I'm looking for the whole "Magic Academy" type of novel. A book like "Mother of Learning" or "The Time Mage". I know a lot of magic academy books that grow out of it quickly and the academy becomes a scarcity, so I want one that stays within the academy and is a more laid back, slice of life feel. Hopefully one that actually focuses on learning magic, throughout a long amount of time, rather than it just being a setting to put characters in. Also i'm fine with any type of webnovel, original language doesn't matter. EDIT: Sorry for those who already sent recommendations, but I should probably mention, that im not looking for series with Ecchi or harem related novels. Im looking for novels that focus primarily on learning magic and character development, while action and romance is put a bit on the back-burner. Thanks for those who already sent novels tho!
there's quite a lot, especially Japanese LN: Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou Zero no Tsukaima Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan Gakuen Toshi Asterisk Division Maneuver Infinite Stratos there's probably more that I forgot to mention. though most of above (specifically the last four) is less magic and more weapons. Original english webnovel: Supreme Magus Hidden World oh yeah I forgot to mention Kaettekitemo Fantasy. it's a JP webnovel. although the translation is slow. just so you know, those novels above are not slice of life.
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/crossing-to-the-future-its-not-easy-to-be-a-man/ It's translated by Webnovel, so there's paywall.
Ik theres quite a few but a lot don't have that laid-back slice of life feel, also lots have really inconsistent translations. Zero no Tsukaima, to cliche like and breaks away from learning at the academy. Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan has similar issues, as they don't really learn much from the academy/classes themselves. The other JP ones also have a similar problem of not really being laid-back. Supreme Magus seems interesting and I can't find Hidden World anyone, can you send a link? Al in all, thnx
