Been reading this for a while now and cant believe theres no reviews!!!!
Well written! intresting, weak to strong, Good depth to MC and supporting characters. The world is interesting and varied and a unique view on the magic and progression. Seems to be a wish list of of the things I look for in a story and its what i enjoy about this one.
Well rounded chapter drops and am looking forward to more

Very good, but action scenes may be a bit long for some. I enjoyed it a lot. Its progression can be a bit random at times but that's fine. Although I feel/fear that it might be dropped I would recommend this to a friend. It has a very good plot and a exciting story. The lore may be a bit complicated for some, so you might have to read it a few times over.

It's really obvious that the author is an Anime person so lets get that in the open right now. While the setting is arguably more of a mid to high fantasy world, there are some character tropes and subplots that read right out of a shonen manga. Technically the story is not an isekai, as the MC is not reincarnated, but without spoiling much there are facets of the world revealed later on which enter isekai territory.
That being said I really really enjoy most of the story. Some parts are slow and my biggest complaint would be some punchy battle chapters which to me feel like a little too much for too long. Overall I find the world and system interesting and fresh despite the basic framework of an 'Academy', school-life sort of thing. While a 'system' does exist its weirdly organic and esoteric rather than your classic blue-box UI.
Style (3/5):
There's some uniqueness here but lets be real, it bleeds shonen vibes punctuated by veers into much darker content. It can be engaging but at the same time disconcerting. Lore & exposition could be toned down, the mainline plot needs to move quicker. The opening chapters are wierdly long and tedious, its not until chapter 5 or 6 that they narrow down into a more digestable word count. The Author openly admits that he's basically writing for fun and learning on the fly, so these inputs are specifically for him (you!).
Grammar (5/5)
Good word usage and generally clean editing. Weird choice of colour-coding voices. (Not really 'grammar' but still impacts the reading process)
Story (4.5/5)
Personally I like it. The upside to being ocassionaly overburdened with lore is that it *does* make me feel like there's a lot going on. The thing that seems weird is how it feels like half the time the MC isn't actually the MC. Often the 'side characters' or world occurences steal center stage and give the impression that the MC is basically a vehicle to navigate the surrounding details. Still I think it says something that despite having

I may seem harsh on this review , dont take this the wrong way, english is not my first language so i am blunter .
Style score : 2/5
The chapters are unecessary long and the prose boring. With tons of info dumping on either lore or characters , its really hard to get through
Story score : 3/5
I found the lore original , but the story is still a simple magic academy
Grammar score : 5/5
Excellent on this point .
Characters : 2/5
Bland mc (mary suish at that), cast cliche straight out of a shonen academy harem(without being one) . The amount of super strong girls with tsudere or stoic character made me roll my eyes.
