Bookmarked? Dropped.

Life of a Magic Academy Mage stars a one dimensional main character who has no ambitions besides for getting by in life. He isn’t really developed further than that, and the supporting casts’ only purpose is to revolve around the protagonist. There is no connection developed for the side characters since their personalities seem to be set in stone too. But if we were to ignore the typical academy cliches, the academy life itself is pretty interesting. There is virtually no noble-peasant disparity nor sustenance provided. Along with this, the mc isn’t strong compared to the “adults,” but he lives off misunderstandings from his family’s history. All in all, this manwha isn’t my style, which is the reason why I dropped it. It’s good, but the heliocentric characters really diminish any hope for further interest that doesn’t stem from the premise.

PS: This is a review on a story I have continuously read, so my memory + feelings are not nearly as well reflected on ones I have read in one session. Feel free to correct me if I misremember anything.

Unless there is a Christmas miracle/curse, all scores are finalized, and I have an innate bias towards stories with snip-bits of romance.
