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.

Ashes Of Deep Sea

Duncan Abnomar was transmigrated to a magical world. Most of the lands of the world had sunken, and the surviving humans could only live on islands. Due to an unknown reason, the world was also contaminated and strange phenomena and things would randomly appear. Humans had developed steam gear technology, and the islands were connected through boats. They survived by studying strange phenomena that happened all around the world. However, as the captain of a scary-looking ghost ship, Duncan was facing a huge challenge. "How the heck do I steer this ship?" Highly recommended by experienced editor: MC is transmigrated to a world mostly covered in water and far from civilization. He becomes the captain of the ghost ship, the 'Homeloss'. He steers through the fog and adventures through the broken world and the unknown deep sea. As he discovers the ruins of abandoned civilization, he would also stumble into the war between the strange phenomena and the devil gods. The story takes place in a combination of ocean and Chutly mythology world, a new and interesting background. It’s an attractive story to read due to the author’s sense of humor and mastery over the ambiance of the story. --------------- Another-style introduction: "On that day, a thick fog engulfed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the dense fog and faced a completely overturned and shattered world – the former order was completely gone, and peculiar phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society. The island city-states and the fleets challenging the sea have become the only lights of civilization left, while the shadows of old days still lurk in the deep sea, waiting to devour this dying world again. But for the new captain, there's only one pressing question – Does anyone know how to sail this damn ship?!"
