The Extra's Academy Survival Guide

I hate Tiktok, and I hate how it stigmatized fast-pace, implicated content.

And I hate how shallow people became due to it.

It had a very rough start, but I REALLY like it!
I'm reading it on Webtoon and I rate it an 9/10

I will just say it with cold, reckless arrogance.
Anyone saying that this comic is bad or anything less than very, very good is a tasteless idiot that deserves to suffer their tasteless idiocy until they grasp the concepts of true coolness.

There is just so many brilliant things in this comic and it keeps evolving to such higher brilliance that it immediately become one of my favorite comics of all time.

The humor that hits you at the random times is just an evil cheater ninja.
The MC that deserves his strength trough absurd tenacity and torturous ordeals. His character is the epitome of effort and insane workoholism. The first chapters don't show it much but he grows into a such an admirable badass, that he brings you to manly tears 😢
The intense and yet well paced story progression and motivation development of wide pallet of side characters that is layered like petals of a beautiful flover that bud into a magnificent flover as the story progresses. There are bunch of tiny meticulous details sneaked early in the story that give you a small hint of something to later give much more meaning to something else. It is not just a plain old foreshadowing. When it hits, it hits so hard you are left in an awe.
The adorkable romance buildup with actual multiple love interests (yeah, harem potential, JUST hear me out), that doesn't feel forced because the MC is really just THAT AWESOME and they are so well written that it feels imposible to chose a favorite. They are just precious in their own way. It is a running gag of the comic that chicks just dig MC at cataclismical levels, as he just has that much swag, and the characters watching from the sidelines treat it in ranges from hilariously entertaining to cognito-hazard depending on what relationship they have with the MC 🤣
The actual feeling of warmth and closenes between him and his friends that bleeds out of the pages.
The plot ideas and twists that keep you in disbelief of how crazy things develop. Seriously now.
YOU KNOW THAT A COMIC IS GOOD WHEN MC DEVELOPS EPIC BROMANCE WITH ONE OF THE MOST OP CHARACTERS IN THE STORY AND DOESN'T HOG ALL THE COOL.
Aw yeah, the character design, emotional portrayal and art style are really, really good too, and the battles are drawn amazingly good. Funny how this came to me as the least impressive thing out of all impressive stuff 😄

In simple comparison, this is THE GREATEST ESTATE DEVELOPER, OMNISCIENT READER VIEWPOINT, THE STAR EMBRACING SWORDMASTER levels of good. I almost compared it with THE 7TH PRINCE, but after comparing the MC, story and the side characters, this is hilariously better in all aspects except visual spectacle. Not even ONE PUNCH MAN has visually more spectacular battles than 7TH PRINCE, I will die on that hill.

MC is lately sneaking into Lelouch tier of The Eminence In The Dorkness type of sneaky MF with all the crazy bullshit he is doing and how ridiculously OP he becomes. Expecially with the latest chapters. Jesus. Bru is struggling to stay in the background more and more as the story progresses.

Best to read it on another site bealcause of missing chapters until you catch up near the latest chapters.

READ IT.

This is one of my favorite Webtoons, it feels like how a tabletop rpg should be played.

Everything the MC gets, power scale wise, feels earned. He's never this OP mess that other Isekai of a game tend to make, but hes still strong enough that he isn't just an afterthought.

Im pretty much only reading this on Webtoon, so im pretty much only getting a chapter at a time now, but I highly recommend it.

Everyone seems to be split on their opinions. This manwha worked for me, I think it has a good story, «average paced plot», though in some parts it's a hard watch (especially when the MC dies). I haven't gone any further than the chapter where Adelle tries to save everyone again from the sacred dragon VELBROK, which was a brilliant introduction to another brilliantly fierce name for a dragon.
More importantly, if you are looking to read this but don't have the time to, just listen or watch this recap by Manwha Fresh

I very much enjoyed the series. And preferred it if everyone just gave this one a shot for «Isekai School Life's» sake.

 

[anamethatwasnttaken]

It got a hint of slop but is still one of the better ones in "reincarnate as villain" stories imo.
art is great but the plot progresses a lil bit fast like, the girls getting romantically attracted to mc all of a sudden in a single chap. all in all, it's already better than all of the cheat skill shits with mc actually struggles and grows. 7/10

Remember a chapter in this manga is like 2-4 chapters compared to other manga

 

[HaveABanana]

I've been enjoying this one and how it better handles the tropes you normally expect from the 'reincarnate as the villain' and the obligatory harem. Compared to others in the genres, this one I think better juggles the struggle of trying to seek a good ending while keeping things close enough that knowledge of the original story is still useful. In particular, the growth and changes in other characters beyond his expectations generally feels better set up than most I've seen.

On the harem front, he could be more forceful about shutting it down but I think MC has presented a reasonable stance of not considering a serious relationship with anyone until a certain date (basically when the story ends and he can theoretically live like a normal person). It can be a little frustrating still to see how much everyone bends over backward to create the love competition but somehow that feels a lot better mitigated than others where everything feels more contrived and forced.

Cinema! Glad I continued this series, the plot to the story is a 10/10. Would be in my top 10 manhwa reads of all time. As a person who reads manhwa everyday for the past 5 years trust me on this. I'm just sad because it's the end of season 1 and I have to wait for months for tis series to come back again.

the plot is actually building up pretty well in this one, and i'll be honest, the plot is in NO WAY rushed at all, there's a lot of long chapters and we got a lot of part about MC adapting to his situation by growing from training, learning, and practical experience; he literally went from zero to hero through a lot of training and ironically, meddling with the storyline. Even if some people feels it is kinda rushed, think about it, this dude messed with the timeline since the beginning and butterfly effect is watching him with popcorns in hand, and there is a time skip during the summer vacation that jumps into fall or next semester, but tbh, i'd rather have that than some slow paced and probably full of drama training arc filler.

and ngl, it's also sorta close to "I Killed an Academy Player" in terms of theme, the difference only lies in the MCs' action and way of thinking though, in IKAP the MC is actively trying to prevent the ruin of the game universe as well as to prevent the GMC from messing stuffs up by killing him, it's also to keep his innocence safe from getting geh'd by the obsessive GMC too tbf lmao, and he did keep himself away from messing with the storyline at first but had enough of GMCs shenanigans.

While in here, the MC is legit focusing to stay alive, graduate with his diploma, and try to not mess with the story progression since he is so damn confidence that his existence won't mess the storyline (you thought lmfao), little did he know that by staying in the forest instead of leaving as god intended, he pretty much changed A LOT of things already, mind you that all he did at first was build a simple shelter, go fishin, and huntin to keep himself alive while trying to stay out of the story.

SPOILER ALERT: WAIFU PROGRESSION
as the golden rule of manhwa goes, MC will get AT LEAST 1 WAIFU per story, and mf got 3 in line (1 trad wife, 1 rich girl type, and 1 daughter/cat type) by the end of the recent chapter (27), and possibly another one after stage 2's arc is finished. And yet our chad right here, only focuses on IMPROVING his QOL by focusing on working on a shed that he built, then it's furnishing, then keeping foods stock in check, and finally to graduate with a diploma (also to make sure the daughter/cat type fed lol.)

And as another reminder, everything that we see/reads are from the POV of our MC's and anyone that is DIRECTLY in his proximity/involved in the arc, meaning, pretty much everyone OUTSIDE that circle still knows him by rumors' of him being this jerks and losers piece of noble. It's pretty funny to see the MC got misunderstanding piled up against him from time to time too kekw.

a year has passed and I gotta say that my first paragraph is starting to age like a cold milk being left out in the middle of a hot sunny park, the story started to feel rushed while the chapters are getting shorter and more abrupt in the way they end and sometimes it's not even a subtle cut that at least give that feeling of closure to a chapter, wish it was just my excitement masking the reading experience and not the Manhwa starting to lose its charm

You can see the lazy isekai writing right off the bat.
Surviving in the wild isnt that easy, even less without a community helping each other.

 

[OmnipotentCheese]

You have to read this on other sites to see all the chapters, but it's fantastic. An awesome read. 10/10

 

[nicepostinguwu]

Them not focusing on something relatively unimportant doesn’t mean it’s lazy writing. And he does have the support of a few people as well.
