I genuinely cannot understand why this novel is being translated. The premise is not great. Super talented MC with pretty important/strong parents, yet he wasn't taught a single thing beforehand, unlike literally every other student at the academy, including commoners. The MC is a special admissions student for seemingly no other reason than to be looked down upon for a lack of knowledge and then faceslap later because of his talent. The magic system isnt interesting enough to keep reading either because of how strange it is. The difference between mages and necromancers is their source of power, mana for mages and jet-black for necromancers, yet jet-black is described as being mana, so why is it different? Actual necromancy, you know, raising corpses and shit, is called summoning for some god forsaken reason. The headmaster of the academy, an incredibly feared Necromancer who destroyed a kingdom and ruled over it with the kings corpse, who is 300 years old and has a daughter, presents herself as a child, even walking around eating ice cream. Granted I've only read 12 chapters, but none of the characters that have been introduced feel interesting. I want to like this novel but theres nothing about it to like, other than having 200 translated chapters. Its a damn shame that Reaper is translating this instead of Ghost Story Club, but oh well.
