spoilers....also slight rant

MC is supposed to be a nameless mob character in the book he woke up in,
he is supposed to be plain-looking and super normal (which is unremarkable/forgettable by noble society) so he doesn't notice that people admire him (people find his aura/attitude very charming and sexy).
MC has normal magic powers but is very creative with it so is a skilled magic user but personally doesn't think he is that great. (It takes a lot of mana to create something out of nothing, so MC uses his breath- wind and alters it with magic when he casts spells).
ML OG looked down on MC cause he was the student fighting group's leader but he doesn't look strong/buff. ML is surprised and grateful that MC saved him after their time in the advance forest...
ML & Prince are friends & roommates- both are waiting/expecting to approach prince to get in his good graces, surprised & impressed MC doesn't .
ML is "observing" MC to see if he would be a good candidate to rope into being the prince's aide...
MC thinking he is a normie and forgetable had no such thought and was just trying to get by through his daily life- already has a general life plan:
inherit his father's title (only child) + marry his unofficial (only oral talks) younger female childhood friend
Anyway there is totally enough content for the 2nd story to get its own manga, or at least a few chapters... thy didn't even mention MC's unofficial fiancee nor how MC gets roped into the drama with the prince's love life w/ OG MC & prince's villainous fiancee
I MTL it............
I hope your 18+ since I read it on 18+ syosetu ......

Super cute, but these feel even more rushed than the otome anthology somehow, especially the second one.
