Rather bland. Starts off with a revenge premise but this isn't really a revenge story, so right off the bat there's a bait-and-switch. LitRPG system is opaque, basically grind class skills to level up, but with how it's set up level ups and stat increases feel random. Stats don't feel like they have any narrative weight so the numbers seem pointless.

Main heroine (the disciple) is a bit of a Mary Sue, a JK from modern Japan that happens to be a killing machine in secret whilst having wife-like qualities. Not totally against it, but don't expect any meaningful character development. The MC's love interest is a psychopath tsundere (I seriously hate this trope). The classmates and side characters are a bunch of cliches.

Dropped at the start of the academy tournament against new characters I don't care about. There's probably an overarching plot, but with the slow ass story pacing it's hard to retain interest. Part of it is that there's no tension, the MC and the tsundere are (probably) two of the strongest people in the world. Another part is that it's just boring; not blatant word padding, just little of interest happening in each chapter. The golem dungeon arc was disappointing, screwing up a dungeon of all things is a red flag in my book.
