My Thoughts on I Acquired the EX-class attribute Transcendence Copy

First Impressions

Alright, let's dive into "I Acquired the EX-class attribute Transcendence Copy." From the get-go, it's clear we're in familiar territory: academy setting, fantasy world, a protagonist with some seriously overpowered abilities. The title itself screams "cheat skill," and honestly, that's part of the appeal. I came in expecting a power fantasy, and the initial chapters definitely delivered on that front. The pacing felt good, and I was quickly drawn into the protagonist's journey as he navigated the early stages of his newfound powers.

What Works Well

What I particularly enjoyed was the story's willingness to lean into the romance and harem aspects. It's not just a subplot that's awkwardly tacked on; it feels more like a core element of the narrative. I appreciate how the story approaches these themes with a certain level of self-awareness. The potential for exploring the moral implications of a harem situation in a fantasy setting is intriguing, and I'm curious to see how the author develops this further. The action sequences are also well-written, and the protagonist's use of his "Transcendence Copy" ability leads to some creative and exciting battles. The world-building is solid, providing a believable backdrop for the unfolding events.

Areas of Concern

While the harem aspect is presented with a degree of self-awareness, it's still a harem. Readers who aren't fond of that trope might find it difficult to engage with the story. Additionally, the sheer number of tags associated with this novel – academy, aristocracy, assassins, and more – suggests a lot of different elements vying for attention. While the author seems to juggle them competently, there's a risk of some plot threads getting lost or underdeveloped.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Acquired the EX-class attribute Transcendence Copy" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of the action, fantasy, and harem genres. It doesn't necessarily break new ground, but it executes familiar tropes with a certain level of polish and self-awareness. The strong focus on romance and the potential exploration of moral themes within the harem context sets it apart from other novels in the same vein. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a fun, engaging, and somewhat thought-provoking power fantasy. I give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
