    Absolutely loved how it hooked me in, initially, I wasn't sure it was going to be my type of read but honestly it's amazing, the MC made me laugh so much during just the first chapter and reacted exactly how you'd expect a normal person that's transferred into a school like this 10/10 would recommend if I could rate more than 5/5 stars I would, can't wait for more chapters!

    The story so far was amazing, 2 chapters in and we're already presented with a lot in a really well done fashione.
    You describe the scenery or the mood of the situation really well and I think that contributed to a really smooth reading experience.
    Aoi as a main character is fascinating so far really, his straight man attitude to the insanity the world throws at him is both hilarious and captivating, I do wonder if that will continue to be or will he crack and conforme to the antics of this world.
    The fights are well done so far, both first and second were really entertaining and the wacky situation that led to them got a laugh out of me, and they were well paced too.
    Which leads me to the passing of the story as a whole, it's perfect so far, nothing happening too fast or too slow, always having something to catch my interest, which for 2 chapters is a really good achievement.
    Also I do hope we get more world building as we go along, because for as each as this world seems so far I do wonder if it has any hidden secrets to it.
    All in all, a good read that o would definitely, Keep up the good work m8.

    Oh this is rather fun. I enjoy the protagonist's internal monologues. There's just something so funny about them.
    The fight scene in the first chapter was really good too! While not particularly pretty, it did a good job explaining exactly what's going on while still sticking with the character and his POV.

    The style is great, I honestly don't see anything to improve on here. The only thing I can complain about is the use of terribly stereotypical manga expressions, though evidently this is intentional and came out as such well.
    One of the problems I noticed is the characters. Written as mainstream as possible. I understand that this is probably the intention, but innovation and originality is a definite plus.
    The second issue I noticed is story holes, or rather one. When Aoi got off the train and was accosted by this punk, he accosted him for basically no reason in a very public place. It was probably to showcase the character's fighting skills, but in my opinion it would have had a better effect if it had been done once in the classroom. Just changing the location of the attack to some side street would have basically been enough. There would have been a simple motivation for the punk, like robbery.
    It also seems to me that a lot of the parts that don't add anything to the story could have been left out, when the character just goes from one room to another.
    I think that's it, I look forward to the rest of the story. Remember these are just my personal feelings :P
    See you soon.
