far too civil! throw some slurs at each other you nerds. also all my homies and me hate paywalls.

as for the novel, um, it’s… okay i guess… Looking at the popularity and reception i went into it with some expectations, but there’s really nothing special at all, considering? for one, the mtl’s fairly rough. on top of that, it reads very slow; there’s a lot of chaff in and between sentences. maybe that’s partially the mtl, but definitely not all of it. and it’s not exactly that the pacing’s slow, no, a lot of things are being said and done – but not a lot actually happening. there’s little to no plot progression, romantic or character development except for very specific, limited cases. some who’ve read might question this here, but if you take a few seconds to really consider it, you’ll see it’s not at all without basis.

another very important point: mc’s denseness. okay, dense mc, whatever. it’s tiresome enough at this point to almost not even be worth mentioning. just bite the bullet and either focus on development from the fmcs’ side, enjoy fun chracter interactions, or follow the actual plot (gasp).
oh wait there’s none of that
to top it all off, mc’s denseness is being used by the novel, as harem-bait. nearly 200 longass chapters in, from what i can tell there’s practically zero romance, never mind harem. even the faux-harems of the world will at least have something, if only as gags or setups. here it’s all: has crisis, saves girl, they fall in love, and… nothing. some simply refuse to confess because… reasons??? others will be like “what is this strange frustration i feel seeing mc-kun get married in front of me, oh, and also i want F^&% him… if only i could put a name to this alien feeling??” – i mean what kind of shoujo manga NTR bs is this. not that it matters, because some will actually come forward and straight up propose marriage and mc just… has no reaction – not even in a lolololdense-misunderstanding way; no he’ll literally ignore it with no elaboration.

…probably because mc isnt even written to be a real character, but i dont wanna dig into that rn honestly. will say though, it’s really annoying how we usually only get to see mc’s most useless and stupid thoughts which doesnt help with that.

originally this was going to be a much more exhaustive objective critique, but i decided to cut all of it, and leave only the somewhat more subjective and shortened version of the denseness rant; it would have been too nitpicky otherwise and i dont really wanna do that. Not without sufficient instigation, that is.

the thing is, i was reading this novel, the whole time thinking that it’s good and that i was enjoying it – but every chapter was a slog – and 120 in, i suddenly realised that it isn’t and i wasn’t. and the more i looked back on it, the more problems i found that i had with it. i even jumped ahead to latest chapter and didnt feel i missed anything at all. and of course, there was a fkn kiss jebait and of course mc has no fkn reaction to it bcs why would he right?? omfg im almst triggered againbut whjatever. ultimately, im left rather confused as to what collection of criteria made this academy ‘harem’ novel be considered ‘good’, and all the others – some with far more interesting premises – ‘trash’. i jus dun get it :/

tl;dr uhhhhh apprntly ppl seem to like it so maybe u will too, but as for me even if i didnt quite hate it i thot it was kinda lame n dropped at ~120 cz its annoying to read a story tht goes nwhere spinning on the spot

For everyone on this debate of piracy or what not here.

[Some text got deleted]

for projects like NobleMTL even if they are not charging money for the MTL they do earn some from cash, maybe enough to run the site. Money lost here for the Original author is minimal as to create a competing product they will have to hire translators and editors for specific languages. Cost to do that may not be enough to change their model, for now. So for the MTL versions they have greater tolerance. Way more than translations.

Overall, enjoy MTL. If you care so much about morality or what not remember that not every company is like Nintendo and release lawyers like wild dogs on every piracy site. Piracy is unspokenly accepted to a large degree in our society. Why it is so? Don’t care, and you should not care too.

Now that you mention it, FAKKU has caused many doujins I like to be removed. Fu*k FAKKU.

Insufferable says:

I see. So you are part of the industry. Then that means anything I say as an outsider means virtually nothing then. I have very little knowledge of what machinations go on this industry. And I also have very little opinion on issues on anything in the first place. Thank you for clarifying though, and I also kinda see where you’re coming from in your perspective. What with the service providers exploiting their monopoly and what not.

I strive to live with transparency over anything that may cross my life, especially towards issues that do not affect my self, resulting in a lack of empathy towards said issue. So I apologise for hastily marginalizing you. And I also did not say anything with any judgemental intentions but with pure speculative and objective approach.

Dagonsuznyx says:

“Passion projects” include mtls my guy. There is no contradiction as MTL is free and is not done for profit. However, your lack of reading comprehension is highly concerning. It is because of people like you that are bending over backwards for any service provider that even simple services such as Netflix and Hulu are expensive as they are now.

Insufferable, I translate lesser known English comics to French, for no profit as it is unethical and illegal. I do this free as it is illegal and unethical to exert money for unlicensed work. If you want money, then go and do a normal job. Passion projects are not supposed to make you rich anyway.

The MC possesses an extra in a game he was a veteran in, but someone also possessed the protagonist of that game. They work together to make sure they reach the ending and defeat the Demon King, but the person who possessed the protagonist of the game turns out to be a violent homosexual/male yandere. So right before they go to defeat the Demon King, the protagonist decides to imprison the MC and kills all other characters and goes to defeat the Demon King himself, but he dies. The timeline then resets with the MC having knowledge of the violent homosexual and kills him as soon as he regresses (MC is not into BL thankfully), so now he has to save the world by himself.

There is character growth throughout the story. MC made plans then backup plans, but still during the implementation phase something gets twisted somehow due to other real life factors, and he has to improvise in real time, so he struggles a lot in fights. The action sequences is definitely top notch and the flow of the plot is excellent. The side cast aren’t just for show, and actually have major impact on the plot.

Atleast 93 chapters have already been translated for free on another site so try reading that first.

Oh wow, never thought I’ll see this novel ever on this site
