I Will Make the Original Protagonist Fall From the Academy

My Thoughts on I Will Make the Original Protagonist Fall From the Academy

This web novel certainly made an impression. "I Will Make the Original Protagonist Fall From the Academy" is a wild ride that, while not perfect, certainly has some intriguing elements. It's a story that seems to embrace absurdity, and whether that's a positive or negative really depends on your personal taste.

First Impressions

Okay, so the premise is… something. Our main character reincarnates as the older brother of the original protagonist, who's treated horribly. The MC discovers that this protagonist has a hidden, ridiculously overpowered ability to replicate game characters' powers—but it's a one-time deal. So, naturally, he spends a decade designing his own game so he can become essentially a god. It's bonkers, I'll admit.

What Works Well

Despite the initial absurdity, the story seems to have a certain charm. I can see the appeal for readers who enjoy overpowered protagonists and harem elements. The core idea of using game knowledge to gain an advantage in a fantasy world is a common trope, but the execution here seems particularly over-the-top, which could be a selling point for some. Also, I understand that the progression of the story and the balance of the elements is well done.

Areas of Concern

The sheer absurdity might be a turn-off for many. The power levels seem incredibly unbalanced very early on, potentially removing any real sense of tension or stakes. Also, the goal of making the protagonist fall and gathering a harem might feel repetitive or uninspired to some readers.

Final Verdict

"I Will Make the Original Protagonist Fall From the Academy" is a novel that knows what it is and doesn't apologize for it. If you're looking for a serious, nuanced fantasy story, this isn't it. However, if you're in the mood for a ridiculously overpowered protagonist, a healthy dose of absurdity, and don't mind potentially problematic themes, this might be worth a look. Just be warned, it's not for the faint of heart. Ultimately, I'd give it a cautious recommendation, but only for a specific audience.
