Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I possessed the weakest character in my favorite game’s Hell Mode. I want to survive, but the way the main character is being controlled is atrocious.

It can’t be helped.

I have to stop the bad ending myself.

I was going to rate it 3 stars but change my mind because the main cast of characters are pretty good even the MC.

As for the review, this has a lot of cliches which I don't usually mind much, what I do mind is the repetitiveness the of the plot. As you read in the description, MC in transported to a game he used to play and once the story starts is when the plot is basically divided in two.

  1. MC fighting the boss of the next big event
  2. MC developing his relationship/friendship with the harem or with a new girl he met
#2 is always enjoyable for me. Author always finds a way to keep it entertaining and fresh for us, the girls are unique and likeable. I wish there were also... more>> some male characters that MC could befriend but oh well.

Another plus is that MC isn't the usual dense idiot who never notices when someone likes him. He knows and he sets boundaries (or at least tries to). He knows he doesn't have the time for a romantic relationship so that's why he doesn't reciprocate their feelings.

Now for #1, the complete opposite of #2; author doesn't try to keep things interesting and fresh. It is boring. There's nothing enjoyable about fighting "big bad bosses" that we never go to meet before the fight itself. There's no hype, no tension because obviously MC wont lose. There's no consequences nor bad aftermath that lets you know that IT WAS a big bad boss fight.

The only exceptions were the first few boss fights and it was because (minor and obvious spoliers)

Spoiler

Thats when future harem members watch his fight and they start to uncover mc's secret identity

[collapse]

Other than those moments, the boss fights aren't enjoyable, at least not to me. Don't get me wrong, they are written good but they are predictable. You can literally just skip entire boss fights because nothing unexpected happens (with only a few exceptions). I wouldn't mind this fights if it wasn't for the fact that there are SO MANY of them. Like I said before, the plot is divided in two, and it switches between them after the latter is over. Preparing for boss and the boss fight itself for a few chaps >>> spend time with harem for a few chaps >>> then back to prepare for next boss. Over and Over again.

One thing that I hate is that author spends so much time giving us all the details to the next "big bad boss fight". Example: MC starts a monologue in his head, in which he talks about the next big event where he'll fight the next boss fight. But he first tells us how that event/boss fight should've been in the game originally. He tells us how exactly would have happened, who was involved in the fight, how it ended, how the original MC would've beaten it. Also how that event would have affected the academy and other characters.

After he is done with that, he starts telling us how his past actions could affect/change the coming event (sometimes MC kills enemies before they were meant to be killed in the game), and he comes up with a few theories on how it could have change. And after he is done, he then finally tells us his plan for the event and how he will be preparing for it.

All of that ^^ is way too much information in a short amount of time and for an uninteresting enemy that most people will probably not remember. Let me talk about another novel quickly; Omniscent First-person's viewpoint. I have read 111 chaps of that novel, and in those 111 chaps there have been a total of 3 big enemies (maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not), with a lot of space in between them. I can name you right here and right now who those enemies were, what were their goals, how there were defeated, their fighting style, their story.

That is something that I can not do with the enemies in this novel. In those 82 chaps that I read, there have been like ten big enemies and I cannot named even one. The only thing I can say about them is that they are pure evil because they are demons, nothing more.

This novel shines the brightest when there is no "big bad enemies" (with very few exceptions). Now let's talk about another novel, Interspecies wives. I was very surprise when I was reading that novel, because in the first major battle, they only showed us the first few minutes of the battle and then they skipped until the ending of the battle. And I was very glad, bc everyone knows the outcome of the battle without reading it. So why waste all that effort in writing something that everyone already knows. If you are going to write a battle, at least do something different, up the stakes, kill a character, make it so that it greatly injurers physically or mentally the MC or someone close to him, ANYTHING that will keep the reader interested.

Sadly this novel barely does that when it comes to fights

I have been shitting on the novel a bit too much so lets end it at a good note. I really enjoy this MC, that is something that I normally don't do. I wish they expanded a bit more on him. There are times where I as a reader feel like he is depressed or overwhelm with all the responsibility he has, to the point that I sometimes feel sorry for him, those are the stuff that I wish were expanded on. Instead of another boss fight, they could just develop him more, and then write one of the girls helping him through those tough times.

The girls are very good, I like them all, specifically Dorothy. Luce a close second. MC interactions with them are also great. There was one of the girls that I didn't really like much; but then something happen and then not only her character but also her interactions with MC greatly improved.

The fights between other students are good, and the way MC gets through them while being so weak is entertaining and enjoyable. Mc's training is also enjoyable and even inspiring.

Like I said twice before already, everything outside the events/boss fights is really good. You just have to ask yourself, are you willing to put up with the boring parts just to get to the good parts?

For now I am, but Idk if I'll change my mind in the future, but at least for now, I'm willing to put up with it.

To be honest, in the last two boss fights, I just 'speed-read' them. So it has been easier to put up with it <<less

Finished reading the raws, this is very wholesome, enjoyable and satisfying.

Although many part are not novel, the execution of the author was very good leaving behind an amazing story that was very entertaining. I don't really have anything to complain about and I have read my fair share of Korean/Japanese/Chinese novels over more than a decade.

I would rank this easily towards the top of its genre.

Give it a shot you will probably enjoy it.

Nice and original sinopsis, but it quickly slip into the same usual tropes without much sens.

The usual MC who for some reason want to stay discreet to save the world when accepting help from everyone and broadcasting it would be far more effective.

The usual bland and tasteless weak hero who misteriously make every heroines inexplicably wet their panties and become dead locked on him.

... more>> The usual plot armor.

The usual disappointment of being pitched a school setting and level system without really ever being used effectively.

It's not really such a bad read and I stopped at around c50, but it's just boring, and pointless if you take two seconds to think about any plot line. <<less

ah, this is a good novel amidst the many bad academy novels. What I like most about this novel is that the plot and character development are not slow. Unlike other fantasy academy novels that have hundreds of chapters but only a few weeks have passed and the MC is still very weak, in this novel everything is balanced.

the shortcomings of this novel can be spelled out that there are many things that are not used. Like OP familiars in the academy, second element MC, and others.

and in the last... more>> battle when MC defeated the demon god you could say it was a little bland in my opinion. But everything other than this is very well written.

sorry if the review is bad, because I'm not used to writing a review this long. <<less

I gave up waiting for the Translation and just read the raws & I gotta say that this was truly an enjoyable ride.

First 30 chapters may start like a typical Harem novel but the middle parts are where the fun and mysteries start to show up which spices the story up.

Aside from 1 heroine, almost all the other heroines felt like they mattered/aren't just there for their tropes and wasn't just there as display waifus.

Even a side-character Villain that I hated early on became such a bro in the future... more>> that he can even steal the spotlight at times.

For the MC, I love his mindset where he can even tell off a yandere of what she's doing wrong. The interactions he has with the heroines are very cute. <<less

I've read it and like it so much I even read the machine translation version after finishing all available chapters from the translator (even pay for the premium lock ones), this just goes to show how good it is. The best way I can describe this is this novel feels like "Little Tyrant doesn't want to meet a bad end" and "The Author PoV".

In terms of similarity with The Author PoV both MC start off weak and gradually become stronger little by little, they both use their head to create... more>> strategize on how to solve a problem while staying under the radar, and they both have "cheat skill" that could boost their power for a while (though its more broken in this than in the author pov).

As for Little Tyrant, they both have the protagonist surround by crazy ass heroines xD, seriously these girls have no chill. But its not really force, they all have valid reason on why they are obsessed with the MC. But be warned their love are intense. Now im worry if this don't end with a harem ending they might start waging war hahaha.x`

The misunderstanding come mostly from the MC 1 cheat skill that is a buff againts any Demon, as you might have guess from the title and summary, everyone who knows of the MC power thought he is hiding his power for some secret and noble mission, the MC is aware of this and try to used it to his advantage convincing them using his in game knowledge and acting.

I say if you enjoy the two novel I mentioned I think you will enjoy this, if youre still unsure keep reading till chapter 46 since I think that has one of the most powerful conclusions, even reading it through machine translator it move me to tears.

I also find it hilarious that some people figure out MC identity as this undercover hero without him knowing, and they all always lose their mind trying to act normal whenever they see the MC hahaha

This definitely scratch my need for this sort of novel.

If you want a bit more spoiler regarding the MC here you go:

Spoiler

Powerful people in the world like the Archmage, basically the pinnacle of wizard, were able to see within the MC power, and they saw basically an eldritch like being able to consuming the world within him. This basically solidify MC position as the next Archmage. So yeah even the archmage here was like, "Yeah he's legit". But the MC dont' realized this, as least up to chapter 140 hahaha

basically our boy is strong against demons like super strong against, homie kind of goes super saiyan and against human he is not as strong but he getting there with extensive training. There's people who know bout his powers and misunderstands him for an archmage, one who can hide their mana levels and it's honestly pretty fun seeing them figure it out and you'll like the characters more as they dig deep into our boy's secrets like ... more>>
Spoiler

when Dorothy and kaya figure it out their best girl rankings went up by a lot for me.

[collapse]
. Well all in all it's pretty generic, but I'll say it pretty good, for example there's some author's pov sh*t going on later and will probably be explain way later, which is pretty interspersed. So while it is generic, it's pretty fun to read too and our boy isn't dense, he actually kind of a chad, he straight tells us that he likes all of them and that after killing nepido or whatever his name was, he'll accept them. While I do kinda find the idea of not dating them till he kills the evil god kind of s*upid, I get where he's coming from. But the thing is that he still openly shows a lot of affection from them, like once he bit their ear and he slept with them multiple times, so I guess it's fine since their just not dating in name. Now, for best girl ranking

1. Dorothy- best girl undoubtedly, like holy f*ck after she appeared for like 20 chaps she was already best girl.

2. And everyone else except white. I personally think that white needs more character development and more screen time for her to be on par with everyone else but maybe that's just me.

now describing them

Kaya is a shy kouhai or sergeant type of girl, she call our boy issac with sama or sir sometimes, she gotten less shy in the recent chaps, but her demon personality/version is almost up to Dorothy level.

luce is just a yandere like super yandere, while all of them kind of are except Alice and white, Luce is very yandere. She said something bout kidnapping our boy or something like that. But after they talked bout it, her yandere was went down a bit, she still thinks about yandere-like things but doesn't really act on them.

Alice is kind of a more seductive and playful Dorothy, while Dorothy is playful, our girl is playful in a different type of way. She is pretty new to the group, so we'll see a lot more of her later on.

3. White is like normal kaya but weak, she is like a hamster I guess, but she does get quite a bit of character development and I'll hope she gets more in the future. Lastly some said that they didn't like the author forgetting the girls, but they didn't even do that, they always reappear quite frequently too. When a new girls is introduced, we still see the other girls appearing, so I don't know what they were on, but they were on somethin. Overall it's a pretty enjoyable read with pretty good pacing and decently long chapters.

4.2 out of 5 <<less

This is how a world building should be, the magic system is solid and the power level makes sense, there's a lot of care in the mechanism behind so nothing seems forced or is left hanging with a "just because", and from the start we know that our MC will be specialized in fighting against the demon race (as one can imagine from the title), which makes for a valid reason to hide his own power.

The main character is transmigrated into a game world as an extra, so he use... more>> a system window just like the one in the game. The story is heavily focused on the main character's efforts to avoid the bad endings while battling with demons that arise during his academy stay, with the final goal of slaying an Evil God. There's a lot of well written action, with fights, exams and duels that take place along the various arcs.

The cast comprise a lot of characters. Whilst the MC is somewhat solid and unchanging, for now, he works as an engine for the main heroines to progress and grow along the story, and I'm sure that the rest of the novel will showcase lots of their new facets. <<less

Our man Isaac is a real one. This ain't no puss MC which backs away from the ladies, he goes straight towards them! Borrowing his own words "I love harems!" if there wasn't a literal demon god trying to detroy the world you can bet our dog would've laid the ladies already but alas, saving the world comes first.

He starts as literally the weakests, the underdog story in which the tiny little sprout grows into the biggest most beautiful tree of them all. But this isn't the story of a... more>> man that gets a cheat and bulldozers throught all the villains. He works hard for it, he works so hard he ends up known as a training maniac. My man goes through so much development is ridiculous. And the best part? His development also develops other characters. He isn't the type to become strong alone and just the only and one peak of the world. The people around him recognize his efforts and put in their own efforts.

Every single one of your heroines (cuz yes this a harem story) work hard to be deserving women of Isaac. The love blooms not from a single glance but from the continuous interactions Isaac and the girls have. Our man earns the ladies through sheer effort.

And what else is there to say about the world? It is pretty dang big and small at the same time. The main scenario is the academy so of course most of the development occurs there mixed with some sneak peeks at the world outside the academy and how it reacts at the events that happen inside the academy.

Even more, recently the world had expanded quite a bit with the introduction of more kingdoms and empires and factions across the world and it seems like it hasn't stopped yet.

The novel focus more in the aspect of magic and epic fights of biblical proportions, the description of magic is pretty neat and easy to understand and the author seems to unleash his inner chuunibyou when he writes the names of the magic used.

If you have good imagination then this novel will give you some truly flashy moments filled with colorful action scenes and satisfaction during other more smaller scenes, but hey, just think of this as a positive view of the world presented through my blue painted glasses. Just take the glasses off and dive into this magical world and see for yourself if it is worth your time. <<less

The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter is a novel worth reading, especially if you enjoy the trope of the Main Character hiding his true power, though that is not entirely accurate for this novel. Honestly, in terms of innovation, The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter doesn't do much, in fact its premise is the standard "MC gets reincarnated into his favourite game which he knows all the hidden secrets to" but in terms of execution it's a 9.5/10. The harem aspect is very well done and each heroine... more>> feels like they get some development and are in similar levels of importance, for the most part. The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter also succeeds at having amazing character development for most of the important characters.

A few examples of this are

This novel is really fun to read, thanks to the unique challenges the protagonist faces (although it starts off a bit slow). He's super strong against demons but struggles against other opponents, adding a cool twist to his journey. He's always working to get stronger, and this effort draws the attention of the female leads, each with their own distinct charm, which really adds to the fun.

The mix of personalities between the protagonist and the female leads makes for some hilarious moments. As someone who loves yanderes, I've really enjoyed... more>> many of their interactions. The blend of humor with the characters’ quirks keeps the story lively and engaging.

The pacing of this story really keeps you hooked. Isaac is on this constant journey of getting stronger, but what keeps it from being predictable is how his enemies level up with him. You get to watch him grow, learn new skills, and how he strategically gathers a crew of allies, each with unique traits. It feels like every new character that joins brings a whole new flavor to the mix, which adds a ton of depth to the plot. It's like following your favorite TV show; you can’t wait to see what the next episode brings and how Isaac and his team will handle their next big hurdle. It’s engaging but not overly complex, which makes it a really fun read. <<less

It's a fun novel to read and easy to follow as the story is very linear. MC is op but only against a specific enemy type;so he works extremely hard to overcome his deficiencies. The girls are great. They are all likable. Every girl gets their own arcs. The translation quality is excellent. Anyway you should definitely check out the novel.

This is a story that is fun to read as the Protagonist is powerful against the demons but actually pretty weak against others,

As he also tries get stronger by working hard the other female leads are attracted to him.

Though personality of the all female leads are different and the blend of those FLs with protagonist is really funny to read, it sometimes feels it is a bit forced.

... more>> The action scenes are perfectly made and that is why I love this series.

And the premise of the story is not much unique but with the actions scenes being written this much good it feels refreshing to read.

Villains are a bit blend for me untill now but I am sure there are many promissing antagonists are there in the future as I continue to read this.

And lastly the transaction is flawless so you can be assured of a great journey <<less

I would rate Demon-Limited Hunter a 4.5/5, it is a really good novel in my opinion. The novel has several good points along with some minor bad ones. For starters, the characters are good including both allies and antagonists.

They have good backstories, presentation, and are memorable in my opinion. Even though the story is confined to the academy settings, the slight glimpses at other places and areas add a subtle touch at world building.

The power system, or in this case magic, has a good sense of versatility (Especially when doing... more>> combinations or joint spells). The story is enjoyable with excellent pacing and isn't boring or a slog to get through for newer readers and is overall an enjoyable read.

Now it wouldn't be a review without mentioning the stuff I didn't like, firstly, the enemies at the start are really lack luster. I mean, I get that MC is suppose to be powerful against demons, but the fights are so short and lack tension.

Another thing I dislike is how the main character hides his identity (Which while it's fine that he wants to hide it, it can be frustrating when there is clear evidence against him).

This novel is quite good in my opinion, again, the bad points are minor so this would be something I'd totally recommend. <<less

I was hooked right from the start on this novel! It drew me in with its unique premise of a weak student suddenly gaining amazing demon-hunting powers.

At first I thought Isaac would follow the typical OP main character route, effortlessly defeating everyone in flashy ways. But I was pleasantly surprised that his newfound strength only applies to fighting demons. Against human opponents he's still weak, which creates an interesting dynamic.

The demon battles are exhilarating to read, especially when Isaac strategizes about how to exploit their weaknesses. And when he's challenged... more>> by other students, it's fun seeing how he creatively uses his specialized skills to survive.

The plot keeps things moving at a steady clip, with new mysteries and adventures in every arc. The story never feels repetitive or formulaic. I also like the way the author incorporates familiar western fairy tales and folklore with added twists into the backstories.

While there's some romance, it's not overly dominant. And I appreciate that the heroines feel like real people with their own goals, rather than prizes for Isaac to collect.

Overall this is an entertaining fantasy academy novels I've come across. If you're looking for something that combines demon-hunting action with witty humor and great characters, definitely give this a try! <<less

As of chapter 12, personally it doesn't look so good. Cliche scenarios, obvious plot-armour, jarring plot-holes. I know I only read so much chapter yet I'm frustrated by MC's lack of logic and FLs' dumb misunderstandings. This is just a rant, and I'll update this later after I've read more of this story

Update as of chapter 106:

Glad I decided to read the rest of the chapters. Indeed, we definitely could have a better start, but it's fun to read if you ignore that. The emotional scenes are a bit... more>> cringe, but there's only a few of that so no problem. This was supposed to be hell-mode difficulty, but the author made it a bit too convenient for the MC. Too much onomatopoeia at times, usually when the demon talks. The misunderstanding sometimes feel too forced that I feel they're truly like an 'NPC' that follows what the 'game developer' wants. Still, this is an enjoyable read if you know how to just simply skip unimportant parts and turn off your brain at times when you found something off with the story. Updated it to 5/5. <<less

Waking up in the body of Isaac, the weakest side character of the game, our MC decides to take matters into his own hands after watching the real Main Character fumble and faint while facing a demon. Investing the points he obtained after using a cheat in the game, he becomes a Demon-Limited hunter. With his powers being below average under normal circumstances, he becomes one of the strongest beings in the presence of Demons.

Not just being satisfied with the limited powerup, Isaac sweats blood and tears, pushing himself to... more>> get stronger. Though the system does aid him, it's not all powerful or unconditional. Using his in-game knowledge, he takes advantage of all possible scenarios to aid his growth.

Aside from Isaac and the original MC, there's a huge cast of characters. Each character is well fleshed out, having a part to play in the story, instead of just being spectators. Here I can clearly state that Isaac isn't the dense harem MC we usually get to see. He clearly notices the feelings of the girls around him, even stating that he doesn't mind having a harem. Though he does hold out on giving them an answer till he completed his main goal.

To sum it up, a pretty entertain academy isekai story with good balance of humor and suspense to keep you hooked and wanting more. <<less

So far the story has been great, the MC Isaac actually knows what he is doing and gets what needs to be done with careful planning.

Isaac is a more passive and calculated MC (up to 102 that I read) compared to other groundbreaking protagonists that immediately break the setting with their knowledge like in Flashing Genius, and tends to plan things out way in advance to assure his odds are actually possible in hell difficulty since he can't blitz everything. The other characters are all full of personality and care... more>> by the author, especially a certain bubbly senior and best girl named Dorothy. The system is very easy to understand because it's not unnecessarily complicated like many out there not being the focus.

The translation is amazing but the writing is the problem.

I'm okay with the fact that the MC knows and uses the game's knowledge to his advantage and every other action scene is him just K.O. Ing the demons like a W.W.E. Champion.

But what turns me off is the NPCs and the femcs:

As other reviewers have stated: the newer girls will always be in the spotlight, the older ones will be put in a zip file on a cheap usb somewhere. FeMCs in this novel sparks and fades like fireworks.

I'm a girl so I'm just gonna give my perspective on this story's harem set a bit:

I feel like Kaya, who was raised with a solder mindset all her life, should be more rigid and stiff, I think her shyness comes from everyone around her not acting like a soldier so she might felt like she's the odd one out and have an inkling about her family's weird ass parenting philosophy. So she's trying her best to control her impulses to salute and stand at attention every time she heard sb calling her name, which will in turn cause her to be shy, not necessarily in a way that is "oh so cutesy I'm shyy~~" kinda way but a "I need to stay away because I might act like a creep to these poor innocent people" kinda way. To me, it's not psychologically logical how she acts but she has her own charm in a way: She has a very imaginative mind, combined with the intelligence of a top-tier wizard which results in her automatically filling the gap in information every time the MC does something weird, I feel a bit regretful how the MC (who can read minds) doesn't pray on this and just make her his loyal servant in the span of 2 or 3 chapters but that just proves how good-natured our MC is. It does saddens me that Kaya, who could prove herself very much useful to the MC in various ways, is forgotten over time.

Luce is a total creep. I understand that she never had a friend before and sometimes if their 1st friend is trying to get away or hang out with other friend groups, they might get a bit obsessive a jealous. But seriously?? Out of all the books of friendships and how to build connections she has never even remotely heard of the word "boundaries". She astounds me in many different ways. As soon as Luce and the MC became friends and WARNED her not to stand out too much, she came to the main gate waiting her him to come like a stalker who found their new target. Completely disregard the difficult situation that she has put him in, and gatekeep the MC like he's a rare animal. I'm sorry but this kind of relationship from my perspective is totally predatory and toxic. IMO, she was okay during the time when she was just watching the MC train from afar but when she got closer the red flags were screeching.

Dorothy is the only one who didn't give me the creeps. She and the MC share the same interest in watching the starry sky. The fact that the MC cares greatly for her goes unnoticed and she also knows when or where to stop and help. If the other FeMCs are like fireworks then Dorothy is like a shooting star. She exudes an air of complexity and mysteriousness that draws people in. I can see why Dorothy is the Mc's number 1 favourite character. I wish she would have more screen time over the other Femcs.

In conclusion, the list of female characters feels like a new iPhone product, the next one will probably come out sooner than you would expect.

The NPCs here are very 1-dimensional, characters like Mateo definitely have their moments to have character development but the other ones are not so lucky. The original protagonist, for example, faints all the time and I don't feel like he's gonna have a power-up during sleepy time. The author didn't even give a perspective on what he thought during the kidnapping scene of his childhood friend, and how he decided to hug her instead of patting her back.

The protagonist is okay in my opinion. Sometimes I feel like he could utilise his assets, knowledge and connections in a more effective way but he is only human. I feel like hell mode for him is normal difficulty, the times our MC had a near-death experience in the training grounds is wayy more than when he faced death during combat. I like his cold demeanour and the bold way he utilized his abilities to destroy demons. He's a very good law-abiding citizen by day and Batman by night with the power of racism.

It's a good junk-food read <<less
