Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse by Adui

Finally.....for goddamm sake..this novel is showing shades of going to end😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

No compelling plot/ story line. Simply monsters killing innocents and children, MC spams spells using infinite mana cheat. Put this on repeat including MC angry that he is powerless to save everyone.

Powerscaling in the apocalypse.

The author of this book simply asks: "How OP can it get?"

Author is insane.

TDLR; The author turned their novel into shameless self-insert trash in the recent chapters along with it becoming a pointlessly drawn out money grab since the early chapters in the 2000's.

I have tasted the poison from the much more recent chapters as I treated this novel like the trashy popcorn novel that is but it has simply turned far too toxic. If I am to give reasoning for they why then one simply needs to read a single chapter around the 3750-ish chapter where the author decides to fully ruin the novel by switching it to become a first person narration to fulfill the author's pathetic power fantasies.

Now, while it may seem rude of me to state it is such a manner I will not take it back as I feel, as a reader, I have more than endured the literal middle school level knock off Marvel wannabe power scaling for most if not the entire story. Again, I treated this novel as the worthless popcorn read that it is but that was because at the very least one could turn off their brain and just loosely enjoy the journey but that all gets ruined by the author quiet literally just wanting to embody his MC so much that he switches the narrative style with some absolute bullshit explanation that Noah does the generic and cliche 'i aM tHe WrItEr oF mY oWn StOry' and that is basically it. It does not help how pathetically attached and afraid of their literal embodiment of a Gary Stu getting into any actual danger that they are so proud and shameless about writing absurd and legitimate Deus Ex Machina events back to back while gargling their own MC's sack since they knew it would just turn into an eventual self-insert trash novel. Not even getting into the author's seemingly greedy attitude since they themself never give any solid end date for the novel so it shows to me that the author is just shamelessly milking it since he doesn't want to do anything actually helpful or entertaining.

I could give many more of the faults I find in this novel but honestly just the timing reading it and giving the author attention was a waste of expectations and delivery. It might at the very least serve as a decent idea spring board but I do not recommend anyone to read through it unless you genuinely have nothing else.

It's so funny coming back to the comments sections after a while, I remember calling this novel out for being way overdrawn and milking its own power system as I couldn't see an engaging novel as it kept on going. In the early chapters of 1300 when Noah was already Universal and encroaching on Universal + and half the religious idiots of this novel came hate commenting and cussing me out, now as the dust settles and it becomes ever so obvious that the power scaling makes no sense, the sense of wonder has grown lackluster as everything is described with stupidly convulated words fished from a thesaurus that mean "stronger" or "power" or "universal" or "reality, relativity". It's the curse and burden that comes when you make a hit novel I guess becasue the author can't simply catch lightning in a bottle for every novel he makes he is stuck on this hamster wheel of catering to the fans and thats all it all eventually becomes after 2000+ chapters. I rememebr reading around chapter 2768 when there were rumors about the novel only now getting close it its half way point and decided ultimately to drop it, if you are ok with being force fed mediocre I say endure my fellow brothers. this novel started out a solid 8-9/10 but because of how it was handled it has gone down for me to a 6/10. Too long , the MC doesn't grow that much throughout the novel unless you think his power level means character growth then OK. Side characters are just story devices nothing more, there's no true sense of conflict or tension after a while as Noah essentially is handed the authors pen and impacts casuality in the novel in any shape or form, its a 12 year olds power fanatasy wet dream without much though of and after he gets stronger now what. If its your first time reading it I say enjoy and relish in the new experience of a high paced action filled cultivation/ power fantasy but if you decide to drop it no one blames you. Monotony tends to dull the brain.

Evaluation: [not defined] "dropped". [Overall opinion( some points )]: I stopped reading at chapter 18. Enough events occurred to clearly show that the main character is a foolish individual. Even if things improve later and he becomes smarter, it won't change what has already happened.. The main character knows that he needs to keep his rapid power growth hidden until he becomes stronger. However, his actions contradict this statement. He sells almost everything he loots immediately and repeatedly clears dungeons without pause, completing them quickly multiple times. It was said that when the monsters in the dungeon increase enough, a portal breaks through and the monsters can pass through it. But the main character goes through the same dungeons several times, and his enemies are the same. It is not logical. [Illogical moments( some points )]: Chapter 8. The main character is aware that repeatedly clearing a dungeon changes the color of the portal. He enters a certain dungeon several times within two hours, after which the portal's color changes. Then he sells almost all of his loot. The protagonist doesn't question whether it's normal for an "F" rank hunter to behave as if he's a "C" rank hunter. He also sells large quantities of dungeon loot all in one place. Furthermore, after being discovered and forced to help with a dungeon, he is surprised at how quickly he was found.

It was great, one of the best novels and if you are looking for some overpowered protagonist look no further, you won't find anything more insane.

Adui's power scale is amazing to read, it's like drugs, until it isn't. I remember reading the first 400 chapters years ago in basically a day. Now? I can hardly read 10-20 chapters a day. The power scaling is so out of hands that the novel is just words to me at this point, no fancy fight going in my head cause.. I just can't. Noah was by chapter . Now? we are at chapter almost 4000. fighting at the scale of was already hard to imagine but now? I don't even know the hell is going on.

Yesterday I read Adui's other new work (I can assimiliate everything), and it gave me back the feeling of why he is one of my favourite authors. I can only hope this one gets completed soon so he can focus on other works..
