Honest question - does someone enjoy reading stories with cretins as MCs? Even if so, even cretins have to be designed correctly. The author here just decided that our MC is going to be oblivious to his own powers no matter what, like a fucking curse. He could be praised, revered like a god, and he still would say that he didn't do anything and that he's just "normal".
His humility fetish is actually infuriating. What purpose does it even serve? Comedy? Does anyone actually find this funny? Even if they did, the whole manga is about rehashing the same joke every fucking time. "MC OP", "Haha no, I'm normal" over and over again. How is this funny?
And the worst part? His "friends" don't even make an effort to actually tell him that he's wrong. Ok, she has been with him only six days, so what? She didn't even try to actually teach him any common sense, just looked at what he did with astonishment, said "wow", and reaped the benefits. Friend? Fuck no, she's clearly just using him.
Why the hell does everyone here sound so defeated when talking about making him understand what he's actually doing, when no one even tried ONCE? Not even that, they actually work AGAINST him, even faking the results of his exam without telling him for some reason. This doesn't make any sense. They want him to realize his power, but they do everything not to make it happen.
And of course they didn't even answer the question why they're deceiving him. Because there's no fucking reason, the author's just too lazy and incompetent to create one and wants his cretin to remain clueless.
This writing is so poor, it's the first time I actually want to send hate mail to the author.

So there lying and USING him. I bet when finds out, he won't even be mad about it. This is an awful story, I'm just hoping it gets better. It also the same trope as used in other but is even worse in this story.
IDK what I'm doing but I can dig thru a mountain in a day and build a house in day. Actual $h1t

Gap moe I guess... Him being weak looking and unassuming then he gets OP with those iron dragons...or maybe in the future like god like beings being mined like nothing.
Power fantasy at best...

I might be more clever than the average person, but I don't really see the difference between Kuruto and most battle shounen protagonists. And those are always popular.
Kuruto isn't really like Aho Girl (I hated the titular character of that manga, and dropped it when I saw this isn't getting better). He is properly thinking, even if he arrives at wrong conclusions every time.
Information asymmetry is the basis of any good comedy. "Geniuses" who magically have access to all information are unrealistic, and make more sense as superpowers, not intelligence.
The true purpose, is preserving the main comedy drive of the story, which is Kuruto accidentally overturning everyone's expectations.
At the moment, the manga has 47 translated chapters, and I'm eagerly waiting for the next one, so clearly the author is doing something right. Still, it looks like the new character might knock some common sense into Kuruto.

Shina is right: the MC is an idiot. At least he's an entertaining idiot, for the reader, that is.
I'm guessing that everyone (including Shina as of the end of the chapter) figures that Kuruto would just bugger off and get himself into danger if he finds out about his OP nature. Yes, they are kind of using him to protect the princess right now, but I get why they've been driven to desperation with this current plan.
I also understand their frustration. While my wife certainly isn't an isekai protagonist, she's unaware of just how amazing and awesome she really is, and no amount of me pointing this out is going to change her mind.
