This isn't irregular. There are various reasons why people would keep reading stuff they don't find good
Yeah but I don't think it's fair, let's see how it progress, 10 chapters should be fine to judge if it's good or not. But there are some cases you know it's shit, the evidences are there

This sort of manga feels like, if it was aired circa 2000s, it could've been as big as Naruto.
Well, sort of, it feels very "oh by the way" as it is right now, but I can see it going for 200+ chapters.

Some mfer rated this a 1 star when there's only a single chapter, that's crazy
It's rushed and milquetoast.

That's being generous. Naruto at least started with a compelling protagonist. This guy doesn't have a shred of personality. I can't see this lasting more than 2 volumes.

Well, yes. Indeed.
Looking at it practically, there's nothing much here.
But it does give me a good vibe, which is worth fuck all overall.

Decent, 5/10. (Time of review: 3 chapters)

Tl;Dr: Middle of the road plot, extremely rushed. Good art. (As of now) Bland characters. Generic setting.

Plot:
The central focus is on our main character, who is a child that is apparently quite powerful. The central focus appears to be on how the child will be raised and all the wacky hijinks he will get up to. It's not a bad thing, just nothing we haven't seen before.

The story so far has made no effort to hook the audience, preferring to use the "tell, don't show" approach to storytelling. In the first chapter, instead of allowing us to learn his motivation organically, the protagonist just outright tells us his reason for living. Reading this story is like getting the Sparknotes version of an actually interesting plot. Anything that could grip the reader is over in 2-3 pages. Whoever storyboarded this clearly didn't care enough to do much more than to hit every plot point as fast as possible. It's simply far too rushed.

Characters:
The characters exist, that's for sure. I can't speak to their quality, as they feel more than a little flat in some cases. Perhaps it will get better, but that's not something that is guaranteed.

Our protagonist is a veritable Gary Stu, who can solve problems immediately upon encountering them. The other members of the party barely deviate at all from their archetypes, and any variation that is present is immediately highlighted, instead of letting the reader notice on their own.

Art:
The character and environment art is amazing, but everything looks a little stiff. It's only noticeable if you look very closely. Frankly, the art is wasted on this story.

Setting:
Fairly standard. Set in a mediaeval fantasy world. Not much else to say. If you're familiar with the genre, you know the setting.

its a bitt too fast
I agree, it feels like it assumes the reader is familiar with this type of story, which, while it is a safe bet that's true, it feels like it uses that fact to jump to establish facts, so like, instead of learning about a character's traits by observing their behaviors across chapters, it’s telling you "this character is X attribute" instead, and thus insted of building emotional investment, it's instructing you to be emotionally invested, it’s like a random stranger walking up to you, glazing themselves narcisisticaly for an hour, and then ending with "therefore you should invest your life savings in me", forced conclusions basically, I feel like I see this more and more nowadays and I don't know of it's just writters becoming lazy or if it's me becoming snobbier as a result of being more and more familiar with tropes and the like, heaven forbid I end up as a critic of somesorts 🤣

I was going to do a review like you did but more smaller in scale, but you basically just said what I was thinking lmao.

My short review:
The plot's just like any other and is just alright but depending on how the author goes about it in the future, it can be really fun read. The only real problem with this manga right now is just how rushed it feels. The interactions just feel so rushed and forced to happened, so the author can get onto what they really want to do with the story without really building anything else.

But to be honest, most of these types story's feel rushed at the start because the author's didn't want to take a few chapters to even build on anything else, but that's just my opinion.
