Reading this brings fresh nostalgia, it reminds me of Assassination Classroom a little, if you liked that anime then I heavily recommend this one for you! Not to say that this is a copy paste, but something to definitely read if you like that kind of trope.

Additionally, this one has its own set of characters and uniqueness, just like how "Ultimate Otaku Teacher" is unique in its own way compared to AC.

The magic systems applied and the politics or hidden politics included in this, as well as the educational system applied in Orion is simple yet well thought out, of course there are still some gaps since we are in the early stages of the manga, but overall it's interesting already. The world building is exceptional despite the lack of information, as we are limited to our mc, unreliable narrator, and the school, or class itself.

The plot of having "Egg Cracking" and how the story progressed from the inevitable future to something more noble such as saving children, but still not letting go of their origin is a star to me.

I also love the details added, like how the magic works, the history with witches, or the star in their eyes.

But most importantly I love the characterization. The uniqueness found in each character is already well known tropes, already seen in a lot of stories and shows like this one, but it never gets old. The spice added in this is the mc himself, who grew to be cold and only wanting praise to see his worth, the interest in this is, such a person was the one who initiated to save the children, hesitant yes, but the fact that he even considered questioning why they became evil was the cherry on top. I love seeing the character growth in this, he's just not there to help guide them, they're guiding him in return too. The detail where they prefer his true self than his act is also wonderful.

There is potential in this manga despite the cliches and tropes, I would love to read more, now that we also have the plot of Shao's star in his eye being odd!
