This is a YA magical academy story that uses RPG progression. There are a couple side stories, with a different MC, that setup other storylines. But for the most part you follow the MC as he learns he's one of the few in his village to get a special power, the ability to see people and objects weight, and see him train it. There's a few small action scenes but a majority of the story is the MC and his friends in a magical academy taking mandatory training. There's a bit of world building that explains the RPG rules, sets up potential conflicts, explains the magic rules, and dungeoneering. But that's all.
The RPG stuff is consistent and the reader sees plenty of notifications. But there's no rank up of the MC or his friends, which was a bit disappointing since that means his powers don't evolve past the ability to see what something or someone weighs.
Overall, it's not a bad story there just wasn't much real progress, just general setup. On the whole it felt alot like a serial story that ends before much happens. Perhaps in books 2 more conflict happens.
Score: 7.1 out of 10
