the premise had potential, but the harem elements interwoven since the beginning ruined a lot of the dynamics and logical routes for world building.if you’re just reading for the harem elements (which is plain teasing and barely any romance), there isn’t much to critique on but there isn’t much going on either.if you’re reading because of the interesting summary and premise, you’d definitely be disappointed. The world building in the initial dozen chapters had my hopes up, but you can clearly tell where the author’s passion lies. The lack of proper, fulfilling world building isn’t the only fault here, and the numerous plot holes can easily be observed even from the very first chapter. The attitudes and built in stereotypes of races, as well as the strange OOC behaviours of both major and minor characters only multiply as you read further.the academy theme feels out of place, and definitely could have been written better. The political themes and politicking was handled clumsily and doesn’t seem to fit the scale of the deeds and events that the novel covers.all in all, this novel lacks redeeming elements, and while each tag that this novel has is true, each and every one of them are fumbled badly.to the person who commented on the art, I want to point out that one of the art pieces showcases a character pissing themselves. Additionally, each of the female characters look largely similar, and if the art pieces hold true to the novel’s depictions, the novel itself arguably features the same female image just in different colours and uniforms.overall, don’t waste your time unless you feel provoked enough (like me) to read past the first hundred chapters and justify your criticisms. If you plan on reading this based off the admittedly intriguing summary, you will be sorely disappointed.
