On the tldr summary, I think you can enjoy the novel IF you are a fan of the Academy genre, and are willing to brush off the countless problems that plague inside, if you're curious you can read below. Personally, I liked the novel, due to me being a fan of the Academy genre, especially where they reincarnate into the story/game the MC tried. The general story was interesting enough for me to not drop right away. However, this does not change the fact that this is one of the worst novels I have ever tried.Don't get fooled by all the 5 star revs which even claimed "a veteran on this site would be pleasantly surprised at its quality". Well I was surprised, at how garbage it was. The reviewer also only had 6 reviews... not even a 100. Like fk, don't trick people like me and raise their hopes up.There are so many problems with this novel that I can't even list them all if I wanted to, as I literally can not remember them all. But if I were to name the main problem, it'd be the pacing. The pacing is so fast that something BIG happens every few days, and the timeline during this makes zero sense. There is zero logic here. You go from class entrance exams to see where you get placed, midterms, then into the end of semester exams in the span of 2 or 3 weeks. Not to mention all the other milestone events that happened... yet between all this everyone, especially side characters who for most seem to have the "lazy" tag like some 2d hard defined noble antagonists, get stronger despite doing zero training.Speaking of strength, the whole stat system make so little sense that the novel would've been many times better to just have no stat system at all. So many stats, and so many unnecessary stats and skills listed, it becomes a filler buff. The level aspect especially makes the least sense, as the level has no direct correlation towards anything. It tries to plot armor it with claiming "but you'd get buffs/nerfs depending on what level they are!" And even later on saying "1 level difference at high levels is game changing!" Together with many equally as contradicting statements like "I possibly wouldn't be able to beat them even with the level 10 difference! (Despite being in those such high levels) " and especially the earlier first claim that the author literally stated levels do jack sht...In reality, it's only the stats/skills that do something. The rank grading also means nothing as every character, can easily use magic star grades far higher than their capabilites. The grades are also split to 1 to 9 star, with 8 star being defined as capability to destroying a country, and 9 star being capability to destroying the world, yet we see every somewhat important character easily doing 8 star magic or says will have capability to by the second semester or year. We also see all thr professors have the capability to use this so called "rare" magic. Oh boy, the amount of countries that must be wiped and founded on a daily basis must be insane.The magic is also limited to elements. The systrm lists all known skills and learnable skills. Yet each element somehow only has 5-6 skills, as that is the limit of the authors creativity. Some star levels are also directly skipped due to this. Skills are also not learned from practice of the skill, such as am incantation, but simply a stat or skill level requirement (which often is based off a stat) and boom you automatically know thr said skill.There is also a stat system of buffs, where you have a skill rating between combat of vs certain species, and with MC maxing the Demon one, he gets extreme buffs. Yet no one in the world knows about this type of hidden stat skill system when it repeatedly states that everything the stat system lists is basically standardized. Like stated earlier, if they just got rid of the whole stat system, and replaced it with a unique mechanic such as a demon slayer lineage bloodline as the plot armor reasoning, this novel could've been so much better. The original MC (of the game he got reincarnated into) also makes little to no sense. With how black magic directly correlates to Demons, somehow light magic, which no one has but the original MC in this world, is somehow not correlated to a heavenly being or even recorded that light magic counters demons... He is also strong and pathetic at the same time (faints every single boss fight), to emphasize how useless he is compared to the real MC who saves him unknowingly (to original mc) each time. All the demons are trying to kill him due to the light attribute, and he has zero fkn emotions.The somewhat cheesy romance I thought would be okay, but that was until we met the main Heroine, who the MC repeatedly emphasized was his favorite Heroine. She even got her own artwork! And she... turned out to have the mind of a 3 year old child!!! She is the definition of every low budget jpn harem novel yet the MC fkn loves her!?!?@?#@ Every conversation she goes "shirorororo" "hwahahahah" "nico nico smile smile". Again... she has the brain of a little kid! And it is the most fake braindead 2D cardboard cutout character!!!!!!! IM LOSING MY SANITY!!! They shouldve made Kaya main Heroine (first introduced FL), at least they had a little bit of brain and didn't feel like the most unrealistic fake character ever. Even the #1 seat Luce would've been better.Speaking of characters... there are plenty enough of characters that are introduced and forgotten later after their only purpose in the story was achieved, such as the original mc's childhood friend who was never mentioned again after becoming friends with the actual MC. Lots of characters also have hard cliche trope settings. Like the before mentioned antagonist arrogant noble, "righteous" rebellious commoner, dumb fk main heroine, righteous original MC, cold detached professor, et cetera. Almost no one has development, and if they do, it's typically a sudden 180 personality change, like the righteous rebellious commoner being reformed.Another big problem of this novel is that the whole arc structure is literally listed down like the author couldn't hold it in and wanted to share everything. During one of the chaps it literally became an info dump session of the whole plot where the MC started listing all the future plot events. Arc 1 ep 1, arc 2 ep 2, arc 3 ep 3, wait this was suppossed to be a arc 6 ep 9! This made all future plot lose the little suspense it had left (especially as MC is very op broken vs the demons), as you already essentially know the whole main plot and events. And like I said way before, the pacing is way too fast with zero reality on the timeline. You literally go from one arc ep event right away into the next arc ep event with zero downtime between, and each being literal day (s) between each other.There are so many plot holes in the story plot that I can't even list them as almost every chap had one!!! But one of the biggest story plotholes is why does the MC do nothing to that student council president who is behind a lot of these events?! He even bought a cloak of disguise, it can also be as easy as just secretely sending a letter to one of the professors to inform them of the situation like his class professor who was stated to be the main person that goes against her. The world background has many holes too... but again there's too many too list...I'm tired of yapping so that's all I'm going to write, but let me tell you, what I've listed is ONLY A FKN PART of the all the problems!! I'm honestly surprised I was even able to read and somewhat enjoy the novel. This is of course by brushing off all the problems... One of the reasons that got me to stay to was the translation site which had like no ads and amazing next chap click flow. But...The main reason I also dropped the novel is due to the translator making it so you need to now send your email to get access to the site. Due to this I dropped right away as the novel is nowhere good enough for me to send information and make an account on a site I may never go to again unless for another novel.The fast pacing amazes me that the chapter count is over 100. There must've been so much filler to drag on the novel later on unless there are dozens of acts and higher amount of episodes as I was already at the end of act 3 when dropping at c29
