Mother of Learning

A satisfying fusion of progression fantasy and time loop shenanigans. The story cleverly avoids the pitfalls that usually come from messing with time with a justification that nestles seamlessly into the world and doesn't feel contrived. The plot is also remarkably cohesive for a gargantuan web serial. By the end, it's clear the author had the whole story in mind all along. Despite executing its core promise well, it has a myriad of weaknesses. If this is the type of novel that greatly appeals to you, you will likely be able to overlook its flaws and have an immensely enjoyable experience. If you are merely looking to explore new genres I would recommend Cradle as a more well-rounded entry point to progression fantasy.

If you're not familiar with progression fantasy, it's a genre where the focus is on the main character consistently growing in strength and skill over the entire narrative. You won't find much in the way of character work or anything in the way of polished prose, but, if you enjoy clever applications of magical abilities in a fleshed out fantasy world, give this behemoth a shot.
