As a human being, Kaneki Ryo was a broken man. Being a monster with rationality, he was finally apprehended one day and sentenced to death. From there, through twists and turns, he was now a teacher at a school of magic. After three years of teaching, his school life began to undergo a transition in the spring of his third year as a teacher when a prodigy princess enrolled at the school.

This is an action horror story that outright rejects the conventional school teacher story.

Disclaimer: This is the translator.

All right. I originally do not want to write a review about this but it seems copycat websites has removed my notes in the prologue and I will be just mentioning it here before anyone attempt to read this novel cause the translator note in the prologue is the deciding factor in whether you want to read it or not.

There is no depth in the story or in character itself. The MC is a pure villain or a psychopath since the first series, the author did... more>> use that tag but the subsequent series did not use it. (Well, if he is a literal psychopath, who would be searching for depth in character anyway. The word psychopath already define that no progress can be made) Do not bother to read it if you are here to learn something meaningful from the story or searching for extensive world building or the like of it. There's no such thing in it or rather, even if such thing existed, if you read it, you can tell that is not the purpose of this novel. This is simply a novel for people who seeks darkness and want to venture into a paradise of madness. Nothing lower than that and nothing higher than that. It is simply for people with twisted view and in search of darkness and madness. And also, the sequel has been incorporated into the second series.

Here's a slight information about that.

The second series is a horror with action novel. While the third series is a high-fantasy novel with corruption, war, religion, politic, a dark fantasy anyway.

This novel always center on darkness and madness in both series. People with sanity, don't bother to read it. It's not for you. And I am translating it cause I am in seek of madness and darkness itself rather than having the typical mindset of people who read novels that want to learn something from the novel itself.

Once again, people with sanity, do NOT read it cause it's a waste of your time.

And also, if there is anyone that wanted to say that the author shouldn't create such a "meaningless" novel, I want to inform you this. This novel has won an award in Japanese novel contest (one of the major one) and is currently in the process of being turned into a manga. If you are going to argue how "meaningless and bad" it is, let me ask you in reverse, why would it win an award in the contest and be made into a manga? And one last thing, my translation is not accurate, cause the unreliable narrator is very prominent in this novel that I can't tell exactly what the author is writing. In fact, I have already fixed a lot of inconsistency. Beware of that. Good day to fellow seekers of darkness, people from the light carrying sanity, have a good day too of not reading this as it will simply lead you into a bad mood.

Edit: The translation for the series is still being continued on Fans Translation but simply not linked fully to Novelupdates unless I changed my mind. Do not go and arbitrarily submit the submissions. All submissions will be added by the translator themself (me). I have already warned before but someone still does it. And also, my numbering is different on the website and Novelupdates, you will mess up the numbering on here as Novelupdates one will be following the author's while mine is not. If you are interested in the novel, you can check on Fans Translation website itself cause it will not be fully uploaded (more than likely) to Novelupdates. By the time I am writing this, someone has added the chapters to Chapter 95. And that is not done by me and probably no further update to Novelupdates will be done. I think I have to emphasize this thrice or perhaps more than thrice, do NOT add my releases arbitrarily to Novelupdates AGAIN. <<less

I started reading this a few days ago, and because I wasn't binge reading I got confused a lot.

It's really as good as the translator says, BUT I still feel like it is a little bit TOO hyped up (maybe it's cos it feels a little chill for me, even with the scary fight scenes or is it because it's the world background/setting that I think of it this way)

The MC, I really can't tell what he's thinking. He's supposed to be a psychopath or a crazy killer, cold... more>> unfeeling I guess but he was able to be "Moved" in one of the chapters (? I think I'm the one who's confused here, or I'm just thinking way too deep about it)

I've just read 51 chapters right now. (-1star for the unreliable narrator haha) <<less

For the lack of review, I decided to write one.

First, I think the translator had done quite a good job on translating this. There might be confusing part because of the way original writer write it, all in all it's understandable without any problem.

Because of the unreliable narrator, it is certainly hard to understand Kanaki, the MC. In first place, I think he's actually made not to be understood considering he's a psychopathic killer. It is certainly not suited for people with moral because there's none here as we follow... more>> what MC is doing. MC's "like" or "favor" is very twisted and what happened is actually a little unexpected.

Spoiler

That he truly try to save that one student he's fond of. In a way I feel that there's something sinister behind that seemingly genuine word of his. Since even till end, I could not feel the sadness that he's not able to be with her. Just acceptance. Though, psychopaths do fell in love so maybe that's what happen to him.

[collapse]

MC is a monster that feel no guilt. He fully know what he's doing and feel nothing is wrong with that. There's no reasoning to what he does, it's almost similar like people play games or eat for fulfillment because to a high end psychopath, it's like that them and to the MC. This MC is not overwhelmingly OP. He's strong, yes, and he hide it until end where he actually need it. His unreliable narrator make the impression that he's more average than what he actually is.

There is no reformation or redemption. Not a speck of that. This MC is a very good actor that he acts like a follower/small fry almost half of the story to fool everyone even till the far of the chapter, it's still like that until you see the reaction of other characters. This novel is almost similar to [From now on we begin ethics] except that perhaps this MC give a more selfish reasoning and commit crime for no reason at all.

This novel is certainly not for those with reasonings. Or could not stand gore. Mention of torture and gore is fairly explicit. Well if you enjoy dark stories, and only dark stories that contain killings, no redemption or any other thing. Welcome, you might enjoy this. <<less
