    Hello,I've been running out of some novels to read recently. I stumbled upon the wizard world, sorcerer's journey, and age of adepts

    I finished the entirety of wmw, but I have not much of a clue on the other three novels. I read the first couple chapters of each of them, and obviously that isn't much at all. I know that the wizard's world came first, but is it good? Age of adepts, same thing. Is it better or worse than wmw, and is it worth to pick it up? I believe a sorcerer's journey does not have an ai chip, but it is similar to wmw? Anyways, some insights into whether or not it is worth to pick them up is appreciated

    Out of the three Wizard World is the best. . . Not counting the fact that the other two, age of adepts and sorcerers journey, are not currently being translated.

    Wizard World: The 'original' from which WMW's author plagiarized from. Naturally, it is a bit worse. The protagonist isn't outright evil like Leylin, first couple of chapters are spent in some backwater nobility with magic tests, MC is a bit dumb, the works. But the worldbuilding and magical locations are amazing, the horror while meeting ghosts is comparable to actual horror novels and the MC is capable of scheming a bit.
    3/5

    BTW I'd recommend Coiling Dragon.

    I'd recommend reading all of them although depending what you looking for Age of Adepts is more advanced and like WMW even though it was based on WW but yhh read all of them if you can tbh they all got their certain flavours

    Read WMW for "smart from the start" MC
    Read WW for "weak to strong" MC

    Haven't read AoA and SJ yet.
    But if you like those, you might like Throne of Magical Arcana ( but the author won't explain the cheat (yet?))

    Age of adepts is like wmw but with a stupid mc and focus on info dump. I did not like the mc but the side character are cool.

    WMW is definitely better than Age of Adepts, but i sure wish someone would pick it up and finish the translation. Considering the popularity of WMW, i am very surprised that nobody picked it up. Especially considering its not a Qidian novel, so no worries about drama.

    WMW is obviously the best of them WW is a little slow with ur typical MC to some extent AoA has a pretty funny MC it has potential but falls low to WMW SJ is Definitely great but is not being tld and has great potential

    Wizard world is the best written. It has the greatest characterization but the main character is a bit lame. Still cool. I felt wmw lacked details and had a general lack of meaningful interactions. I haven't read any of sorcerers' journey.

    WMW is the best, no doubt there. Wizard World is not too bad, but i don't feel like the cheat chip there is used properly, the story may as well not have the chip without be hurt. Age of Adepts still has some work to do.
