MY REVIEW:
I made it to chapter 63 before deciding to quit reading it. I thought I could power through if I ignored a lot of the writing, but I lost interest and didn't feel motivated to finish reading the book.
The main part of this book that annoyed me was the writing. I think the author was trying to be atmospheric and show how important the environment was to the setting by spending so many paragraphs describing the weather or setting around them. There's only so much I can take reading about the sky or how the sun illuminated the male lead from behind so that you couldn't see his tiny micro-expressions (that's all he does). These overly detailed descriptions gets really boring after the first few chapters because \these long paragraphs could easily be condensed into one or two sentences max. Instead, I'm basically skipping until the end of the paragraph to get meat of the topic or directly skipping to the dialogue because I know it won't mention the scenery.

Summary from Novel Updates:
Cyril was a Harry Potter book fan. He unexpectedly obtained a chatterbox system that said it would take him to experience the desired Wizarding World.
He rubbed his hands together gleefully. Was there such a good thing?
However, once the system was finished, he found that this Wizarding World didn’t seem quite right?
Cyril (eyes shaking: Forest monster? Brass steam train? Gloomy wizard’s tower? Wizarding academy of the fittest? This wasn’t right!
System (forcing itself to be calm): Magic creatures! The appearance doesn’t matter! The architecture isn’t the key! It is still a wizarding academy! There isn’t anything wrong with it! Not bad, not bad!
Cyril struggled to make it through the Blackheart Wizard Academy. Fortunately, there was the gentle and courteous chief gentleman to cling to. This was until he found that the handsome chief seemed to be plotting against him…
My god! This seemed to the other identity of the crazy great magician and necromancer?
***
According to legends, the dark, paranoid, crazy and perverted great necromancer rubbed the white and delicate neck of the beautiful young man in his arms and whispered, “My dear, I heard that you have been very close to the commander of the Holy Light Knights recently?
Cyril denied it three consecutive times with an innocent fact, “I’m not! I didn’t! Who is talking nonsense?”
MY REVIEW:
I only read up to chapter 10, but I wasn't impressed with the writing, plot, or characters at all.
The writing focuses too much time on how beautiful the characters are from the tips of their fingers to their eyes.
The plot is pretty obvious just from the summary alone, and once you read about their first interactions with each other in chapter 10, you can already tell how the relationship is going to go. It's not healthy at all. I'm really not interested in reading about this type of relationship, so this book is hard pass for me.
