I only read the first chapter, but it was already enough to show me that this will be a garbage story.
Not even half the chapter in, you already have lot of panel dedicated to emphasize her breast, done so badly that some panel literally cut everything of her except her breast. It did not stop there, a few panels later he start kissing her to fix her headache...
I feel like the author is trying to make the story slightly different from the generic story of this genre, but it was done badly.
The party kicked him out to protect him since they care for him, and do not want to see him die, which is fine, but the way they kicked him out of the party was really bad.
Still, that's not what made the story bad, what made the story bad for me, was when the MC opened the door to the girl room. Why do japanese like to add that kind of crap in their stories so often. it is forcing misunderstanding in the story, in a really stupid way.
Its one of those stories where they make the Mc naive obsessive childish sensetive lil kid and then authors tries as much as possible to wrong the Mc through misunderstanding and lack of communication till he becomes the Badguy . And when comes back the truth will be revealed and the Mc will feel even more like sht.
The real Villian in this story is 100% Authors. They purposely made Mc look bad and even made him like a creep who conatanlty follow female lead inhealthy amount to make the Mc itself a problematic creep.
Whats even more concerning is how author is purposly shiping the Old guy to Female lead.
Poor classic Mc is literally made to be unlikable
Most peoples will probably disagree with me, but the way it was done in this story was more like a fanservice than anything else, and it didn't fit the the tone of the story until now.
The story until now we pretty dark, serious and somewhat realistic, but the way the women empowerment was presented was completely different from that, it seemed out of some kind of hero movies. The women were acting like they were playing around, some of the weapons they are using are impossible for anyone to use normally during combat, without mentioning where the heck did those weapons come from?. The men all looked pathetic which in a way break the character of the archduke until now. Sure the story won't make it seem that way, but what kind of archduke would trust his life with such pathetic men?
Anyway, while I think it was ok to go for women empowerment I think it should have been done in a way that fit the story and not like it was out of some heroes movie, while also making everything else look pathetic to make them seem even better, I will be really disappointed if this is the direction this story is heading toward in the future.
Another story were the MC get OP power with no effort whatsoever.
