I love the characters in this story, particularly the MC. I am always yearning for the next chapter to see what happens next, whether there is a cliffhanger or not, and the author does a great job of bringing tension when it's appropriate. The plot is good, building up slowly and progressively, sometimes meeting expectations and others throwing a twist or surprise after well-done set-up. Based on that fact, I'd give it high marks. I'm not good at characterizing style, but "solid" is another good word for it - it's nothing dramatic, with plenty of stretches of dialogue, and yet the prose itself grabs me and draws me in, a feeling I have only experienced a few times before. The English is very solid, with typos and grammar issues close to nonexistent. That's how I would summarize this novel, in a way: gripping.
#Paranoid tabs series
Normally I'm not interested in reviewing a series until after it has finished, but after finishing the first volume, I am so gripped by this series that I feel compelled to write one. I'm thrilled to see where our Paranoid Mage will take us next. While there are only 11 Chapters out as of now, this novel has made for itself a really good foundation to build upon. The world feels wide and while we haven't seen much of the magical side we have seen parts where magic and mundane coexist and that has been a lot of fun to read about. I could genuinely see fanfictions written about this if im being honest. Characters also aren't just discarded after you see them once with some of them that were mentioned once returning to play a bigger role. The characters are all fleshed out and feel different from one another. It is easy to read while still maintaining a reasonably wide vocabulary.
The grammar is fantastic and I haven't noticed any mistakes as of yet. He kills only when he actually has to and never when it is just for power or information. Despite what many of the edgy readers over on WN would wan't he is not cold or a mass murderer. The protagonist is not only smart but also calculative and extremely paranoid about not being caught. Along the road he learns magic and finds uses for even the limited amount that he has. It is a fast, but not too fast, paced story about a guy to didn't wan't to live under the system.
If you liked "Catch Me If You Can" then you are most likely also going to like this. So thanks 4 the chapters and insert kylo ren "MORE!" meme It's well written and the MC has a very relatable viewpoint that makes it easy to sympathize with, personally I'm very into the magical aspects of urban fantasy and this creation/novel has all the signs of turning into another literary work that will bring many many hours of joy and entertainment hopefully across many years. So que making himself disappear from both normal and hopefully magical surveillance, getting to know his magical powers and being neighborly with the local "alternative" community while trying to keep a "low profile" and getting ready to survive in a new magical world that he's slowly getting to know from the outskirts, limited by his fear of exposure and lack of basic and advanced restricted knowledge. The magical MIB takes him away to be recruited/trained/conscripted with little explanations and patience, and he's not happy about it and decided nope, he's not going along with it. The paranoid mage so far is the tale of a "normal" human living his mostly normie life, until he comes to a solitary point in his life when he discovers his magic and some of the magical world discovers him.īasically he was always seeing the abyss and by hapstance? The abyss noticed he could and stared back. Let me start by thanking the author for his previous hard work, and now after giving proper respect where respect is definitely due lets continue with the review of the paranoid mage.ĭespite being only 6 chapters in I'm hooked and want to read more!
