So, I think the story is pretty wholesome so far. Nothing special—there are a bunch of other titles that have pretty much the same concept. But I don’t hate it.
What does bother me, though, is the idea that someone can spend all this time in books, learning about the magic of this world, and even acknowledging that things have fallen behind... and yet still be oblivious to how overpowered he is compared to everyone else. It takes an incredibly dense person—the kind that regularly shows up as an Isekai MC or Harem Protagonist. I don’t get why this trope of a thing.
