This is only the second review ive ever written, so bear with me-
Story: 6. Honestly, this type of story is getting annoyingly common. VERY common. There's a battle school where people fight with their supernatural "powers"/a manifestation of their soul. The MC acts weak, but is actually stupidly strong, etc.

Characters: 8. Kurogane Ikki, the protagonist is your typical "people look down on me even though im stronger than them" character. Even after that's said, the delving into dealings with his family is more than enough to make up for it.
Stella is your typical princess heroine, but this time hates being labeled as a "prodigy".
There's ... also a cast of side characters, but I wont go into them,

Enjoyment:10
Yeah, even though the story is incredibly generic, this is still a great Light Novel. That's probably just me, though.
The main reason that I hate other LN's like this one is that they all have "dodgy harem ending". This one differs from that. Anyone who enjoyed Absolute Duo or Gakusen Toshi, this novel is right up your alley.

Pretty good main characters, ok side characters, the sex scene was ok I guess I dont know I busted a nut to it regardless. Ikkis power is kind of bullshit, but whatever its cool. Sara is good nut material. Edelweiss is probably the best but this series is never going to be translated past volume 9 so its kind of pointless to read unless you want to sit around waiting years for every volume to be translated.
Overall there's some pretty good nut material here. Or hentai haven but if youre here like me for good nut material you probably already knew that one.
Edit: ... RIP hentai haven

There is nothing hidden when it comes to this series. It's pretty basic, but it does what it tries to sufficiently. My main gripe, and the reason why I stopped reading it after 9 volumes, is that the unofficial translation is atrocious and significantly worsens around volume 9. I appreciate that someone applied their time and effort to accomplish such an endeavor as a fan translation, but the end result does not read well for native English speakers. I cannot attest to how accurate it is as I do not speak Japanese (obviously).

I enjoyed this series for what it was, and would have continued ... reading it if the quality of the translation was not so distracting. If you're on the fence, I'd say give it a shot. It's an easy, effortless read.
