Synopsis

[Fantasy] + [Two Female Leads]

Escort the city lord's child of light? I'll take it. The reward covers the travel expenses, after all.

Treat a noble young lady who's been corrupted by darkness? I'll brew the potion, but it'll cost extra.

What? You also want me to be her magic tutor and personal bodyguard?

The “inheritance” the old man left you is nothing but trouble!

I thought I'd finish the job, take the money, and head off to school.

Instead, I was forced into a partnership with Seraphina, the sickly, spoiled daughter of an earl, becoming her “personal cheat” at the Royal Capital Magic Academy.

She learned magic as easily as breathing. Three days to cast without an incantation, a month to master every intermediate spell.

I taught her with my heart in my throat, terrified she'd blow up the training grounds again.

Then came the freshmen's practical exam

I walked onto the arena in a skirt she'd forced me into, and with a water-blade kick, forced the instructor to use high-level magic in three seconds. The whole crowd fell silent.

She raised a hand and brought down a Sunburst Wave, demolishing half the arena and taking first place. Then she turned and linked arms with me. “Teacher, let's be classmates for the rest of our lives, okay?”

I wanted to keep my head down and study, but noble privilege was everywhere.

I watched nobles who should have been in the commoners' class crowd into the elite class, while commoners who should have made Class A were reassigned to Class C.

Only then did I realize that without the earl's backing, I wouldn't even get into Class C.

Fine, then. I'll work for a living.

It's just that my employer's gaze is getting stranger by the day.

We agreed this was a teacher-student relationship, so why does she even want to control what skirts I wear?

And how did she secretly arrange to become my roommate?

Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting

Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.

The first volume is slow-paced, showing the shortcomings of a beginner writer, full of everyday life but lacking any immediately captivating elements; the first four chapters of the second volume are noticeably faster-paced, but in doing so, they neglect the everyday life, basically glossing over it. Overall, however, it is a good book to read in your spare time (from Chapter 21).

I have to give myself a review. One star for my hard work to get this far, one star for thinking the plot is well-written, one star for having fans, one star for replying to all the comments, and one star to cheer myself on!

The writing is good, with a Western fantasy feel and relatively detailed descriptions. However, there are some slightly problematic parts in the beginning, particularly regarding the issue of skirts. The author seems to enjoy seeing characters in skirts, completely disregarding safety. The insistence on wearing skirts in a known dangerous environment is problematic. After finishing that section, there are no further issues, and the overall writing is quite good.

The magical world is beautifully described, and the battles are detailed. However, having read 42 chapters so far, I haven't seen much of a romantic subplot between the two female leads; so far, it's still mostly friendship? The promised tsundere heiress isn't quite as tsundere as she'd hoped. Overall, it's quite enjoyable, visually engaging, and feels more like an ensemble novel.

It's a great read. The world-building is well-established, the characters are well-developed, the writing is excellent, the plot has foreshadowing, and the pacing is relaxed. It's the kind of book I like. If the long passages were broken down into smaller paragraphs, it would probably be even more engaging.

I'm giving it four stars as encouragement. The writing is much better than other low-quality time-travel novels, with a subtle Chinese flavor, but the flaws don't detract from its overall excellence.

It's alright, I'll give it five stars as encouragement.

Although the ending has some deus ex machina elements, it's still a very good isekai (another world) novel.
