My Thoughts on Genius Archmage of the Magic Department
First Impressions
"Genius Archmage of the Magic Department" certainly grabbed my attention with its title. Who doesn't love a good academy story with a protagonist who's supposedly brilliant? The premise of a second chance also intrigued me – a chance to rewrite destiny is always a compelling hook. I dove in hoping for a clever and innovative take on the genre.
What Works Well
The initial setup is undeniably interesting. The MC's regression ability is a unique spin. The story does a good job of setting the stage for his academy life, and the school life aspect is fairly well-executed.
Areas of Concern
However, I found myself questioning the "genius" label. While the MC possesses immense knowledge and experience due to his repeated regressions, it feels less like innate brilliance and more like accumulated wisdom. It seems his main strength lies in his immortality and perfect memory. I couldn't help but wonder if the story undersells the importance of intelligence beyond just knowing things. It appears that after a million years of regressing, he should be further ahead than he actually is.
I also noticed a certain narrow-mindedness in the MC's approach. Despite having an AI companion that points out some of his flaws, he seems resistant to change or self-reflection. This can be frustrating, as it feels like he's not fully utilizing his unique advantage. It almost feels like he's hit a plateau and is content with being "good enough" rather than striving for true greatness or solving the mystery behind his regression.
Final Verdict
"Genius Archmage of the Magic Department" has a promising premise and some interesting elements, particularly the regression mechanic. However, the execution falls a bit short of its potential. The MC's characterization, especially his supposed genius, feels somewhat contradictory. While the school life aspect is enjoyable, the lack of significant progress or character development can be a drawback. It's an okay read if you're looking for a lighthearted academy story, but don't expect a groundbreaking narrative.
