Description

Axel, a boy out of his element, suddenly thrust into a different world, the vibrant city of Kinowa, the heart of Nu'tar. With nothing but his wits, he struggles to adapt to a place that is entirely foreign to him. Just as he begins to feel lost, a guiding hand helps him navigate the unfamiliar terrain.

Not wanting to draw attention to himself, he stays under the radar. However, Axel's attempts to remain unnoticed are thwarted by an unexpected law: everyone must attend an Academy to learn to control their magic and graduate.

As he grapples with his new life at the Academy, Axel must juggle his studies, manage his finances, and search for a way back to his own world. But the challenges keep piling up, and nothing goes according to plan.

I'm updating my review after the author completely overhauled their story after some reader feedback. It was a pretty low score, but it has earned a massive positive from me now.
The story used to be very fast paced, to the point where things happened one after the other without a sense of closure and acknowledgement, but no longer.
The story is now very well written, well paced, and information is more gradually being revealed over time. I can tell the author learned a lot in this time.
The protagonist figures things out when he needs to, has a clear moral compass, and a lot of struggles adjusting to the new world, which is well written.
Side characters are fleshed out, events are very organic, and the litRPG system is quite unique and developed beyond the story-related quirk he has.
I'm really enjoying the chapters, which now feel like they fly by in a positive way. There are several side plots already happening at once, but without feeling overwhelming, giving Axel and the others constant goals, progression, and depth.
I'm really glad the author revised the story (it was quite a large structural change), because I went from dropping it to now eagerly waiting for more. They've put in the work, and it shows.
Typos are few and non obstructive, the kind of thing that is normal when a writer doesn't have an editor, and they're active in the comments that suggest fixes. Accepting feedback also shows the willingness to improve, and that's crucial for every author.
All in all, this is worth a read, and I hope the author has a lot more to tell, because I'm enjoying it.
I would say my very minor personal gripe is that the "disposable evil thugs" that show in a couple of moments feel a bit too...stereotypical? But then again, I know how hard it is to make a sleazebag that isn't meant to last through the chapter sound organic without having to concoct a whole extra plot for a short scene, so I get it. It doesn't detract from the story as a whole, so it's not a big deal.

Sick of all gods thrusting people in other worlds. Isekai should be an anomaly. Why would Gods have time for mere mortals. The start of this novel is perfect ! More writers of isekai genre should begin like this. Also the MC seems cautious and wanting to lay low. That is the realistic behaviour a normal isekaid person should have...

Rough around the edges but that is fine, i have found the story enjoyable, it has shown reasonable growth an a somewhat accurate depection of someone who does not like killing or harming other do so and have guilt about it as many would
there have been a few times when someone thing has been mentioned suddenly without any prior notice like
having a phone, he just has it, comes out of nowhere
so far it has been enjoyable and i hope to see more from this author.

A good book the story was there but I could not get into the main character just not able to immerse myself into the book. I will put it to the side and try later and hope I can get to like the main character because the story is worth trying again

I write this review having read up to Chapter 73, so I feel that I have given the author enough time to let me know where the story is going.
Let's start with the easy section. I have no problems at all with the grammar. There are very few grammatical errors or spelling mistakes. The author has done a good job here.
The other sections of this review are going to be much harsher. The initial idea of a person being portalled over to a different world and being given a system to allow them to do magic in a different way from everyone else in the world would work much better if the author hadn't also had this happen 100 years before with a large group of other school students. That those '100' students turned into heros, founded a school but left no knowledge about how they did magic or how to deal with anyone else who may have been later portalled into their world strikes me as somewhat unbelievable. Surely the headmaster of the school would have not only some knowledge of the founders but also more than a passing understanding on how they entered the world and how their magic worked. If nothing else, if these '100' students weren't all killed off young, then there should still have been some around less than 30 years before. (this is assuming normal human life span and not magically enhanced ones)..
The story is very hectically paced and the amount of action that happens to the MC in such a short time is basically unbelievable. This makes it hard to not be thrown out of the story as I kept asking himself when the MC would get a minute to sit down and think but the author clearly doesn't want this to happen as whenever the MC does have a chance to stop and consider the situation they time skip (e.g. when MC is thrown in prison) or just don't have them thinking about their situation. The MC doesn't even explore the limits of the system as presented to them. They know that gold goes into their inventory and they manage to get it out from there but they never put the gold
