Zhou Yan immediately decided to drag the body back and perform a thorough autopsy. The black-robed man suddenly opened his eyes, and his ugly face fell to the ground with a “snap”. “You don’t have that kind of setting where I have to be responsible for you when I see your actual face, do you?” The black-robed man narrowed his eyes and sniffed gently, pulling up a flamboyant smile at Zhou Yan, “If you stay here any longer, I’m afraid it will be me who will have to be responsible.” A scientist from the future with advanced science and technology transmigrates to the backward era of magic, encountering powerful magicians, hideous and ugly magical beasts, and a completely out-of-control pheromone… He also depends on science to survive, and appreciates the fierce sparks generated by the collision of science and magic.

## My Thoughts on Defeating Magic With Science "Defeating Magic With Science" is a web novel that initially pulled me in with its unique premise: a scientifically-minded protagonist transmigrating into a magical world and shaking things up. The clash between science and magic, the inherent power dynamics of a magic-dominated society, and the potential for a morally complex narrative were all incredibly appealing. Did the novel deliver on all fronts? Well, let's dive in. ### First Impressions The early chapters had me hooked. The idea of magic users forming a feudalistic society due to their inherent power was a clever twist on fantasy tropes. I found myself intrigued by the potential for political intrigue and the power struggles that would naturally arise. The set-up, with our "science so advanced it may as well be magic" MC, promised a compelling disruption of the established order. ### What Works Well The core concept remains a strong point throughout the story. The dynamic between the MC and ML, despite some issues, offers a classic "opposites attract" scenario that can be quite engaging. I appreciated the story's relatively short length; it doesn't overstay its welcome, and ultimately delivers a complete, trigger-free story with character growth and a happy ending. ### Areas of Concern Unfortunately, the execution doesn't quite live up to the initial promise. The pacing feels rushed in parts, and the world-building, while interesting in concept, could have been more fleshed out. I felt that the author started focusing more on the romantic relationship and less on the initial intriguing premise. The blending of science and magic concept felt like it took a back seat to the romance. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers may find the later plot developments disappointing. The antagonist is killed off-screen, which is a letdown. Also, the characters' actions and motivations can feel inconsistent, especially regarding the ML's sudden infatuation and the MC's shift in personality. ### Final Verdict "Defeating Magic With Science" is an okay read, but don't expect a groundbreaking epic. It's a fairly formulaic story with an interesting premise that, while not fully realized, provides an enjoyable enough experience. If you're looking for a quick and relatively light read with a focus on romance and some sci-fi/fantasy elements, this might be worth your time. Just keep your expectations in check, and you might find yourself pleasantly surprised.
