i am conflicted.The earliest chapters (before the school arc) got me hooked right away. The MC is quirky and silly, and the unfolding of that most sacred holy weapon left me totally speechless. A perfect mixture of humor and action, with just the right amount of mystery to keep us turning the pages.But... the school arc happened. Well, does that can be called an "arc", though?I had hoped that the plot would start to expand a little bit. Sure, I can handle fillers. After all, we're still at ch 70-ish, and "fillers" sometimes are necessary to solidify background story or worldbuilding. But... the school "arc" filler is needlessly long. It's kinda repetitious, especially after the 1st "arc", and can certainly be cut in some places. I mean, I wanted to know more about the world, it's condition, the politics, connection between nobles, or anything to expand my "worldview" after being stuck at a sandbox called "facility"! I want to know more about our MC! But instead, we got stuck to another sandbox called "school". The pov changes that once adds the charm to this series start to be an unnecessary hassle, since so little of it actually focuses on our MC, but instead focus on some unknown new characters that I couldn't care less. The world is vague at best, and the system of magic etc are also very, very vague.And honestly, it's kinda dumb. The MC was supposed to be a man in his 40 or so, with rich experience in the way of the world. Considering his circumstances, why did he do something as flashy as that? Ridiculous.I'm withholding my judgement about this one. I've heard stellar reviews that was given to the older version, so I thought that i'd stick around untill ch 150 or so. But...I wouldn't put up too much hope in this one.Current rating : 2
