    Didn't ROB say he would reincarnate with no memories?

    Oh, thanks for letting me know. Still find a lot of novels on here that are jank or have poor English, enough to ruin the immersion. This one's pretty good in that aspect.

    What chapter did you get to? What didn't you like specifically? What did you like about hp magical journey that you don't like about this? Is the genre / pacing different to what you expected or prefer? It's hard for people to understand what's wrong with a novel if you just review bomb without actually saying what the problem is,and neither is it fair to the author who is probably looking for actual constructive criticism. Especially if you've read their other works.

    It's like reading a slow life novel and complaining there's no epic 15 chapter long battles arcs. Love the work so far and I hope the author doesn't bend to Overpowered mc or 1star review goblins

    Story: How does the story compare to naruto and other fan fics? MC is a lot weaker than most other novel I've read so far, and that's where 90% of the current negative reviews are from. if you like a strong super saiyan god, god, king, gold, black, red, blue, green, indigo, then this novel probably isn't for you, atleast not before chapter 100. I love the weak protag and honestly hope that when this novel does end He's still just a jonin/ elite jonin at best. I also like how even though he has knowledge of Naruto he's not got an wiki walk through installed. I've seen the naruto anime 2/3 times and I really couldn't tell you every little thing thats happened and that's without the pressure/ trauma/ time that the MC has. The novel offers a completely different and novel perspective to the naruto-verse with the hidden side of the leaf, and showing where and what the genin of the village do when they're not naruto himself. Charector develop is good, and you don't get thrown too many side characters that it gets hard to keep track. I like how the novel doesn't just give the mc fire and lightning chakra natures or a kekkei genki like literally every other novel I've read does. The novel feels well translated and doesn't have the janky feeling some novels have. I don't usually do reviews, I just felt that the current reviews were being quite unfair, simply giving 1 star because the protagonist doesn't instantly start bench pressing planets. The novel is about hardship, hard work and determination. Rome wasn't built in a day and naruto doesn't have flintstone gummies. Keep up the good work. For payment of my sparkling review, I'll expect 100 chapters new by next week as payment, tytyty /s

    God like protagonist in the narutoverse. The Protagonist enters the narutoverse at aged 4 as sasuke's little brother just as his older brother itachi murders his entire clan. He then proceeds to become godly in a single say by "using weights itachi could never use" gaining the body of might guy within 3/4 hours of weight training. His chakra powers are also insane with his uchihas signature B rank flame justsu reaching over 125 meters at aged 5 (as strong as madaras S rank flame art). Overall it feels like a generic op power fantasy/ wish fulfilment novel. I'd usually try to force myself to read most if not all of a novel before reviewing but I had read till chapter 12 and couldn't bring myself to read anymore.

    The writing quality is pretty bad due to poor translation or otherwise, add this together with the poor wording and it makes for a hard read. Most of the story boils down to people shouting "who are you!? So powerful!? Unphatomable (unfathomable)!?" or the mc just runs till his system (instantly) throws him some bs way to win. Got to chapter 35 hoping it was just teething issues before I couldn't read anymore. Overall 2/10 **

    It's a shame the story has come to an end due to the circumstances of the author. Would love to see this being picked back up once things get better, hopefully with a rewrite of the final chapter so it's doesn't seem as rushed.

    Quick caution before review. May contain slight spoilers. Writing quality: nothing to say here decent overall. Story development: I Really enjoyed see naruto from a different perspective/ villages point of view, however there are some points that have put me off,some of which I'll get into more in charector design. Story pacing feels rushed. some parts if the story are completely skipped over, while other areas of the story I would consider bland or unimportant to the plot are explored a little too much. Charector Design: only really going to talk about MC here. MC changes are throughout the chapters have been way too drastic, not sire whether to pin this on time skips or simpley the lack of character development. He quire literally goes from only being able to use a small percentage of his power to hokage levels. There's also the fact he's hearing "voices which have always helped him" I have no idea where this came from, and from reading chapter comments, no one else does either. My final gripe is his sudden change to "claim a women" it was so out of place from the mc I started to question if the authors younger, edgy, chunibyu, sex deprived, sibling had taken over. Update stability: it's been a few months since the last update, wouldn't expect regular release as of now. World background: The story has been adapted from Naruto. My tl:dr is that its an OK read from chapter 1 to 50ish, but feels like the author lost their drive in the latter half. Worth a read if you're bored or into the naruto fandom.
