The Academy’s Professor is Overpowered!

Hello everyone!

Thank you very much for reading APO to the end of the first volume. All of you are the real MVPs of this story. If not for you, it would have never found its footing. I cannot express with words how grateful I am for every one of your support.

With the end of the first volume, I thought now would be the best time to talk about the story.

As it was before, the story of APO is always going to be a character-centric, mostly a slice-of-life tale. But at its core, there are some questions that it presents. To achieve your goals and dreams, your ideals, one must frequently go against them. Is a victory achieved like that truly worth it? Is it even a victory? And is there no other way? These are the dilemmas that are present throughout the tale, but of course, most of it will always be about the effects of war and how it affects our dear professor and his students.

With the climax of the first volume, there must be some questions. I would address the most probable ones here.

What is with the sudden tone shift?

The story was always planned to be this way. But don't worry, this is always going to be going on as a parallel plot and most of the time will be spent in the classroom with a light-hearted, feel-good atmosphere.

What is the power system like?

The power system has been largely hinted at in the last few chapters, but the coming chapters will be diving deeper into them, especially from the view of the students. There must certainly have been ways to explore more of the power system while keeping with the characters and plot in the first volume, but I was not able to do so. For that, I sincerely apologize. I will do my best to develop my skills and bring you the best experience.

What is the world like?

The world-building has mostly trickled down through dialogues and some sentences, with the general view of it pretty clear. It is divided into two halves between the humans and the demons. We will go deeper into the finer workings of this as well in the coming chapters.

I would also like to address another thing.

The chapters in the first volume will be edited to make the prose tighter, but there will be no change in the update schedule. We'll still have new chapters everyday at 8:30 GMT!

Finally, I would like to make a request to all of you.

With the end of the first volume, I request that you drop a review or a rating on RoyalRoad or ScribbleHub. The reviews and ratings will mean a whole ton and will extremely help us with the exposure at this starting time for the story.

I hope you will consider it.

If there is anything about the story at all that any of you dislike or would like me to improve upon, please let me know. I will do my best to correct it. I wish to write a tale that everyone can read with a grin and remember with a smile.

I will do my best with each coming chapter to bring you an even better story.

Your support means the world to me.

Thank you very much.
