Written as of chapter 6. I cannot say much about the plot itself as it’s only starting to unfold but as of now- the rating of the comic feels absolutely undeserved.

While it follows the standard tropes which have been popular as of late, it’s already clear that the author IS skilled and DOES know what they’re doing.

The story doesn’t seem to be straightforward- there’s no blind following of the commonly overused tropes like “the overly supportive father”, “the high ego villain”, etc. The world building has been handled really well so far; although it’s hard to tell at this point, there is a fair chance of it developing to the level of Solo Leveling or Tale of a Scribe Who Retires to the Countryside.
There hasn’t been A SINGLE character so far, which I’d call shallow/2D, including the side characters and servants… Everyone seems to have their own way of thinking, talking and interacting with others
It’s too soon to determine how much character depth to expect in the future but at the very least as of now, it has been handled smoothly

The comedy is rather subtle, the pacing- just simply fine, the change of character from the “scummy lord” to the current MC is probably one of the best ones I’ve seen in comics which follow that trope

Overall, while there hasn’t been anything that would make me go “wow”, this series has a REALLY solid start. Don’t let the rating stop you from giving it a shot. Considering how the comic is written, it is bound to change sooner or later.
