Review Detail of SociableHermit in C: Summoner & Magic

First off, this review was made as part of a review exchange, but I aim to be as fair as possible. I read up to Chapter 18: Ayato. Let's get into details. Writing Quality: Overall found the quality to be decent. Especially early on, there are quite a few errors and some sentence constructions don't work too well, but things get much better after only a few chapters. Later on, the style is mostly solid and functional with occasional moments of brilliance and occasional strange constructions. Stability of Updates: This category means nothing. It only incentivices sloppy, mediocre stories filled with clickbait titles and cliffhangers. I'll just stick a default five in here I guess. Story Development: For now, the story is mostly your generic magic academy harem plot, with few deviations. If you like that kind of story then welcome, and please enjoy your stay. This one's right up your alley. It's personally not my style, but I still graded the story high. The reason is that I love the author's unique use of structure, jumping back and forth through time to tell a more compelling tale. The chapters about the futures definitely intrigued me and drew me in much better than the generic plot. Character design: The characters are... very anime. By which I mean everyone has pretty much one set character trait which is then heightened to the extreme. It can be an entertaining style to do characters, but it's not for me, so only 3 stars here. World Background: Without spoilering anything, the world is maybe the most interesting part of the story. It's obvious that the author took a lot of time coming up with details for the plot. While there are several beats repeated from other, similar stories, it has lots of new things to discover, especially below the surface, which I found great. Unfortunately, the author is pretty heavy-handed with the exposition sometimes. While I do enjoy the world, reading three paragraphs of worldbuilding without any deeper context for the immediate story was a bit tiring. Overall, C: Summoner and Magic is an enjoyable, fast-paced magic academy story with some hidden depth just below the surface. If you are into anime-style characters or fast-to-sttrong storylines, this one might just be for you.
