I originally dropped this at c17, but picked it back up due to rankings, and though I do say it got more interesting once the Academy arc started, if anything my original rating of 3 lowered to a 2.It's very bland writing. The MC's powers aren't really interesting and are broken. There are some confusing parts but many more plotholes. The MC isn't the brightest bunch, though luckily not a s*upid JPN protagonist... And characters are pretty flat. I honestly feel this is more of the translation rather than the story with how bland everything is.However, even with that, there are so many illogical holes and so many things are written off and make no sense on why things happen. And the whole first arc was spent building a side character FL who proceeded to get no screen time.The worst part of this whole novel is not the bland writing but the blatant forced 0 reasoning low iq plot forcing of academy/military events. The midterm, which they required to invade the human world has the most s*upid reasoning I've read in a while. For 10 years while both academies are already established, they just happened to never attack the other realm when their whole course is to do so? But just happens to do so with the MC? The Academy who has Geniuses of future top talents and loads of resources dont get targeted at all by upper bracket since they are too busy?Especially 7 sins family they say... when literally every single inheritor of the family just so happens to be in the same year and also attack them but can't get support? Despite having "no resources" they easily get resources yet the adults don't and won't do anything to fight the other side? Keep in mind that it cost isn't per person but just opening the portal, they even have a fkn train like hogwarts for some reason. They also send FRESHMAN STUDENTS to do war things with NO INSTRUCTORS protecting/guiding them!!!!! Who the fk is gonna send untrained future elites to do that sh!t when you could inflict way more damage and have way more people alive?!?!?!?!?So many things make zero fkn sense, and there are blatant plotholes everywhere in plot and world settings...And like with every overly op ability, there are countless "Why tf didn't he just do this/that with it instead and end the fight already?!" It's even worse since it is paired with a low iq author.As an Academy genre fan it was an okay time waster but I'll never be back.
