Synopsis
Neil Harlan survives the cutthroat Akuto Academy by posing as a fragile, low-tier janitor with a broken Dantian. In reality, he possesses a powerful Mastermind Core and uses his invisibility to secretly heal his meridians. However, his facade draws the dangerous attention of the school's most unstable and possessive elites. This novel reads like a blend of the hidden expert trope found in titles like Classroom of the Elite, mixed with the high-tension obsession typical of yandere-themed visual novels. It is designed for readers who enjoy power fantasies where the protagonist manipulates events from the shadows and enjoys the thrill of predatory romance. Those seeking wholesome relationships or a traditional hero's journey should skip it. The pacing is driven by escalating psychological tension, with a standout focus on the precarious balance between Neil's secret identity and the homicidal tendencies of his admirers.

Editorial Review
The narrative effectively leverages the hidden power trope to create immediate tension between the protagonist and his predatory environment. The character archetypes are sharply defined, providing a strong hook for those who enjoy the psychological push-and-pull of obsessive relationships. However, with only 59 chapters currently available, the story is still in its infancy. There is a significant risk that the plot could become repetitive if the author relies too heavily on the cycle of near-exposure without evolving the broader world-building or the protagonist's long-term objectives. While the setup is promising, the longevity of the tension depends on how the Mastermind aspect of the core is actually utilized beyond simple evasion. It is a solid start that successfully establishes its atmosphere, but it requires more narrative development to move beyond its initial genre conventions.
