Well, overall, the plot has more or less progressed as I expected. Maybe another two or three months? Or even less?
Noah had already reached the level of Sorcerer Supreme, so it could be said that the story was already in its later stages. And yesterday, many readers shared their thoughts on that chapter about the "Council." I saw some of those opinions too.
For example, some readers worried that everyone had selfish desires, that no one could avoid conflicts with others, especially when the Council members had their own factions. Maybe the first generation would be fine, but could the second, third, or even later generations be guaranteed?
Some felt that what the protagonist was doing was fundamentally weakening and dividing Kamar-Taj, but that wasn't really the case. The Archmages specifically named in the book were basically all rather well-known figures. They were all veterans. For example, Hamilton was an elder character in the comics and a follower of The Ancient One in the films.
Mordo was even more of a guy who respected tradition to an excessive degree in the movies, and there was even less need to mention Wong. The other Archmages had not been written about much, but they could generally be regarded as characters similar to them.
The reason they agreed to form the "Council" was even because Noah had tempted them with magic, so the first generation could basically be trusted. As for the second and third generations? The protagonist wasn't stupid. He had retained two extremely important rights: "final decision-making authority and final veto authority."
The latest chapter had mentioned it too. For example: "While I'm here, you can offer me your opinions. Of course, whether I listen is up to me." Fundamentally, Noah was still the same as the previous Sorcerer Supremes.
