    This story combines superpowers, a league, rebirth, and an academy, and includes a romantic pairing. It feels like the author has simply put a new shell around superpowers, but it seems quite fun. I might wait until it's fully developed before reading further. The author's writing style and pacing were just average in the first few chapters, but they seem to improve as the story progresses. The league section was particularly enjoyable to read. It's like watching the author improve, and so far I quite like it.
