https://www.novelupdates.com/series/genius-warlock/ -------- Description The tale of Oliver. An orphan boy from a Mine, in 19th century Europe, filled with Magic ---------------- The description is kinda bad and doesn't really tell you much about the story, the name doesn't help either and just makes you think it's gonna be generic <.< The protagonist has dulled emotions and is quite apathetic, driven mainly by his need for survival and his intense thirst for knowledge about black magic, emotions and more. This leaves him quite naive about the ways of the world and human interactions.The characters and the world building has been interesting and there are traces of character development. Not too much has been shown about the magic systems yet but black magic is fun with how it is based around extracting emotion.
And with how the MC is psychopathic so he is also learning about emotions alongside the reader. This story is filled with criminals and our MC is so...much more compared to them. It's fucked up...but at the same time, I can't stop reading. Huh, this sounds more like a review lol
