The Final Fool
It’s very frustrating to read this novel. I never knew academies were supposed to hide and bury talents. You’d think they’ll hold on tightly to a rare SS grade talent, instead of hiding and neglecting it. No wonder they’re on the decline. The everyone-is-underestimating-me trope is so forced in this novel.
Warning! Don't waste your time with this story. I've already read the complete Chinese version on webnovels. The author abandons the story and rushes it to a dismal end at chapter 714. It started out good but the author runs out of steam around chapter 500 and after that it becomes an inter-academy competition for about 170 chapters. The author then wraps it up by creating a cheat that makes all the other sub plots irrelevant and nullifies the whole story. It ends in the most unsatisfactory way possible. The author gave up completely. The same author tried to restart the story using the same idea but quickly abandon it after 16 chapters.
I’ll say its trash sure it has good potential however that’s all it has, the mc is actually dumb he can’t figure out shit any normal Child could, and the academie is Even dumer, never knew they always hid ss-class talent for no reason in fact even if they did have one they could have given him a bodyguard and special meteral, cus it seams like the school is filled with crasy ass murders, and i hate the fact that the mc treats it like a game. Also the translation sucks ass, he uses words that don’t fit, or words that he obviously doesn’t know the meaning of, also c’mon on dude you can’t even get the stats right?
Seriously where is the story? Started very good then 35 chapters where nothing happens except for deception. Don't expect the story to start in the first 40 chapters. Had a huge potential, nice with the improving potentiel with skills update, but what's the point for him to have such a huge golden fighter if it's useless...
It’s a very trashy novel, everyone including mc is a fucking toddler that failed to get beyond grade 2 if you don’t get what i mean read the novel or if you have read it or are reading it please reread the first few chapters and i want you to remember that those guys are 20 and above, then suddenly the novel turns into shit, and the one of many stupid things that happen is that in the 11-12 chapters where the mc is a class monitor and that dumb bitch doesn’t even know what the benefits are for being one even when people change there attitude when he tells them that he is a class monitor, or you know when he can see their fucking age and stats
Everyone is stupid is this novel. I mean basic logic is considered like stroke of genius, the MC is only a tiny bit smarter than the average of that world, which mind you still put him below the average reader. Nothing happens organically, conflit, etc manifest because the author said so. The characters act like 5 years old to generate event. It's readable but you will have to dig deep and let your brain at the door to find some nuggets of fun.
A rotten apple can spoil the barrel. This novel is a mixture of good and bad. I like the ideas, the setting, the possibilities. Unfortunately, none of that matters because the bad parts are remminded to readers on every page. What are the bad parts? Well, the most glaring of all, the age of the characters. The freshmen are supposed to be around 23, and everyone else is older, some even over a hundred years. As someone who is in their mid-20s, has college under their belt, and job, if I met one of these "20-something" characters, I would ask for their IDs, because they act and think like teenagers who are not old enough to drink yet. The ***** world is a balance of polite patience and respect for society. From the way the characters behave, none of them seem to have ever worked or studied. Like little children, they jump at the idea that they are superior to others if they have a talent or a high points... they brag about it and shun those who are lower from the start (first day when they know nothing and second day when they know 5% more). They cat called a lecturer... wtf? That is like catcalling your boss, the person in whose hands is a button: make your life hell. Piss off a professor, you might as well leave the university for passing their subject would be close to zero. They can feel and think all these things, but only an imbecile would show it outwardly. Some of them are "smart" yet act like children. If they were kids 14 years old it would fine to read, but knowing they are my age and... act like having never left their mother's side - embarrassing. This novel would be easier to read for those who are teenagers themselves because they wouldn't notice the discrepancy in character mental age. Overall, I'll purely keep reading because I like fantasy schools, but neither the characters nor the "cleverness" of the story captivates me, so I'll drop it once I get my magic school fix.

I can't take it seriously in the slightest. Characters portrayed as 'smart' are simply at the peak of the stupidity spectrum. By that, I mean as adults the smartest of characters might be able to pass the fifth grade. Characters, including the main character, are extremely dumb. First 15 chapters is the admissions test. Spoiler, MC gets an S rating along with the so called world record genius girl. (She is able to calculate elementary school math and has common sense). Everyone knows about his S rating. Yet, instead of finding it weird that he was able to get the S rating, meaning he CONTRIBUTED, the instructor still looks at him win disdain. Not an ounce of curiosity how he got the rating. Chalked it up to the girl who can do elementary math being a genius. Basically, whole trial read so far to me feels like a few toddlers interacting and a few infants acting arrogant.
