Read this on Royal Road. Good stuff.

The Menocht Loop is story following Ian Dunai a flawed protagonist who we see slowly evolve over many chapters.

This story's main charm is the interactions between people and introspection of our protagonist. In a way it reminds me of Brandon Sanderson's way of writing characters.

The magic system is also very interesting. It puts a twist on the classic four elements magic system with some other types added in. And once the story really gets into the more advanced aspects of magic it really gets intense.

From Royal Road, I caught up with releases early on during the book and quit unfortunately, but I recall it being a very high quality read, I'd personally recomend it to those who are into a OP MC, with issues outside of not being directly powerful enough. Or if your bored, it's good enough that even if it isn't your favorite genre the chances are you will at least enjoy it for a bit.

It won't let me rate it for some reason, I tried giving it a 5, but it's not working.

This is a gold mine of a novel.

Characters have many dimensions and not cardboard cut outs, even the minor characters are well-done, that we meet throughout the novel.

The power system is unique and described well (the ones that we have introduced anyway) and the MC is op but not in your face way.

There first arc of how he got the power, which is very interesting and the second arc is ongoing but I believe it'll be very bloody, as there were hints of how the MC can be even he get mad (he can be utterly ruthless when he wants to be).

Anyway, it's a really well written Novel and I recommend it.
