To sum it up: unlikable MC (for me, at least); inexplicable/non-existent character developments; unexplained (and meaningless) love affairs; unnecessary spoilers by the author; bad structuring. If you want to turn off your brain and just read something, go ahead -- but don't expect too much if you want to be critical.
There are a bunch of reviews citing the pros, so I'll stick to the cons. Be my guests to skip my rantings altogether.
First and foremost: the MC is a lazy noble who, as the story tells us, spends most of his time and money prior to it in whore houses and pubs. He is spineless, non-committal, disregarding of authority and his professors, but is somehow a student in one of the kingdom's top academies. He sleeps through his classes, disdains his peers who put in the effort, and barely pays any attention to anything magic-related, aside from one book: the ~mysterious~ tome of time and space, which, despite never studying or bothering to read, he masters at a surprising pace, outdoing even his professor.
Second: I'll do my best not to spoil anything, but, in the span of 20 "double-chapters" (11-1, 11-2, etc.), MC has found the love of his life. He nearly died indirectly from it a few times, and there were no steps to it; it just went from 0 to 100 before anything at all happened. Plot is also convoluted as all hell. There are glimpses to some conspiracy, but I'll be damned if I'm going back to check the chapters for every meaningless name that appears mentioned to the side when the only plot was the MC's love life, and a bunch of fillers.
Third: the author just loves giving "glimpses" of the future when writing, such as "this would be talked about for generations to come", or "little did he know, but he would learn this the hard way". And he also happened to spoil the tournament arc when it was halfway. Thank you, author. We all love spoilers.
Fourth: as an added bonus, try not to think any science when the author explains magic. Are there similarities? Yes, but only in the way that a child thinks science happens.
Fifth: author can't keep track of what they write. There are many, many instances of sentences repeating in the same paragraph, but with the words being switched around. There is another problem, but I don't know whether to attribute it to the author or to the translating/editing team: redundancy. "He wasn't still yet ready" is just one example, but there are many others.
