Is it informal?

Hi! Is saying "I was a much risk-taker when I was a child than I am now" informal as to be used in an academic writing ?(talking about the article "a" before the determiner 'much')
Thank you in advance.

This is not correct. It seems that you mean: I was a much bigger risk-taker when I was a child than I am now. This is correct at any level of formality.
