Description
I wasn’t reborn with talent or ability, but at least my knowledge from earth allowed me to stay one step ahead in this other world. Magic exists here, and new progress was rapidly being made in science while magic stagnated in the name of tradition. Using my earthly knowledge and not bound by the traditional thinking, I was able to do things other wizards couldn’t even imagine. Still, inadvertently becoming an undercover professor for a mysterious secret society at the renowned Theon academy was never in my to-do list!

My Thoughts on Academy’s Undercover Professor
"Academy’s Undercover Professor" is a web novel I recently dove into, drawn in by its premise of a protagonist juggling multiple identities in a world blending magic and steampunk elements. With a solid 3.9/5 rating and a complete original run, it seemed like a promising read. However, my experience was a bit of a rollercoaster, with highs and lows that ultimately landed me somewhere in the middle.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The opening chapters are intriguing, dropping you right into the action with a protagonist who's already a seasoned player in this world. The idea of a transmigrator with a past filled with aliases like "Jack the Ripper" and "Van Helsing" is undeniably captivating. The story quickly establishes a sense of mystery surrounding the MC, Rudger, and his accidental assumption of a professor's identity.
What Works Well
Many readers praised the competent and cunning nature of the main character, and I agree. Rudger isn't your typical overpowered protagonist; he's clever, resourceful, and uses his knowledge to navigate complex situations. I enjoyed how the author balanced magic and technology, creating a unique world that felt both familiar and fresh. The early arcs kept me engaged with their blend of mystery and action. I also appreciated that the MC focused on his goals, maintaining a mature and consistent approach to problem-solving.
Areas of Concern
As the story progressed, I started to see some cracks. A recurring criticism is the character development, or lack thereof. Some characters, particularly the female ones, can feel one-dimensional, often falling into the trope of being infatuated with the MC. This "reverse harem" vibe, as some readers described it, can become tiresome and detract from the overall plot.
The plot itself seems to lose focus after a certain point. The initial intrigue fades, replaced by repetitive scenarios and an overreliance on misunderstandings for drama. The antagonists also lack depth, making it difficult to feel any real tension or threat. The translation quality also becomes an issue later on, with errors and inconsistencies that disrupt the reading experience.

Final Verdict
"Academy’s Undercover Professor" has a lot of potential, but it ultimately falls short of being a truly great novel. While the initial premise and the MC's competence are appealing, the weak character development, repetitive plot, and translation issues hold it back. If you're looking for a light read with a clever protagonist and don't mind some generic tropes, you might enjoy it. However, if you prefer well-developed characters and a tightly woven plot, you might want to lower your expectations. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, with the caveat that your mileage may vary.
