I was hooked right from the start on this novel! It drew me in with its unique premise of a weak student suddenly gaining amazing demon-hunting powers.At first I thought Isaac would follow the typical OP main character route, effortlessly defeating everyone in flashy ways. But I was pleasantly surprised that his newfound strength only applies to fighting demons. Against human opponents he's still weak, which creates an interesting dynamic.The demon battles are exhilarating to read, especially when Isaac strategizes about how to exploit their weaknesses. And when he's challenged by other students, it's fun seeing how he creatively uses his specialized skills to survive.The plot keeps things moving at a steady clip, with new mysteries and adventures in every arc. The story never feels repetitive or formulaic. I also like the way the author incorporates familiar western fairy tales and folklore with added twists into the backstories.While there's some romance, it's not overly dominant. And I appreciate that the heroines feel like real people with their own goals, rather than prizes for Isaac to collect.Overall this is an entertaining fantasy academy novels I've come across. If you're looking for something that combines demon-hunting action with witty humor and great characters, definitely give this a try!
