    Hello! Sorry if there's not much clarity, but what I remember is:
    - The MC is a magician that holed himself up in his tower(?) (that is undetectable or something maybe?), to read all the books about magic in the world.
    - When he finishes and leaves, looking for interesting new magics, he saves a girl in a forest I think? - she mentions about all the magic books going missing or something since quite a while ago (his fault ofc)
    - MC knows all the important people like the demon lord I think. He sends a bird(?) familiar(?) to deliver some letters to those people. He wondered whether some of them are still alive (whether died of old age yet?)
    - Nothing to do with reincarnation or anything I believe, probably a Japanese web/light novel
    - I don't recall reading very far in - perhaps it wasn't translated very far?

    Thanks for any help :)

    it sounds hella interesting. then i read that bit, and now i'm really, really, really hoping it's not a light shounen harem novel...

    edit: sorry, OP, i dunno the novel, but imma read that fo sho. the premise does sound a little like Ze Tian Ji tho, he reads all the collected books before leaving the boondocks for the city.

    Can you please elaborate? Was it due to release rate or the story was bad?

    Wow, so quick!! Thanks so much, It's been on my mind and been looking for it on and off before I finally decided to ask on NUF~

    Erm... I'm not sure what you mean there o_O? Well, a quick Google search tells me there's 1 scanlated chapter from 3 years ago... Unless you mean advertising to get it picked up?

    No problem. I just read it, fresh of my mind.

    Chapter 1 of the manga is just released today. There is always this tactic to bring attention to a title when a new release or adaptation ia announced. And most if not all, they are done by passive members. So, you see why I came to this conclusion?

    Not saying it's bad. Just, expected :)

    Wait, I'm actually confused? asdfghjklkjhasdfghl OK I am being serious here, I did not actually know that the first chapter was just scanlated - in fact, I might have even found out after all this time and not have asked here the next time I check for the latest updates on manga to read. Though seriously, is there any way I can even show that I didn't do this on purpose :unsure:

    It just wasn't to my liking.

    99% of WNs have terrible story; it's really just a matter of whether or not one particular type appeals to you or not.

    I give everything a chance, because sometimes you find gems, but this one wasn't it.
