The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter Completed Discussion

This is quite a good story for the first 50-70 chapters. It has a lot of similarities to Ending Maker, where the story has a lot of fortunate moments (plot armor) for the good guys but it’s easy to gloss over because the characters are fun and the story is interesting.

The major differences are harem (kinda?) and no narrative tension ever due to plot armor.

Past the 70s, a large portion of the plot begins to revolve around the harem - which is just girls chasing our hunk - start keeping eachother in check as well as the main plot becoming a predictable formula of *event happens*, part of the crew + MC stop it, *romantic (aka walking around and nothing else) interlude*

It felt like the author ran out of steam towards the end. Boss battles that have been talked about for 200+ chapters are over in half a chapter with no real fanfare.

Finally. (Spoiler is about the harem resolution) Spoiler

For all the time this novel spends on the interactions between the MC and the harem, it never goes anywhere romantically. This just wastes a ton of the novel and is unsatisfying. Coupling this with the other plot line being tied up in a crappy way, this novel ends terribly.

[collapse]

anyhow, I’d recommend reading Ending Maker instead
