One of these days the ugly noble guy that is always making crude compliments will turn out to be just a nice guy that's taking his advice from a "being popular for dummies" self help book.
Like he could be a really sweet guy that just get's really nervous seeing pretty women and having all of his compliments come out way more creepy than he intends them to.
Perhaps he has so little social experience because he spends all day managing his territory and researching into ways to improve the lives of those whom he's responsible for.
i feel like the manga is rushing really badly through it. like ch3 already at the party? ch5 already shiro blessed? wasnt that like chapter 50 or something in LN? i havent re-read the LN but i feel like there is quiet a lot of stuff being skipped??? hmm... its way to rushed i think.
man, 27 chapters released so far. WN is also at chapter 372 and going strong. Lots of catching up to do, but knowing how painful it is to clean, translate, and typeset the manga it will take time.
@Alncst He has low-esteem throughout, but he slowly gains more self-confidence, and he gets less dense as well. He just stays powerless, yet brave, and willing to move forward.
@Patchi I just started reading the web novel and I think it’s because the manga doesn’t include the mountains of internal monologue. I don’t know how it is in later chapters, but it feels like 70% of each chapter is him thinking to himself. The manga would be super heavy on text if it was included and wouldn’t be fun to read.
