?Qu¨¦ bonita e interesante novela! ?
Amawaka Haruto, un estudiante universitario, ten¨ªa una vida mon¨®tona hasta que se subi¨® al ¨²ltimo autob¨²s de su vida: el conductor se qued¨® dormido y choc¨®, produciendo un accidente que acab¨® matando a Haruto en el proceso. Inmediatamente despu¨¦s de este suceso, Haruto reencarna en un ni?o de siete a?os llamado Rio. Un hu¨¦rfano de los barrios bajos de una tierra desconocida para ¨¦l, quien conviv¨ªa con unos hombres quienes lo utilizaban para ciertos trabajos, pero no lo cuidaban, ni lo alimentaban. Rio ten¨ªa una vida miserable, y quiere vengarse de alguien, pero la conciencia de Haruto aparece en el ni?o y ahora Rio tiene una nueva moral. Una moral de un chico universitario con conocimientos que est¨¢n fuera de su alcance.
Gracias a un giro del destino, Rio va a tener la oportunidad de ingresar a la Academia Real por salvar a una ni?a noble, y a partir de all¨ª, comienza una nueva vida con algunos lujos.
?Es incre¨ªble lo linda que es esta novela! Me gust¨® much¨ªsimo. No tengo tanta experiencia, pero s¨ª podr¨ªa opinar que en otros isekai (en donde el protagonista suele morir y reencarna en un mundo desconocido) no esta presente esto de la doble conciencia. Por un lado tenemos a Rio, un ni?o desfavorecido con una implacable venganza, y que no le importa mucho lo que le pueda suceder a los dem¨¢s, y por otro lado, tenemos a Haruto, un chico aplicado que tuvo m¨¢s a?os de vida, lo cual implica m¨¢s experiencia y conocimiento. Si bien al principio de la novela se hace una detallada descripci¨®n acerca de c¨®mo se siente Rio al recibir a Haruto en su mente, las cosas quedan ah¨ª por el momento (?quiero saber m¨¢aas!)
Por otra parte, me encanta el mundo que describe la autora. En esta primera novela podemos aprender lo b¨¢sico: la familia real, la familia de los nobles y su presi¨®n pol¨ªtica, la posici¨®n de los plebeyos, etc. Tambi¨¦n podemos apreciar que hay magia, y artes espirituales, gracias a la Academia. Hay momentos de tensi¨®n en donde aparecen monstruos, y gracias a ello tambi¨¦n aprendemos que hay un mundo no solo con humanos, sino con qui¨¦n sabe cu¨¢ntas criaturas deambulando por all¨ª. Siento que con cada explicaci¨®n que la autora daba para conocer un poco m¨¢s, solo era la punta del iceberg, y que hay much¨ªsimo m¨¢s por ver en una tierra tan pero tan basta.
Sin dudas quiero seguir leyendo. Me result¨® muy atrapante, din¨¢mico, y me encanta que los detalles est¨¦n al pie, pero me dej¨® la sensaci¨®n de que hay mucho m¨¢s por explorar ?

This is the most "undecided" series I've read so far from J-Novel. This and actually the last one I read, "The Magic In This Other World Is Too Far Behind" both kind of tell very small time stories for a plot that is seemingly larger, so we don't really know what the tone will be going forward (obviously serious, but how serious, how adventurous + globe trotting, no way to truly know). The Isekai type aspect to it is a bit curious as well, and seems like a slow burn.
For what we've got, it holds a lot of similarities to me with Arifureta, which unfortunately is not one of my favorite series. This includes aspects like other students looking down on the main character, him discovering an ability set that outstrips them, him letting bad things befall the cast he really doesn't care about (but saving the girls), potential harem element despite having an early fated romance that spurred him forward, and of course .
The political elements are decent enough. Basically, there are some power plays in the kingdom, King Phillip the third being someone who rose to power at too young of an age, so he acquiesces to the knowledge of his subordinates (to the point he gives them too much say). It's difficult to pin down what exactly each family's desire is though, they just feel like they want power for the sake of power, but they also don't feel like they oppose each other that much in terms of common goals (like trying to take out the hero, Rio). There's some other members in the background that I'm still not fully informed on, like this mage dude Reese who seems to be at the forefront of a lot of the issues here.
Besides Celia, we don't really get to see Rio interact with too many of the other female cast in any positive way. In fact, Flora, the princess of the kingdom, is a constant damsel figure, which is pretty annoying as a reader. I suppose maybe someone is targeting her, but yeah, it's still a bit annoying to have this helpless healer. I'm sure in the time Rio is gone, she'll be perfectly fine, but when he comes back, she'll be targeted once again. =/
Some characters have been named that we haven't seen yet (or at least haven't seen their identities yet). For instance, the prostitute character in the open, Gigi, had a sister named Angela iirc? And we haven't seen much of the Knight, Vanessa, once the school portion begins. Christina (the other princess) and Roroa kind of round out the cast, and have their roles, but they haven't shined yet.
The art for the girls in this is kind of not a huge draw for me. The black and white in particular makes everyone look the same. Like, I'm not sure if the girl on the cover is Flora or Celia (the fact they made Celia stop growing in physical maturity from 13-17 was a bit annoying personally; hopefully they won't do that with all the major female characters in the cast). I assume it's Celia just because of her hat and outfit in a few of the images. Two of the princesses also share that Lavender hair color, so even in color art, they may look alike. I did appreciate that they did have a piece of art for the bull headed demon (Minotaur).
Overall, I just leave undecided on this. Even if he doesn't choose to marry multiple women, it's a harem, with all the side glances and blushing going on in scenes between Rio and virtually any named female character. Rio himself doesn't display much of a personality either besides "smart" to others since he's trying not to harm his relationship with the nobility (and, of course, just the intellect is enough to get scorn from male students and desire from female classmates, go figure). I heard some called it an academy tale, but it really isn't much of one so far. The whole bodysharing aspect hasn't really been fully developed yet either, we just know Rio has the memories of a deceased individual from reality, and that he didn't gain them until he was seven. I appreciate time skips, but again, if you don't age your characters like with Celia, it kind of rings hollow a bit. Hopefully if they time skip again, we see some changes physically. I feel like some time needs to pass if Celia x Rio is the canon ship.

Another entry in to the overcrowded halls of isekai fantasy light novels, Seirei Gensouki differentiates itself by being slightly darker than usual without being too edgy or gritty.
The protagonist, Rio, maintains a delicate balance of Gary Stu-ism without being too overtly worshipped by the author, who paints a practical picture of Rio's struggles and decisions. A good balance of internal monologue expositioning and world-building also helps a lot in the process of establishing Rio as a sympathetic protagonist.
Another point of differentiation is the lack of harem action, albeit there are tons of flags the author scatters around. A lot of problems in this genre do stem from a hare-brained push of the harem action from the start, but this series focuses more instead on Rio's internal struggles with selves within him and conflicts with the world at large due to his background.
It makes this book quite a riveting read for those bored and turned off from the usual tropes in the genre.

This was an excellent novel. If you are looking for something light though, this is definitely not it.
My only complaint is that the author seems to be subtracting 10 years from the ages the characters act for some reason, so nothing makes sense. Though if you add 10 years to every given age, stuff makes sense again.
While it's common for 16 year olds to act like 26 year olds, in this book, 7 year olds acted like 16 year olds. For me, this definitely detracts from the story. I keep expecting there to be a reason this had to happen, but so far, I haven't found one.

I went into this book with zero expectations. I knew vaguely that it was an isekai and magic.academy series, but I hadn't paid attention to plot descriptions beyond that.
The first third of the novel raised my expectations. This is an isekai, but told from the POV of a kid who's been reincarnated with only a vague memory of our world. The kid lives in a slum with a band of criminals until one day said criminals kidnap a member of the royal family. He rescues her and after some difficulties receives a reward for his good deed -- admission into the royal academy.
This is where the story transitions into a magic school tale. Our Hero has enough memory of our world that he's able to excel at his studies once he familiarizes himself with the writing system, though actual magic remains difficult for him. The prospect of a story about a student who's actually good had me excited for a moment.
But then the narrative started skipping ahead. Tournament arc? One chapter. Practical test that turns dangerous? One chapter. In no time at all, five years have passed.
Now, okay, magic high school stories can be repetitive, so skipping ahead to the good stuff could be a.smart move. Unfortunately this comes.at the expense of every other character in the story. Our Hero is well drawn, but the rest of the cast is sketchy at best. A few characters get one or two personality traits, but most are left as spear carriers. This makes it hard to feel anything about what's going on beyond how it affects Our Hero. Even the one character that he has a close relationship with doesn't have enough development to make the reader feel anything about her. I can tell the author wanted to race through the school stuff to get to the good stuff, but in doing so he didn't write a story that breathes. Even if it wouldn't be original, the school arc should've extended across two or three books instead of being done in.less than one.

This author has a morbic passion to torture, physically and emotionally assault the main character Rio of this light novel. I think the author's need to exaggerate the anguish, torture and gore, and to over explain everything (as an excuse to complete the space of this first volume) is unneeded and irrelevant.
This dystopia of an alternate world is terrible, with privileges, injustice and greed. If one could write any new story (as an escape from the gore of how terrible our real world is) to write the same terrible things in another world is a total lack of imagination, lack of hope and lack of ethical values.
I don't understand why the main character needs to suffer so much, and why the "good people" do not do anything and let the evil people do whatever the hell they want all of the time, including in isekais, fictional stories for minors like this one.
Another thing I don't understand is making the main character someone androgenous; as if making the main character so gray (because of suffering and torture) is actually something to look up to and praise. This desire by the author to make the main character Rio, become invisible to everyone, should be criticized and disliked by all the readers.

This was a light, fluffy read. The thematic elements of love, revenge, death, and social injustice target a young adult readership, but the writing style was juvenile. As with most Isekai stories, a Japanese male (Rio) has been transported to a fantasy world, this time via death, with super powers. However, good Isekai stories provide sound explanations for these undiscovered powers, and they limit the main character so that resolving his or her challenges isn't easy. This valiantly tried to match that ideal, but came up short here and there. It also suffers from a common problem all light novels seem to have: surprise plot elements unsupported by foreshadowing. Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles Vol 1 had quite a few surprises, and many powers or plot events felt as if they were suddenly pulled from a hat. Another flaw in the story was that most of the characters weren't fleshed out very well beyond support, foil, love interest, etc. Even the main character was a bit of an enigma. The only relationship that felt developed was between the main character, Rio, and Celia. Overall, however, the story was entertaining.
October 25, 2021
So far it seems like it is quite alright. I think there are some faults with word choices, though that is only really for the adjective before the word "smile". Like, an example was when Rio felt refreashed about something, he made a bitter smile. How on earth does that make sense? Also one thing that annoys me exceedingly is whenever a girl is introduced, she is ALWAYS described as cute. I mean what is going on, how can every single girl he meet be cute. Are there no normal looking girls, or does he just have some wierd cute girl magnet or what. I feel my mentel health deteriorate every time I see it, but whatever. If you ignore these points as well as my failing mentality, I'm sure you could enjoy it.

A story of revenge of a little boy whose mom was killed in front of him when he was 5 years old, he regained the memory of being a university student in Japan and he accidentally saved the second princess of a kingdom and was sent to a school as reward after 2 years. The main Character, Leo, stayed there for five years and learnt everything and left the kingdom due to being set up his classmate.
For my opinion, this is a very interesting story since it started with intense battle it also show both sides of human, especially in the higher ups.

Epic!
I originally chanced upon this book in manga form, and was completely drawn in. I was sad that the first manga was cancelled early, but it seems to have gotten a reboot. Finding the light novel has filled me with joy.
I love the pacing, and character development. It has me hooked from page 1. I just couldn't put it down. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Very enjoyable
A very enjoyable first volume with a very interesting main character, and an entertaining setting. The main character is smart enough to adapt to changing situations, knows when to ignore his pride so he can make the best of the situation, and works hard to better himself in many ways. This is definitely a story you should take the time to check out, I think you would assuredly enjoy it.

Like others have expressed before I had really low expectations. Turns out it is a good story. Not very original, but good enough. There is a lot of action, but very few people actually die. The main character Rio is not the brat we see in other isekai, but a very cautious person that actually plans his actions. Also I like the realistic tale about royalty and the mistreatment of the lower classes. .
May 3, 2019
Edit: I¡¯m changing this to a 4.5 star because this book is still really fresh in my mind 2 weeks later which is unusual for me.
My original expectations of this were pretty low since I had heard nothing but mediocre reviews of this and the cover looks like it¡¯s going to be another ecchi harem but I was pleasantly surprised. As someone who has had very little experience with the isekai genre and light novels in general, i found this novel to be a very good introduction to both of those things. There wasn¡¯t too much romance/ecchi and in fact there were only barebones development between two of the female characters that if you blink you would miss. There also weren¡¯t any complex magic systems to make my head spin and there was interesting world building that has me intrigued for the next volumes. The way Seirei ended also left me hopeful that the next volume will be even better than the first.

A well known story about unjust environment between classes
Different take on the rag to riches normal for rebirth of a individual in another world. Showing the blind eye of nobles toward the common man. This approach allows for a totally different take on this type of story.

A twist of a common genre.
The story is just ok, a common genre with a twist. The main character lacks personality, hopefully it will develop in future volumes.

It was very interesting and not what I had expected. I just wish it covered a little more of the full six years at the school or went more into the man who killed his mother.

Good start to a series
I liked it so far, there were a few spots that were a little drawn out, but I liked it and can't wait to read the next one.

Usual harem story, isekai, but pretty dark. Not on my priority list but I might continue reading this series later.

Pretty good Isekai fantasy light novel with a mature lead character and interesting, bleak world. The weakness of these books are often the silly amount of harem trope.
January 16, 2022
This is truly a great story.
February 1, 2022
Still reading 18 books later but has many of the tropes that light novels are plagued with. Story is good if a bit slow and repetitive. 3.5/5

I don't know how the MC did it, keeping so calm and cool in the face of such discrimination. I am still reeling from figuratively holding in my anger at the discrimination he faced.

Nice read
Have watched the anime series. Got the light novel to fill in the background of the characters and see how it goes after where the anime series ended.

If you like this one, I am near halfway through the series and they¡¯re all basically the same. Sometimes that¡¯s what you want. Not much thinking required.
