Review Detail of rachelesque in Mage Academy: I Have Infinite Skill Points

This story is about a transmigrator whose system only activates after three years. In those three years, he’s become infamous as a half-baked mage who can’t manage to do anything more than light up a cigarette. Fortunately for him, his system has a bug when it activates and in trying to fix itself, it gives the MC infinite skill points. And well, I’m sure most Webnovel readers know this song and dance already. He’s able to easily become OP and overturn everyone’s opinion on him. It’s basically the same old story. But the translation is decent enough, so if this kind of OP story is the kind you enjoy, it’s a solid choice for a light read as long as you don’t expect anything groundbreaking.

How so? There’s nothing really wrong with it in terms of grammar or spelling unlike a lot of other stories. In terms of translation accuracy, I would have no idea as I have no access to the source and don’t know much Chinese anyway.

Actually, after reading your comment I went back and I have to say you’re right — the grammar is better than what you usually find around here. It’s pretty impressive in that regard, and sort of heartwarming since so many translators here return quality almost comparable to MTLs. That said, the collocations could use some work (ex: they were extremely shocked) and there were some sections where the meaning was clearly off (chapter 2: “Alright, alright, be prepared” where the meaning was clearly supposed to be closer to “Hey now, don’t let your guards down!”). Still, there is just no forgiving the decision not to consolidate the paragraphs so at the very least there are no full sentences split between multiple paragraphs. Though maybe that’s just my pet peeve!
