why not both?
YuriThey are overused for a reason! What are your favorite overused tropes and if possible why? Personally I like systems if its not just the protag that gets it because it lets us keep track of what exactly each character can do and some of my favorite novels make good use of the idea of the origin of the system and figuring out its true purpose and stuff. Additionally, I like academies because it gives a good place for the mc to interact with a bunch of people and its easy to put info dumps without breaking the immersion.
