THIS NOVEL IS SO MUCH FUN PLS READ IT

This story is about a graduate student in korea who got reincarnated as the youngest son of Wardanaz family, a famous achmage lineage. Because his life as a graduate student is so hellish, he swear to never make that choice again. But as the title suggest, his wish never came true.

This novel is a full on comedy and the jokes are really funny, albeit a bit repitative. It usually poke fun at how Lee Han (MC) deal with absurd situation pushed to... more>> him be the professors with his absurdly high amount of mana and how crazy he is about studying. (Yes, despite him repeating that he hate school many time, he is acually the ideal student for every professor. You teach him how to multiply and he will do calculus. Typical high acheiver student. Anyone who said he is lazy is just reading it wrong

Spoiler

He will attend lecture on every magic lecture there is to attend (normal student choose 1-2 major, some freaks choose 3) currently he is studying alchemy, black magic, fantasy, summoning, transformation, foresight, elemental (he mainly use water, lightning, ice, dark and fire), enhance (?? Idk its call

), healing, blood magic, music and divine magic. The last 3 is not in the curriculum he just learn it idk why. And he got top score for all of that above, including arithmatic and language. (Also combat magic but he is the only student there anyway) By top score I mean perfect score. Just what you expect from the person who study in free time. He just hate resting at this point.

[collapse]

Yeah as I said this novel focus on comedy from how competant the MC is and how absurd the situation is Einroguard is.

Spoiler

like suddenly its winter because the senior accidentally summon the ice spirit king or sth, chimera from senior's experiment roam the school, the principle (lich) form an undead army and attack the dorm at night as a midterm exam, the student has to boil tree bark as an emergency food because food provided there become a currency in the black market that is founded be the student, river spirit suddenly goes rampant and now theres flood. And all of this has to be solve by freshmen (MC) because professor couldn't care less and the senior can survive just fine without solving them, so they don't. So most of the time MC will be the one who solve it

[collapse]

I feel like these bizarre school situation make this novel really stand out and uniqe. Most school life novel I see (I didn't read them much but well...) rely on some event to happend for the story to be exiting, like a sudden tournament arc, terrorist attack, etc. This novel doesn't need those at all because just surviving in this school is that much entertaining. It may seem like the pacing is to slow when 618 chaps in and they haven't started their 2nd year yet but if you acually read it you will notice that it is totally reasonable considering how many thing is going on in MC's school life. (Just summer break alone is around 100 chaps. There is that many)

Another point I like about this novel is it's character. I have to admit that they are not complex or 3 dimentional or whatever that is. But all of them has their own unique point and charm. Most of the student may seem s*upid at first, and they acually are. I mean, , , they are 15? It's natural to be childish and a little s*upid. There are many memorable cast, like Gainando (gosh hes so silly I love him) the lich principle (his relationship with MC in latter chaps is really adorable, they are really on the same wavelength) and my favorite character, professor Volladi.

Spoiler

every scene he appear, I just laugh uncontrollably. He is so effortlessly funny. How he just appear out of nowhere is so funny and how he acually care for MC and express those affection in a way that MC hate the most like beating him up so that he could be the greatest combat mage to ever exist when he just want to got good grade and be an official/civil sevant. And he likes tea! he dislike meat but loves vegetable and fruit. Isn't he cute???

[collapse]

The best part for me is that THERE IS NO ROMANCE!!! NO HAREM!!!! FINALLY!!!!! although the manwha has a lot of japanese op MC harem there is no romance in this novel at all. At this rate I think he's gonna get marry to his work. There are many female friends he is close with but his relationship with them (and most of the students) is more like a parent. He just take care of them like they're his child. (But I ship him with Gizelle/Yoner tho. They 're both cute...)

This review is not very organize but that shows how much I like this novel. Fr please read this it is really fun please I beg you OTL

+Update

It's been almost 2 year since I started this novel and it's safe to say that this has become my favorite novel and my comfort read. I read the lasted update everyday and occasionally reread this every time I don't know what to read. I really want to encourage you all to read this novel, even if you just want to kill some time, it's worth it. My opinion on it had change a bit compare to when I was writing this review, so I will be writing it down below

Spoiler

a lot happen after chaptor 603, where I last write the review. The point that changes the most in my opinion is charactor. Well, not that it changes a lot, but it is a very welcome changes for me.

List of changes I found interesting

  • Gonadaltes (skull headmaster) backstory. He was a prince from a small kingdom in three kingdom's era. He has a noble goal of getting rid of all suffering. And he was very good nature back then. Like, really good. Super kind and loving.
  • The addition of skull principal's crazy clone. We learn that in the process of becoming a lich by abandoning his emotion and desire, those thing sometime condense and become a being of their own. So far we have been introduce to pride (my favorite charactor and was the main driving force for, imo, the greatest scene in this novel) and greed (who appear recently, scam the MC, and left) There is also his past prince identity. This is one of the way we learn more abt his charactor and I've been captivated by him ever since. this is also where we see the (very subtle) changes in mc's goal and motivation.
  • Wardanaz family reveal. Isn't it surprising that he has a mother? there family is weird and eccentric. His mom is an introvert who would erase people memory of her, she and the MC met like 2-3 time in 17 year of MC life. His oldest brother is some kind of a control freak/manipulator. His second brother is loved by the spirit. The eldest and parent is usually busy with exploring outer space, so they don't interact much. But they are very loving family!
  • Professor boladi (vampire professor) backstory.
    there was a story about his revenge on the demon cult who kill his clan. Also his relationship with skull principle when he was a student. I love them so much
  • Less school time. Although I like the school bit quite a lot, the part that happen outside are also very entertaining. A lot, and I mean, A LOT of thing happen after first year end. There are also more fight scene like the fight with demon duke, tree spirit trapped in the cane, the skull principal himself, the evill god/spirit, which is well written and flow really smoothly. I also love how, even in dire or serous situation, the author still find their way to put some funny bit in the chapter, keeping the tone consistent.
    [collapse]
This novel, at least in my view, has a lot of thought put into it. You can read it turning you brain off, but if you pay attention, you will notice a lot of foreshadowing, (subtle) charactor growth/depth and intriguing lore. I wish I can make more people reading this novel with my review. And I hope more people recognize this gem. <<less

This novel is a masterpiece atleast to me, it has similiar humour as in "Running away from the Hero", the novel uptil where I've read so far is pretty enjoyable and is mainly focuses around how Lee Han our main character tends to deal with the absurd situations his proffessors put him into much like real life proffesors.

The only thing our MC has similair to a so called cheat would be his nigh infinite supply of mana, in his words

"If something doesn't work with magic, it means your not putting... more>> enough magic into it"

ngl though I enjoyed this novel, binged through it pretty quick but if the first 60 or so chapters doesn't keep you vested you probably won't enjoy it

(also this is peak comedy and adventure atleast to a student to me, I relate to him on a personal level) <<less

Gotta be honest, after the first 100 chapters, It gets boring. Some will say it's fun, but I won't really recommend it. It's very average as the MC is just too overpowered. He's neither hard-working nor lazy. He's very similar to other stories where an MC wants to be lazy but unintentionally over-achieves. You can figure out how each chapter will turn out after a few loops. If you just want to see an MC dunk on people, praise him for being better than others while dealing with horrible... more>> people, It's a decent read. But you actually wanted to see comedic scenarios with the cast of characters where it's not just the MC, you should look elsewhere. Greatest real estate developer is a lot better in that the cast of characters are fun and they play off of each other rather than rely on the MC's reaction to things.

It's very much like a university vers. Of Hogwarts where the main cast is Harry Potter and his professors. Would prefer if the jokes surrounding each teacher were a bit more original and did more than challenge the MC to use more of his infinite magic supply. Unfortunately, series suffers from WN syndrome where the author just tries to drag it out. Reviews are great though from raws as it's not supposed to be more than a short-read comedy where you might be on the bus looking for a laugh. Where the characters aren't that important, similar to short comics like Cyanide & Happiness. Gainaido is memorable as a side character as he takes on a similar role as Ron, being the subject of the joke, typically making him out as a lost cause, but he does very little much like his sister. Really wanted him to interact with Lee Han more. Really feels like Lee Han doesn't have any friends at school, just kids who aren't like him. <<less

It's a very tedious and boring story, It reminds me of gintama but the comedy is 1/4 as effective.

The main character feels like a self-insert character who is praised for just being a normal person, the only other time he's praised is for having alot of mana which he is born with not earned like in (jobless reincarnation for example). But due to it being a comedy, a plot point of having too much mana is bad and he can't even use it at all is immediately introduced. The author... more>> also gives the MC swordmanship talent, but because it's a comedy the MC is actually taught to handle every single weapon in existence and he mostly uses his staff as a spear because "funny"

All the side characters are just so one-dimensional and dumb, like literally dumb. The story portrays them as literal ret*rds that the MC can run laps around while he scam every single one of them. You expect me to believe that every single nobles and royalties can act this dumb and still survive? If it's one or two outliers then it's believable but every noble character is portrayed this way.

I also just noticed that it has over 990 chapters and is still ongoing. Call me crazy but a dumb low quality story with no focus and no substance having almost a thousand chapter and counting just fits a certain kind of genre of novels.

In short if you're here for a self-insert comedy CN novel, you're in the right place. If you're here for a KR novel, keep looking. <<less

One of the best magic academy novels. Unlike other novels, this one actually focuses on the worldbuilding and magic learning, its like u r transported right into one of the classrooms and can feet urself learning what the students do. I like revenge regression stories as much as any other, but we often skip their learning arc, and this novel does it soo well. The concept itself might seem pretty generic but the way its delivered will make anyone happy.

Every arc seems interesting and reads like a slice of life... more>> story, the prblms are serious enough to keep u hooked, yet they dont stress u out and are easily solved. The writing is incredible and explains the magical aspects quite well. I feel like a lil kid again reading harry potter books.

The best aspect of this would have to be the interactions between characters. Unlike other op protagonist stories adapted to manhwas where MC is the lone-wolf and destroys everything alone, here the side characters play a huge part in the story. U can relate to ur school days, especially if u were a topper, and can understand the frustrations of the students. The humor of the story is quite good as well.

The MC is not without flaws, but I love his attitude towards things. He is a hardworking student and is genuinely kind to the other students as much as he might say otherwise. The money-making aspect of him is pretty practical and funny. But he is a literal troll, haha. His inner dialogues v/s what he actually says, his cunning manipulation, everything makes the story quite interesting.

Its a great past time story, interesting arcs, good world building, likable side characters, cunning troll MC, and above all magic academy actually focusing on magic curriculum. Absolutely love it, would def recommend it <<less

Enjoying it a lot. It's fresh to read something in a magic school setting without the destined person saving the world card. This is not about a person who is lazy but overachieves, this is about a diligent person who wants to do well to make his future easier. The interactions between the MC and his friends are cute plus the students vs professors setting is hilarious. And I take it as a plus point that there is no romance (well till the point I read). This is basically the... more>> shenanigans of boarding school students in a magical world. If you are looking for a action packed serious web novel then it's not for you, if you are fine with a light hearted story without the world hanging in balance then go for it. It's very entertaining. <<less

I love it, it's super funny. All the shenanigans that MC and his friends do are so hilarious. All the misunderstanding, the pain from overstudy, and the pain of expectations that MC get throughout the story lol it's making me sad but laughing at the same time.

The pace is quite slow for me, but I think that's the charm. You really get to know what MC do in the academy. Like srsly, every subject is get explored in detail so can't help to feel like you're learning beside the MC.

There's... more>> no doubt that this novel can easily reach 2000+ chapter by the current pace. I mean, MC just started his second year in chapter 700+ lol now imagine if he's staying in the acamdey up to fifth year.

If you're looking for fun academy story, this is it. THIS IS THE ONE. It's Harry Potter but make it 10 times funnier.

I don't really recommend this novel to anyone who's looking for some action. There is some action in this novel, but just like a tiny bit. This novel really focus in the academy life, so if you think you can't vibe with that, you can't enjoy it.

Overally I think this novel just shot up in my ranking bcs in terms of enjoyment it rivals Return of The Mount Hua. <<less

I finally decide to drop this. Overall it is a funny novel so I do recommend this for people who usually don't take things too seriously

Pros:

- Bad guys are not dumb, some of them even turn good after being beaten to puff. This is somewhat side characters grow so they are not that 1 dimensional.

... more>> - The writting is smooth and pretty funny so even if the story is somewhat repeative you won't care about it that much.

- No harem

Cons:

- Story is somewhat repeative

- MC is a teacher pet and will do anything to please teachers even when he doesn't like it at all. He is very obsessed with score and evaluations. The whole novel revolves around that characteristic so it become so frustrating to read MC keep burdening himself with things he does not like. He dislike them so much but never speak his mind and people just think that he like those things so much so they keep pushing more. I really don't like that kind of people. I wish he can pick and choose, discard some of that burdens. For example, the beaver professor is pretty much incompetent in teaching, MC is a smart guy he could just ditch the class and learn by himself. I know it is the novel gimmick but goddamn I don't want to read that sh*t for hundred more chapters. <<less

So this is just my opinion, everyone is different and may not find what I say all that relatable. Also it's still worth reading, if you read the first 100 chapters you'll find out if my gripes below resignate with you. It is well written and translated.

The first 100ish chapters were really good. But as others have said, it starts to repeat the same formula over and over, just with different teachers. It's not so bad, but it's definitely noticible.

My biggest gripe though is that it starts to lean... more>> on the MC misunderstanding everything:

* his relationship with his horse monster is infuriating. Same with the leopard monster.

* his belief that he's not great at magic, Eventhough hes doing things that full fledged professors find crazy. The professors are afraid of him losing control of his fire magic cause it's so strong, but he thinks he's bad at it for a bunch of dumb reasons.

*his complete s*upidity when it comes to interacting with his contracted spirit. He learns super powerful lightning magic, and only complains that the spirit is kinda weak.

I can't stand the trope that the MC is clueless and constantly misunderstanding things. It only gets worse and worse as the book continues. <<less

I really like this, but I think it's definitely a hit or miss based on your preferences. The start's a bit rough, but it soon gets quite interesting (the more professors there are, the more interesting it is). Note that the story relies heavily on misunderstandings. If you don't like that type of novel, you might get annoyed. Also, the summary is kinda misleading? It sounds like he wants to be a slacker, but bro is 100% a workaholic in denial.

I think the MC's personality is pretty interesting even if... more>> it's not the most exciting. Let me try to describe him. He has almost endless patience (it's really funny when he actually gets angry enough to express it), is nice but also quite ruthless to people he doesn't like or care about, very competent, is a workaholic, very money-minded, very practical, good at communicating, a genius, hard working, very strong for his age, and acts as a nanny for his inept classmates sometimes.

The story feels like slice-of-life (since it's about the MC's school life), but it has fun action moments and is way more drama/action-packed. You would think a story about simply attending school (even if it's magic school) might be boring, but the teachers are insane. Like, I'm surprised no student has died so far even though the professors try to keep the students alive. Most of the conflict in the story comes from the MC trying to survive his madlad teachers while kissing up to them for good grades. It's a impressive balancing act. Also, the teachers are the highlights of the novel. Like, the classmates/friends are memorable enough, but the teachers with their zany personalities make the novel interesting. You can't wait to see how the Principal and other teachers will attempt to torture/teach the students. Also, I genuinely feel touched whenever I see a sane teacher (they're such a rarity) that tries to take care of the students' sanity.

The magic system is also well-designed imo. The MC is quite OP, but he's worked hard for it since his one cheat has drawbacks at times. He's also not insanely OP since he still takes losses against super strong enemies (*cough the Principal), but he's well above his peers in strength. The way he uses magic is also fun to read about.

No romance so far since the MC feels like a nanny amongst most of his peers. Also, if you think the classmates are dumb, please remember that these are teens. Some teens do really dumb stuff, while others are more level-headed.

The story's pacing is pretty slow, but I read ~430 chapters in one go without being bored at all. I'm sad I ran out of chapters. That said, the MC is still a first year :v after 430 chapters, and there are... 4-5? years? So this novel might take a while. It's genuinely worth it though if you like it after reading ~50 chapters (the start takes time to get going). I can't wait until we meet more of the MC's family :v but I feel like that'll take another 500 chapters... Either way, I'd be happy to read 2k chapters of this. <<less

A pretty good novel to read when bored, although some arcs are boring (example vacation arc or moradi family arc) but most of them are not bad. The thing that make this novel good for me is because of the crazy principal (Gonadaltes) with Lee Han (MC) and professor bloody/Voladi with Lee Han (MC), the crazy master and disciple combination are good. The school is full of crazy bastards as well, and the existance of MC is there as their messiah (omitted).

Some spoiler:

Wodanaz family

... more>>
Spoiler

Start from ch 633 for the Wodanaz family.

Having a golem (usual) and demon as their servants, the head of the household (LH's father) is outside the dimension exploring along with the 1st brother helping, Lee Han sending an extremely short letter for his arrival (4 words only/extremely normal) and throw it to the exploration hall (something like an otherworld gate).

the mother is the director of an ancient library and have an extremely menacing demon form, she even call the professors at Einrogard as mundane wizards. She usually erase others memories about her when they met with one finger. The parents (her mother) predicted the future that Lee Han will be the principal later on, in which Lee Han deny it everytime someone say he's the principal heir

The second brother (Arsil), he's loved by the spirits and kinda look like a spirit. He also talk in spirit language and only the family understand it because of their blood relation. He's not a wizard because he's not interested and don't have talent in magic. He like to give Lee Han some of his artifacts which is extremely dangerous to the user but gave the safe one to MC's friends. +Some ancient ruins appearing at their house like it's normal

(Ch 633) Lee Han joked about his ability/talent of making the spirits run away from him, Arsil (the 2nd brother) laughed out loud and knocked on the table.

[collapse]

The principal/Osu Gonadaltes

Spoiler

The principal is a human previously (a prince) who turns into a lich who cut off his desires and emotions. His human form is described as filthy handsome by MC. His crazy alter ego (parts of the principal cut off desires) will later appear at ch 732

[collapse]

MC entering 2nd start at ch 696 and will start meeting the seniors directly. Following from the manhwa (in case someone want to continue reading), ch 52 (manhwa) is ch 48 (novel) <<less

Edit: I believe that the translators for this are using AI like chaptgpt to translate. There are chapters where pronouns for the teachers are mixed up that it can be confusing if they were a boy or girl. I checked their other novels like "My Beautiful Teacher and its synopsis in novelupdates and in the site scream AI.

It is an enjoyable novel, not perfect, if you keep trying to find anything wrong with it you can poke holes, but it is fun and you don't have to turn off... more>> your brain to enjoy it, unless turning on your brain means nitpicking every single detail of the novel and point out anything you think is unrealistic. Even the guy, satoshi 1, that says it is boring after 100 chapters read it for 400 chapters.

Idk if the person, kroksha, that rated this 1 are projecting to everyone else about self-insertion. Kroksha rated another novel, Genius Warlock, with an apathetic MC that starts to have emotions and says it is not character development but ruining the character (he likes apathetic mcs) meanwhile calling the MC of Surviving as a mage in the academy as characterless. Take his review with a grain of salt.

Dante 7555 seems to forget that most of the students were pampered 15 year olds. He can make good points about the mc's capabilities of the early part but seems to treat the students like adults. He has some good points like learning swordsmanship but calling the MC normal is not accurate, only the MC likes to call himself normal but as the story progresses you see how abnormal he is. His review is not as bad as Kroksha but it is too harsh and it seems like his review is influenced by his frustrations from other recent novels he read with him saying "I also just noticed that it has over 990 chapters and is still ongoing. Call me crazy but a dumb low quality story with no focus and no substance having almost a thousand chapter and counting just fits a certain kind of genre of novels." Honestly similar to my reviews on crazy MCs so try not to take this review to heart (if you see my review on Villain Hides His True Colors take it with a grain of salt as well). <<less

This book is hilarious. One of my favorite book I've read on here, and that's saying A LOT.

The MC is OP but it's very well done. He's also not blatantly s*upid like a lot of MC's. The opposite actually. He's witty, cunning, and not afraid to throw whoever is closest to him at the time under the bus at a moments notice. Completely merciless in the best way.

the MC is characterless, yes yes insert yourself but I could never be so boring.

so much of the so called logic of the classes spits in the face of common sense

and magic such as the most important part of alchemy being gathering materials

not the ability to not waste them... lol peasants can gather materials it doesn't make

them great alchemists, sure you need to get the best stuff yourself but not the

main part. it's like saying a warrior is one who can gather the ore.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. The World building is there. The characters have personalities and this isnt much edgy or dramatic like how most korean LNs operate. Actually its a very good comedy, refreshing and entertaining. I like how the MC's mind works and his common sense differ from the common in his current world as he is a transmigrated fellow, and even if he did spend several years already in the current world, he hasnt much interaction and information because of the convenient background plot of his. Its enjoyable and students... more>> or newly graduates could really relate to some funny events as to how his MC relate his school life to what he had experience in his past.

what just puzzle me greatly is the review of the guy below, where he already read upto 519 chaps. Bro please send link, even an mtl would do. <<less

I'm obsessed with this novel and it's characters, the misunderstandings and situations the MC gets into are hilarious to read. The character interactions are definitely my favorite part of the series.

This is definitely a long read, by the 1000th chapter this guy is still in his second year lmao. Definitely recommend to read this slowly, some details from previous chapters get brought up in future chapters a lot and I always forgot about those (some of the details can be brought 100 chaps later). Very slice of life coded but... more>> it always have something going that keeps it interesting.

This novel does feel like a standard op MC gets harem of girls kind of series in the beginning (especially if you read the manhwa) but there is absolutely ZERO romance, there are a lot of female characters but none have romantic interest towards MC (thank god). The amount of times I've been duped thinking a character was male when in fact they were female were too much :') <<less

Okay this isn't actually a five-star novel but I think it deserves at least a 4.1 so far. The MC is funny and likeable if a little too competent. A good laugh

Very enjoyable to read. The kind that is slow but fun to read every day in your free time. Some say it's boring but I don't know, maybe my sense of humor is strange, but I always laugh in every chapter.

I'm a bit curious about the Wardanaz family and their interactions with Yi Han. Some spoilers say they will appear in... 600 chapters or more. So I think I'm still so far from there.

And hey, how dare you say Yi Han is lazy? Lazy? Are you serious? How could any... more>> lazy student worry about entering the new semester late and leaving classes for 2 weeks instead of worrying about his safety in
Spoiler

the king of ghoul's ruins?

He even casually studied there. How can a student be lazy if he always studies in his spare time? Which lazy student would show up when the professor asked for extra lessons, and even learn new magic (even during the semester break) ?

I don't believe that. Yi Han is a study maniac, the perfect student that all teachers always hope for. If you think he's lazy because he looks OP, you're wrong. He even had to try harder because the excess mana he had would make his magic explode.

In the end, this is indeed a relaxing and slow novel, if I must say, a slice of life. So if you're looking for thrilling action, it's not for you.

Spoiler

Guys, Yi Han finally had a 'friend' - although he was a professor, not an actual friend. Yi Han finally found someone who was just like him, or actually he was the one who was found. "Originally, the same kind of people recognize each other." Heh heh

Lmao chapter 407 is one of the funniest parts for me. The urge to spread this funny chapter made me couldn't resist editing nu review.

This is a really pure 'academy' type novel. Life at the academy isn't just one arch in the story, a means to an ends, or overshadowed by more significant events, but makes up the entire story.

This mainly works because:

  • The academy is a whole world unto itself. Not literally, but pretty darn close. With mountains, forests, deserts, and mysterious magic towers to explore, the story isn't limited by being within the academy. The wild rules of the academy also help it feel like a world worth exploring.
  • The MC isn't OP (yet). Yi-han has indescribable talent, but reincarnating doesn't mean he knows how to use it. His past life just helps him learn how to grow his talent even faster. While he quickly out paces his peers, teachers and higher-level magic are still able to provide challenges that we can't just effortlessly overcome.
  • The characters. Just really well done. Everyone has their own quirk, so freind groups form pretty naturally and teacher/student dynamics don't feel over used.
  • It's funny. I haven't laughed out loud because of a novel in a while. Although some jokes have started to stale, enough new bits are added in that the old ones can change as some characters grow.
Some downsides include:

  • The pacing... The first 300 chapters equates to one semester. I'm sure the second semester will be faster, but the MC is so busy that it naturally slows.

    -> This is only timeline wise, as character growth/story progression don't feel as slow.
  • Some seemingly forgotten items/skills. Spoilers below~
  • There is truly no plot outside of academy life. I wish there was some contact with (or even a desire to contact) his family. We know as much/more about the families of... pretty much everyone else? Just hoping it's a plot point later on.
... more>>
Spoiler

Mostly just thinking about that ring of underwater breathing he got from the Presinga order and has yet to use. Also, the continual joke that Ferkuntra is a useless spirit, since everytime he gets summoned (which is almost never!) the situation resolves itself.

It is absolutely hilarious, no matter how many time I read this novel I always find myself laughing so hard, the humour in the story is gold. MC is powerful but not in an annoying way, the characters are interesting as well. Ngl it's rare that I find an academy fantasy novel this comfortable to read nowadays.
