Can't say the specifics... Real life things has been a messy thing for a while now, but I will keep updating this one as much as possible...

Your profile pic speaks nothing but the irony of the famous meme about the same guy. Get a life and move on.

I'm sorry but you are the clown here. If you are reading the chapters properly, it is his mask that control his emotions to an extent that he doesn't act like an idiot. And no, I'm not trying to be funny. I'm displaying the MC's true self when he isn't wearing the mask and see how it differs from the standpoint of him when he is acting as the academy master. Also, everyone can shift if and only if they understand the mysteries of magic itself. That's why she said only archmages. Bro, they are called ARCHMAGES for a reason, the pinnacle of magic cultivation as introduced ON THIS WORLD. If they can't do jackass shit like that, they wouldn't become archmages. Moreover, I haven't even discussed in depth on the various details like the power system, political system, and other information at this early of a chapter or else you would then complain that I'm info dumping which is also boring. I can be as in depth as you like but I'm afraid you are not at the level to comprehend the complexity of my magic system, or even the background story of the MC himself.

Over the past two months... Shouting is just his way to visualize the spell and in some other way, add a sort of dramatic feeling, a tradition that became a norm in the magic system.

The power isn’t the point of their surprise but the fact that he is casting spells without conjuring magic circles nor rarely incantate them. That is the main reason they are awed.

Shadow is just how he ’terms’ his attacks. It’s basically dark element, though ‘specialized’ or styled in a way based on the beast.

Depends on their magic root but generally they could be categorized as normal.

In the case of the world in Aludia, they have a different school system for different species due to that difference in maturity development. This is will be explained later in the story though.

Ah, well my age system is somewhat related to the 'growth' of species from one to another. Just like how humans have longer lives than dogs or cats, a similar logic can be applied here. Organs like brain and such develop slower for demi-humans, resulting to them maturing slower than the others. Of course, if they (demi-humans) are nurtured 'properly', some unusual specimen can and will develop 'faster' than the norm of their group, most likely on equal terms to a human or even surpass it.

Well, for your first point, introducing MC's backstory in the first 40 chapters is a bit too much. And as for the heavily reliant on system, nah, he ain't. Probably in the first few chapters, of course, cuz he needs some damn help. That's like a 'tutorial' session for a new player when they play a new game. You want him to become a lord almighty after 5 chapters? Go read some chinese stuff. That ain't gonna happen here. The power system is not explained in the early chapters because why would I? There's no point doing so and the problem of how to fit it in that early part of the story. Otherwise, the first 40 chapters would just be full of useless info dumps here and there. As for the villains... I don't understand why should I spoonfeed readers about all information at once. And the 2-dimensional argument, where did that came from? Maybe we should try to re-define what a 2-dimensional character is. If you really know what I'm trying to do, then I guess you should be able to understand the rest of the story then, and your rating would be very different... Whew, readers gonna be arrogant after reading a lot of stories, thinking this one is similar to the rest. But I guess it is what it is then.
