It's a decent and overall enjoyable read. At worse, it's average but it's still a pretty good academy novel. Unlike other academy novels, the MC is not trying to save the world or the academy. He's doing his best to survive and learn magic to be the best civil servant he can be. I do agree that at times it can feel dull and repetitive. Often times, the solution to the problem is the mc's mana. The main character is op as he essentially has infinite mana and he has a better grasp of understand magic than the others, granted that it is due to his diligence in studying. Having said that, I really enjoy the other characters and the shenanigans that happens. The things they do are pretty interesting and funny. Sometimes the side characters became a bit too simplified as you get further into the story which happens when a story becomes this long. However, I would not say that it is a major issue compared to other novels. One thing the author does that I love is how some details that are mentioned get expanded upon on a hundred or so chapters later. Spoiler
Like a professor being missing and having an arc with them latter on.
[collapse] Even though that does not happen for every single one, it's nice when it happens. The world building is pretty solid as you explore different parts of the school, and the cities during vacation. You get to learn a bit about the culture in the world by seeing how the MC obliterates the common sense of other peoples through his nonsense.
