So, before you read, let me give you a tl;dr with minor spoilers but will help: n chapter three is an info dump explaining the ranks. However, in the chapter, the translator/author says the ranks are distributed by the colors of the rainbow. Yet, The colors in the very same chapter include CYAN and PURPLE. So, incase Mr. Translator/author reads this: The colors of the rainbow are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Please go back to kindergarden. Anyway, the true progression in this novel is as follows: Red Orange Yellow Green Cyan Blue Purple Now, fast forward to chapter 10. His so called ‘desk mate’ in the synopsis (and I presume the cover picture, which mind you the translator has the girl with blond hair, blue eyes, and english name just like everyone else in the novel.) is suspicious of our MC and asks him to use magic to prove his rank - one’s magic is the color of their rank. MC’s magic should be Cyan colored. But, he tricks her with a useless ability he stole (convenient ofc) that changes the color, thus making it red. Then, he acts hurt that she would force him to show his useless magic. (He’s hiding his abilities, what do you expect) Now it gets good fellow readers. This innocent SIXTEEN year old deskmate now feels guilty, asking how he can forgive her for hurting his feelings. MC’s first thought? Literally to and I quote, ‘bed her’. But, he decides to be merciful and forces her to kiss him. Her first kiss, despite him tricking her. He legitimately guilt tripped a 16 year old into a sexual assault. Thank you for reading my review, I hope your brain cells can continue to work, as mine no longer do.

Ah - further to note is that it was a full blown french kiss, etc. My man straight r*ped a 16 year old after guilt tripping her. So, while I don’t necessarily stop reading a novel that has such topics, it was literally done by tricking her. No saving, no Yin Physique Jade Beauty needing to be saved from the cold, he tricked her, plain and simple. So, I’m out.

I'm impressed someone made it past chapter 2. The entire premise of not caring about superpowers but boring real school is cool made this impossible for me. kudos to you

The author isn't even trying. If you want to create a fictional universe do so, but don't copy stupid things from different cultures in this world and mesh them badly. If there was a negative world building rating, this novel would deserve it. You ask why? First, the American high school system does not work like the chinese/asien systems. The author gets everything wrong there. Second, a supposedly talentless idiot can simply enter the most prestigious school on a wim after skipping school for a year. Third, the MC relationships with the rest of the world, his background, are unrealistic, contradictory and purely there to give MC the underdog feel. Fourth, the superpowers are unimaginative, teaching them in a classroom setting is a waste of time and don't have an impact on society. Writing a fantasy novel with super powers, but taking a setting from the real world without paying attention to the consequences of super powers in the past and present is just lazy. You know, if the MC wanted to meet as many super powered individuals as possible, then handing out fliers would have been a lot easier. Becoming a talent scout, by pretending to have the superpowers to identify others talents would work much better than wathever this novel is trying and failing to do. Also MC is a crepe who preyes on others and a pedophile, it is rare for me to dislike a MC this much, but his supposedly mature ways of preying on underaged kids, while he himself is at least mentally an adult gives me hives.
