The Female Soldier Has Been Told to Infiltrate the Imperial Magic Academy

Razé was a cheat soldier at the age of 15, thanks to the memories of her previous life. One day, she was summoned by her superior – the devil Prime Minister and was ordered to go on a long-term solo mission. She was expecting a harsh mission, but… “I knew you are the right person for this, Lieutenant Colonel Razé Orphan. I want you to attend the Centrior Imperial Magic Academy starting from this spring.” “…..what?” Well, it seems that she has been appointed as the “bodyguard” for the prince and other noble’s kids. And so, she was enrolled to the school where the aristocratic-sama gathered. Although she was puzzled by the glittering school life, she was trying to live a life so as not to be bullied in the future. But it seems there was a secret that she didn’t know hidden in this world. “Hey!!!!!! No one told me that this is an otome game!!!!!” As a bodyguard, her life would be over if any of the noble kids got hurt. But then a young lady who claimed to be the ill-fated villainess came by. If the girl died, won’t she be dead too? Today, Razé will continue to watch over her school life (with her own life on the line).

## My Thoughts on The Female Soldier Has Been Told to Infiltrate the Imperial Magic Academy "The Female Soldier Has Been Told to Infiltrate the Imperial Magic Academy" is quite the mouthful, and my experience with the novel has been equally complex. It's a story that promises a fish-out-of-water scenario with a strong female lead, and while it delivers on some fronts, it stumbles in others. ### First Impressions Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A hardened soldier, reincarnated and sent to a magic academy? It screams potential for both action and comedy. However, I quickly realized that the execution might not live up to the initial hype. The early chapters felt a bit rushed, and I didn't quite get a good grasp of the MC and her situation. ### What Works Well The strongest aspect of this novel, in my opinion, is the main character, Raze. I appreciate that she remains a badass throughout the story. She doesn't suddenly become weak or dependent on a male lead, which is a refreshing change of pace in this genre. I also enjoyed the focus on friendships, which provided a wholesome dynamic and balanced out the more serious elements. The plot and side characters are good, and the beginning to the middle of the story is pretty entertaining with slice-of-life elements. ### Areas of Concern I do have some reservations. The ending felt rushed, with major plot points resolved too quickly. The setup of the otome game events is sudden and out of nowhere, and it feels like the author is thinking up the plot as they go, since it feels messy. The pacing of the ending was pretty hurried, and the ending was a bit disappointing. Many readers also feel that the author could have explored Raze's military past in more detail. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have expressed concerns about the romantic subplot involving Folia and her guardian, which they found unsettling. Others have noted that the supposed romance tag is misleading, as the main character doesn't end up in a clear relationship by the story's end. ### Final Verdict Overall, "The Female Soldier Has Been Told to Infiltrate the Imperial Magic Academy" is a decent, quick read, especially if you're looking for a story with a strong female lead and a focus on friendships. However, be prepared for a rushed ending and some underdeveloped aspects. I'd recommend it as a light read, but don't expect a deeply complex or groundbreaking narrative.
