Author: "Hm, after reading the synopsis it sure feels like my main character is just a trust fund baby that got kicked out on his ass after someone actually appropriate for the job came along. I got it! His sister will just be the most blatant cartoonishly evil villain imaginable. Boom, power fantasy salvaged."
Ok yeah, I see we've got yet another isekai-esque author who doesn't know the meaning of subtlety or moral dilemma.

Holy Hell, Seventh/Sevens finally got a manga adaptation! It's almost a decade-old now at this point. It's more of a coming of age story with some unique flair on how it handles some overused (at this point, but back then it was kinda new) tropes like RPG-esque level ups (You'll soon know Mr. Lyle).
Anyways, it's gonna look generic nowadays but this is one of the earlier stories of using the "Banished from family" trope.
The WN is a 7/10 for me (pun intented) due to a lot of cut out and canceled plot lines (The Numbered Witches and The Labyrinth plot lines).

I read the novel,when near the end of the series,WN first 4 vol besides vol.2 were rough to read,but this is one of the best novel i ever read,large harem done right and character developed was amazing,but too reliant on help from the harem,until the end, when my favorite head the 4th taught him failure,besides that,MC outsmart everyone too much with the heads help kind of story

Yeah its pretty tropey, but to be fair this is based off a pretty old WN and LN at this point (2014-2016) where this kinda stuff was considered new-ish in the scene back-in-the-day.
Considering the author is also behind:
[Otomege Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu/Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs]
You can kinda get an idea of the writing style for this series.

Reposting a review on NovelUpdates I liked
"As an individual who's finished reading the Web Novel version, I'd definitely give this story 5 stars. Sevens is a story that excels at pacing and character development. While it may follow the standard harem trope as many other fantasy novels, the characters that you'll grow attached to aren't the various young maidens the main character will charm throughout his travels, but the seven middle-aged men who help guide and shape the protagonist into an amazingly deep character, while forging a strong bond of 'family'. You will cry for these old men.
The Light Novel version here changes events slightly so that various developments make more sense and the world and side characters are more fleshed out than in the vanilla version, so content wise this is definitely the one to read."

I would agree with this if the sister was shown to be caring and compassionate prior to her rise to power. She isn't however. She's shown to be sadistic, arrogant and otherwise narcisstic. Painting her to be a clear villain from the very get-go.
Meaning, of course. That she was never 'appropriate for the job'. I encourage you, before you go levelling criticism where it's unneeded, to consider other perspectives.
Edit: Not only that, but it's mentioned multiple times how the main character has studied, trained, and otherwise tried to hone himself. Thousands, of times. Hundreds of hours, YEARS of work.
That's not a trust fund baby. Dumbass. That's a young man doing his best and getting thrown out by parents who care about nothing but skill.

Can someone spoil the whole deal with sister. Current translation up to 9, so far it's pointing to her being dark god child or something. Is this really the case. Those who know or read LN or WN, answers are wanted.

From what I remeber of the WN, unless changed in this story or I am misremebering was that said sister was already a spoiled narcisstic brat who was incredibly jealous of her brother. She then finds an artifact stored in their house containing the soul of a magically powerful evil lady who has the power to charm most people and I think caused various wars. Pretty sure said lady offers the deal for them to screw over mc and take over the world. Anyone correct me I am wrong as my memory is fuzzy as I read this about a decade ago

Even if the trope is quite old but the character development, art style, the theme everything is refreshing. I personally love the interactions with the ancestors.
