Since I decided to drop all of the ongoing series that I thought would be better binged, I had some free time last week, and I’ve been exploring donghua lately, and decided to go back and watch the beginning of a series that’s currently on its seventh season - Quanzhi Fashi aka Full-time Magister aka Versatile Mage. And I liked it.
It’s pretty straightforward - magical academy and a student who’s derided as a loser but then reveals himself to actually be far and away the most powerful mage there. It’s sort of what Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei could’ve been if the MC was a genuinely nice guy instead of a tediously arrogant asshole. There weren’t any big surprises, but it was pleasant to watch him grow and improve, and there was enough background context to make it especially enjoyable when he inevitably curbstomped his unjustifiably arrogant rivals.
And there was a bit of a hint at some very dark background that I suspect is going to become much more important as the seasons go on.
