Review Detail of AnthonyCerbic in Elite Mages' Academy

The story is somewhat boring, to be honest. Yes, there's magic/cultivation and stuff, but there's no thrill - the MC gets a "secret" OP gold finger, everybody is dismissing him at first and then impressed with his progress... *yawn*... Very cliche. The author tried to be original with the general setting - i.e. its "us" invading other world, not the other way around - I'll give you that. But its not enough to make the book worth reading. The plot setting is novel, but not used well enough to carry the book with everything else being mediocre. There is silly school drama, the face slapping, tournaments... *triple yawn*. Overall, it never feels like the stakes are high for the main character - we just know in our guts that he will win everything, have all the luck, all the best encounters. Basically, even when formally in danger, it never feels like that - he can (and does) go without any lasting losses through mortal challenges he extremely under-prepared for again and again. I found I was worried more about his support female character (the smart one) than the MC himself. At least her situation is really dire and she is on a countdown to solve it without any cheats.
