This is not your average battle academy summoner novel as other reviews point to, and after 400 chapters I can say that this is my favourite novel of all time. The MC has an bright, enthusiastic and outgoing personality and he is always open to learning. Although, yes, he is talented, his true strength comes from his creativity. Nearly every fight (especially in the later arcs) shows him getting out of life/death situations purely from the creative use of whatever he had at hand. However, that's not enough to make it my favourite novel. There's also the characters and their chemistry; each character bounces off each other (maybe, excluding one or two but that can't be helped) and TRUST ME, the characters, interactions and overall mood and atmosphere the novel exudes gets better and better as the novel goes on. As MC builds stronger bonds and gets closer to different characters (especially his main group of friends), they're interactions become really fun to read and are sometimes downright infectious (in putting a smile on my face).TLDR: MC is enthusiastic, not arrogant + willing to learn, relies on creativity to get out of bad situations. (Becomes more apparent later in the series) Characters are lively and their interactions gradually become more and more fun to read as they get closer.10/10 story for me, it's hard to fully describe what makes it so great as I've been following for a year now and don't remember everything especially the earlier parts. But there's this sense of connectedness between characters and achievements and it makes you want to root for MC. If you made it all the way here, thanks for reading this unnecessarily long review HAHA
