Well I read this because the anime was taking off, obviously, the Light Novel and the anime have some glaring differences, but what else is new? The book itself is a pretty good read, I liked how the book lures you in thinking this would be a typical School Life story. However, we quickly get pulled in for a loop …

Before I started this book I expected this too be some edgy high school drama with some pseudo psychological twist sprinkled onto it. But this book was surprisingly very good and interesting. The school they are attending is like a social experiment with the students as subjects.... that doesn't really capture the essence but the point is it was better …

Me literally waiting for Ayanokouji in volume 4 be like: 🧍‍♂️ (If you know, you know) **Spoiler-free review** This volume was crazy. It was good, but not as I expected. It took 50% of the book for major events to happen which was a bit disappointing honestly, but at the same time I do see the importance of the chapters …

Whoa! I never thought reading about someone's school life would be quite interesting. Of course, the school isn't ordinary but at the same time it's similar to schools in real life. Ayanokyoji-kun is a very interesting MC and I loved reading from his pov. Can't wait to unearth his secrets from the past (come to think of it, we know …

Intriguing plot with painful reality. "The only animal capable of giving man a fair fight is man. Actually, among ourselves, we fight unfairest of all, and the more we practice, the nastier we get." (Robert Buettner)

When I decided to review Classroom of the Elite, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, especially since I haven’t watched the anime. And in the end, what I got was a brain impulsion. Let me explain. I’m a former teacher and a tutor, so Classroom of the Elite’s themes on education and equality set off a firestorm inside my …

Hm, maybe the appeal got lost in the amateur translation, maybe it's because I'm new to light novels, but I did not like this. The pacing is incredibly slow, the characters aren't likeable and the conversations are confusing. I usually don't like to say this, but I really liked the anime version (of this part of the story at least) …

Although i knew the whole story already as i have watched the anime. It was still interesting, I liked the school system in this and also our beloved Protagonist Ayanakoji Kiyotaka. A person who intentionally scores just half the points of what he is required to in every test he takes just to avoid trouble. Well it will be interesting …

OMGGG i watched the anime and had to read it as soon as i found out it was originally a light novel! it was so good, and i got so much more insight into the characters omg i could not stop reading!

Watched the first season of the anime beforehand. The main character in this is noticeably different. For instance, because we hear his inner voice, we're told that he has a lot of insecurities about not being able to make friends, yet he constantly behaves like a sociopath. He also never misses a chance to claim not to want to trouble …

My first thought when I finished the first few chapters was: is this a joke? I saw the adaptation way too long ago, too long to the point all i remember is that whatever this Manga is, it isn’t at all what I watched and enjoyed all those years ago. apparently the Anime had changed some things, including the characters …

Heard good things about this series and watched the anime but surprisingly, this was quite a big slog to read. The major problem i really have is the slow pace and the really unlikeable characters. While the anime's fast pace masked these problems quite well, the shortcomings really do show up quite well in the book, especially when most of …

3.5⭐ 📍Anime **S1 fin. 09/02/21** The philosophies at the start of each episode are interesting. But having watched anime for years, this did not 'wow' me. For one, it's generally just school life. They're in this government advanced school that nurtures students to support the country in the future. The school has a system that ranks students from class A-D …

เริ่มแรกรู้จักอนิเมะมาก่อน และดูอนิเมะ ซีซั่น 1 จบไปแล้ว และหลายคนแนะนำว่าให้ไปหาหนังสือมาอ่านเถอะ มันสนุกกว่ากันเยอะ อนิเมะทำไม่เหมือนต้นฉบับเลย ซึ่งจริงที่สุดดดดด ในต้นฉบับนิยายนั้น ตัวเอกมีบุคลิกที่ต่างจากอนิเมะมากๆ จนไม่น่าเชื่อว่าเป็นตัวละครตัวเดียวกันเหรอ?! และองค์ประกอบหลายๆอย่างในอนิเมะก็ชวนให้คิดว่าเป็นแนวฮาเร็ม แต่นิยายไม่ใช่แบบนั้น อาจจะสาวๆน่ารักสวยๆ อยู่ข้างๆตัวเอกตลอด แต่มันไม่ได้ส่อไปทางโรแมนติกแบบที่ตัวอนิเมะทำ สำหรับเล่ม 1 ยังไม่มีอะไรมากนัก เหมือนเป็นการปูเรื่องจริงๆ แต่ก็ชวนให้อยากอ่านเล่ม 2 ต่อ

این اولین تجربه خوندن لایت ناول یا همون راحت خوان واسه من بود💖. عاشق فلسفه پشت این داستان شدم. کلی چیز ازش یاد گرفتم و کلی هم از خوندنش لذت برم.
