This line brings in the basic question of: "why is this happening like it does on Earth?" and, at the same time, it also excuses all sorts of nonsense with "because magic." I don't think the latter is a terrible idea as long as the author is capable of pulling it off. It needs to be consistent and "a new revelation" of the world's rules should never contradict what happened before.
That aside, so far, this is just Retsu Kaioh's isekai, but worse. Go read that.
This entire chain of comments started here:

Clearly, this is not true. What "shortcuts" does math have for anyone to use? Math is not a spectator sport. You're not just going to watch math happened and learn math. You gotta implement it; practice it; understand it.
If anything, the opposite applies; especially history. History is 99% "just memorize stuff." To learn about a historical event, you just memorize information about it. If you just memorize:
who was involved
what happened
when it happened
where it happened
why it happened
potentially, the results/outcomes
and BAM! You've learned history!
Importantly: this does not apply to math whatsoever. You don't see a formula like Pythagoras's Theorem and just memorize it and you're done. Once you put your pencil to paper and apply it, then you're starting to learn it. "Oh, I memorized that a squared plus b squared is c squared, so I'm good to go." No. You are not good to go.
For the record, Pythagoras came up with the "Pythagorean Theorem." Calling it Pythagoras's Theorem is technically accurate.
"You're sticking to this one detail." I started with this one detail. Look at my original comment! It is a screenshot of this specific detail. This is the topic you walked into and I don't intend to change it for suite your needs.
It isn't about validation. It's about accuracy. Math is not "just memorize formulas." If you disagree, then, once more I ask you: to provide a specific counterexample.
And, if you claim that "it's just memorization on how to solve 3x+1=10" -> then you and I have a massively different understanding of what it means to "memorize" something.

Taking your knowledge from solving 3x+1=10 -> and applying it directly to something like 5-x/2=-3 will only lead to disaster. You need to understand what's going on and how to apply it. This doesn't count as "just memorize formulas." I'm using this quote because where I started this topic with the screenshot.
Again, other than the times tables,
which may or may not the square root table - I'd say it does
what pure raw "just memorize formulas" exists before geometry?
Sure, you'll probably be taught some basics of shapes, like the formula for the circumference of a circle but usually, at low levels you don't need to memorize it unless you're in some honor program (they'll give you a formula sheet).
Spoilers:
If you're wondering, "Don't hold out on me! What's it do!?" Simply put:
I yolo'd one try to get to 71 and decided to stop there. That'll do.

25 years for an EX rank ability.
Just how absurdly strong is an EX rank ability? I feel like his mastery over it isn't particularly high.
No, I'm dropping hints based on the novel. I haven't been reading it. :X
Seriously, don't read it. I dunno why the other dude gave it a 3/5.
Ya know, I read this when it was still updating, so I got some old thoughts that popped up when I saw it. For one, Mr. Main Character is an idiot. For two, he's designed to be really generic. Like "a product of his time" sort of generic. "He's stubborn enough to stand up when anyone else would collapse" kind of generic. That's not really enough to matter in the actual plot of this manhwa though, so he gets direct plot armor too -> doesn't win anyway. lol. He just survives and enters the fancy school to get stronger.
This is where shenanigans are supposed to ensue for Mr. Main Character to power gain but that would be too interesting. Let's just have some distractions instead. Look! These guys are fighting! Woah! ... uh, oh look! These guys are fighting! Woah! ... uh... oh look there! These gu- you get my point.
The last two chapters go off the rails. Completely off the rails. It's like a six-lane pile up so an explosive finale can happen despite the fact that it makes no sense. One character just pops off and kills like 99% of the school. No. I'm not joking. Also, Mr. Main Character is also suddenly a million times stronger than he was before and when they're about to clash, it just ends. You can tell that the author was mad!
It's not excellent. Metal Gear Rising's ending "going off the rails" is excellent; if you review the details, you can see it coming. This manhwa's ending is just stupid. In fact, it is straight up contradictory - which is pointed out by one of the character. Sadly, for his sin of pointing out the obvious, the author kills him off in the stupidest way possible.
Don't waste your time.
To be clear, I read this ages ago! It isn't worth reading and it was axed too.
Mr. Main Character is a stubborn mule and a decent person. That's like 99% of the plot right there. This donkey gets caught up in business that's beyond him - like, in a supernatural way. Instead of dying and us moving onto another manga, a girl pops up, swings a zweihänder and doesn't kill the person she hits and claims that she is his fiancé. Good for you, Mr. Main Character. Oh wait, he's reacting like a really generic anime protagonist. Booo. The entire romance aspect is just comedy, not romance. Boooooooooo.
Seriously though, her big sword is probably as sharp as this manga is; that is to say she, and the entire plot, are really stupid. lol
Then things build up with stupid jerks being stupid jerks and goodie-two-shoes saying "no" to the stupid jerks being stupid jerks. Instead of anyone with authority going "hey uh, stupid jerks? I get that's all you're good at, but that's not allowed, so go learn to do something else" -> it's decided "hey, let's settle it with a fight!" Then it escalated to "let's make it a tournament!" Then it ends.
The entire runtime is just "intro" -> "build up up for a tournament" -> end. To be clear, the tournament doesn't happen.
Don't waste your time.
What is this about? Mr. Main Character has "fancy powers." In reality, he has photographic memory and literally cannot forget anything. Good for him. Keep him away from any war documentaries.
Despite being a full fledged "I'm 15 but I have a full career" thing going on, he's going to school like a normal person. Shenanigans don't really ensue. Instead, some characters huff carbon monoxide instead of air -> and do really stupid things -> so he can save them. The highlight is when a spunky girl who could spunk her way out of her current problem -> but decides to break down instead. Here comes Mr. Main Character with a pep talk and oh look! She regains her spunky nature and spunks her way out of the problem. That's five minutes of my life I'm never getting back.
Note: "spunky" and "spunk" means "spirited." I used it in a technically incorrect way, mostly as a stupid as a pun, because I can.
Was this axed? Can you axe something that simply has nothing going for it? It teeters towards the "lonely loser" genre where it's a manga about "having friends." Good for you, Mr. Main Character.
It's really short but I also don't really recommend it anyway.
If you're a lonely loser who dreams to have friends, then go outside maybe? "Level up" your communication SKILLS and learn to get along with others. Reading this, or anything like this, isn't going to help you.
What do I remember? Mr. Main Character is a non-existent guy with one personality trait: "he's a nice person." A complete flatline of a character. Meanwhile, all the interest is on Ms. Main Character who was raised by three master martial artists who trained her - and to survive, she develops three personalities which also - somehow - change her appearance too; one of them changes her body size for crying out loud.
One of her dads, that taught her karate, literally goes around challenging people to fights. He walks into some gang's office and the head of the gang was looking at an email featuring info about the dad - saying "if you meet him, abandon all hope." The head of the gang just answers his questions and the dad leaves. The subordinates were confused as to why they were told not to attack.
Why am I yapping about him? Well, I remember the final arc where
I don't remember much. I remember that if another personality takes over, she doesn't remember what happened. At one point, the question of "What does he do with my other personalities without my knowledge?" pops up -> with the assumption that they're "doing naughty things" -> and this being a comedy work -> something immediately happens to prove it despite it being completely irrelevant to him. What happens is that one of her alt personalities takes over, fights - I forget who -> gets her clothes ruined in the fight -> but she's wearing a coat, so she closes the coat and meets up with him -> reverts back -> and you can figure out what happens from there.
Do I recommend it? I dunno.
I don't wanna reread it because from what I remember, it's a manga with a half-baked plot with horny bait. No hyperbole, I probably read this around 15 years ago when I was the target audience. I don't like this sort of fanservice anymore and I generally avoid stuff like this.
This review's details is based on what I remember after all this time, so take it with a grain of salt.
So, what is this about? A doormat Mr. Main Character who is poor -> but look! A nearby high school called "Wild's High" is deciding to go co-ed for the first time! Rich people only... oh...
The Plot: "but wait! Here's a scholarship! Now go! Experience the dream of being surrounded by girls who haven't had class with a dude for their entire school life!"
Mr. Main Character: "but I have no spine, no character, and really only care about my siblings."
The Plot: "Ugh, you're imposs- er, I mean! New assignment for all the girls: get along with the new boys at the school! Don't mind the fact that there is literally ONE boy and he's kinda getting monopolized by the girl main characters!"
Mr. Main Character: "I'm so poor! T_T"
The Plot: "Okay, shut up. Look, see that bully? He's gonna make your life miserable."
Mr. Main Character: "oh no! T_T"
The Plot: "The girls will see you being pathetic and instead of just moving onto pastures new, they'll fall for you in stupid and unexplainable ways. They'll help train you so you can beat the bully!"
The Plot: "Also, since they're so stupid, they have very little character so they can match the fact that you're a nothing character."
The Plot: "Except for one girl, who is amazing but too good for you, so you won't get to be with her."
The Plot: "Uh, you still there? No? Uhhh... oh no! Look! This girl got some pictures taken when she was in the bathroom! Tournament to get the pictures back! ... this is boring actually, so they just left and the pictures "leaked" - not that they were inappropriate in the first place so "they only boosted her popularity" <- the actual line (I think)."
Me: "What was the point of that entire arc?"
The Plot: "How did you get into my house! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! End the manhwa!"
No, I don't remember the actual fighting sequences, but if you want awesome fighting sequences, then go read "Ghost King" instead. A character legit pulls off the Mikiri Counter from Sekiro in that manhwa.
In short: don't recommend.
All conversations I remember about this manhwa was how people liked Dal Dal specifically but that was it. Honestly, even if he ended up with her, I still wouldn't recommend it.
I don't know how I randomly stumbled across this specific manhwa, but since I'm here, may as well!
To add: there's no contrarian to waltz in, say they "Hey! I didn't waltz! I did the tango!" and insult the manhwa. lol
Onto the reading list you go.
I'll do my usual thing and give my thoughts after I read it. When will I read it? Honestly? I dunno. I have 33 completed works in my reading list, including this one. I don't have any order to read them; I just like to focus on one at a time then I pick a random one that seems good and read that. The comments praising this manhwa will certainly come to mind when the time comes.
How does memorizing any particular formula help you solve something like 3x + 1 = 10 exactly? You need to understand and memorize the rules on how to solve this. You cannot get away by just memorizing this specific question and its answer of x = 3 because there are a near infinite amount of these types of questions.
That's algebra and pre-algebra.
So I ask once more: enlighten me. And be specific?
(Again, I know that you gotta get your times tables down and all that; seeing 7 times 8 should immediately have you see/think "56.")
