So far I'm getting an overpowered MC that gets reincarnated vibe but with no noticeable topic to really hook my interest. I'll read the next few chapter since I'm a big fan of the overpowered MC trope. What's irking me at the moment is the mother calling her son "Leo Papi" which means she's calling him Leo Father? For some odd reason.

I love this novel. Let's talk about it.

Main Character

Alright, our main character Kyle/Leo is quite enjoyable to read. He's not an a**hole, he acts rationally, he's not the type that gets blushed easily, and most importantly he's not a pe*vert. He's a grown man both in mind and behaviour. He's very wise, capable of deciding what's right and wrong. Quite charismatic should I say. As far as I read, I can't find any fault in him, other than that he's actually too perfect to be true. (Okay maybe his... more>> cold and harsh personality can be a flaw but I don't find it to be a problem). I'm waiting for him to show a flaw, like c'mon.

In the entire series, Kyle/Leo acts as a kind of guide for the young hero to become stronger. He views all his classmates, senior, and junior in the academy as young fledglings that need to be prepared for the last final battle. You might feel him a little bit distant with all the side characters, which makes sense since he's older than all his peers in terms of mental age. Still, there are fun and cute moments to enjoy with all the side characters which I mainly view as "grandfather playing with his grandkids moments'' lol.

Side Characters

I love all the side character. Kyle party member ; Luna, Aron, Risinas, and Dweno, Leo classmates ;Karl, Chelsea, Illyana, Chen Xia, Eliza, Abad, Celia, Chloe, Runia, Eiran and many more. All of them are so unique that you can differentiate them just by dialogue. I like that every side character have personality that you can categorize.

For example, Karl is the weak happy go lucky guy who actually quite talented. Eliza, is the ojou-sama type with a hidden tsundere heart. Illyana, is the comedic relief with her silly lines. Runia, is the honor student that kept her foul personality a secret. Eiran is the shy bookworm with a questionable imagination.

I mean, all of them are so different and distinct. You can't help to remember how all these characters speak and behave.

Plot

I'd say, this novel is very easy to read and understand. There are no underlying plot twists. No convoluted plot. There's no overarching and dragging arc. It simply moves with this formula (problem arises- MC fight it-problem solved). Not saying it's bad though but if you're looking for the tension gripping and suspense then this novel is not for you. This novel plot is totally predictable. Like you know that no matter how bad the situation is, our MC will see through it. Again it's not bad, it's just a matter of taste because for me every arc is very enjoyable to read. It's concise, not messy, it's very easy to follow.

I must say that I actually didn't expect the amount of angst that I get from this novel. I think around chapter 400 to 600, the arc between these chapters are so full of angst lol. I cried a few times, not gonna lie. It's always sad when talking about Kyle former party member. I hope that there's a side story for them when the main story is finished. Argh, seriously I get attached to Luna and Aron the most. Berkia too.

World Building

I think the world building is okay. There's not a lot of info dumping. You get some pieces of info here and there along the journey. Like it's enough to give you the picture how this world works. Not super impressive, but it's written well.

Power system

Again, very easy to understand. You literally don't need to remember bunch of sh*t of power terms. There's only 3 class that one can choose. Knight, Summoner, and Mage. That's it. Of course, each individual has some unique abilities that differentiate them than other people but mainly the power system works by dividing people into 3 categories.

Conclusion

Is this the best novel I ever read? No. Do I enjoy it? Very. I think this novel is great for casual read. Not too light, not too heavy. It's perfect if you're looking for a story where the MC is likeable and the side characters are not annoying. Truly a fun to read. <<less

*yeah its pretty much a straight shot plagiarism of damn reincarnation. if you want to read this exact story except written and translated better in every way go read that instead.

Start reading from maybe chapter 5?

The first chapter will make you want to never touch it again, and the next few arent much better. Chapter 6 is the standard 2 people about to try out for the super duper academy, one being the KNOWN genius and the other being the op MC.

At this point I'm not sure if its worth... more>> reading... but I will continue. I still consider the first chapter so bad that it makes the entire story almost unsalvageable though.

also.... 5000 years is pretty ridiculous. Not sure what the author was aiming for... but dear lord does it make you question things you dont want to.

also also.... the dialogue is toeing the line of childishness. I understand what the author was going for, and I'm pretty sure it's not a translation error. the author is writing at a 5/6th grade level because thats the target audience I suppose?

also also also I dont know the condition of the world yet... but this super duper academy is following the korean weirdness where only the best of the best of the best are allowed in, and there is a massive death rate for entreants and students. unless the school passes out insane elixers and skills and passives, there is no way in hell it would exist. a single very powerful family would ally with other families to attack and kill the entire faculty if their new heirs went there and died

*got to chapter 12, main character is a noble of 2 different houses. his parents own a mansion with servants, and the titles of f*cking marquis... and they cant afford to give their son any money, including the costs for weirdly expensive and mandatory clothes for the super duper academy. lowering the score to a 1. if you want to read it, have fun. its probably better than some things out there. <<less

Ive read this novel actually, but not from here. So I dont know about the translation or anything about that. Visser said that its like damn reincarnation but I read both and they dont match. This novel is Amazing and clearly Visser haven't read it all. Granted that the story starts before he enters the academy which is a bit boring but once you get the part where he actually enrolls it gets pretty exiting. The best part about this is when people actually discovers that there are 5 Great... more>> heroes, not just 4. And they find out that the Great hero Kyle is the one who defeated the boss. But that gets unraveled pretty slowly and in around 200 chapters. So you may have to wait a bit. But still the novel is pretty good. Its hinted to be a harem but story not done yet so we have to wait and ssee. Story is amazing one of the best in this site I believe. Up there with Flashing Genius. Give it a try <<less

What I like on this novel is that, the MC is glad that his friends gets more recognitions after 5000 years since he save the world, but bro's jealous coz his name is only available on Fairy Tales and not in the official records...

I can't exactly pinpoint why I fell in love on this novel, but the one I like the most here is his ... more>>

Spoiler

partial reunion on his former friends, via Hero Records...

[collapse]

As for romance, maybe because he's old inside, he only treat everyone kids, though so far, he has 6-7 candidate on being a couple (Luna and Lishinas excluded)... I exclude them coz both of them are dead anyways... 🤷🏾

Action is... Cool, ngl on that...

Overall, 9.5/10... <<less

Feels pretty mid.

Storyline is pretty common. Overpowered hero protagonist reborn and attends school to find out why he was forgotten.

There's some Hogwarts-esque elements, such as a point system, and a ball sport. Humbling aristocrats as well.

I didn't find anything really outstanding with this story.
