Summary

A brief description of the manhwa Return of the Banished Archmage:

“I will have my revenge, no matter what.”

Three thousand years ago, in an ancient Kingdom of Magic, Asuma, an archmage of unrivaled skill, saved the world from otherworldly invaders and became a savior. Yet, fearing his power, the king banished and ultimately killed him. However, Asuma’s soul returned to modern times.

In the Magic Academy, simply known as the “Academy,” where modern magic combined with science is the standard, Asuma is reborn as a student named Shiobana Asuma. He vows revenge against the descendants of those who drove him to his death all those years ago. Combining his mastery of ancient magic with modern, science-based magic, he develops unprecedented hybrid magic…

“For mere students aspiring to be mages in this era to challenge me—you’re ten thousand years too early.”

…and thus begins his tale of his revenge.

It’s weird that authors so often think there would be a recognizable connection between the people thousands of years ago and their direct descendants. It’s rare for an ethnic group to even be vaguely stable for that long, never mind a family.

OP mage gets reincarnated into the future and basically is OP from the get go. It is not a premise I like.

I would not have read it if not for me getting curious from the rating. And as suspected, ratings on this site are unreliable.

The writing is not good, but it is not that bad either. Let me put it this way, it is a lot better than some of the 4+ star rated Chinese manhua. And the art is decent.

There is definitely some cringe (mainly how hostile the students and teachers are for no reason), and ofc the flaws of the premise.
But the story itself is not hard to read or nor does it skip a lot so it is not like you will wonder “how did we get here”. It is fast paced for sure but not the worst ive seen.

And if you are wondering about the people giving it a 1 star.
1st of, the description is wrong, MC is not really revenge driven after reincarnation. So ofc some of them are mad that the MC doesnt kill his opponents, even though he is a wise sage of the past and he is fighting kids.
2nd. People are nitpicking for no reason, like 1 potato complaining that current day magic is called modern magic instead of present day magic. Like he is unaware of the fact that we call the age we live now the Modern Age. :hihi:

So yeah, there you have it. If you are looking for bronze, you will find bronze. If I had to compare it to other manga/manhwa on this site, a more accurate rating would be between 2.5 and 3.5. A 1.6 rating would be fair if the highrated trash out there would get an accurate rating as well.

…… It’s meh but the rating is questionable, wouldn’t say it’s a lot better than that but 1.4 is not fair, only cuz the art is good and the overall concept is not thatbad bad?I think 🤔 maybe 1.8 to 1.9 would describe it better but still not a good work

I understand the 1.5 rating. Sadly we can’t give a negative number with a minus in front to stars on this one.

spoiler

Like the story starts where mc saves the world and then he is ended by his friends and the king. Then mc reincarnates 3000 years in the future and have basically all of his friends who stabbed him in the back there but as next generation where the circle have gone full on to born all of the old friends or comrades from the past.

Basically the body mc land is with the same name as he was 3000 years ago and was bullied to the point that the guy made ending for himself. When mc then go to school of magic and first see one of the bullies that was one of the dude who’s ancestor was mc comrade and back stabber. And all he does is give him a punch. Then same day meets another dude who next day attempts to end mc life with illusions 2 times in a row and then mc does nothing to the dude. Like not even take away his ability to use magic. But just talks for 5 minutes and make him part of his new faction or what ever. Like MC didnt learn nothing from his past life.

And then again 1 day goes by and another one come who actually in a duel use magic to end mc life and then it’s full chapter of flashbacks of past life like we didnt have 2 chapters in a row of that already.

Basically mc didnt learn nothing from past life and didn’t evolve balls to do the thing that should be done. Like if you get attacked then you attack back and eliminate the threat either by ending the life or take away their ability to do harm to others. As they are the nobles who think they are better then others and all need to be under their feet cause they have power.

While after reincarnation to the future 3000 years there is no threat to the world or anything where it’s needed this super powerful mage. It feels like the chance to reincarnate was to be able to have revenge to the people who back stabbed him. But he does not do that even. Magic is degraded in time but still powerful to stop ancient magic that makes no sense

I can see why it’s rated so low. Mc is dumb and boring. Progress is slow due to way too many flashbacks, 2 chapters so far aren’t even the right series. MC also seems relatively weak for being a 3k old archmage in a world of regressed magic.

In a story like this the MC needs to be op but to make it interesting not every problem should be solved by being stronger. It’s basically the opposite in this.

Soo by the summary of it, it just seems the Mc has a thought process of a 5yr old lmao.

I love the idea of the story, I wish they just fleshed out between scenes and stories. I don’t like one action to another then resolved quickly. Drawn out more of the interactions and conflicting events. I stopped at ch. 3. So maybe I’m wrong and it’ll probably be better at future chp. idk. The first 3 chp. didn’t really got me hook though.
