Reviewed at chp157:TLDR: It's not bad but neither is it good. It's a good read to kill time but not for me. I dropped it after powering through 100+chps. I think the weakest aspects of this novel are going to be the MC or the plot. Still, I recommend to anyone interested to give it a try. Some of you might enjoy it ✌️WQ(4/5) - Very few grammar and spelling mistakes. Readable and decently written.SD(2/5) - Premise was interesting though the story development was subpar. Quite a few cliches and unfortunately far too many inconsistencies to ignore. Academy arc is quite boring imo. Overused cliches are fine as long as it's used well and presented in an interesting way. However, this was not the case here. CD(3/5) - I appreciate that author didn't want some Pokemon harem and actually tried to create interesting characters. However that took a dive once he hit the academy arc, I honestly think it's cause of the typical cliches found thus requiring some characters to be typical young master or damsel-in-distress archetypes.Now for the MC, oh boy, he's not evil but also not a goody two shoes, he's basically an average Joe who is actually rather pleasant. He's also a typical 'nice guy' in the romance department. Unfortunately it just seems MC doesn't learn from his mistakes and keeps mouthing off which causes him unnecessary drama and trouble. While it has also been stated that his world is cruel and strength is supreme, he also does not really show much initiative to actually get stronger or perhaps the author misuses time skips where MC doesn't seem to get any stronger. His system is also quite nerfed and it doesn't help that he's very lax when it comes to getting points. So while being in the academy, he doesn't truly require to be much stronger, in the broader world, he's actually very weak. I'm fine with weak characters, what I'm not fine with is characters who stay weak, who doesn't 'try hard'. US(4/5) - Author is consistent with updates and keeps interaction with audience. As this is his first novel, he's also very open to actual criticisms.WB(3/5) - Hard to judge as it's not a fanfic with an established world setting and since it's still the academy arc as of this review, we have a limited world scope. The introduction to their power system and settings is done in the initial chapters to get readers acquainted and is interesting enough. The world building hasn't truly begun to me.To the author:Now for a first novel of the author, not bad, decent attempt. I'm sure you'll improve after this and I hope to see your future works but for now this novel ain't for me. I still wish you all the best author! Keep striving and improving, you have potential!
