Review Detail of Kayle_Mighty in SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar
Review detail
This could've been a very good novel. In fact I won't know if it gets better later on but there's no way I'm reading any further. What exactly was the author hoping to achieve in the first arc when the mc caught the second assassin? This should be over quickly, but no. Mc paralyzed her with poison, and then instead of killing her or interrogating her, we get a whole one and a half chapters of him explaining to her how he watched her and planned for her to fall into his trap. Then we get another chapter where she gets out of the paralysis and tries to attack mc and fails. Then we get another long explanation about how he planned for this to happen. This makes it roughly 4-5 pages spent on a single scene, which wasn't even a fight, she was paralyzed from the very start. This could've been over in a single chapter if he was just going to kill her. If he was going to interrogate her before killing her then it might take another chapter. The author is trying too hard to show how amazing the mc is, and because of that we end up with drawn out scenes like this. It was unnecessary, and it didn't add anything to the mc. It only made me feel annoyed.

Honestly, I just posted a review saying about the same thing. Scenes are drawn out for no reason; it's truly difficult to read until chapter 100 even when skimming. The first 80 chapters can probably be edited to end up being 30. This is something you should really consider doing but I doubt it will happen. On the note about drawing out scenes to make the MC look awesome, it actually just makes him look incompetent. Being awesome would be handling problems quickly and efficiently.
I actually still gave it a chance. I read until he got accepted into the school(even though you spent 3 chapters ONLY showing the results of the test before the mc's results were shown). But that wasn't my problem. Everyone saw him perform that spell on the second test. They saw his scores and saw that he got full marks on both, but the mc had a white core. You actually went ahead and used that to create a misunderstanding? Really? Now everyone is saying "oh he only has a white core, he can't be that good at magic, he probably cheated with an artifact." Now that feels like you're setting this all up for future face slapping. Misunderstandings are fine, but only if used properly. When we see the SAME misunderstanding being used in almost every novel with the 'weak to strong' tag, it becomes annoying to read. This is especially so for people like me who are tired of the 'face-slapping.'
Magecrafter:Sorry to hear that. It gets much better later on, but it seems you've already made up your mind. Goodbye then.
Like I said, it gets better later on You'll probably get annoyed at the early chapters of the Academy Arc. You might enjoy the Inter Class Exchange But where you'll probably start liking the book is the Invasion/Conspiracy Arc. Afterward, the Demon Incursion Arc. But that's still like 100+ chapters. So, if you don't like it now, it's best you don't read further... though it really does get better later on. That's about it.
