Aaaah generic OP MC reincarnator gets sent to school when he'll find out he's OP and actually can't learn any magic there. Specially when he had the writer of magic teaching aid as his mentor.

Seriously generic series so far, very paint by numbers.
I mean, he was able to learn stuff from his mentor. And just having access to attributes doesn't mean you're going to know everything about them. Plus he said he wanted to make friends. Also I'm glad he got some lessons about the world that should keep him from being too naive. He needs to stay a nice kid tho!

The friends part I get although let's be honest he can get them anywhere not just school. I kinda wish we saw some of what he leanred in the time skips cause skipping it just means we gonna get alot of deus ex machina ass pulls when its needed.

 Not in the same as school does, that's something you find out later on in life as you grow up and chances to meet people diminish.

Also, as far as Deus Ex Machina go, that much ought to be expected by what we saw at the end of the very first chapter, only question is how many we're gonna get.

What I do expect, is that perhaps they will actually do something different and have people recognize MC's power and potentional from the get go, instead of having stuck up nobles and people in deep denial.

So far, this seems like the author is trying their hardest to rush to the part of the story they actually want to tell.
Trouble is, doing so skips over some extremely crucial early-in character establishment. All we know so far is:
  • This kid was isekai'ed for trying to save a life (so I guess he's got a sense of immediate justice - he won't go out and save people on his own, persay, but he'll save you if you're within jogging distance)
  • He got IMMEDIATELY abandoned by his birth parents for reasons not fully elaborated on (I say, praying that it isn't as simple as "dArK mAgIc ScAwY" :worry:)
  • He got IMMEDIATELY adopted by his aunt and uncle (who somehow, I guess by being lesser nobles[?], AREN'T prejudiced against dark magic for equally unspecified reasons)
  • And can actually use all the elements at a high power threshold a la typical power fantasy.
His personality at large? Nil. Unaccounted for. Not presented. He study the magic, he do the magic, he save the day. That's all we got. No major motivations, no hopes, no dreams, no goals, no vices, bad habits, etc. He has a single and already rectified fear, and all else is void.
I'm gonna give this thing like 2 more chapters to present us with something before I bail out.

It's really hard to understand why the narration makes it seem like the MC will never see his parents ever again. The author knows the story will get canned sooner or later? lel.

It's not a good sign when it feels like everything so far more or less could have been skipped. Or rather, it feels like author just wanted to skip it. What's the point if you're not going to do anything with the intro?
