The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I possessed the weakest character in my favorite game’s Hell Mode. I want to survive, but the way the main character is being controlled is atrocious.

It can’t be helped.

I have to stop the bad ending myself.

I was going to rate it 3 stars but change my mind because the main cast of characters are pretty good even the MC.

As for the review, this has a lot of cliches which I don't usually mind much, what I do mind is the repetitiveness the of the plot. As you read in the description, MC in transported to a game he used to play and once the story starts is when the plot is basically divided in two.

  1. MC fighting the boss of the next big event
  2. MC developing his relationship/friendship with the harem or with a new girl he met
#2 is always enjoyable for me. Author always finds a way to keep it entertaining and fresh for us, the girls are unique and likeable. I wish there were also... more>> some male characters that MC could befriend but oh well.

Another plus is that MC isn't the usual dense idiot who never notices when someone likes him. He knows and he sets boundaries (or at least tries to). He knows he doesn't have the time for a romantic relationship so that's why he doesn't reciprocate their feelings.

Now for #1, the complete opposite of #2; author doesn't try to keep things interesting and fresh. It is boring. There's nothing enjoyable about fighting "big bad bosses" that we never go to meet before the fight itself. There's no hype, no tension because obviously MC wont lose. There's no consequences nor bad aftermath that lets you know that IT WAS a big bad boss fight.

The only exceptions were the first few boss fights and it was because (minor and obvious spoliers)

Spoiler

Thats when future harem members watch his fight and they start to uncover mc's secret identity

[collapse]

Other than those moments, the boss fights aren't enjoyable, at least not to me. Don't get me wrong, they are written good but they are predictable. You can literally just skip entire boss fights because nothing unexpected happens (with only a few exceptions). I wouldn't mind this fights if it wasn't for the fact that there are SO MANY of them. Like I said before, the plot is divided in two, and it switches between them after the latter is over. Preparing for boss and the boss fight itself for a few chaps >>> spend time with harem for a few chaps >>> then back to prepare for next boss. Over and Over again.

One thing that I hate is that author spends so much time giving us all the details to the next "big bad boss fight". Example: MC starts a monologue in his head, in which he talks about the next big event where he'll fight the next boss fight. But he first tells us how that event/boss fight should've been in the game originally. He tells us how exactly would have happened, who was involved in the fight, how it ended, how the original MC would've beaten it. Also how that event would have affected the academy and other characters.

After he is done with that, he starts telling us how his past actions could affect/change the coming event (sometimes MC kills enemies before they were meant to be killed in the game), and he comes up with a few theories on how it could have change. And after he is done, he then finally tells us his plan for the event and how he will be preparing for it.

All of that ^^ is way too much information in a short amount of time and for an uninteresting enemy that most people will probably not remember. Let me talk about another novel quickly; Omniscent First-person's viewpoint. I have read 111 chaps of that novel, and in those 111 chaps there have been a total of 3 big enemies (maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not), with a lot of space in between them. I can name you right here and right now who those enemies were, what were their goals, how there were defeated, their fighting style, their story.

That is something that I can not do with the enemies in this novel. In those 82 chaps that I read, there have been like ten big enemies and I cannot named even one. The only thing I can say about them is that they are pure evil because they are demons, nothing more.

This novel shines the brightest when there is no "big bad enemies" (with very few exceptions). Now let's talk about another novel, Interspecies wives. I was very surprise when I was reading that novel, because in the first major battle, they only showed us the first few minutes of the battle and then they skipped until the ending of the battle. And I was very glad, bc everyone knows the outcome of the battle without reading it. So why waste all that effort in writing something that everyone already knows. If you are going to write a battle, at least do something different, up the stakes, kill a character, make it so that it greatly injurers physically or mentally the MC or someone close to him, ANYTHING that will keep the reader interested.

Sadly this novel barely does that when it comes to fights

I have been shitting on the novel a bit too much so lets end it at a good note. I really enjoy this MC, that is something that I normally don't do. I wish they expanded a bit more on him. There are times where I as a reader feel like he is depressed or overwhelm with all the responsibility he has, to the point that I sometimes feel sorry for him, those are the stuff that I wish were expanded on. Instead of another boss fight, they could just develop him more, and then write one of the girls helping him through those tough times.

The girls are very good, I like them all, specifically Dorothy. Luce a close second. MC interactions with them are also great. There was one of the girls that I didn't really like much; but then something happen and then not only her character but also her interactions with MC greatly improved.

The fights between other students are good, and the way MC gets through them while being so weak is entertaining and enjoyable. Mc's training is also enjoyable and even inspiring.

Like I said twice before already, everything outside the events/boss fights is really good. You just have to ask yourself, are you willing to put up with the boring parts just to get to the good parts?

For now I am, but Idk if I'll change my mind in the future, but at least for now, I'm willing to put up with it.

To be honest, in the last two boss fights, I just 'speed-read' them. So it has been easier to put up with it <<less

The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter follows a fairly common template but executes it in an entertaining fashion. It tells the story of Isaac, a gamer who becomes an extra character in a fantasy RPG. While the set-up is familiar, the novel succeeds by avoiding many pitfalls of the genre.

Isaac makes for a refreshingly grounded protagonist. Despite receiving a special power, he struggles against human foes and only excels at fighting demons. This keeps his progression feeling earned as he methodically trains himself up from a weak student.

The supporting... more>> cast provides variety and depth beyond common tropes. The female leads in particular are well-realized, with distinct motivations and evolving relationships with Isaac. Even side characters feel human rather than just plot devices.

The story balances school life, adventuring, and romance at a measured pace. Isaac’s demon hunting provides exciting action sequences. Meanwhile, the mystery surrounding Isaac’s transmigration adds intrigue. The narrative strings the reader along with plot twists and new story arcs rather than growing repetitive.

Overall, The Academy’s Weakest avoids the pitfalls of many gaming-transmigration stories by ensuring consistent character development. Isaac and the cast grow together through interpersonal relationships, not just level-grinding. With steady progression and an engaging plot, this novel succeeds as an entertaining fantasy read. <<less

a very fun read and a must read novel, story is interesting and will keep you crave for more

MC is hardworking and not your typical MC and he's powerful against demons, his fight against demons is well written/well explained.

As for the heroines they are kinda lacking though in my opinion :/ I think its because im fed up already with those kinda tropes but hey its not bad! Maybe they will have character developments in the future.. Who knows.

Overall 7/10 (for now) I want to read the whole thing :p

Demon Limited Hunter is a story that although it seems pretty cliched with its name and plot, manages to become a pretty good read and interesting story. Probably the most interesting aspect of this novel is the interactions between the protagonist Isaac, and the heroines of the story. Also how he slowly becomes stronger as the plot progresses.

The story starts when our protagonist is sudenly transmigrated into his favourite game as the weakest character, but there is a catch thanks to the extra level points he got before transmigrating he... more>> uses it on combat vs demons. And like that is how he becomes the strongest whenever he is fighting a demon, otherwise he is really weak.

The premise of being a OP character but at the same time not is the selling point of this novel, and how our protagonist does everything he can to improve himself and become stronger without relying on his cheat ability.

And also what makes this novel intresting is the relationship between Isaac and the heroines. Most of the female main characters that we have seen thus far are pretty interesting and charming in their own way. <<less

The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter overcomes its cliché title and premise to deliver an entertaining story with proper pacing and multidimensional characters.

Protagonist Isaac starts off weak after transmigrating into a game as an extra, but leverages a demon-hunting system to grow in power. However, he only gains boosts when fighting demons specifically, creating an engaging balance where he's OP against monsters but struggles in other conflicts.

The academy setting is downplayed compared to immersive fight scenes and Isaac's bouncing between heroines. Romance is a subplot that develops slowly and... more>> realistically. The diverse love interests feel like actual people with fleshed out backgrounds and goals.

Isaac himself is witty and likeable rather than a typical obtuse self-insert. Side characters have their own roles beyond propping up the protagonist. While the early chapters establish a solid foundation, the story continues to expand in scale and stakes while unveiling secrets about Isaac's past.

There's a good blend of lighthearted school life, bloody demon battles, and emotional drama. The novel subverts expectations by fleshing out tropes commonly played straight. With steady writing quality and broad appeal, The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter executes the genre well enough to entertain veteran readers. <<less

Sooo this novel has a unique premise in that the MC's strength is very situational. As the title suggests. Against demons. You're gonna absolutely despise this novel if you dislike misunderstandings in novels because thats what the entire novel is based on but everyone sees the MC clashing with demons and misunderstand how strong he is. This allows for everyone to respect him while keeping the stakes in battles against weaker, non-demon opponents.

My primary complaint is that the romance is somewhat slow compared to other Academy Transmigration but tbh that... more>> probably has more to do with the rate at which Genesis TLs is translating this. I'm sure it'll be Gucci if I'm binging. The misunderstandings also get a bit excessively sometimes but it's just a minor flaw. <<less

I would rate Demon-Limited Hunter a 4.5/5, it is a really good novel in my opinion. The novel has several good points along with some minor bad ones. For starters, the characters are good including both allies and antagonists.

They have good backstories, presentation, and are memorable in my opinion. Even though the story is confined to the academy settings, the slight glimpses at other places and areas add a subtle touch at world building.

The power system, or in this case magic, has a good sense of versatility (Especially when doing... more>> combinations or joint spells). The story is enjoyable with excellent pacing and isn't boring or a slog to get through for newer readers and is overall an enjoyable read.

Now it wouldn't be a review without mentioning the stuff I didn't like, firstly, the enemies at the start are really lack luster. I mean, I get that MC is suppose to be powerful against demons, but the fights are so short and lack tension.

Another thing I dislike is how the main character hides his identity (Which while it's fine that he wants to hide it, it can be frustrating when there is clear evidence against him).

This novel is quite good in my opinion, again, the bad points are minor so this would be something I'd totally recommend. <<less

Waking up in the body of Isaac, the weakest side character of the game, our MC decides to take matters into his own hands after watching the real Main Character fumble and faint while facing a demon. Investing the points he obtained after using a cheat in the game, he becomes a Demon-Limited hunter. With his powers being below average under normal circumstances, he becomes one of the strongest beings in the presence of Demons.

Not just being satisfied with the limited powerup, Isaac sweats blood and tears, pushing himself to... more>> get stronger. Though the system does aid him, it's not all powerful or unconditional. Using his in-game knowledge, he takes advantage of all possible scenarios to aid his growth.

Aside from Isaac and the original MC, there's a huge cast of characters. Each character is well fleshed out, having a part to play in the story, instead of just being spectators. Here I can clearly state that Isaac isn't the dense harem MC we usually get to see. He clearly notices the feelings of the girls around him, even stating that he doesn't mind having a harem. Though he does hold out on giving them an answer till he completed his main goal.

To sum it up, a pretty entertain academy isekai story with good balance of humor and suspense to keep you hooked and wanting more. <<less

This isn't a bad work, but it could be better.

My overt observation and comparison is that its inferior to "Fated To Be Loved By Villians"

It feels like it has the same dynamic in power being subjective to a context, and it also feels like a similar tone, but the feeling I get is that one is taking itself a little to seriously, and the other is just enjoying every element of what the setting, plot, and character arcs lead us through, and nailing everything with an A+...I wish I had... more>> more to say about this novel in comparison but there really is an apples to apples comparison to be made here.

The novel is definitely fun if you enjoy this sort of story, but there is a superior work if you wish to dig it up. <<less

This novel isn't bad, although every part of it is some kind of cliche. I would say that it gives you exactly what you would expect from its genres and description.

Pros:

- What I liked the most in this novel is really fast paced plot. While reading, pace of hero becoming stronger and clearing different "game" chapter wasn't decreasing at all. There were almost no fillers and those which presented felt like it's needed for fan service and small rest from main storyline.

- All characters are kind of cliched, but there... more>> were no irritating character, and I don't need more from this kind of novel.

- I'm not a big fan of harem genre, but here it's kind of implemented in a fun way, there were lots of yandere, tsundere and other kinds of gags, which sometimes were even fun to read.

- Plot is consistent and logical through almost 90% of chapters. This is a really rare thing that I wasn't facepalming every 10-20 chapters like I would on almost every harem-fantasy-harem novel.

Cons:

- I don't really like some main plot twists, it felt like brazilian drama at some moments.

- Almost no male characters except for main hero. I would say that every strong character except for main hero is woman, and it sometimes catches the eye and you remember what genres this novel has.

Overall, I really liked it and if to compare with other harem-fantasy-academy novels in current top-25 I liked it the most (I've read it till the end and it's really rare for me). <<less

By all rights this novel shouldnt work. In fact I found an mtl for this a while back, read 30 chapters and put it down. The reason for this was that I felt there was a lack of stakes, the characters were one dimensional and just me feeling a burnout from reading these korean game/ novel academy isekais. That was untill I saw it was decently popular and gave it another chance... and I was honestly blown away.

Everything about this novel just screamed that it shouldnt be as good as... more>> it is, that it shouldnt work, that its lacking so much that makes a story great... and yet it just works. Instead of running into roadblocks because of the way the story is told, it keeps going untill you start believing its great... and thats why its great.

It makes you believe that its better than it actually is. In that way it reminds me of the villain wants to live. But unlike that one, this novel knows exactly what it is and doesnt oversell itself that its deeper than the ocean and more complicated than a course at a med school. Its depth and stakes feels so fabricated at first, but just enough for you to stick around untill it actually delivers on its promises and keeps going untill it actually becomes great.

The author is clearly improving and building upon what he teased hundreads of chapters ago. Like a mystery that been around for the whole novel suddenly becomes a center piece to the whole plot.

All of this would honestly be pointless if not for the characters. They are what carries the plot at the start. And by that I mean the protagonist. On the surface he seems like any other protagonidt from one of these types of korean novels, but what makes him special is the way he deals with everything. I dunno if im right in saying this, but the man feels like a sigma male. He just goes in, does what he wants to do. Mans on a grind so that he can save the world, while at the same time is so casual about making a harem. His atitude towards it is like why not. The man isnt even trying, but just accepts it and moves on.

There is also rival character in the novel. The man isnt even that important to the plot and seems like complete fodder at first... but then he gets the greatest character development known to man. There was no point to making him one of the best characters in the story since he doesnt do much in the plot, yet whenever he gets screen time its judt honestly amazing. You are actively rooting for him to give it his all even though he doesnt stand a chance against the protagonist. And the best part is that the protagonidt sees his efforts and out of respect will compete with him, but wont give him any sort of comfort or be buddy buddy with him.

Also noteworthy is the harem. Some of the girls feels slightly pointless/ fill a niche so small that it could have been just one character (but they are still great). But then there are my favorites. Dorothy and Alice. I wont go in depth on them, but I will say that they are the Rias and Akeno of the series (but less friendly with each other). By that I mean their dynamic is similar.

I could go on about a number of things in this novel and spoil things, but im gling to shorten the next point as much as possible.

This story to me feels like it does a bunch of things for no reason. It could cut its cast in half and no value would have been lost. Same goes for some events and plot points... yet these same things also just add to the story. The author just loves to be extra with the most random of things.

That said its an amazing novel that keeps getting better and better and its hard to put into words why that is. I have just chopped it up to the fact that it works. <<less

A fairly decent transmigration academy novel. Far from a literary masterpiece, but the story and the way the plot unfolds is pretty interesting.

One gripe I have with the novel is the fight scenes. The MC is op against demons, so he basically oneshots them. I get that it fits in line with the narrative, but there's virtually no tension, as you can already imagine how the fight will end.

Other than that, it's a fun novel, and I could think of worse ways to pass the time. Also Dorothy is best... more>> girl and her presence made me give an extra star

Super rocommended, a very good novel!!! MC has a good construction, explains why he is dominated (even if it is only with the demons) and the interactions in relation to the characters are very fluid and logical, without anything too forced. The fMC are well presented and the author presents well the relationship between them, the good thing is that the MC is not desperate to get women (being a h**ny dog) and has in mind the main focus.
And his growth is something to note would be, that rapido... more>> but has logic, he has a system that helps him and not just deliver a lot of powers dominated, I think good and does not spoil the dynamics of the work. As I said before, I highly recommend it. <<less

"The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter" is an enjoyable, albeit generic, isekai novel that follows the story of a transmigrator named Isaac who finds himself in a game world that he used to play. The unique aspect of this novel is that the main character's strength is situational - he's incredibly powerful against demons but weaker against non-demonic opponents. This leads to many misunderstandings and humorous situations throughout the story.

The novel is an easy read with a somewhat predictable plot, making it perfect for taking your mind off things.... more>> The story is filled with misunderstandings, which may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it does add a layer of humor to the story. The characters are intriguing, and their interactions with the main character as they uncover his secrets are entertaining.

While the story has its flaws, such as the lack of immersion due to the author revealing that the main character is from another world, it still manages to be a fun, quick read. The world-building is well done, and the characters are fleshed out, making for an enjoyable experience overall.

In conclusion, "The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter" is a decent isekai novel that may not be a literary masterpiece but is still worth a read if you're looking for something lighthearted and engaging. The misunderstandings and situational strength of the main character add a unique twist to the story, making it an enjoyable escape from reality. Give it a chance, and you might find yourself pleasantly surprised. <<less
