The most fun parts of Drug-Eating Genius Mage (1300+ chapters novel, still ongoing) I can remember are: Davi; Lenoch writing his first thesis as Evan Vylun in one night as an alibi and it accidentally attracting far more attention than expected; Lenoch’s trauma of stairs; Lenoch’s reputation (with Van’s always worsening in unexpected ways, then Evan Martinez doing the same kinds of things but his reputation went in a completely opposite direction).
Oliviera: If you wanted to care about your reputation, you should have done it years ago.
Van, weakly resisting: But, the Magic Tower… *resigns himself due to a lack of arguments*
There’s also the time Evan Vylun accidentally moved in the floor under Evelyn.
Evan Vylun: I shouldn’t practice magic for the time being. For now, let’s observe her for a few days, then we’ll make a plan to ask when she plans to move out without attracting suspicion…
Davi, finding the situation absurd: Why are you going so far for such a small matter? You just need to ask her.
Evan Vylun: I see you don’t want to sleep in your fox house tonight.
Davi, threatened: I’ll start analyzing her living patterns and collect information for the plan right away.
Or Victor’s personality. The Van vs Victor and Van vs Evan Vylun and Van vs Evan Martinez were also epic.
Evelyn, who knows the truth: What crazy thing are you doing?!
When they needed high-ranking mages for the Magic Tower.
Van, not understanding why Jenny and the fire mage are reacting like that: That’s not true, I know a lot of high-ranking mages. For example…
Van: *realizes all the high-ranking mages he knows are either enemies or dead (because he killed them) and falls into silence*
Jenny: *clears her throat* …It’s not a big deal, we’ll find another way. *tries to reassure him*
And when Van invited the mercenaries to a party at his house and the mercenaries were paranoid saying 'Does he even know what a party is?' and totally panicking. Or when Van demonstrated amazing ice magic and Evelyn caught him looking at a beginner guide on ice magic for debutants (that he had received as a reward from her/the agents not long before). Or Evan Martinez watching Lapis sneakily tasting the herbs Evelyn was eating due to curiosity and spitting it out due to the bad taste during a meeting. And Evan Martinez being 'I told you I don’t care about the Blue Eyes anymore!' (*proceeds to kill someone who insults Lapis*) while everyone thinks the contrary. And when Van first met Peisha at a casino (I’m so glad he kept her alive later).
There’s also Lenoch having a somewhat cold/detached personality but not being in control at all in an emotional situation and running away from it (like *Aris suspecting Van is Evan Vylun and testing him*, *Van passing all the tests far too well*, *Aris suspecting him even more*; or *Evan Martinez proceeding to turn the city upside down to prepare a fight against Van with the main goal (of choosing this way) being to separate the two identities in everyone’s eyes*); the sheer extent to which he can go to protect his secrets; when he was called 'Balkan’s Demon King' and the city council just gave him the mayor(?) position to 'appease' him; the citizens’ public opinion (they always say absurd things and it’s fun); and most of all, his different identities.
The 'hiding his identity' part is really the best part of this novel, and it’s so well written, and it’s so fun. Of course, there are a lot of other fun things I didn’t think of here (since 1300 chapters are a lot and I can’t remember every detail) and the main character is always so cool!
