Nic Tutt is a good student. He excels at all subjects. But his education serves only one purpose—to gain entry into the Ransom School.

Ransom is the most prestigious school in the country. Its alumni are destined to become the future leaders of Ranvar. Politicians, statesmen and, in some exceptional cases, mages. Only the brightest and the best get into Ransom.

But Nic doesn't care about any of that. He isn't determined to get into Ransom to further his prospects or better his career opportunities. He has another reason to want to enter Ranvar's most famous school.

It's like Harry Potter if Harry was more studious and less whiny. They both begin the story in low positions, but Nic isn't willing to allow that to stop him from fulfilling his ambitions whether it's meeting the girl or learning as much as he can.

Hi there, it's a bit early to write a proper review but i will come back for that when more chapters are out.
As it is now i think this story has quite a bit of potential: the grammar is, i would say, almost perfect ( i am italian though). The writing style is good, not too paced with the right stops at the right times and as for the plot i am liking it a lot, the politicians game played on the students is really intresting. I also like (for what little we know till now) how the world is written so far. Tha main character is also very well flashed out and we can start to get glimpses of the important side-characters as well.
Keep it up and good job!

Im a man of few words so ill keep it simple.
1.Writing style is serious,and high quality like in published works.
2. Im glad that finally 1st place dosen't go to reincarnation/OP MC novel.
3. The story is serious and quite interesting, has a dark noir feeling filles with mistery and each answer presents an array of questions.
4. Characters are believable, and deep,each one following their motivations and needs for now,slowly adapting to the trials you are planning for them.
Keep up the good work,take your time and remmember quality, not quantity.

The characters are intriguing; the world-building is immersive and free of heavy-handed exposition dumps; and the humor is refreshingly subtle. Arguably the most polished work I've read in RR. Keep churning out dem chapters.

I really cannot stress enough how good and entertaining this story is. It has everything you could want from a story and it keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. The only negative thing that I can say about it is that there isn't enough. I NEED MORE! and a week is soooo long. All jokes aside. I highly recomend this story to anyone and everyone.

This story is Great, there is nothing bad to say on it and just one advice.
The character have flesh, they feel human, a good chararcter is exactly how the author want (can be annoying or cool but it all being under the author will) and even if we have yet to see any "main antagonist", we can see the MC having difficulty with some other character but not instantly becoming their mortal ennemy.
I was honestly impressed by the style, the story suck you in and only let you go once you finished all available chapter, also theGrammar is perfect, by that i mean that any mistake that may exist do not bother the experience of reading this marvel.
In this story one of the other point that got me extremely interested is how deep the history of the world presented by the author is, it may not seem impressive but everything in the story is possible and logical.
First The father of Dizzy do not help the MC for nonsensical reasons but for logical reasons, also leaving the ability to join the noble rank for the lower class even during peaceful time while also suppressing them in those establishment lessen the tension between social classes but keep the "Newcomers" in low number.
Secondly the tactics explained are also possible and even clever, those are (at least in my country) not the first tactics everyone would think of, allying with someone to betray them after is classic but the precision on how they did it are interesting and original.
all of this to say this story is above a lot of those present on this website
i'm sad that english not being my maternal language i somhow lack the ability to truly express how impressed i was by this story.
also i want to bring to attention that this was written after only six chapter, but in those chapterthere was more content than what some stories can bring in fourty.
finaly i want to advise the author not to hurry, a part of what i loved in the story was The background of the world, there is indeed not fantasy element for the moments but

Interesting plot, very well written with some twists here and there.
The story has its own pace (slowish) so it may not appeal to everyone who wants action.
Will keep reading, but as of book 2, it feels like the plot is revolving around the same idea as book 1but with different names.

I really like the idea of the story and the premise was cool. The writting is good and it's well written. However at the end of the day after spend a whole afternoon reading I felt just bored because things were moving at a very slow pace and I couldn't get into it. I've dropped this novel because I couldn't feel invested in it enough to even want to find out more but I can easily see other enjoying alot more than me.

★★ 2.0
The first chapter I was a bit hesitant finding out the motivation of the MC to succeed. It was painfully generic & pathetic but I stuck with it & for the first twenty chapters it delivered some entertainment.
However the longer I read, the more obvious the major flaw of this story became, the female characters, they are either one note or complete cows. They spend most of the time brow beating the MC who is a spineless wimp who tolerates & seems to go out of his way for more female abuse. It's like he's a Japanese MC, incapable of telling a woman that her shit does indeed stink and she should just shut up and go away.
