I Broke Off My Engagement and Got a Job at the Academy

Rader says:

7/10. Average novel it’s not like IGN 7 but painful 7 where Novel could have been better but Author failed to use the plots and characters.

Following are worst things about it:

1. Flashback in beginning. It was not required, Author trying to show lovely moments between Regret fiance and the MC but it only shows how bad the relationship was. When Fiance girl was in bad situation, where her whole family could be destroyed, MC helped her emotionally and physically by getting Church to back her in his name. In contrast when MC got in bad situation, so bad that even his Father did a suicide, instead of telling MC a simple line that it will be better, she came to remove the Engagement.

I don’t care about Regret of that Btch now, I want the Puppet Girl and her master to suffer. She is so brain dead that she is in alliance with very person who destroyed MC family. MC being a simp claim that she does not know, but she is a freaking Duchess, why the heck she does not know something that everyone in power knows including other Ducal family, heck even Church knew about this but she does not and MC subconsciously creates excuses for her.

2. Now come to second point. MC is a Simp Lord. He has no bad feelings or suspicious to a woman who wanted to seperate MC and Fiance and whose father gave the Royal Family Treasure to MC father which led to Royal Family calling them for Rebellion and eventual destruction of his family. He has no bad feelings for a girl, who he spent loving for 8 years, betraying him when he actually helped her when she was in exact same situation.

It’s so bad that he has Nightmare of Puppet Girl crying in Regret. Not only that there was a monster which creates illusion of loved one voice, he imagined her voice instead of voice of his dead father. Not only that MC family would have been okay if MC allowed his father to act like a Duke and absorb the Puppet Girl family as her father died. Royal family wanted to reduce the power of Dukes and their first aim was at her family but MC did his best to save her only to become the next target.

His Simping is over the chart. And this is a problem in Revenge and Regret novel. He is such a simp that he even gave the Private lectures to the Daughter of very man who destroyed his family infront of him. It’s like helping the child born out of NTR of a wife where husband is claiming that child did nothing wrong. Nah, child is abomination, I don’t care about the child and daughter, if you are seeking Revenge think about hurting her bad. Or atleast ignore her, please don’t teach her your most important secrets in name of teaching. Yes she will be regretting actions of her father in future, but this MC is such a simp that he will forgive his life long enemy due to his disciple or something.

3. World building is lackluster. We don’t know which type of territory MC had. Flashback only included lovey dovey moments but told us nothing about family and mansion he lost. Why should I care about his lost family, lost house, and loss wealth when I don’t even know what they are. We don’t know power structure properly, we don’t know about other countries in the world. We don’t know about most of the basic things in the novel. Author just want us to concentrate on the Handsome Simp MC and heroines who want to use him as a toy.

One woman wants to eat him, make him dependent on her, and may have even helped downfall of MC.

Other woman stayed 8 years with him and didn’t have even 10% of love MC had for her and betrayed him moment opportunity came in name of Elders forcing her to do so.

Third woman is his teacher who has quite a lot ulterior intentions for him since he was in academy as a student. And there will be many like this.

It’s not that novel does not have good points. MC is OP. Magic is explained properly. There are Hero and Demon king story, MC can even become a damn Hero. There are possibility of juicy regret moments. But all of them have been destroyed by Simp Lord MC.

MC became OP because he wanted to do Magic for Girls, even now he is working hard because he want to do so for his teacher. He is not a true mage seeking some truth or searching for higher level or something, his every action is due to some Woman pushing him directly or indirectly to do so. MC fiance is a Puppet of Elders, then MC is a puppet of all the girls around him. They say laugh, he laugh, they say cry, he cries.

Also there is no possibility of Regret moments because this Simp MC will dislike the Girls crying in Regret more than they even regret. Heck he will regret his actions more they feel regret. He is this pathetic. Maybe I am wrong in feeling giddy to read about braid dead heroines crying over regret when MC improved himself and ignored their regret like a Sigma man and moved on to do his thing.

Anyways, beware of people giving it 8 or more ratings and calling it good. They like Simp MCs and if you like one this will be good novel for you, but if you don’t like Simps this will be a position for you.

I was reading this novel because people were giving it good reviews but personally, I’m finding it annoying and unrealistic. MC was deprived of everything by (among others) a woman he helped, and he don’t resent her later.

His father died because of a man whose daughter MC not only rescued later but even made stronger. Really? The guy is ranting about taking revenge on his enemy and later is rising his daughter. Creating a potential danger to his life? Where is logic in this?

Rader says:

5 chapters in. Will continue but damn I wanted to see a Chad MC working as new professor of Magic and punishing some pussies but we get a damn flashback showing some snapshots of love between some White haired B*tch whose name I forgot and MC.

I don’t care, most readers will not care. Author fcking started with a breakup, then why the heck he is showing flashback at Chapter 1. Man show it after some time, what’s the use of knowing it all. Just start the story and move to Academy thing, when her arc comes and she regrets, show the flashback, not like this. It feels bad and dumb. It feels like start of a regret novel but then showing slice of life love story between Heroine who gave up on 8 years engagement as if we would care about her as we know she would regret it later anyways.
