Why is it an 8.4 when it totally deserves a 9 or better

@Raoul Nahimana – I am reading the novel as posted on this web site – what are you reading? It sure isn’t the novel or my post at any level of legitimate analysis or criticism. Also, I take offense at you criticizing me for “wrong reviews” – that is baseless and I challenge you to point out anything inaccurate in my post. Rather, your post reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the points I made and what “tropes” are.

First, I hope I don’t have to get into the origins of the “hide my power” trope, which is based on cultural development in view of geographic volatility, survival, and other issues on the Japanese islands, how this is antithetical to western individualism and exceptionalism, etc. But putting that aside. let’s start with the fact that he is literally in a group assignment with multiple people where several people know he is Damian, and the others know him as Candy (with the mask). And you don’t think that any of them at any point would put their heads together and figure out the whole mask BS and how it is Damian wearing the mask (i.e., Damian = Candy)? It is beyond grotesquely stupid.

Taking a step back, he is in an academy. He gets evaluations and grades. Do you really think it makes any sense that he can just get by as “masked guy” WHEN HE DOES CLASS ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MASK and that somehow nobody can figure out who he is? Sorry, when they post grades, they don’t use aliases. Again, it doesn’t strain credulity, it destroys it.

So now, putting aside the plot stupidity / incredulity your post patently ignores, let’s look at the substance of your post. You point out the “reason” i.e. supposedly if he showed off his power his village will be in trouble. Starting with the concept of the trope itself, the author did not have to write the story in such a way that somehow his doing well in school is an existential threat to everything he cared about. In short, stories that focus on MCs having to hide their powers for contrived reasons are generally something promoted in Japanese light novels, but are antithetical to Western readers who are more focused on individual exceptionalism (and moreover, are usually are not prominent in Korean web novels, which is is why I prefer them over Japanese web novels and made the comment in my review). In short, you completely fail to understand THAT IS THE TROPE AND THE TROPE SUCKS. Moreover, it is not even realistic. Remember the silver haired woman he dreamt about? Don’t you remember that she and her army of wizards attacked Silverine and the MC on the way to the academy? THE BAD GUYS ALREADY KNOW WHO DAMIAN IS AND ARE ALREADY TRYING TO KILL HIM!! Him being in the mask or not during academy assignments makes no friggin’ difference.

Second, go back and re-read chapter 81. He asks Ella to withhold the information from Silverine because he does not want to “worry master.” Moreover, he does this despite Ella clearly and rationally pointing out “When it comes to warlocks, SIlverine needs to know” and that Silverine will eventually find out anyway. In short, this is a threat that affects the whole friggin’ world, and he wants to withhold it from one of the people who most needs to know, so whatever BS reason he may have had, its beyond asinine.

So please don’t cast aspersion with poorly reasoned comments.

Misib says:

@Mista Thank mista it hurts reading like that, but i know it is a good novel, plus i know she love him too, the problem the novel isnt helping going that slow , sniff.

he got over her, he loves teacher, but like every novel like this prota always end up simping for women.

even if i am complaining like that this novel is actually very very good much above average. ^.^

enjoy…

Extra says:

Great novel, kinda slower paced story despite many things going on (there’s quite a lot of chapters before the MC enters the academy) so I think the story is going to be long one.

Really looking forward to reading more.
