I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind Chapter 120 Discussion

if ur a fan of a written slapstick comedy (reminds me of shonen anime but probs more female characters), that can also be emotional and srs when it needs to be, this is the story for you. If u favour hyper-realism and love consistent characters with no unnecessary gags, dont read this.

lot of ppl in the reviews seem to dislike luna and the use of weird gags. I agree that luna used to get on my nerves, but once I started seeing this series as a pure comedy and not a weird 'tsundere' romance, I realised that it was honestly, pretty funny. Unlike other series where the tsundere is just an as*hole for no reason, here luna recognises herself for being a bit of an a**hole. Shes shocked when reze wants to be her friend and she apologises to zero near ch 70 cos theres a bit of self-awareness in her character.

but u might say, thats inconsistent character writing. How can she be aware shes an a-hole, want to be close to MC, but also continue acting that way? And my answer is - its a damn comedy. Its meant to be on the nose, characters are meant to bend to add that brevity. Ppl dont bite others on the head, its obc unrealistic and meant to be pulled as jokes to lighten the readers up. If that pulls you out of the story, fair enough, but just dont read or review-bomb this series

i think ppl also get thrown off bcos this series can get super emotional at times as well, with the parrot and the 1st boss both having some srs backstory. I think it just adds emotional weight to the story, and the inconsistent characters add brevity. When u see the story as these sections just that, insted of the author inserting weird romances and writing a srs work.

the story seems to be thought-out (at least so far), the plot is considering the long-term and beyond the teasing and the gags, the characters are well fleshed-out

trust me guys, if u go into this with the mindset of a fun shonen-anime comedy style in ur head, with a little bit more female characters than is usual, while also being quite emotional, ull find this series to be a masterpiece like I did. Come in expecting smth super serious will just leave you disappointed.
