If you need a chill fun show to pass time, this is it. It doesn't have any real depth or complexity, it's only supposed to be entartaining and give you that one crumb of dopamine in the moment. Contrary to other reviews I actually like the MC, he's made to be dense as a plot device/comedic gag, the joke is mostly "idk how strong I really am!!" so get ready to see it in every episode lol but it does make sense in the context, since he lived isolated from others and never mastered any high tier skills.
Now hold on, I'm not about to psychoanalyse this chara but stay with me, he's not retarded but autistic:
- Doesn't understand social cues/subtext/nuance
- Repetitive actions and one track-mind when he finds something interesting (the poison, the skills from each school)
- Did everything in a pattern and never changed his routine of training
- Doesn't understand hierarchy (he does know she's the daughter of the king! he just sees the king as a father figure to her and not as a higher standing person because people with autism usually see everyone as equals / don't understand authority that well unless exposed to it frequently)
- Draws his own straight-forward conclusions, because 'common sense' is not actually intuitive to everyone. If someone said 'this guy is hella strong, NO ONE can beat him' he'll take it literally, and because he knows he's only a low rank but still beats him - the logical conclusion is that the 'strong' guy went easy on him. It really makes sense imo and he's consistently written to act like this so I have no problems with the mc's personality.
