Kenja no Mago - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

[BloodKing1]

@Screenwatch they know his past but not his origins, thay's why he can be classified as a magic(only) genius..

Aw man I was hoping Merlin would send him out into the world and Merlin would go "Oh shit I forgot to teach him common sense."

@BloodKing1
Yea, but from a character perspective, it seems silly that he is a reincarnated person but lacks common sense relative to our norm. He should have at least took an interest in occupation and money way before it was brought up. I’m saying he SHOULD have just been a genius instead of a genius due to being reincarnated because the story doesn’t plan to do anything with the part of being reincarnated other than to explain why he’s a genius in their eyes.

I wonder if the iskeai element in this are ever gonna go anywhere. 9 times out of 10 the fact the protagonist is reincarnated or from another world are barely mentioned and don't effect the plot. Why can't he just be a talented kid raised by eccentric powerful heroes.
Now whenever the romance comes into play with literal children "his age" I have to try and ignore the fact he's like 40.
