"this character is trash because he cant use magic and can only use melee and blink
TF u mean blink is OP AF skill especially for melee damage dealer.
"the skill set has many downside like uncontrollable blink direction, cooldown and stuns"
"ah i see, that make sense why this characters isnt OP"
in the very fkin same page:
"all the downside are nullified" because he try hard
korean and their inability to make consistent "weakness" and writing because nON-Op mC suCKs

Read the first 4 chapters, and so far I do not like how quick the story is to brush off the plot holes of how MC can flat out negate the flaws of the 'Blink' ability. Yeah the best explanation for MC negating the drawbacls of his ability is, controlling distance-wise, deactivating the ability 0.1 seconds after using it, but that literally does not explain how 0.1 can make you stop between 3 to 9 meters like does canceling activation make you go to 3 meters? 9 meters? 5 meters? The MC also just brushes off how the 'random direction' the 'Blink' ability shoots you at is just "um actually, nobody knows how to control where to go with Blink" like bruh, the distance and direction of 'Blink' is presented to be randomized yet MC has no issues with either. The 3rd flaw of 'Blink' is the stun/paralysis after using it, which MC literally only mentions once and doesn't bring it up as even other characters brings it up. Super annoying plot hole I'm seeing but hopefully it gets a explanation than something half-assed and half explained

Chapter 6: bruh how do you remember an entire character lore but not their unique magic, hell this is literally the first time I've seen lightning and ice magic together, AND YOU WERE SAVED BY IT FOD YOYR TRUE ENDING ANY% SPEEDRUN YOU DINGUS!

ikr,
atleast make the background make sense like :

"This characters is actually pretty strong, but in a world where magic is op and Meta, his inability to use magic other than blink makes this characters really complex with extremely harsh early game, steep learning curve and high skill ceiling. and even if you managed to get used to it, it has low investment return and really repetitive playstyle at end game. which make it really unpopular characters among player"

there, you dont need to make up for bullshit downside just for it to be ignored later on because author doesn't have the brain power to actually make a reasonable reason to exploit such weakness other than "he just train hard"

the skill really have no downside,
its says cooldown but the player just use it whatever they like. and he never runs out of mana doing so.
like wtf? your body unable to contain mana, therefore, you can use the skill infinitely?

VENT:
During chapter 25, he life was in danger, there were several situations where he would have died. In the first chapter, we saw him killing the dark magics who were trying to kill him. Sure, he can't kill a student, especially not one who is a royalty. But you really couldn't even attack them? Just because you think the enemy has given up, doesn't mean they have. There uninjured, you're close to them, they can use magic to attack you. They've already tried to kill you several times before, why would they not now? What would have changed in there mind in the last 10 seconds to make them think they lost? Throw a punch, a stab to the knee or arm? Are you really that worried that you would face execution if you injured the royalty? Or is it that they are kind and can't hurt someone when they can avoid it. The corrector should act kind, that's how they made him to be, but considering chapter 1, im shocked that he refused no matter the situation to harm his opponent in any way when they would not do the same. Kindness the that degree will only come back to bite him in the ass. If there trying to build him up to fight the final boss of this story, he can not make it with this trait unless the author pulls some shenanigans.
Considering how the character has been portrayed so far, they should be kind to most, with none given to there enemies, and willing to fight dirty considering his "weak" abilities. This is not how they are being portrayed. You don't always need a lawfully good main character, sometimes a chaotic good would be more appropriate for this character.
Its a good story, but I don't want to see this story have the main character act as the other one thousand and one isekai stories do. These story beats worsen the story a significant amount.
Point is, the main character is acting soft, and acting that way should be punished, but is going to be rewarded as is the case in most stories.
REVIEW:
When comparing this story to its peers, The Demon Prince Goes to the Academy, How To Live As An Unlicensed Healer, Leveling Beyond the Max, Mightiest Melle Magician, it holds up to them. The art is acceptable. The story beats are like all the others, acceptable. Its main differing factor is the MC ability to teleport a distance of up to 10m every 3 seconds. 3 seconds of course means 0.3 to 30 seconds depending on the situation. If you enjoy seeing this teleport ability, and a MC who every thinks is the absolute worst in ability, rise up to become the strongest, then this is for you.
If you can let go of the teleport aspect, and want a story where the main character is putting in a lot more effort, clearly, obviously more, then go read The Extra's Academy Survival Guide. Up to at least, 82, its the great, 9/10.

Rating:
5/10, will be 6.5/10 if you are able to skip of the parts that suck.
If you got nothing else to do and are bored, read it, otherwise its a waste of time.
