I'm gonna be the first to say that I am an avid Toika hater. I love his good actions scenes but the power scaling of his novels is typically awful for the sake of making the protagonist look good. Most of all however, I absolutely despise the interactions the main character has with other people. It feels like someone got locked in a closet with nothing but anime for social interaction and was like "Damn, this is exactly how people talk!". Unfortunately, like a rat to poisoned cheese, I keep... more>> reading all his novels expecting something different. Definition of insanity, anyone? Anyways, with all the Toika hate out of me, the novel so far is actually pretty good.

To be fair, I've only read the first 30 chapters so far but I feel like he's certainly learned from his previous novels. The interactions don't feel exaggerated too much. The protagonist is actually pretty witty and comes up with the occasional scheme that doesn't feel like it was just made up on the spot by the author. I will say, there are so many cliché's in this that Toika loves to do such as:

Spoiler

Oh gee oh golly, it's so odd how Light, the second male character in the novel, behaves weirdly feminine sometimes and gets shy when the main character takes off his shirt. It's almost like he isn't actually a 'he' and is in fact a 'she'. And oh, isn't it odd how all of his inventions that are sentient have female names? I wonder if they'll have a human female form later down the line...

[collapse]

I'm honestly just so happy that Toika has improved on his interactions. It feels like he's actually gone outside and talked to people to write this novel. That might change later on, and I'll update this review if it does. Until then, I'm enjoying it.

I was stuck between a 3.5 and a 4 star for this novel but I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt and give it a 4. Hopefully, I won't be smashed down on the floor like I've been with all of his previous novels. <<less

The premise of this novel is extremely unique and intriguing. An Academy across dimensions, where only the most qualified can attend. Earth being the lowest dimension haven't even heard of the Academy nor magic. The academy revolves around the goal of clearing a tower. The tower which is said you would become a god after clearing. That tower? It is the mc's ancestry heritage.

Even the power of the MC is very unique. He has ability to understand all languages. Extract the core concepts from everything, and convert it to anything.... more>> He can even combine and dilute the concepts. These concepts are like skills or the essence of things.

The novel was great at the start. Interesting from C10, and then from C20 it already fell off... To finish the novel, ud need to be a person in a phase looking for these specific cores: MC way too OP, convenient cardboard harem, and JPN isekai styled writing. Although it's not an isekai novel, the writing and story devolve into the beta jpn isekai style. Lack of main reaching plot, though present very weak as it is literally to get stronger... thats it... Paper antagonists. They might as well not exist and are often very forced into the plot. And lastly everything is just oh so extremely conveniently there and easy going for the MC... plot armor.

The biggest problem as u could guess was the overpowerdness of the MC. Though it's in a phase of weak to strong, not to mention the countless amount of plot holes such as not using his endless money to just pay2win, he's already the most op in his grade pretty much.

And again, the plot armor are too numerous... and those that are smarter would see countless plot holes and ways things could've been better.

Over the course of 20 chaps the chaps literally decline in quality every 10ish. The side characters all lack depth. And his core class side chars, those from the lower dimensions, all have isekai type character problems ud commonly spot in jpn novels. Essentially, they're flat and/or cliched/cringe.

Not the best in depth reviewer but grand thing I'm saying is unless u r looking for these niches all you'll get is regret reading this for what it could've been.

Honestly to me Toika the author has some of the best premise story starters, but he is like a Chinese writer where it's amazing at start to hook, fluff, then sht cause they moved on as his stories always bring ruins to themselves. The saving grace is there isn't filler for dozens of chaps on end, though this novel of his has the most filler out of other 2 I distinctly remember. <<less

Well what can I say, it's a Toy Car novel. Harem of beautiful girls, comedy, and absurd amounts of power scaling and plot armor. While it's something I personally enjoy it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I suggest giving it a go.

I love Toika novels in general, but this one stands out as being an advancement in his writing. It's only about 1/10th translated at this point so things could change, but I have high hopes. I'm super glad to see this novel get picked up again after about two years of limbo.

Basically, the thing that makes this one different from Toika's other works (so far at least) is that it's not primarily a one-man show. Yes, it's Toika so the MC will be the most OP one and the primary... more>> driver of the action... but in this novel, we have a clear set of 4 main characters who will be acting as a team for a very large portion of the story. The MC's family members are also given pretty strong characterization during their brief appearances at the beginning, so it really feels like Toika is putting more effort into the overall cast of characters this time around. <<less

So first thing's first, while this review is more of a rant, I am really enjoy it which is why I rated it 5. I'm also barely 10% through the novel so a lot of this will change over time.

Looking at it more objectively, I don't think it actually deserves to be as high as a 5 in its current state. This'll be spoilery up to the intro and my impression up to c42. I love the concept of the main character's power but pretty much everything lacks a sense of grounding and detail. Major characters feel more like walking stereotypes that exist for the MC than actual people because so far their backgrounds were literally just stated rather than actually expanded on and his companions all have yet to really be defined. They might as well just be items like his main weapon given how little detail is put into their characters. The courses and what they're learning is very perfunctory to the point that it feels like they'd be better off abandoning the concept of it being an academy at all and they'd reasonably have the same level of knowledge. The classmates fall for him far, far too easily. Like so far he has two girls who like him for basically just existing and the other is pretty much at that level as well, not even mentioning his female pet item and how his teacher (who is like 500 years old and loved by everyone in the school to the point the MC gets bullying attempts out of jealousy for being close to her) acts far too close to him. They also randomly throw in that the MC decides to become what is essentially a youtube star for some reason. This is another example of an entirely unnecessary concept that has no actual substantial bearing on the plot while the important stuff is just assumed. I'm probably being a little harsh on that Youtuber concept there since it solved a problem they had. But it just irked me in light of the other issues.

Even in regard to his power, while the idea of his power is cool every single chapter has him progressing way too much and making the gains out as far more than they are which just makes it feel cheap. It's just far too convenient. We don't even have a scale to compare his gains to because of the lack of detail and grounding. There are apparently many dimensions, with some being high and some being low but not a single thing about them is explained. We don't know what kind of populations they have, what kind of talents/abilities they have and so on. His ability and him being an ultra mary sue genius even outside of his ability make an odd pair where it really feels like the author should've just gone with one of those concepts. It's just frustrating since it feels like this story is just a little bit away from being something great in so many small ways.

Overall I'd say it's quite disappointing compared to his other works, though a lot of that disappointment comes from the bland implementation of a great concept I was looking forward to. If you like Toika's other works you'll probably be fine enjoying this enough to read it.

So far so good.

Great world building and tracking the MCs growth is enjoyable.

As of chapter 40, villains and over arching threat hasn't been established yet.

Also, MC growth power is pretty broken. Combination of the powers from level 1 hero and and gluttony type powers without having to eat people.

As of now. Worth a read.

What's really funny is these issues are literally refenced in the work itself. The whole premise was that his party members were all supposed to be way stronger, but the way things are, it's the reverse.

Overall: MC is way too OP, too much harem (really ridiculous). If I read harem, it really needs to have value in the companions and only 1 person seems to be bringing that value. This feels more like a harem novel than a tower novel. The logic inconsistencies also just make it hard to follow so dropping. <<less
