It starts out okay with an intresting premise but it’s ruined by the nationalism. I’m guessing the author got in trouble for not having enough nationalism so he went overboard. A character who is a foreigner is suddenly stated to have seven-eigths bloodline from the nine provinces (China) out of nowhere. Im guessing this might be because having a genius not from China is a big no-no. It later states this is why the headmaster accepted him as a student and he wouldn’t have otherwise. The main charcter’s feats are repeatedly stated to show how glorious they were with 5000 years of history. This is mentioned so many times I usually just skim a few paragraphs when it comes up. The patriotism would be fine if it weren’t for the author degrading other countries to make China seem superior.
