The MC starts with an unyielding, genius personality in the first few chapters, claiming that he prefers death to compromising his beliefs. However, as soon as the school arc starts he becomes an incredible pushover. The girl that had him beaten in the street by thugs as a child gets a free pass even though it leads to him being bullied. He saves the bullies that were tormenting him, etc. And just bends over backwards for everyone like a moron. Not sure how anyone can have a good impression of such a tr*sh character. Dropped.

Wher do I start, first Amy was the cause of a traumatic event for MC, it's borderline s*xual in nature. When she appeared years later, she claimed to have "changed her way", yet the first thing she did was threaten MC with violence and blackmailing. A few chapters later she had ashallow recognition of her wrongdoing, then did something out of concern for mc's safety, which is a good sign for redemption. After that event she did not apologised, nor talked about the past incident or her bullying, the author to write some tsundere banter because it's "cute". Next chapter there was another opportunity to confess, she did not and just shouted that she and MC were lovers, and everyone just carried on as if she never threatened MC twice with violence.

For the forced romance because the author deemed a tsundere female lead was a must

his reaction is quite the contrary to the 1* reviews. He exhibits a similar stance to her fake declaration of a 'relationship' as he did for his friend when his friend declared their friendship

but is still detached and not really interested in her. Just not denying it as if he was a servant, is still as he was still a servant and yet is a

commoner while she is a high ranking noble. (The 1* reviews seemed to forget that.) He is

very much treating it as though he is a detached servant who can't outwardly go against her orders; however, he doesn't really

do anything nor seek her out.

He refuses her help repeatedly and assisted her during the fight scene out of a sense of obligation since he was used as the excuse the 'bad guys' to put her in a dangerous situation; where her fake declaration/romance excuse came in. It doesn't really develop more than that for him. She totally becomes a tsundere, but hasn't recognized her feelings yet.

He treats the situation as something to put up with and continues along his own path despite constantly dealing with the consequences of her actions.

I'm all for her feeling guilty, she should, but she effectively faces 0 consequence for what she did.

Again, she does feel guilty and tries to offer help, but it just didn't sit well knowing that the other characters who do terrible things are punished and end up apologizing and changing, but the FL hasn't even offered the former. Even when she realized that her bullying him into delivering food to her, she didn't bother to apologize after when he saved her.

She thought she was saving the MC at one pointed and needed to be saved herself, and during her attempt at trying to cover for him, she managed to make his situation even worse which accidentally incited a ton of bullying. This wasn't exactly her fault, but she expresses an incredible lack of awareness. When talking about other people bullying the MC, she doesn't even realize that she'd been doing something similar herself.

The FL clearly wants to be helpful, but knowing of the bad things that she's done, being the first instance of someone doing something heinous, it feels anticlimactic to see that she is the only person who gets away without even offering an apology for something she knows she's wrong about.

If you read the novel, you must prefer Reina (blue-hair noona) as female interest. Cuz I do too. However, I think there is too much hate on Amy. Yes, she ordered the men to pretty much physically abuse Shirone; but she didn't intend to. Yes, she did threaten & try to humiliate Shirone; but because she feared that he'd "blackmail" her and lead to her expulsion. Yes, she made him her "lover;" which I think it's quite cliche but it's a good way to progress with her (lame but it works). Yes, she got herself into trouble because of HERSELF while Shirone acted like a pushover after rescuing her; but from Shirone's perspective (since he only read a note), she got into trouble because him. Wow, she does look like a bad character. BUT Foremost, people ignore that Amy only knows him as commoner kid that she met by coincidence. So when they met again in school, you can't expect her to immediately feel guilty. WHICH She does feel guilty, but people really ignore that part. IT'S NOT FORCED ROMANCE. From how I read it, Shirone doesn't hold any grudge against Amy, and Amy progressively wants to help him. It's pretty organic if I say so myself. Noona all the way tho, but I don't want people hating on Amy

Everyone will agree that the scene with Rian was pretty pog. But people expected that Shirone will act mature just like that. So when Shirone entered the school of magic and seemed like a pushover, people immediately felt disappointed. There is nothing wrong liking a strong/independent protagonist, but Shirone is still in the progress of learning things he never ever learned. Even when interacting with Amy, you'll see that Shirone sometimes tries to be mature while sometimes flustered; he's expressing himself the way he believes is right, which I like.

This Jake guy has an inferiority complex and ACTUALLY abused dozens of students until they don't want to go back to school. After a series of nonsensical immaturity coming from Jake, he realizes that he fked up. While many, including me, expected his expulsion, the author decided to make Jake leave school for 2 years and has an ordeal to beg for forgiveness to all of those victims he abused. This is lame as well, but what's even more lame is the conversation between Amy and Jake when he's leaving. Anyways, this does leave a bad taste, but it isn't too much to criticize about because....

Heavens mission and the Graduation Exam! They were done so extremely well and completely flipped my expectations but in great ways! I never thought there would be danger or trouble in "heaven", but it was great!

ends up defeating someone the main character struggles with. The leader of probably the most dangerous mercenary group is a amazingly written women. 3 out of 4 of the strongest characters are women too

lots of unique n differing perspectives later in the novel — VERy VERY GOOD. ion like where everyone disagrees or agrees on the same stuff cuzits lowkey annoying and boring ion kno how yall read allat. story explores these things such as a logical approach vs emotion and morality.
