I know right, I've been studying an entire month for an exam.

Y-you studied...?

I don't intend to fail my drug test.

Imagine measuring all your hard work and learning progress in one event that lasts just a couple of hours. It doesn’t reflect the countless hours you spent studying, the late nights, the revisions, the growth, or the understanding you’ve built over time. One bad day can undermine months of consistent effort.

But you're neglecting the fact that tests teach us how to take tests.

Exams often test how well you can perform under pressure, not how deeply you’ve understood or applied what you've learned. In reality, learning should be about growth and curiosity, not memorization and time limits. It also doesn’t account for the fact that everyone learns differently.

Some people might excel in a high-pressure, time-bound scenario, while others might need more time to fully process and express their thoughts. When we reduce learning to a test score, we ignore the diverse ways in which people absorb, reflect, and apply knowledge.

The whole system is built on the idea that everything can be measured by one final product: the test. But what happens if that test isn’t the right measure? The system expects perfection in a single moment, when learning is anything but perfect.

It's like this giant, bloated machine that somehow convinced everyone that it knows how to measure human potential. It takes all the messiness, the complexity, the unique journeys we go through, and smashes it into a cookie-cutter mold where everyone is expected to fit.

Even the Litrpg systems make more sense than what we’re stuck with in the real world. At least in those systems, progress is clear, measurable, and tied to tangible actions.

In the real world we’re stuck in this absurdist version of an RPG where the only quest is to pass the exam and somehow, it feels like the system is rigged, giving you no respawns, no checkpoints, no opportunity to improve through real-time feedback.

Enough. No more caffeine for today.

I think many litrpgs miss the chance to capitalize on this, which is something many people feel very strongly.

And there is no such thing as 'enough caffeine'

And you're stuck with wicked lecturers who most times set extremely difficult questions so they can boast how hard it is to excel in their courses.

I had an instructor who failed everyone on the first exam and was proud of it. It was complete whiplash because she seemed like the sweetest and easiest going teacher and then BAM, everyone fails! That was the class that ended my perfect GPA. I worked my butt off to get a B.

At least your lecturers aren't wicked enough to lower your scores unless you pay for their "night lessons" that's not a lesson at all but them talking about random unrelated things like their pets.

My country's education systems sucks.

You will be surprised at how many people who paid a lot to get an education that will prepare them to escape and go abroad only to come back and work in retail or something.

Even a Filipino speaks better English.
