Most romantic academy books seem to be YA or focus on bully romance/harem/reverse-harem. I love academy concept since I've read Harry Potter as a kid, but I just can't get into those tropes.
That's why I hated Zodiac Academy because MCs were getting it on with men who were treating them horribly.
Fourth Wing was a little bit closer to what I'm looking for, but the amount of plot holes and overall silliness of it, made it hard for me to get into and I didn't continue the series after the first book.
So, I guess I'm looking for academy books similar to the Fourth Wing but more serious/fleshed out, no bully romance, no why choose.

I really enjoyed {An Academy for Liars}, and I also recommend {The Whispering Dark} and the first book of {The Atlas Six}.
If you’re ok with a lot less romance, I also recommend {Ninth House} but look up trigger warnings, and {The Will of the Many}
