It's interesting. The art starts really good then immediately becomes chicken scratches, only starting to become a little less shitty once the story picks up. Did they forgot the artist's pay or something?

I got tired of waiting, so I started reading on syosetsu. Ryo goes full throttle boke (funny man), and I often feel bad for Abel.

The manga appears to be doing a speedrun of the story, and has skipped a few details of Ryo learning about magic during the 20 years he has been living in the Rondo Forest. The result makes him look like a generic Isekai OPMC, but really he was super weak at first.

First off, they made it look like he could just pour out water from the beginning, but in the LN his first attempt resulted in only a couple drops of water wetting the palm of his hand. He worked at it for several hours, and by the time he passed out from exhausting his mana he had learned how to generate.... a single mouthful of water at a time. It took him several days to generate enough water to fill up bathtub for the first time, and much longer than that before he could turn it into hot water.

For the fights shown in Ch3 & 4, the manga makes it look like easy wins, but he struggled a lot in all of them... except for the Horned Bison. He killed it with a sneak attack by dropping a large ice guillotine right on its neck.



Also, Ryo went to the ocean several times. Not only to get salt, but also because he craved saltwater seafood.

The guide book he received about monsters did not include anything about underwater monsters, so he went in without knowing details about what he would be up against. The first ones he encountered was a tight school of small fish that dismantled his attack magic, and eventually took control of the water surrounding Ryo making him unable to swim away from his current position. He also could not use his magic on the water that was under their control to regain his mobility.

After escaping he decided to improve his magic control skills in the hopes that he could maintain his attack spells so they would hit the enemy, and to steal back control of the surrounding waters if they tried to entrap him again. During his training he discovered all living creatures had a surrounding space of 10 centimeters where it is not possible for others to generate magic. He used this inviolable space to train his ability to overtake the magic control of other creatures.
