Seriously, the plot doesn’t start until the literal midpoint. And once it does, it doesn’t become all that more interesting, although it does focus up and drop most of the anime school life cliches, like boys ogling the girls during swim class. The actual plot basically boils down to convincing trouble students to study while navigating a host of incredibly unpleasant personalities. While that unpleasantness was intentional, it kept me from connecting with their plight—and an aloof main character didn’t help. And that’s to say nothing of how under-utilized the premise was. Class warfare based on class standing sounds like a fascinating premise for a series, but in book one, it only boiled down to studying more to be able to afford food. Not all that interesting. Baka and Test did it much better. Classroom of the Elite: Year 2 (Light Novel) Vol. 7". Seven Seas Entertainment . Retrieved April 8, 2023.

While I had some definite issues with this novel it ended up being surprisingly compelling all the same. It starts out seeming like an ordinary student life story at a prestigious school. However, there are hints here and there that something is off. It’s not until the middle of the book that the truth behind what’s going on at the school is revealed.

Even so I found myself curious to see what would happen next and how this misfit class would find its way to work together once the reality of the school set in.

In other words, if you’re placed in Class D, you’re basically treated like garbage. You’ll be more likely to be expelled over something frivolous. On top of this, your monthly allowance (for food, toiletries, etc.) will be smaller because it’s based on academic performance – not just your own but the entire class’ performance. I get that only the main characters deserve a cool appearance and personality, but I really find it preposterous that a teacher is dumber than a student (specifically the class C teacher).

Kōdo Ikusei Senior High School, a leading prestigious school with state-of-the-art facilities where nearly 100% of students go on to university or find employment. The students there have the freedom to wear any hairstyle and bring any personal effects they desire. Kōdo Ikusei is a paradise-like school, but the truth is that only the most superior of students receive favorable treatment. For one, it's generally just school life. They're in this government advanced school that nurtures students to support the country in the future. The school has a system that ranks students from class A-D and you get treated accordingly depending on class rank. Each class aims to be the top class for what? To get in any university and any job they want in the future. That goal is pretty boring considering the level of competition and capabilities of the students (since the top students know martial arts and all). Though it would be something if their goal is to be government spies, assassins and whatnot. Hodgkins, Crystalyn (May 1, 2017).

I really liked this premise because, as stated, I used to teach. Initially, the whole idea may seem a little ridiculous since high schools usually don’t expel students unless it’s something major. However, high school isn’t mandatory in Japan, so the concept is a little more plausible than if it took place elsewhere, such as the USA, where many states require students to attend until they are 18.

Set in the prestigious national high school "Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School" established by the Japanese government, the story around a class "Class A" that can advance almost 100% to the desired path after graduation.
