Im fine with him being a dimwit, i mean... its comedy, so whatever. But yeaaaaaah... the 2 lives as a hero and a sage doesnt make sense, a sage cant possibly be that stupid, another backstory would have been better here, there are enough overpowered superboys without 2 lives, so...
@Silwith Actually, some of the smartest people have no common sense. Given that he had such extraordinary talent in both lives, his "norm" is likely different from a casual person.
@GodGinrai even if his common sense surpassed normal people, if he's smart enough he would try to read how people value things and their way of thinking, especially for someone like him who reincarnated twice, it's odd to become that naive. World is not such a nice place, there should be at least one person who had bad intentions to him in his previous life.
@KuroAnsatsu To someone with common sense, this seems obvious. To someone without common sense, such an idea wouldn't even come to mind. I agree that he's surprisingly naiive, tho'. I was expecting something more along the lines of the MC from Leave Me and Go, where he has common sense, but just gets involved in important events because of fate/plot.
@Robbini I mean the guilds sometimes run based on reliability too. Its been explained by other manga that the first few ranks test the mettle and spirit of the adventurer more than just the battle power. Adventurers are not merely mercenaries or hires swords after all. They generally do a wide range of work that merely requires a strong sword arm to perform. The classic gathering of herbs for instance is done by them due to the threat of monsters outside the cities. The request itself only requires herb gathering skills and hiking to where they are. Its just a bit dangerous depending on where they grow, which is why sometimes its actually an escort mission.
Anyway the point is that he needs to be evaluated to see if he can hack it as an adventurer even if he's strong.
This is fun and kinda wholesome. Also big-titty receptionist-chan. And little MC needs to stop wearing that thin black choker, those things are useless and sexy.
maybe the joke is that he is just repeating what he did his last two lives, but he is too dense to break the cycle of being overpowered and being envied by those around him
reincarnation cycle of being OP when you don't to be, would be a funny gimmick!
