@Eviltwinq I can see how this can be considered a rip off of Mahouka, but Mahouka is no way a rip off of Harry Potter.
This and Mahouka use science/technology + magic. Though this has added in transformations, their magic is all digital-looking. They both got squares/rectangles/pentagon effects, very modern like? vs traditional magic circles and spells that are all wavy and flowy like HP.
Both this and Mahouka also have the MC as someone that has to hide as a "weak" person because the system does not judge them properly (and because military secrets), but they're in fact, fucking OP and broken af. They're also both generally expressionless/emotionless. Where as Harry doesn't have those kind of issues. Haven't watched/read HP except for the first two movies, but iirc, he's just a complete novice that becomes OP af, correct?
Also, this and Mahouka may take place in a magic school type setting, but they're also heavily military based, Mahouka more so, as the school setting is only really important in the first couple arcs. Though I have a feeling this will be following suit if it's a post-apoc setting. I know HP doesn't fully revolve around Hogwarts, but it's no way got any military settings going on, right? 🤔
Anyways, just because it's got magic and school life as a relation, they aren't rip offs of each other. All three have their slight changes. Could they have influenced each other? Probably, I wouldn't know. Would have to ask the author for that. 😆😆
