Yeaaah... let's see here for a "Complete Meritocracy" They have...
A Monarchy, presumably with leadership being passed down.
Royal Knights that lose to bandits, granted at 3 to 1 odds but still you'd think they'd manage something


I wonder what other dubious results for that Meritocracy we'll get

A meritocracy... with a princess travelling with a couple of guards that lose to a few bandits.
Seems like the bandits are more meritorious than the royals. Maybe they should take the throne?

Seriously, for how widespread it is, the "random encounter with a princess attacked by bandits" was already a pretty nonsense cliche. This one somehow manages to make it worse.

The author avoided the total cliche situation though. The butler is not "Sebas" or "Sebastian". One point of redemption in this abysmal failure of a beginning.

Hmm, if they give out noble titles like candy, do you think they take them away just as easily? :thonk:

Since it's already trash, why not do something cool, like explaining how the old fart magician set up crypto and NFTs, making the whole country fabulously affluent.

That aside, the writing seems to be aimed at an imagined toddler, very simple and surface-level. The pacing is fast enough to keep you from questioning how any of it makes sense - but only if you're willing to go along with it.

Just spedrun the story so fast, any shorter and it would have been just a synopsis.

a supposedly meritocracy, yet only two guards for the countrys princess and they get overpowered by a mere 6 bandits, their armor is so shit arrows pierce it, for whatever reason, the princess is traveling through the woods in the middle of nowhere with only 2 guards, who, again, is to weak to deal with a few bandits, and the MC seem to be one of those silly weak minded fools who wont hurt humans regardless of what they do, like for example bandits, instead he just paralyze them and leave them be to recover in 24 hours and keep attacking and rainding people, leading to more murder, robbery, kidnapping and rapeing, what a great "hero" he is...

Bro i know that those japanese people uses manga to escape harsh reality, but a full on meritocracy? LMAO, as some commented already it was debunked the moment there was a royal family, i doubt a low class child had the same education that this princess had.

"I ran into the princess of where I'm going???"

That was the line that stopped me. I'm out.
