My Thoughts on Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku (LN)
"Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku (LN)" presents an interesting premise: a powerful mage wanting to retire and focus on research gets roped into attending a magic academy. I went in expecting a clever protagonist navigating school life while secretly being OP, but the reality seems a bit more complicated.
First Impressions
Initially, the world-building intrigued me. A post-apocalyptic setting with monsters called fiends, and a protagonist who's already at the top of his game, sounds like a recipe for an engaging power fantasy. The early volumes held promise, hinting at a grander plot and a darker world. However, some of that initial spark seems to fade as the story progresses.
What Works Well
The idea of a genius protagonist wanting to lay low is compelling, and the early focus on world-building does create a sense of mystery and foreboding. Some appreciate the author's early intention to keep romance as a secondary element, allowing them to focus on the plot. The action sequences can be entertaining, and the growth of the female characters, while flawed, provides some narrative drive. The plot does move at a decent pace and is not entirely centered on the school life, which is a great deviation from similar academy-themed novels.
Areas of Concern
One major criticism revolves around the protagonist's character. Some find him inconsistent, easily swayed by those around him, particularly the female characters. This undermines his initial "I want to be left alone for research" persona. The plot can feel forced at times, with characters acting illogically to advance the story. Several also noted that the story drags on, with unnecessary explanations and filler content, especially in later volumes. The villains are mysterious but some readers feel that they are not threatening enough.

Final Verdict
"Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku (LN)" is a mixed bag. While it has moments of promise and a compelling premise, it suffers from inconsistent characterization, pacing issues, and a plot that sometimes feels forced. It might be enjoyable if you're looking for a relatively light read with some action and a focus on character growth, but don't expect a groundbreaking or exceptionally well-written story. I'd recommend approaching it with tempered expectations.
