticisms regarding this novel, every enemy being too stupid would be one, and no one having a flawed but still righteous ideology that’s contradictory with the protagonist’s. I imagine the entire story will have to be written around that though, instead of it being the way it is. It’ll also probably be much longer.
Finally, here’s my version of an epilogue to this story.
Mark of the World Protector:
1) Chooses a suitable, passed soul that has little to no ambition to be the mark bearer, which lowers the chances of the chosen soul’s ambition conflicting with “The Objective”.
2) Diminishes the mark bearer’s emotional connection to their origin world.
3) Instills the mark bearer with the need to carry out “The Objective” until it becomes second nature.
4) Reinforces the mark bearer’s need to carry out “The Objective” until it exceeds all other desires – even the desire for self-preservation – as well as those who maintain prolonged contact with it.
5) Enhances the probability of tools conducive to carrying out “The Objective” appearing to the mark bearer.
6) Doesn’t vanish until the mark bearer has carry out “The Objective”. Influence is constantly reinforced as long as the mark bearer is in close proximity with “The World”.
7) A new soul is chosen if the mark bearer is permanently destroyed. One or more souls may be chosen depending on the urgency of “The Objective”.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I agree with your criticisms too… whenever I manage to get my ebook version (that will be closer to a rewrite than an edit) I’ll be able to write some villains better since I can go back and change things… instead of being stuck with something from 300k words earlier 😛
