  It's a nice story, everything is good for me. Flow, story, characters. There are a few typos but they are not that disturbing.
  I like the worldbuilding.
  Maybe a bit more detail about the spells / magic system  would be nice.
  So far it is an engaging isekai story. I would recommend to read, you can decide from the first few chapters is you want to continue to read.

  If you are looking for a chill slice-of-life/school-life story set in a wacky magic school then give this one a try.
  Good grammer and no spelling mistakes I could see. Style feels casual.
  Michael is a good viewpoint for the story. He has a background in academia. I found it interesting as he compares his experiences in university with the realities of a magic school.
  Characters aren't deep, per se, but they are memorable. Side characters are introduced at a nice pace and are distinct enough in personality and apperance to make for easy reading.
  As of this moment only 11 chapters have been released. SangBlanc has set up the world and characters for some interesting things. I am excited to see where it goes.
  Props also for the fast chapter releases.

  This is my first review but like the main points are above. The only thing I mark it down for are the occasional confusing jumps in perspective and the semi-frequent misspellings that don't impede reading but are there. Otherwise, I am having a blast reading and just hate having to wait for chapters!

  My opinion as of chapter 15:
  Pros: -Has an interesting premise
  -Has entertaining characters
  -The MC is neither perfect or annoyingly incompetent
  Cons:-The delivery of information is a bit confusing and sometimes vague
  -For a LITRPG the "power system" is pretty vague, both the "game" aspects and the magical ones

  This story had a great hook in the beginning, but then by chapter 15, you get the sense of thick plot armor. There are also quite a few inconsistencies within the story as well:
  The MC somehow beats a senior student with one spell that in the beginning he was having trouble with and even stated that he needed help learning how to use? And pretty much never even used magic, like ever, beforehand? Even though his opponent is 3 years his senior, can use multiple spells like "Flash", surround herself with stone armor, and basically teleport, but doesn't knock the MC out on his ass? Um, yeah. Ok.
  Also about the plot armor being thick:
  MC and the team in chapter 14 just happen to find a huge loot pile larger than what the team previously has ever found combined prior to the MC joining them? Awfully convenient.
  The grammar is pretty great though, characters are somewhat fleshed out and have different personalities, so no issues there, but the plot and events are very ametuerish to the point where I just lost inerest and will not continue with the story.
  Lastly, you don't have to italicize every other word. It's jarring and quite annoying. I am trying to make a picture in my head as I read and having italics puts uneeded emphasis on words. Stop it.

  It's an interesting story, well written, but it has some minor plot holes (not that I mind too much) and some words just haven't been corrected after being misspelled...which kind of triggers me....other then that a very much enjoyable read for those interested in the magic academy genre.

  ★★★ 2.5

  I liked the novel until Erea came in, that was the dumbest thing I have ever red, like If I was Micheal i would have beaten her half to death and wouldn't even accept her apology, like what you expect me to let you hit me just cuz your jealous of me and then actually accept your apology, and then a couple chapters later she even hits him cuz some people spread that he sleeps with the gorgon teacher. Then she thinks his with the gorgon teacher even though he is not and she made no effort to see if it was true or not and even if it was true, it's none of her business to interfere like that and punch Micheal in the face, cuz her and Micheal were not even anything close to a couple, barely friends and even after that Micheal is still considering her feelings? Yeah no, relationships don't work like that In real life bro
  No matter how beautiful she was I would still have beaten the shit out of her after that and break off any kind of relationship I had with that type of woman.
  This just ruined the Novel from a 4.2ish to 2.5 cuz you shifted the whole focus of novel from the academy to this farce.

  ★★★ 2.5

  Iv been forcing myself to continue reading it and hoping it gets better but i cant continue.
  My main problems with this novel is the MC and the story.
  Heavy story Spoilers ahead :
  While taking a shower mc get transported to another world with magic and a system. The transportation missfunctions and he ends up on the top levels of the academy which are forgotten laboratories of old mages. These "laboratories" exist in the underground too, suspiciously they are more of an test chambers with rewards, more of a dungeon feeling then laboratories but lets ignore that...
  Now mc instead of freaking out, thinks this is a prank. Then notices some kind of automated, armor wearing, golems. Now we get a half chapter of running from them and just before they kill him he gets teleported to the main chambers of the academy. He tells the teachers and students he has amnesia and they proceed to a magical testing.
  Mc gets the hardest tests in 800+ years and wins against a magic construct with some bullsh*t and gets a mage class and 2 spells. Why is he even taking the test? He knows basically nothing about the place he is in, this is his 1st time seeing magic and he goes with the flow like its an everyday occurrence.
  After the test he's called by the principal and instead of telling him everything and asking if its possible for him to get back home he just lies to him. We get some exposition of the school and find out that there is an tuition. But for some reason no one ever mentions who payed for mc's tuition, you bet the bookkeeping guys would be hard at work figuring that out, but nah there was never any more mention of it. From the talk with the principal we find out the mc's class allows him to get the spells he needs when he needs them the mosts, yea, yea protagonist bullsh*t somehow he got a barrier spell from this without knowing anything about magic. So the same question why is he attending the academy if he can just learn stuff by fighting and rising his level ?
  He's reasonin

  ★★ 2.0

  TL;DR: Utterly lacks depth in characters, dialogues, exposition, worldbuilding, descriptions and motivations. Characters are shallow and converse about unimportant bits while the important stuff is left unanswered by both context and exposition. Nothing gets proper setup and resulting actions seem mind blowingly idiotic and not thought through.
  There were five characters mentioned in the four chapters I've read, including the MC. Of those, only one side character got even bare description (that's right, not the MC) and three were barely silhouettes.
  All we know about the MC is that we were told he is a history student, male and is not in great shape. And that last fact is told, but author obviously forgot about it in the actual plot, because the MC is showing superhuman athletic abilities and durability with the narrative shamelessly pretending everything is as it should be as it commits the cardinal sin of self-contradiction.
  The plot is just not thought through and lacks setup. Things happen without preparation, are not explored at all or get bare explanation and then a lucky star strikes and character does something without thinking about whether it is appropriate, believable or at least plausible.
  I would really recommend the author to read about the stanislavky method of acting and try to immerse themselves in the mind and circumstances of the characters he's writing about instead of corraling the plot to his desired conclusion without thinking of consequences of actions.
  The style lacks substance and focuses on the unimportant. Everything important like motivations, reasons and thoughts are just skimmed over to halfway describe the hall the person is standing in, give up and go on with some other barely described or thought about action.
  Grammar is barely passable, full of misspellings and similarly sounding words used instead of the right ones.
  It's just disappointing after reading the five star reviews full of praise.

  ★ 0.5

  This is the first time I ever leave a 0.5 star review.
  What was the meaning of this? Drama just for the sake of it? I know you must have wanted to tell your story and it was interesting, but the more this progressed, the more it devolved into a disgusting drama show. Treasons, friends hurting each others, benevolent beings seemingly seeing nothing better to do than hurting other benevolent beings. And no information as to why is really given to the reader.
  We are just left to witness the result of this all.
  Well, fuck this. I'm out. I really loved it at the beginning, but this is nothing like it started as. I never thought I'd leave such a review, ever, but reading this mentally hurt me and I had to let it out.
  Sorry, and have a nice day.
