A decent academy novel to pass the time but there are some serious leaps in logic. I'd give it a 3-star but the pacing is rather slow and they've barely even entered the academy so I won't judge it too harshly yet. Nevertheless, this review will be filled with criticisms since the latest translated chapter at the time of writing this review is 13.As with my opinion regarding most novels, my primary gripe is with the MC. In particular, his memory.The MC falls asleep after creating a new character in a game he frequently plays and wakes up in the wilderness of said game. Pretty classic, right?Well, the MC doesn't remember the specifics of the character he'd just created before going to sleep.He also forgets basically everything regarding communication by the time he is found by humans approximately 3+ years after being reincarnated. Now the people who found him don't understand Korean, but the fact that he forgot everything about Korean aside from one word, a language he has been speaking for 20+ years, is insane. Even if so much time has passed he truly forgot. He has shown himself capable of making cave drawings so why doesn't he do it even when he feels himself forgetting how to speak. Don't give me bullsh*t about how he was struggling to survive and didn't have time. Since it is implied he adapted rather quickly to surviving in the wild. Also, I already know some guy is gonna comment on how he's basically half-insane after a while, but insane does not=s*upidFortunately, he understands the humans. And yet he doesn't nod or shake his head or even do any kind of the most basic sign language. He merely responds with 1 word. The only word that he remembers. Now I don't know if this is a shitty attempt at comedy or if something bigger is at hand and this is foreshadowing (I think its the latter since the former would just be too s*upid and I expect much better from this writer), but from where I'm at. It seems absurdly ret*rded of him to not even point or shrug.Keep in mind this could all be some part of some over-arching plot line like in TAPOV. In fact, I personally think it is but that's still uncertain.
