The MC, Ed, is transmigrated in the body of a 3rd rank vilain, bannished from his noble familly. The plot is known by Ed, but opposed to similar novels, there are no divine artifacts to find somewhere for Ed to become OP before someone else finds them.Thus only by trainning can Ed becomes stronger. For that he decides very early in the novel to not interact with the normal stroryline, and focus on his shcool studies to graduate and leave the academy asap, because he has no money and many things in his plate to survive. The first chapters are quite good, thanks also to the craft parts, because it follows the logic and goals the MC decided early on.Yet, at some point Ed still decides to interact with the main characters of the storyline, and then, every important events go sideways...This is in total contradiction with the main goal of the MC to just grow stronger and just obtain his diploma. Why does the MC care about maintening the storyline if as a reader you've been told he does not care about it early on? It would have been much more interesting for the MC to just be an observer or create chaos on purpose, but by letting him trying to fix the normal main story, it is very frustrating. The MC acts like a mute but a single sentence from him and things go sideways...Of the other things a bit annoying are :
- The total lack of world building, there are no mysteries at all,
- The fact that some boring events are seen sometimes by more than 1 pov and are thus reapeatitive: lots of filling to skip...
- The lack of common sens of the characters and overall logic: all the events of the story up to the chapter 41, happen in the total absence of proffessors or older sudents and every single first year student is stronger than the second year. There is no deepness in the storyline.
