    Most I've read are just disappointing tbh. Even my favorite LN, Mushoku Tensei, had a disappointing school arc.The most in-depth I've read is in an LN is MKnR but that one's basically set in a school and it kinda gets boring after awhile. I'm mostly looking for novels, but if there's a really good manga I'll bite. My favorite manga of this category is Mx0.

    all 3 Douluo Dalu series has a pretty good school Ark. at least for me they always show you what the teacher teaches and not just meaningless competition.

    I dont like school arcs. Sometimes they are just fillers with no depth at all.
    World Teacher school arc seems good and Knights and Magic.

    Well, if you don't mind it being a short arc that revolves around two important side characters, the magic University arc of The Wandering Inn is excellent.

    And if we aren't limiting it to webnovels/light novels, then the best is probably the magic university arc at Brakebills from The Magicians.

    I've got alot of chapters to catchup to in this one. Is this one of the recent chapters? Or one of the side stories? I'm considering coming back to this one, but all the side-stories are distracting.

    Also thanks for the recommendations so far!

    Warlock of the Magus World is a must read, though its a school of dark magic with a protagonist of dubious moral inclinations, so... yeah...

    The school arc is most of the beginning up till he first runs away. It includes classes, teachers, competitions, extracurricular travel, etc... A bit condensed though.

    The rest has no relation to a magic school, but the advancement paths are definitely entertaining, even if you come to half-hate the anti-villain protagonist.

    The only one i can think of that did it well is a Manga/Anime Magi
    i enjoyed that one. Could have been handled better but was a good school arc.

    How about checking out Unique Legend? It’s like a very weird version of Hogwarts filled with stomping classrooms, bizarre curriculums, and strange students. MC came from a normal way of living, who unknowingly have a mysterious family lineage background, so his perspective were hilarious to read at every circumstances he faced in that school. I also read Library of Heaven’s Path; the MC transmigrated to a teacher’s body while he obtained an OP cheat, a library inside his head which shows the flaw of everything he touched, giving him a chance to posture, scam anyone or face-slap them, It’s really entertaining.
    Hope these help a bit. :blobowoevil:
