I am being harsh on this novel because I enjoyed it, and I would certainly like to see it get better. I will talk about my main few peeves about this novel.First, there is absolutely no tension. There are no special points in the novel that make your blood boil or you feel excited. The MC is just invincible, such that you know he’s never going to lose. When overpowered is a tag, you would expect to be a kind of face slapping novel right? Wrong. And that is a kind of segue into my next point.Second, I am not feeling any direction really. Perhaps that is because the story is still in it’s opening parts, the story is just meaningless babble for now. The MC has no purpose really, he just wanders around, with his students or some other people. In reality, this is probably what he is trying to do, but it’s no fun watching an MC without purpose.Third, just a minor peeve of mine, the name of the novel is Professor Kal. Yet, he is basically sidelined for a while as some of the higher status characters discuss, and his students go off on adventures of their own for what feels to be a greater part of the novel to me. Even though he is in certain scenes, his presence is barely noticeable as a reader.Fourth, I have just realized this as of writing the review, but Kal has made no progress. Just like in a certain manga, Rent-A-Girlfriend, I thought it was good just because I was having fun, but looking back, no progress was made. The only substantial things were Kal getting a job and taking in a student. Everything else has basically not mattered at all.Fifth and last, one of the most minor things, wording is kind of funky sometimes, but those were in the earlier chapters, and those problems have mostly gone away for now. Now, to talk about the good parts of this story. The MC is a great realist. He doesn’t do things without benefit for himself. Next, the side characters are given the time they need to shine, they have distinct personalities. However, the problem with this, is that people get bored easily, and I tended to skim over such things. More good parts are that there is almost definitely a deeper plot happening here, but if there is no payout after waiting all that time, I doubt I’ll stick around any longer. Basically, there are situations with time put into being read, but there is no sufficient payout to justify that reading time put in. I feel like author needs to make these situations have more payout for the reader, for spending their time reading all this, because I have only felt minor payouts in the form of small jokes, but I haven’t found anything exceptionally interesting or comedic.Alright, I should end my tangent here. I’m being harsh on this novel because I want it to improve, of course, there’s no denying the possibility that it has already been improved, since I haven’t read to the latest chapter yet. However, I would still like my thoughts to be known.Writing quality: 4/5Story development: 2/5Character design: 4/5World bg: 3/5
