Description

This is Bright Battle Academy. It is not a place where your hand will be held or your failings compensated for. It is not a place for the weak, or the subversive, or the conspicuously diverse. This is Bright Battle Academy, where champions are forged and legends begin.

Dwarfs? Once they were part of the great alliance. They helped build this very academy. But they were so stubborn, so unyielding, so unwilling to bend themselves to the rules. And so they weakened, and so they declined, and so their empires faded. What few that are left shun the academy. We have no dwarfs here.

Rogues? Perhaps a handful in the sprawl, hiding in the shadows, hoarding their merits, hoping to buy a promotion to something remotely useful, ninja or assassin perhaps. But in the academy proper? No. We have no rogues here.

And yet despite everything here she stands. Nala Greyward, Dwarf Rogue. Pettiest of thieves. Unpleasantest of surprises.Causer of problems.

So she killed an ogre. So nobody knows how she did it.So what. Throw her in with the real prospects, with the elves and the vampires and the fighters and the magic users. See how she does in that environment--see just how long it is, before the problem that is Nala Greyward solves itself.

This is Bright Battle Academy.

Good luck.

Discord if you're into that.

A great read for people who love underdog stories, lots of social interaction, and the tactician is properly silent about the tactics.

From the very first page of this story, I was completely hooked. The author's writing style is simply hilarious, but it conveys exactly what it needs to while keeping the story moving forwards at an excellent pace. The author's insights and the themes of the story are also accurate and valuable. For this story, the style and grammar are both flawless. If I had one complaint, it was that the initial pre-conception stage in the characters' minds was a little too long.
As for the story itself, I am a little less enthusiastic. It is well executed, but the events have been a little too predictable for my tastes, and the foreshadowing a little too heavy handed. For all that there is clearly more going on behind the scenes, I'm not yet convinced that when the big reveal happens, it will come with more insightful themes attached, or if this will ultimately turn out to be just another adventure.
As for the characters - they are epic and wonderful. Every character in the story has excessive personality, which makes for a huge number of laugh-out-loud interactions, which I think is perfect for the story as it is. It does leave them feeling a little like 2 dimensional cartoon characters, though. Compounding this is that while it is appropriate for the tactician not to reveal her strategies, it would be nice to have at least some idea of what she is spending her time doing and thinking about.
All in all, if you enjoy witty character interactions, litrpgs, or stories with interesting tactics, this one is a must read. It is a diamond in the rough on RRL, and I will keep my fingers crossed that the author is able to see their plans through to the end.
