I Want to Be a Saint, But I Can Only Use Attack Magic! Volume 1
Why can’t my embarrassing past just disappear?!
“You’re always alone.” From the bottom of her heart, Yuffie Abisus desperately wants to be a saint for one reason only—so no one will ever say those aggravating words to her again. Fortunately for her, she’s been blessed with an extraordinary supply of mana despite being a commoner. Determined to succeed in her mission to become a saint and have everyone fawn over her, she enrolls in the Academy of Magic where she’s sure to free herself from her gloomy life. However, Yuffie has a secret. For whatever reason, she can only use attack magic, which itself falls strictly in the domain of men. Meaning she’s incapable of utilizing healing magic, women’s magic. Maybe that’s why she ends up being labeled a second-rate student and isolated from the rest of her cohort from day one.
So begins the tale of a girl who’s a smidge socially inept, disheartened by her struggle to make even a single friend, and once more mired in the drudgery of a loner life. A girl who, in spite of the challenges she faces, pushes herself ever onward to achieving her goal of sainthood!

Really scraped the bottom of the barrel for this one…I am trying to find new to me series that I’m going to fall in love with while I wait for the series I am reading to have the next volume come out already and this did not work for me.
I can’t STAND the MC h’s incredibly diffident shy behavior and mental self-flagellation and I don’t care if it’s part of the character growth arc, it’s too OTT.
DNF and deleted off of my eReader at 15%.
Debating if I want to give it a star rating or not, but I seriously did not like this one and since stars and reviews are ostensibly allowed to be subjective, I’m going to rate it.
1, incredibly did not work for me but if it works for you I’m happy for you, star.
