Hey- This is my first review, so I apologise if this is a bit of a mess, I received this via the Community Copies- and I am enamoured with this work, Its a solid intro to your work. With that out of the way
Right out the gate: I Love how evocative and interesting the prompts are in this collection. I especially adore how it tackles the archetypical monsters. With particular standouts to me in the Monster Archtypes of the "Dungeon Beast", which has a strong current of meditative self examination, while also having the usual brutality of a "Monster", the chaotically militant vibe of the "Goblin King" Archtype, and the rigorously philosophical bent of the "Hoardkeeper Wyrm". On top of the Fun of the Student Archtypes, With my favorites of the "Student" category being the abstract and esoteric Creative, the artistic and brooding Goth, and intriguing and watchful Social Butterfly.
I'm also very fond of how the "Coursework" actually feels like coursework, without being a soul-sucking slog like in IRL! It has a fair blend of artistic and writing work. Which is a biggg plus in my book!
The formatting is rather solid all-in-all, with a few hiccups. For example, on page 18 of the Blood Baron, the year is incorrectly labeled as "Freshman Year" instead of "Senior Year". or pages 40, 44, and 46(Hordekeeper) Had the text overlap with the Icon for Hordekeeper, and since they both share the same color, the text blends into the Icon.
However, for as much as I adore this, I did have one major issue.
The fonts used for the Archtypes for the Blood Baron, the Lich Lord, and the Masked Trickster were rather hard for me to read. Which is a shame, because those fonts capture the visual mood/tone of their respective Archtype well, at the cost of legibility, and I'm not so well versed on the issue of fonts, else I'd suggest some that could both preserve the feeling these fonts play into, while also being readable.
(Though Upon further review. I noticed that the font for the Hoardkeeper is different in my copy, compared to the preview image of said Archtype. I can't tell if that's my PDF reader(Adobe Acrobat) acting up- or a last minute change- If it's Acrobat's fault, that would explain why the copyright symbol appears in place of any apostrophe.)
All in all. On a scale of 1 to 10? I find "Boss Monster Academy" to be a very solid 9/10. It has some interesting takes on what being a Boss Monster means, and it's not afraid to play around with its Highschool movie-like setting, providing all sorts of fun prompts that can even get the world-building gears turning away in one's own head. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone intreagued by its setting.
And a hearty Thank you, to Sylvie the Dragon Games for making such a delightful experience. and Shout out to Mint-Rabbit for having this in her "Solitary Adventures" collection
