Academy’s Undercover Professor

Description

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

I wasn’t reborn with talent or ability, but at least my knowledge from earth allowed me to stay one step ahead in this other world.

Magic exists here, and new progress was rapidly being made in science while magic stagnated in the name of tradition. Using my earthly knowledge and not bound by the traditional thinking, I was able to do things other wizards couldn’t even imagine.

Still, inadvertently becoming an undercover professor for a mysterious secret society at the renowned Sören academy was never in my to-do list!

Fairly good reading.

The first few chapters are a bit of a cluster-ferp but after that everything is nice and streamlined.

The word-flow and writing style are pretty good (except for the first few chapters). The story itself is interesting enough, though the expertise of the MC is dubious it gets filled in a bit more as the story progresses. The general plot is entertaining but a bit out there, with a bit of intrigue mixed in. The overall atmosphere bounces between funny misunderstandings to broodingly gloomy at the snap of a... more>> finger.

Overall, a fairly good read. It's not the most outstanding reading out there, but it's good enough. <<less

The novel is pretty good. I first read it as a manhwa then read the novel afterward. Rudger is giving me the "Professor Snape" vibe from Harry Potter. I got tired of reading novels with harem involved so I liked this novel at the start but as the novel progresses the number of females who are involved with the MC increases. I'm okay with more female characters being added to the story as long as they're not gonna fall in love with the MC but as things stand, I think... more>> they're gonna fall in love with Rudger in the end. The author also added 'misunderstandings' to the fray so I kind of not feeling the vibe to continue reading this.

When Rudger thought if he should kill one of the female characters here I really supported that thought but was kind of disappointed with his choice in the end. Haha. Oh well, I'm not the author, so. And I read in the reviews that that female character has her redemption arc so maybe I'll continue reading this novel to see it. I hope it's a good arc since I'm kind of already fed up with another female character in this novel. <<less

I like it and would recommend it. It is good. So what if there are some coping which I never saw here, I would rather call it inspiration. It is good written and cosistent. I already read so many terrible novels in which story is so inconsistent that this, this is one of the best I read if you want to prove me wrong and give me something better that is not a romantic story. (Of course there are better novels like lord of mysteries or maybe evils god lackey... more>> but I think this is noe of the best) <<less

The MC is a transmigtator who arrives in a steam-punk world where new progress was rapidly being made in science while magic stagnated in the name of tradition. MC who become a professor by accident is your topical cold, elegant, full of dignity, but actually a good guy Op protagonist.

this novel could be said to be coated with cliches, misunderstanding, mystery, fantasy, adventure and drama. you could say it's to my liking... but all the characters are a bit shallow (at least they exist). Girls will simp for him because... more>> he helped them or notices them once (this harem-ish vibe which I really hate). Guys (most don't have a name) will either highly respect him or instead go against him.

Overall this work has high entertainment value anyway, and I can recommend as long it doesn't turn harem half way. <<less

The largest problem I found with the novel was its poor translation. I decided to quit due to it, as while to an extent I wouldn't mind shutting off my brain and reading this book, it takes effort to decipher what in the world they mean. Sometimes the translation is acceptable, other times you need to think for a moment. It's never unreadable.

The second problem is that this is an OP protagonist novel, and it features all of the problems and tropes that accompany that. Most other characters are cardboard... more>> cutouts, and it doesn't really feel like the world has people in it.

The past of the main character is confusing, and though it's been a while since I've last looked at the book, if I remember correctly, some of his past events make no sense.

The beginning, on the other hand, is a good idea poorly executed. <<less

Nah, after the third 'cool' persona this becomes boring. I can already feel the 4th, 5th and 6th persona creeping around the corner. Very gimmicky, I expected more. The core of the novel is great -- misunderstanding MC who gets entangled with many different secrets. But why does the author force him to be so badass? Really ruins the flair.

3/5

it is very intersting novel, the protagonist was very clever and myterious, side charaters are not bland and the world building is great. However im very confused to the guy the that the MC replace as proffesor. I think that character is not dumb enough to die because of reckleness.

there still plot hole, but its minimal.

This is a very fun story. MC is pretty dag-gum strong, but always maintains his modesty about his ability, in part due to his upbringing which comes up later in the story. Fights are very satisfying as MC isn't just your usual OP character. He's plenty strong, but uses his brain and fights intelligently, using everything he can at his disposal. It also has a good cast of supporting characters and builds on them. There are actual character arcs and good small arcs for good guys and villains alike. Bad... more>> guys aren't one-dimensional and often have solid backstories.

Spoiler

Also enjoy the journeys of MC as he travels the world to collect the teeth of various rare monsters to test the limits of what his unique friend Hans can transform into when stabbed by a tooth of animals or magic beasts.

You will not really see anything new here, but it is well done. Yes, MC is OP, but he is also very aware of his limitations and go out of his way to avoid conflicts that he would be in disadvantage (although he does understimate himself). Girls fall in love with him, he doesn't even notice, or doesn't care enough to think too much about it.

This series shines in one way for me: The setting. The setting is the beginner of a steam punk world with magic: meaning we have... more>> science and magic "coexisting" (not really, some mages despite science for no reason whatsoever). Now, it DEFINITELY needs some polish, but we don't see this very often. I just wish it didn't try to go for some overused tropes that everyone's tired of already (MC's master indentity for example). <<less

I really can’t give this any higher than 3, because from the ground up it’s a copycat, but it’s really poorly done. Not just the basic concept or idea, but as you read further in you find more and more concepts and story elements being copied from everything... from movies, to other novels... it really, really lacks originality. Maybe it’ll get better as it develops more, but I dropped it at chapter 110
