The Genre tags are misleading. There is little to no action and adventure.The better one would be Slice of Life, considering most of the novel until chapter 60 is spent at the academy or at the MC's household.While the MC is smarter, more mature and not wimpy as the usual jap MCs, there is a serious problem with the novel's pacing, writing and translation.There's too much tell don't show and internal monologues. Also the fantasy elements are thin. There are some different body characteristics, a few fantastic animals (2 so far) but no magic or more fantasy aspects: it's middle ages + giant eagle riders and chocobos. In turn, the MC is basically a school teacher monologuing about a bunch of scientific knowledge that he's applying in his current world, like a copy paste from wikipedia. That drags the pacing down even further.It's a pity, I liked the characters, the MC and the main plot of the story: An invasion by a foreign empire that will certanly cause the downfall of his current country. Unfortunately the plot barely advanced in this 60 chapters I've read, and it was mostly a big training arc with lot of mundane events which didn't move the plot forward by much or at all.By chapter 57 the Author started to show his weird fetiches and the story started leading towards harem. I decided to quit by then.Spoiler
He told a 15 year old kid that it was ok to steal a girl's panties to satisfy his lust over her. At the very least, he's not one of those sexualizing kids left and right, but it's still a little disturbing.
