Academia of Steel and Spell
Argentum Academy, a prestigious military-style school located in a sprawling valley, renowned for training the elite in combat disciplines, including Mecha Armored Divisions, Martial Arts, and Magical Warfare.
Story Premise:
Argentum Academy is divided into four main divisions:
Mecha Armored Division (MAD): Students are trained to pilot advanced mechs.
Martial Arts Division (MARD): Students master hand-to-hand combat and martial arts.
Magical Warfare Division (MWD): Students specialize in magical combat and spellcasting.
Strategic Operations Division (SOD): Students focus on tactical planning and strategy.
As tensions rise between these divisions over resources, recognition, and influence, Ryker finds himself at odds with the MWD’s leader, the powerful and arrogant mage, Elara Vex. Ryker’s world takes a thrilling turn when he discovers the "Shadow Games," an underground tournament where students from different divisions compete in secret battles to test their skills and settle scores.
Plot:
Intrigued by the Shadow Games' potential to bridge the divisions, Ryker decides to participate. Alongside his childhood friend Lyra Flynn from MARD, his strategic partner Kaid Rylan from SOD, and the mysterious mage Zara Moonwhisper from MWD, Ryker navigates the complex web of alliances and rivalries within the academy. As the games progress, Ryker must confront Elara Vex, who becomes increasingly obsessed with defeating him.

I still have a lot to improve, but I have finally completed the 1st season of Academia of Stell and Spell, even if I had to change some parts of the story, from the original storyline and I think I did an excellent job. [img=recommend][img=strong]
Haven't quite read all of the chapters yet, but I am enjoying this so far! The Good: We have a unique story and world, and I personally love Mecha! The ensemble of characters is varied without everyone just being completely reliant on the MC. I am pleasantly surprised at how good the grammar is for a first novel. The Bad: Some chapters are completely in bold, others are not. We have a unique world with a lot of characters, but most of them are missing details, and so is the world. The plot feels rushed, and some of the character relationships are forced without any sort of history to back them up aside from the implied friendship of Ryker and Lyra. Basically, stating their teamwork would be unbeatable after assembling a team half a chapter ago is really hard to swallow. The Neutral: We're missing so many details, but this is your first novel and will be a good experience! Personally, I would like to see more of the world. What is the academy? What is the power source of magic? Why does everyone seem to know about the Shadow Games? I get that you have a story in your head and want to share it with others because you think they will enjoy it too. This is great! Just try and remember that we can only perceive what you show us. If you have the MC and his new teammates become best friends within half a chapter, it is possible, but show us. Lastly, the chapters get automatically numbered, so if the 1.5 chapter is like a glossary of sorts, put it in its own auxiliary volume and remove the chapter # from the titles so we don't keep reading things like "Chapter 14: Chapter 12: Tactical Training"
I'm quite the critical type so, pls support my book and give me honest opinions so that I can improve and you can have a more joyful reading. This is my first Novel, hope you'll like it.
