Plot
MC and his twin brother are 7th and 8th princes. MC is known as the dull prince, because he neither has any talent nor puts any effort in his training, unlike his twin brother. But MC is secretly (OP) a genius and famous SS rank adventurer using fobidden Ancient Magic_TM, and pretends to be a loser on purpose to avoid unnecessary attention from royalty/nobility. When a succession war breaks out, he decides to support his younger twin brother as the next emperor candidate behind the scenes.
Review
Positives:
1. Has the relatively unique premise of siblings fighting a succession war.
2. Sets up the mysteries very well and
...
gives us the feeling that there's something darker lurking behind the scenes. eg: Ancient magic, Death of the first prince etc.
3. MC is a chad (some times).
4. The relationships are really wholesome and heartwarming. MC and his brother are really supportive of each other. We need more positive vibes like this.
Negatives:
1. The writing is childish. We have multiple characters using magic tools to "hide" their faces with optical magic. and yet, MC for some reason always goes into town without hiding his face. Imagine a royal prince of the most powerful empire just walking in the market lmao.
2. characters feel more cringe than competent. MC himself flipflops between a chad character and a "good guy who sacrifices himself for the sake of others" character (like hachiman from oregairu).
3. Instead of making MC smart, the series makes all the other characters dumber. Some of the nobles are so dumb, that any "smart" plan by our MC to manipulate them feels like bullshit.
Overall:
Its just a decent series with some very obvious flaws. If you keep your expectations low, then this will make for a good binge.
