Hi, I'm Mateus, I'm 20yo and I'm from Brazil, I love reading fantasy and decided to start creating my own stuff :)

I'm sorry but the English on this is horrendous. The writer can't choose between past and present tense at all. I'm pretty sure if he added some "could", "should" and "would" things would flow much better.
that's the problem, you can't be reading xianxia novels and be a normal upstanding member of society, you gotta choose one.
Dragon Country? 💀💀
The introvert MC that has a pretty and popular girl friend for some reason is hated by the rest of the classroom? wow
So far this feels rushed as if this was the unfinished version of the story. It just glosses over way too much essential information, I know there are stories that tries to avoid info dumping, especially in the beginning, but the basics should be explained at least. For example, where is this academy? In the middle of nowhere? in a forest maybe? I don't remember reading anything about that
First, let's talk about the development of this so-called "friendship", it feels unnatural to me that someone would willingly be friends with someone that threatened them not once but twice, there should be at least a chapter talking about this bonding between them, if not, this change feels too forced and quick. Now let's address the elephant in the room, the writing, it's ... a little bit odd, I hope it gets better.
Now author please explain to me why the fudge all of this happened. The MC literally stole and ran away from his father that took care of him for 16 years and was trying to help him with training and finding a way to fix his problem, neither the wizard nor the disciples acted poorly to him so far, if you just leave this as it is, it's bad writing, plain and simple. Maybe he was mistreated and bullied? Maybe he's a villain ish MC? You should develop on that before doing this so it doesn't feel as rushed. I hope something wrong happens and he learns that his father was just trying to help him or smth, that type of character development.
So... I'm stopping right here. The story isn't bad per see, it's on the beginning still and there's potential to this. The characters are not bad, the writing is pretty good and the fight was really well-written, the flow is ok, etc. My problem is with the MC, I don't know if the author is going for an overbearing type of guy or just plain cold and calculating and I have no problems with characters like that, it's just that so far, the MC feels way too artificial, he doesn't feel "human" so you don't care about him at all and reading a novel where you are not attached to the main character is usually a waste of time so I'm stopping here. 5/10.
