Long story short? Extremely entertaining.Seriously this series is just a ton of fun. Initially I was a bit worried. It has some red flags like the tired reincarnation trope, the whole "omfg they cannot properly gauge this guy's power so he's considered inferior but he's actually not" cliche, and some others. Most of that is properly explained later, but that's actually not important. What carries this novel is pretty much Arnos Voldigod. He's the mudafcking Demon Lord reincarnated, and he gives no sh*t about whatever plebs think. He does as he pleases for fun and no one can stop him. So some hoity toity nobles say some s*upid stuff about him not being a proper noble? He doesn't care one bit about the bugs lol. I really like how he's pretty much just lulzing around. Arnos is confident in his own strength and just does whatever the hell he wants for his own reasons. There are some people wondering why the heck he's even in the Academy. After all they literally have nothing to teach him. The thing is, he's there because he finds it amusing. It might seem like it doesn't make sense, but Arnos IS the rules. His whim is all that matters hahahaha.I also rather like the supporting characters Misha and Sasha. So far I admit they haven't had much of a chance to break out of their archtypes, but the first arc involving them was pretty darn touching. It's mostly the way they interact with Arnos that's fun to see. Sasha is mostly a typically tsundere, but Arnos is too smooth for any tsundere p**syfooting and tackles her head on.Overall I'm totally down to see more Demon King/Founder shenanigans.
