/lit/ - Literature

I am 22 chapters in. Prose is better than average, dialog is bad, story is quite boring, plot is nonsensical and does not follow any logic. It gets points for not having any woke shit.
I am not sure this is even fantasy. MC has no powers or magic, he does not want any powers, the academy he is going to prohibit any use of powers by students on academy grounds. It feels like it's some political drama with a few fantasy elements thrown in (like floating trains/ships), one of the worst issues is MC supposedly a very intelligent person and strong fighter (who had his entire family murdered) doesn't want to fight, doesn't want revenge, doesn't want magic, I am not sure what he wants or if he even has any motivations of his own. They should made his adoptive father a main character instead (a much more interesting character).
