I could agree with you but that would be kinda like judging the book by its cover...you can't just give up on the sequel that fast. If you read most of the chapters you will be glad to know that Negi will be revived somewhere in the future.
I actually wasn't going to be interested in the sequel as well but once this chapter got posted I'm going to stick with it.
