Description

Three years ago, I woke up as a game character – as a side character, at that. Heroic Legends of Arhan. The protagonist was also a reincarnator like me, so we decided to stick together and see the story through properly. But something was wrong… He said he didn’t know anything about the game, but this… “It’s fine, isn’t it? This world is just a game after all.” 『The player has been killed. You have failed the attempt.』 …This f*cker lost? I returned to the past; to three years ago. Now’s my chance. I must kill the player.

My Thoughts on I Killed the Player of the Academy

"I Killed the Player of the Academy" is a wild ride, and after diving in, I can see why it has a dedicated fanbase. It's not groundbreaking, but it's a fun fusion of academy life, fantasy action, and harem elements that, when it hits its stride, is genuinely enjoyable.

First Impressions

The premise is definitely a hook: Our MC possesses a side character in a game, only to discover the player character is a yandere who's been messing with the world. Regression follows, and the MC vows to, well, kill the player. It's a strong start that immediately sets the tone for a story that doesn't take itself too seriously.

What Works Well

The action scenes are a standout. The author really shines in crafting vivid and engaging combat, and I found myself easily visualizing the battles. Many readers praise the protagonist, Korin, for his charisma and the way he draws out the potential of those around him. I also appreciated that he's not a self-righteous hero; he's got his flaws and priorities, making him relatable.

The world-building, while not always the primary focus, is solid. It's consistent and offers satisfying answers to questions that arise. The characters, especially the heroines, have distinct personalities and play meaningful roles in the story. While it's a harem, it seems the author makes an effort to give each character their due, which is a plus for those who enjoy the genre.

Areas of Concern

The pacing can be a bit uneven. Some arcs feel rushed, and at times, the story leans heavily on familiar tropes. Also, the power progression system is a bit arbitrary, which can lead to some inconsistencies in fight scenes.
