Description
Baek Seung-woo, the swordsman who saved a ruined world. Long after the wars had ended, I found myself inexplicably transported into a novel written by my comrade. In this story, I was destined to play the role of a reckless classmate—a minor antagonist who tormented the protagonist and met a tragic end. But things didn’t go as expected. “Why am I an assistant? And what’s with this damn tail?” Thrown into a tale I’d never read, only heard about in passing, I was lost in a world where the line between reality and fiction blurred. To make matters worse, the weapon in my hand wasn’t a sword, but magic. There was no goal, no clear ending in sight. For now, there was only one thing to do: survive. Because for me, that was the only way forward.

My Thoughts on Academy’s Gumiho is a Magic Genius
Alright, let's dive into "Academy’s Gumiho is a Magic Genius." This one was a bit of a rollercoaster for me, and based on what I've gathered, I'm not alone in feeling that way. It's got some really high highs, but also some definite lows that might test your patience.
First Impressions
Initially, I found the premise intriguing: an Earth-based MC, hardened by apocalyptic events, gets reincarnated as a villainous Gumiho in a magic academy. He's got a tragic past, a cursed body, and insane magical talent – a recipe for something special. However, it took me a while to really get hooked.
What Works Well
Once it gets going, the novel shines in several areas. The MC's gradual healing from his trauma is compelling. His interactions with his adopted children, a quarter-vampire daughter and a dragon, are genuinely heartwarming and provide some much-needed levity. There are also some crazy plot twists that kept me on the edge of my seat and the action scenes, especially when he unleashes his sword skills, are amazing.
Areas of Concern
The beginning is a slog. I found myself wanting to skim through the first 50 or so chapters. The pacing can be inconsistent, with some arcs feeling dragged out while others rush to a conclusion. I also felt that some plot threads were left dangling. Characters introduced early on simply vanish, and certain plot points are glossed over.

Final Verdict
"Academy’s Gumiho is a Magic Genius" is a flawed but ultimately rewarding read. If you can push through the slow beginning and forgive the occasional plot contrivance, you'll find a unique and engaging story with a compelling protagonist and some truly memorable moments. It's not a perfect novel, but it's one that has stuck with me, and I think it's worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different in the academy genre.
