    Why It Should Get Picked Up: it already has a manga but no one seems to be translating the novel
    Description: Zeff Einstein spent his whole life mastering red magic and was finally recognized for it, yet a new spell that was soon created revealed that his talent for red magic was his lowest. Bitter at the thought of all his wasted effort, he creates a spell to send his old self back in time to his younger body and together with the determined "genius" mage Milly and the handsome swords-woman Claude, he intends to master magic more efficiently this time.

    In chapter 2 of the manga, it seems like it goes away from 'efficiently', though...

    The manga chapters are a pretty good read and the artwork isn't bad. I'd give this a shot if it were translated.

    I just didn't understand the logic in the first couple pages (the backstory)
    They are like.... Oh your the strongest red mage ever but this kid has bigger potential then you, soooooo we are gonna give your title to him.
    the hell? that logic..... makes my brain sizzle

    the first few pages are basically the mc realizing he mastered the attribute that he is absolute shit in. its like a natural born mage is brought up as a warrior

    The manga does seem interesting. Let's see how it goes later though.

    To be honest, some parts seem weird. Even if his potential is limited, until there's a red magican who can surpass him, I don't see why they had to strip his title away. He ended up changing his goal too easily as well. From pursuing efficient magic to mingling with adventurers.

    I almost feel like the manga should end after the 2 chapters. It seems interesting but I feel it will follow common troup styles. The ending of chapter 2 makes it a good short story.

    The art is kinda rough though.

    Well I kind of understand that.. but actually what I remembered something like 'the title will be reserved for future children who has better talent than you' meaning: someone who can reach 99/99. Still, how the king disregard the mc achievement is indeed weird.

    What does that mean? That he shouldn't have trained in "red magic" but should have chosen another kind of magic even though he's a master of red magic?
    Or that when he thought he was a master of red magic he discovered that he's just a beginner far from mastery?
