Description

Arcadia's Knight Academy is the premier school for young men hoping to become a Sorceress's Knight. Only nobles, people with power and prestige, are allowed within these hallowed grounds-which explains why Caspian Ignis del Sol is hated by everyone. He's not a noble, or of even slightly noble lineage. He's a peasant.

Caspian must bravely face politics, sorceresses, assassins, and numerous other dangers if he wants to become a Sorceress's Knight. Whether or not he succeeds, and even if he does succeed, what happens to him will forever change the course of destiny for those living in this world of swords and sorcery.

Note: This manuscript is unedited. If you would like the fully-edited, fully-illustrated version, volumes 1 and 2 are available in the links below.

Not good at reviews but here i go.
Bottom Line Up Front: Definitely worth your time, Check it out. Stick around until at least chapter 5, the story picks up around there. Fight scenes are good, nothing really stands out as irritating or annoying, devopment isn't slow. Cliches show up from time to time, but are written well (imo, ymmv).
Grammar: Starts off needing a bit of work, but improves slightly over time until around chapter 20 or so, iirc. Then it improves by large chunks. At the time of this review (cha 59/arc 2 cha 9), grammar issues are few and far in between. At the very least, I don't explicitely notice them anymore. Supposedly this is the unedited verson, but is already pretty good ( and for RRL, this is much better than many others).
Story: Enjoyable. World building is steady, no info dumps, although the info does come in small chunks; if you don't binge read right at the start, you may have trouble remembering some of the small details. Not a whole lot of emphasis is placed on geography, whereas the important (relevant) historical events are given more emphasis, with important scenes combining this info with expansions upon characters' personalities.
As the author states, he likes to have the story start slowly, but I feel that it's not unbearably so. It moves along at a steady pace until the rising action, then falls, only to build up again. Some people might find that annoying, but I have enough patience to not find issue. I find that the story moves along at a good pace: the author puts time into the build up, but doesnt linger, and just about nails the timing for moving on. Another factor to this is that I personally enjoy the story.
Fight Scenes: This is a bit more personal for me since I practice martial arts. The author doesnt get specific, but does give enough detail to get a good idea of various actions. It's got a bit of detail in between more vague descriptions, which leave the reader to their imagination while still guiding the imagery. Doe

The grammar is fine, the syntax is easily understood, the author knows the characters are cliche.
the MC is just a bit too “oh, woes me” mixed with too “they owe me better “ in the first few chapters for me to put up with for long. Like I get that the staff need to hate him, but the staff here is just way too unprofessional for something of the school’s stated tier. If the students have to deal with politics then so do staff, and for a full grown adult used to politics to let a child acting like the cliché “better than this” get the better of them so obviously would not happen. If he’s been at the school as long as he has, then he should be better at arguments than for insults to be the main go to.
It’s very flanderized to me. For the first few chapters and I didn’t get past that. Even the author notes this in the end chapter notes.
saying that the grammar, minus a spelling mistake or two make, is great for an “unedited” version and if you can deal with the characters longer than me is probably worth it. Not my cup of tea but it might be yours.
grammer for “unedited “ version is 3stars, the added .5 is for the stated awareness of the characters faults. It’s nice to see an author recognizing where the clichés are
