Subpar power fantasy with flat characters and clich scenarios leading to an overall mid cookie cutter experience. The story is poorly executed and the scenes are sloppily designed only to push forth a plot full of holes a person with any brain will notice that many scenes make no logical sense and are simply convenient for the main character to progress forward. This show is only worth watching in the background to waste time and not worth your attention. From the start the general art style and presentation is only okay but gets worse from there. Scenes feel empty as they seem to be designed to only prop up whatever character is talking and many events dont make much logical sense. For example the stereotypical scene of a villager accidentally bumping into a corrupt knight walking down a giant street makes little sense to me when the camera pans out and shows how there is an enormous amount of space between the crowd and the small single file line of 3 knights. The villager is chasing a ball and is willing to run a large distance just to collect it from the floor while bothering a knight they know to be evil and can kill them indiscriminately why doesnt the villager just ignore the ball and stay in the crowd? Why risk angering a higher power for a simple ball/fruit? Lets not even get into the fact that the MC is supposed to be a no skill commoner in the eyes of the Holy Knights but they charge him with taking their position to guard the castle. In what world does it make sense for powerful guards to outsource their guard duty to a powerless villager? In any sane world they would be fired for negligence of duty better yet if anyone tried to barge into the castle to kill the king they would be able to do it with minimal effort because it seems like there are no other guards other than the one MC watching the entrance. Oh and the female love interest in the story seems to be hell bent obsessed to do anything for the MC. She seems to have nothing better to do in life except support the MC and shows exceptional favor with no logical reason. There seems to be some backstory where she helped him out of pity and follows up with him but what makes the MC so special when there seem to be hundreds of abused villagers in the same town? She is supposedly one of 5 noble family knights supporting the kingdom and part of the Holy Knights but always seems to have time to focus on the MC. There is even a scene where she brings the MC who is supposedly a normal house servant with her to run an errand where they meet her mother and the mother seems fine with there being something between them. I honestly dont understand in what world a nobles parents are fine with them being with a random commoner no questions asked. But hey this is the authors projected power fantasy where the world revolves around him to each their own. The story is full of holes built around nothing but convenience and any character that isnt the MC is but a folding screen meant to make the MC look better or push some sort of idea such as Holy Knights corrupt and bad MC weak so pity me Blonde lady is nice and is the MC love interest... Any story worth telling in this world is drowned out by the plot propping up the MC as a veritable new messiah. Watching this show is like enjoying a slow burning dumpster fire. Graphics quality: 5/10 average nothing to talk about Story writing: 5/10 possibly interesting ideas held back by mediocre plot devices Execution: 4/10 plot full of holes events occur very conveniently I have no idea if the source material is any better but the light novel seems like it would be just another edgy power fantasy in a stereotypical fantasy world. I really wonder what is suppose to make me say that this story is special compared to the sea of other source material stories available.
