If you are a bibliophile, the concept is already golden. Get powerful by reading books to cultivate? Sign me up!
The author's prose is clean and descriptive without becoming flowery or dwelling on irrelevant things.
The characters either feel real or feel like they are becoming real (It's early in the story and we have only one PoV, it's hard to know other characters quickly). I really like our protag, and there are some interesting mysteries.
I feel like the pacing could be a little slower; I wouldn't mind a little bit more time to breathe simply because I want to see the cultivation system explored, but I can't say I've never done similar. Still, it feels just a bit hectic for now, so I am hoping for some more time to be reflective soon.
The grammar is pretty much perfect, the only thing I've seen that I'd change is because of different styles, neither is 'correct'. I prefer singular-s word possessives to end in s's, but the title is Magus' instead of Magus's. Different style guides conflict on this. If that's the worst I have to say about grammar/punctuation, I think the author is doing pretty damn good. :)
There's a potential romance, which I am generally in favor of, and it looks like it could be a good build-up. And I say potential because they could also vibe as friends (which is a good start to a relationship anyway). I am pretty sure it's not going to be the driving force of the story though, for those who want romance to be relatively low-key in their stories.
And really, I just like it.
