12/11/2023 0 Comments For love of magic by noodlehammer![]() I like a powerful MC, but I like it to feel earned and it felt earned in this fic even though a fair analysis reveals that it was not.Īnyways, runes. ![]() It just felt so refreshing to see the MC motivated to acquire power on his own and reaching out for it despite dangers, compared to your typical "oh hi ROB, thanks for the Cheat, now excuse me while I constantly bitch about you like an ungrateful shit". It is a well known practice that is highly illegal and well known to have disastrous consequences such that no sane person will do it (heck, the potters even have a room for it with all the equipment, it is also mentioned in both the black family library and hogwarts library forbidden section, and one of his teachers told him to never do this because it is both illegal and bound to result in his demise).Įxample drawbacks include turning into a dementor, exploding, becoming a psychopath, anger management problems, horniness, or just regular death. People have complained about how as a child he just invents the idea of carving runes unto his own body and nobody has come up with the idea before, this is not true. Although in retrospect there is a well hidden flaw there. I very much liked that he had to take risks and claw for power instead of just having it handed to him. So I'd say it's an interesting case study to look at and see where you need some sort of explanation to prevent an easy magic cheat.īut I agree that he was just too overpowered and that killed any kind of conflict and tension that could have existed. Because they have absolutely no way of stopping him. It also highlighted just how easy it would be to control somebody who completely opposes magic like those Muslims he terrorized. And I thought that his political actions were not unreasonable given what his character was established as, sociopathic, edgy and with an I'm-better-than-you mentality and had so much power that nobody could seriously oppose him anyways. Because for all that most of us seem to disagree with him on things like religion, politics and their interaction with magic, these are topics that are important to the worldbuilding of a good fic. Maybe most absolutely terrible fics are not hated on that much because everybody sensible stops reading after the first paragraph when the author can't spell or use basic grammar and more people actually read this one because Noodlehammer can write like a normal person.Īnd there was always something going on, no 10k words on a subject like shopping that nobody cares about (as far as I remember). I mean it's obviously not a beauty but all the hating seems a bit much. I thought the fic was amusing and had some interesting ideas on magic (amongst all the super op stuff that Harry does for fun) like that permanent magic and especially wards depend on ownership.
