Not bad so far. 3/5 is a relatively high score for me nowadays.All is said in the summary and other reviews, so I'll keep it short.The setting is a very typical Korean magic academy in a fantasy world based on a game world (hence game elements), except the protagonist isn't aware of it being a game world, which is a nice little spin on the cliche.The plot is fine too, so far. However, it may be a bit boring because while the protagonist is pursuing his goals instead of being passive, this subplot of him doing so is rather sparsely present (it kind of makes sense, given how slow he is in the IQ department). It's mostly comedy and developing relationships with love interests that are in the spotlight.Speaking of comedy, it's quite good. As the tags say, it's a misunderstandings comedy type, but it's pulled off decently well. It's nothing great, though.The protagonist, well, isn't a Chad as some other review (s) say, because he's too dense to be that (dense specifically in the romantic sense, missing tag "dense protagonist"), though the setting kind of explains that. I'd instead call him an alpha male (because he isn't swept by the love interests, and first does what he wants, e.g. A chick tries to invite him out, but he says nope, I was going to run now - and then she ends up running with (after?) him). Speaking of it, the author does a great job of portraying him as a good, manly dude. That's why he's a true alpha male, and not some ripoff like some red pill "alphas" on Youtube lmao.Other characters are okay so far. They have some flaws, but it's normal, and some of them at least can retrospect and improve or reform. I appreciate the way the love interests are gradually getting closer to the MC. As another reviewer said, we do have some cat fights by now, but they're nowhere as frequent as that reviewer made it sound.Overall, a fairly promising novel with a honorable warrior type MC. I recommend with a clear conscience. It's just a question of whether it will stay good or get better/worse.
