This review is spoiler free

If you do not want to read the whole review and just wants to know if its worth reading then Yes it is definitely worth reading but do not go with much expectations, It's one of the most enjoyable and entertaining manwhas i've ever read. if you love action sequences then sorry but there isn't much action in the first 50-60ish chapters, if you love a emotional story or a plot that hooks you then sorry there isn't much of that either until very much later on. despite all that is it worth reading? yes i think everyone should at least give this manwha a try because of the profundity and thought provoking nature of it's story. it is one of the deepest and one of the most profound and one of the most scientific manwha you'll find right now.

When i first heard about infinite mage i didn't paid much attention to it and just brushed it off as yet another generic cultivation/magic op mc manwha and while i was mostly right about it, i was also blown away by how ridiculously deep it goes with presenting it's ideas and how it present those profound ideas. it tackles so many ideas scientifically and philosophically that almost every 3 chapters you'll be scratching your head in awe and googling terms. while the first few chapters definitely feels your average generic commoner noble magic story it quickly picks up the pace and tries to subverts your expectations with presenting some core issues and i loved every moment of it but that's also the main problem i have with this manwha, yeah sure it does present very profound and thought provoking ideas it does not flesh them out or introduce a clear answer to them or just straight up forgets about it in the next chapters. I'll now divide this review into it's pros and cons and try to give my honest opinions about it.

PROS
- Extremely well thought out ideas, excellent power system with clear defined explanantions - Well written characters for the most part that makes you want to root for them - absolute great Art and character designs - Interesting philosophical ideas that gives you midnight existential crisis - pacing is fine for the most part, can't really complaint but it does feel rushed on some parts - blends philosophy with science but does not over extend it's ideas to try and push it's answers to the reader - tries to tackle societal, scientific, moral, existential questions in a healthy and fresh new way (through magic) (like full metal alchemist, monster, pandora hearts and land of lustrous)CONS

• tries to incorporate many ideas and storylines very fast with no clear idea on how to flesh them out and give them meaningful conclusions.
• sometimes clearly forget the questions it tries to ask to it's readers never to be mentioned again
• feels like a hot mess of different plot points with no clear direction on where to lead the story
• has no actual main plot it's just discovering magic and trying to understand what it magic
• bland and very little character development given to its main characters
• feels very generic at times
• falls flat most of the time in presenting it's ideas to the readers as it makes the plot very confusing to follow.

IN CONCLUSION

I will conclude this review by saying i whole kindheartedly recommend this manwha to everyone and i ask everyone to at least give it a read even if there are many clear flaws with this manwha. this is the first time i'm writing a review for a piece of media that i'm so passionate about. i acknowledge that there are many flaws with this story but i believe as the story grows the writing and execution will grow as well. i at least acknowledge the hard work the author has put in this thought provoking manwha even if he had no clear way of fleshing out the ideas he presented here. if you are someone who loves thought provoking media and loves the blend of philosophy and science then this manwha is for you. thank you for reading this clumsy review to the end and i wish you a good read.
