Recommend this book for those who love COTE, but also wish to see a different perspective than Class D.
What people don’t really think about is that Class C is full of delinquents.
Now why am I pointing this out?
Well, that’s because when this class truly unites it resembles a gang of villains, and seeing their rise gives a different feeling compared to Class D’s.
In comparison to Class D, who is given the role of the underdogs(failures that overcome all odds to rise to the top), Class C aren’t quite the underdogs.
They aren’t at the bottom and they aren’t failures.
They’re cocky, they love to push buttons, they’re oppressive, and overbearing.
They’re delinquents.
They’re Villains.
They’re biggest strength, however, isn’t their delinquent nature but rather their unity.
The only other class to match them in this aspect is Class B.
However, while Class B is full of Angels, easily exploited, Class C is full of Devils, ready and willing to cause mayhem and destruction.
The MC much resembles a Mob Boss or Gang Leader throughout the story, having the most united class (apart from class B), and the true mastermind that is grown to become feared by everyone.
He is genuinely intelligent and rules with an iron fist. And yet you can tell that everyone in his class respects him.
He’s a Villain, but he’s a Villain with enough intelligence to know that ruling with simply fear won’t guarantee loyalty.
You need both the stick AND the carrot.
He’s always dominating and unlike Ayanokoji he seems to still have a soul lol.
Speaking of Ayanokoji, my only gripe with this story is that his presence is practically nonexistent.
But apart from that, the story is quite excellent.
Really recommend!
