Comments of chapter undefined of SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Naaaah, sorry but I'm not going along with this. Alphonse and the mother directly caused this entire situation by forcing a child to make a bet to try and take away his -dream-. As if that wasn't bad enough, they make the condition to win a surprise magic duel with a fully trained, adult mage. What happened to just showing off a spell in a controlled, safe environment? That would've been bad enough, but no... They know it's the kid's dream, they know he's a genius, they have to know he's going to try his absolute best to win. Somehow, they're completely unprepared for a powerful attack from the genius during a magic duel. And what's the fully grown adult's response to something going wrong during the duel that he set up with a child? To yell at that child for not being 100% in control of his magic, blaming the child for almost killing his own mother (by accident in a situation the adults set up), and hitting the child. Alphonse is a ****, him and the kid's mother are dumb and irresponsible (what they did would be criminal in a halfway decently run society) and I'm

For a great sage, he acts too much like a child. But ehh, it is character development

Pushed alot of blame on someone who's only been able to use magic for 5 years and was made to fight with everything he had to not give up his dream, not even to succeed in his dream, but to just not give it up. Yes, he put himself and others in danger. I'm sorry, but you put someone between a rock and a hard place, then them trying their hardest to remove the rock is just to be expected. Any danger, damages, or injuries resulting from that are more the failure of the teacher than the fault of the student who is expected AND incentivized to try their hardest. At this point we don't know if this was a "test your resolve" type thing or if they'd actually try to force him to become a scholar.

I understand the character development but they don't seem to care too much about his feelings either.

so first he hits him and now he's hugging him, classic signs of an abusive narcissist, you need immediate physciatric evaluation

This arc was awkward, the mc's behaving like he is 10 years old even though he is 60+ years old, someone could say that it's because in his past life he just dedicated himself to magic but it wouldn't make much sense, the people mature with age, time and contemplation other than human interaction (which he had too, as we saw at the end of his past life where he was surrounded by many people and had a high status). Other than that, his family and tutor are extremely irrational in many senses, the people are no always rational and logical but you can't just realistically make the worst decision one over the other many times. It's not realistic, it's awkward and it's forced (not only this tho, from the start of the novel everything has been unrealistic and forced like when the mc's mom didn't want to give him normal books (instead of child books) as if that made any sense, or the fact that the mc is losing most of his time learning useless knowledge instead of using his precious time to practice and learn things that he doesn't already know. What is worst is that very soon we will be seeing the cliche "academy arc" I guess. In my opinion, those are aspects to improve, most of the times the quality of a story is decided by these little details

finally the long awaited slap of reality. thanks for the chapter author..

this left a really bad taste tbh. they said it themselves that they know how much he love magic but then suddenly come slapping him with family and other people feeling bs. it's one thing that he figured it out on his own but this is pretty lame

Hm, the way how you made mc realise the mistake was fantastic! But i think alphonse reactions last chapter was a bit over. Other than that, it's really great author!

Awe some

SOooo, he is not responsible for his mother, the much more experienced mage and adult, having made a basic mistake in her spell. You give a kid a sword and you better take precautions. Feels a bit heavy handed how this was done.

wish he just answered yes and continued to disregard bystanders.

I regret reading this chapter. Feels exhausted. Time skip, test for MC, one failure and now we have a big tragedy, MC cries and realizes the mistake of a lifetime. It could have been written much better. Add that I did not even fully understand what the MS error was. MC almost hurt others? all magicians have this risk. Did the MC neglect the people who loved him? he loves magic the most, it makes sense that he would pay more attention to magic. What is his fault? I don't see it.

It is just stupid to experiment in a live combat situation, but also pretty stupid when they not teach him to use magic in a safe manner. No one in the right mind use untested weapons in the military. Why is this different in a field of magic?

emotional

It wasn't his fault. He did what they asked and won the bet. That doesn't seem selfish to me as his dream was on the line.

the teacher and mother are both stupid.

Love the character development

For a great sage he character disappoint me. So I'm just gonna ignore the fact that its his second life and just read this novel ahead cause the 'spellcraft' thing seems interesting
