I decided to give this novel a shot, although it already had a less than average rating, which I sadly have to confirm. I think there are many better stories with the same basic settings.I do actually quite enjoy the tropes this novel includes. With all the tropes face slapping, s*upid cannon fodders, MC being OP, etc. It includes, I thought it should be an average read.The revenge and face slapping part was already, up to c20, quite over the top. Spoiler
MC being in university has reported student after student for slander to the university and made them loose credits over sometimes minor annoyances, childishness or seemingly spontaneous outbursts.
[collapse] So unexpectedly for me the face slapping part in this novel was sadly not very enjoyable.I have to detract another star for the above plus the fact that there is no tension in the story. I don't know how to explain this aspect very well. But essentially I'm not sure what this stories or the MC's goal is. Normally there'd be a goal whether it's improving academically or just earning money doing your job, a romance interest or otherwise.. I feel the MC doesn't really have much ambition nor does he run into any difficulties. Example: SpoilerML (being the super talented guy he is) randomly offers MC a part time job, for no reason other than him having a good impression and wanting to help. That's fine until you consider that the both of them don't know each other, that job makes MC essentially ML's partner (so this job is quite exclusive) and MC is only a freshman with close to no knowledge while ML already is in 2nd year.
