I d this one more in the anime. But quite a fast read nonetheless. Interesting to see all the ally ships building.

But the measurement competition in the middle.... What was that4 s Da192 10

It's not bad bad but somehow it feels more a side story than an actual main story arc. everything happen seems had nothing to do with the main character, which actually okay, sometimes a series need something this to develop other characters, too. But this one is pretty boring and somewhat pointless.4 s Rusty Grey143 1 follower

After 7 and 7.5 there was a high bar to reach and frankly volume 8 didn't come close. Especially since the real meat of the story is in the last 100 (or fewer) pages. Not to mention the totally inexplicable episode in the middle of it all. On the whole I was just a bit disappointed in this book.

I am sitting here wondering why I didn't rate it lower -- and it's because I still love the series, and because I can see it setting things up for a larger story than the single volume plot. I just checked out book 9 from my local library so I'll be reading it sooner rather than later.

"You don't even need me to answer, do you? I won't let you get expelled. No matter what methods I have to use."

Nagumo plays dirty. He's clever and sneaky a rat, but that's actually why I his character. Other than Ayanokouji, the other characters aren't very deceptive. I guess you can argue that Kouenji is also that way, but he's a bit of an oddball. He honestly does have his own agenda.

That one scene with the guys in the shower/bath was weird and unnecessary. It honestly felt out of place.

I did enjoy getting to know Keisei a little more and it was nice to know more about Nagumo too. I'm pleased that he does live up to his reputation.

Admittedly, I was disappointed that Kanzaki from Class B wasn't in Ayanokouji's group. I feel Kanzaki is similar to Ayanokouji, but obviously not as intelligent. I don't think anyone so far has bested Ayanokouji yet. Maybe Nagumo will.This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.Show full review2 s Cloe_ktz18

This is the 8th novel of the you-jitsu series and while it did have many exciting parts the story as a whole was kind of lackluster compared to the other novels. In this novel Ayanokoji and his friends got put in a different school to sleep in, kind of an exam. They made different groups with all the students and tried to compete in events relay or presentations. Ayanokojis group was able to do pretty well and they got pretty close as a result. Ayanokoji also got to learn a bit more about the new student council president and more people also started to learn about him. Overall, it was a pretty boring arc but its a good series.2020-semester-11 Reza89 13

The whole training exam seems stretched out and the ultimate outcome was not that impactful as well. It did not change the progress or put any proper characters in danger as well. In reality the whole exam seemed irrelevant with any major character development or change. This edition did not add any value to the contents and one can easily skip this one without any issue whatsoever.1 Matthew4

Probably the weakest exam so far in the story. That’s not necessarily an insult as the story overall is still fairly engaging. But it’s clear Kinugasa is trying to figure how to move the story now that Ryuuen isn’t a key player and how to make Manabu fill those shoes.

The issues is that Manabu while clearly cunning hasn’t shown to be a strong character yet. Despite a large portion of this story focusing on him. He largely comes off as a jerk with no clear motivations for his actions. I couldn’t help but see him as a clown when he started blatantly laughing about Tachibana being expelled.

The rules and expectations set up at the beginning of the novel certainly held a lot of potential. The possiblity of someone being expelled was a certainly an exciting premise. Not to mention the large plays the classes could make to essentially rise to class A if they played their cards right. But in the end no large moves were really made.

The story focused mainly on a group of students that offered nothing interesting to the story, boring activities, and an underwhelming twist. Making the whole arc feel largely meaningless besides Horikita’s class losing their position. A class we hardly engage with in the story anyway.

Overall, the heart is there but the execution could’ve been much stronger. Here’s hoping Kinugasa takes some larger risks moving forward.

Okay, this is a WEIRD one. After the Sports Festival and the abdication of Council President of Horikita's brother, we've got a semi-big bad start up in this with Nagumo (and I hate him) who is sort of a semi-retarded Light Yagami if I were to give him a term.

The volume involves a winter excursion to a school camping trip, where the men and women will be split apart and tested on various things together from academics to endurance. For the first time we get a hint at the intelligence and physical skill of a resident crazy blond Adonis Koenji and he is a guy who measures up to Ayanokoji in more than one way. (ba-dum tiss!)

To be clear as well, the continued development relationship and cute banter between Kei and Kiyotaka is adorable in this especially seeing as they can barely be around each other as guys and girls can only interact at meal times. It feels as if its superfluous but when looking at a building conflict for what comes in year 2, it's groundwork being set for someone and I love that.

Even though this volume meanders quite a bit and ultimately doesn't achieve much, it's still Classroom of the Elite. I'd read 500 pages of Kiyotaka pondering his way through math homework with pleasure.

Nagumo isn't quite the villain that Ryuuen was for me at this point. It's going to be hard to top that fight in Volume Seven, but Ryuuen was also built up since the Island Exam. The bar for Nagumo is high.

Although I do enjoy the female characters quite a bit in this series, it was endearing to see all the boys together. The fact that this light novel has an actual dick measuring contest, complete with dramatic twists, further cements this as right up my alley. Kiyotaka is even an unreliable narrator when it comes to his own penis, and you just don't see that in many stories.

A rare point off a COTE volume from me for the ending basically being Ayanokoji saying "I told you so" to Kei. Pointless. jarne25 1 follower

A very interesting volume, to say the least. A number of silly things happened, the whole measuring contest for example. On the other hand, a more serious theme throughout was the introduction of Nagumo's methods. It seems he is shaping up to be a kind of "super villain" for Ayanokoji to take down. Koenji also got some more spotlight, and he is definitely an interesting force as well. The fall of Ichinose is also starting to be set in motion, which will probably be a big theme in the upcoming volumes too. I how Ayanokoji's group in this exam started out as a bunch of combined wild idiots, but ended up as a unit. It was heartwarming when they were finally nice to each other. Even Koenji ended up co-operating in the end. Donte McNealAuthor 1 book10

Crazy test

It’s been a while since I’ve read a COTE book, so I was a little overwhelmed with all the names. But, it quickly became riding a bike. I missed these too smart for their own good high schoolers and this exam pushed them never before. Well, not all of them.

We get to learn more about so,e of the students in higher grades than our newly minted Class C, and man are there some threats to look out for. Our very own T-Rex, Kiyotaka seems to be on top of things, but you never really know what’s going to happen at this school. I’m looking forward to picking up the next volume! Durian Jaykin79

I how the ratings are so low. Because I think I otherwise. The concept of this test was very interesting. In a meritocratic society where we strive to compete with one another from young to stand out, we are then also expected to cooperate with our fellow competitors. Even in the workplace, we compete with others for promotions, yet at the same time we have to cooperate with them.

Many of the characters will go wtf, thats illogical, how to cooperate with your competitor. Its this absurdity that this novel constantly portrays, and best portrays here. The Real Gio86 1 follower

Volume carino che fa vedere tutta la genialità del nuovo presidente del concilio studentesco. Sicuramente meno interessante dei precedenti, ma considerato il livello di questi ultimi era difficile far meglio. La possibilità di rivedere Ryuuen tentare qualcosa gasa molto. Kouenji sicuramente personaggio più interessante da seguire nel volume. Megane Shiroe9

This book did not focus on the main characters but introduced and grew the new enemies our boy Kiyotaka might face in the future.
It's a quicker read than the previous ones for me, but as entertaining as them. One thing I know is as the story progresses more character development will happen and more strategic fights are going to come. Barrett135

The game ends shortly without showing much tactical shots. I'd expect to see Kiyotaka flame up some tricks to make a joke out of Nagumo, but it seems this moment is too soon. Anyway, can't wait to see Nagumo crash and burn. Sparsh Singh1 review

For the people who are saying that the vol was useless, it wasnt. It is important because it gives character developement to Nagumo while telling us his modus oprandi. Thats pretty important according to my veiws. evy43

this volume was the least exciting one yet or maybe that's just because i'm too used to these having a lot of twists and turns that it seemed a little stretched out but overall, it wasn't that bad. i kinda expected nagumo to go down in this one but then again, he's a new character so yeah. kii269

holyshit????? another one of my fave novels tbh because I getting to know the second years’ and third years’ internal affairs. first years are interesting but manabu vs. nagumo??? damn. also side note: i love tachibana pls she is a cinnamon roll.light-novels Gueelia4

I thought it was interesting and kind of fun but the plot really didn’t move that much furthur considering that the main focus of this book was laid upon the side characters that before this volume were not that heavily significant in terms of affecting the main character directly.
