Honestly this could have been perhaps a hidden gem if it wasn't for the fact that it's a cultivation novel. Magic, system and cultivation, three settings that contradict each other in a way that it makes it hard for authors to design a power system that feels impactful, fair and somewhat balanced. In this novel you could hardly feel the 'magic' element, simply replace 'magic spells' with 'martial arts', 'magic' with cultivation and 'academy' with sect and you get yourself a generic cultivation novel where the more our Mc progresses in his story the weaker he actually gets (not technically) , also I don't see the point of the system, it just does everything for our Mc, people in the reviews call him 'smart', 'unique' ... But the system literally gives him everything from randomly invited students that are flowing with talents to mythical-grade magical roots and anything else he happens to need at the convenient time, at this point I'm asking why not make him build the 'academy' from scratch with the help of his sugar daddy (the system)? Or perhaps make him actually care for the 'academy'?. You know, whatever, moving onWhats with the pacing in this novel? Everything happens so suddenly and randomly without any prior development or foreshadowing that any event in this novel whether it's an important side character backstory arc or a simple info dump immediately loses its weight before it even starts. That's again another problem with these type of novels smh
