tldr; Boring. S*upid writing. Cringe 'romance'. 1.5 stars.
The overall direction is aimless. A whole lot of chapters written but nothing interesting is happening. No thrilling fights, lousy world building and unclear power levels, no tension between MC and heroines or even original MC. I also feel like I lost brain cells reading this since everything feels so s*upid somehow.
Like a commoner baiting and framing a noble in a medieval setting twice in a row. If the commoner is shown as an insanely intelligent schemer, sure, I'll shelve my suspension of disbelief for a while, but said commoner is more like a s*upid delinquent who can't even recite the rules and laws of the nation. Everyone in the class doesn't seem to know the rules either until the teachers or student council or "disciplinary church committee" coming in to recite a bunch of written laws and punish the offenders, ranging from clean the classroom to EXECUTION. If it sounds wrong and weird, that's because it's strange to have a student council holding the power to suspend and expel a student. Absurdly powerful student council filled with immature students and barely adults. What a joke. And the church policing the nobles and commoners is hilarious because the crime is a commoner insulting a noble, not because of blasphemy against the church?
Yet somehow the heroines are absolute worst part of the novel. How does the author even achieve that? Are they really even people or just some computer programs written to like the MC? It makes me think nails are running across the blackboard whenever they are being jealous over MC who has done nothing to make the girls acting all yandere-lite. Please try again, author.
