Along with the poor world building like how the MC initially is brought down to such a low level of society despite being a top ranking adventurer in a world where being highly ranked is prestigious. There's such an unconvincing portrayal of how he was brought down, and somehow lost all his credibility, how there are concepts of numerical HP and MP without game/isekai themes is beyond dumb.
However at least the relationship between the Douglas and Ravi is interesting. That's what we're all here for I guess, I've read dumber fantasy worlds with characters I liked even less.
