Ore wa Subete wo "Parry" suru: Gyaku Kanchigai no Sekai Saikyou wa Boukensha ni Naritai

The Kingdom of Clays faces a dire crisis: an assassination attempt has just been made on its own Princess Lynneburg, and its neighboring countries eye the aftermath like starving vultures, plotting the Kingdom's downfall. The ensuing conflict will shape the face of the continent for centuries to come...but Noor doesn't have a clue about any of that! Having freshly arrived at the royal capital after over a decade of rigorous, isolated training at his mountain home, he's dead set on achieving his childhood dream of becoming an adventurer, even if the only skills he possesses are useless ones. Sure, he can "Parry" thousands of swords in the span of a single breath, but everybody knows you need more than that if you want to be an adventurer! Our hero's road to making his dream come true will be long(?) and arduous(?)—but if there's one thing Noor's not afraid of, it's some good ol' fashioned hard work!

Its the story of an adventurer who became super powerful not through BS isekai magic but by actually training hard as a kid? Thats insane!

However all he can do is parry. No matter how many training schools he tried to attend, whether it be warrior, mage, cleric, assassin, he was rejected because he could not learn any skills. But out of determination to make his deceased father and mother proud he trained hard every day.
He still sees himself as weak not realizing he has in fact become super powerful.

Its a very by the numbers anime. But still enjoyable to watch.
The main character is well written. ... Nothing spectacular but doesn't come off as generic or cliche. Its the kind of MC you can get behind.
It does follow predictable paths though. Girl gets infatuated by main character and wants to follow him around. Asshole guy challenges main character to a fight and gets humiliated. That kind of stuff.

I think the main character's obliviousness to how strong he really is is what makes it worth watching. He thinks everyone else is super strong and that they are going easy on him. He's never had a real sparring partner so it makes sense for him to be oblivious.

Its funny.

Noor's sheer stupidity is maddening. Despite his obvious power, he remains clueless about his abilities. This lack of self-awareness isn't endearing; it's rage inducing. Watching Noor struggle to understand his own strength is a test of patience, and his character fails to develop throughout the series. The anime's excessive use of recaps is another major issue. Every episode spends too much time rehashing previous events, which drags down the pacing and makes the series feel stagnant. The storyline has potential. The action scenes are decent. However, these positives are often overshadowed by Noor's frustrating behavior and the repetitive recaps. The first episode was quite ... interesting, but it fell off extremely by Noor being an idiot. If you can handle such annoying main character give it a go.

MAL really needs to add a "Dumb/Dense Protagonist" tag so I can avoid shows like this.

Before, we had shows where the MC would never have to do anything and they'd come across some cheat powers. Now, the meta has shifted to MCs finally training hard to become strong, but the catch is that they lose all their intellect in the process so you end up with a main protagonist who just lives in his own world and has 0 self-awareness.

The gist of the show goes like this, MC strong but he thinks he's weak. Everyone else is weak and thinks the MC is strong. Endless ... frustrating misunderstandings every episode because communication is not an option and MC can't add 1 to 1 together. This formula would be fine in a comedy show but despite the title of this show it tries to be a serious show so it just ends up being annoying to watch.

I only gave it the 3 episodes rule so maybe the MC will eventually wake up and regain his lost intellect, but he's been such a parry god that he's parried me out from watching.
