Story: 6/10
The story of this ln starts as a generic isekai but honestly it kept getting better and better, but then it went downhill like a rollercoaster. I really enjoyed the fact that it tried to do things differently as in the mc was discarded as a hero for being too "ugly" and instead of becoming some cliche hero decided to find the origins of his parents who apparently come from that world. In the meantime, he also became a merchant since that was also one of his goals trouble still seemed to find him. My biggest problem with the story is that when something
...
is not happening, IT’S BORING. For example, multiple chapters were completely wasted in my opinion, on a fucking orphanage. They kept talking about how they would redesign it and other unimportant stuff instead of actually moving story forward. Or there was another time where it was explained to us how they were going to build a hot spring in some snowy mountains. Wow thank you so much I couldn’t live without this information like I didn’t come here to read a moonlit fantasy or something stupid like that. Another problem is when the author finally makes the story continue, it doesn’t make sense.(MINOR SPOILER ALERT!) The part to which I am referring is when the city of Tsige was in danger of being attacked, so, a person from another country came to our mc and said: "hey, spend tens of chapters going to our country so you can look for some very specific people that can help you defend the city", so our mc who has thousands of soldiers stronger than lesser dragons that could be deployed at his command anywhere and anytime said: "yea sure I’ll spend tens of chapters in your country to search for some very specific people instead of solving the problem in 1 minute". Why did he have to go to that country? Because he needed to meet some "important" characters and because something terrible was happening in that country in that exact moment... wow.
Character: 2/10
Oh boy, the characters are not good. They are bland and one dimensional. The 3 servants of our mc kinda remind me of lesser versions of Meruem's 3 royal guards. Shiki is like Shaiapouf with the whole "EVERYTHING FOR THE KING" but without any aspect that made him interesting to watch or not forgettable, it’s like Shiki is only the skeleton of Pouf (get it cause he is a lich) without any kind of personality or distinctive traits. Mio reminds me of Youpi with the "I am a shield" mentality, but since she is a one dimensional character, she doesn't develop like Youpi does. Mio remains a lifeless shield without a personality that learned to cook. Tomoe's similar aspect to Neferpitou is the way they both want to prioritize the master's wishes. But unlike Pitou who gets a lot of character development in the span of a couple of months, Tomoe has always been perfect. Since she is a superior dragon she is extremely wise and intelligent. A cool lady who never makes mistakes and always has good ideas to help her dumbass master with every matter. Tomoe's only "unique" trait is that she loves japanese culture (especially samurai dramas) and wants to implement it in the place where they live. Also, I really loved the interactions between those 3. Like how Mio and Tomoe were very competitive with each other, or how those 2 bullied Shiki when he just started as a servant. Unfortunately those interactions slowly disappeared never to be seen again. Now, let's talk about our big strong boi isekai protagonist Makoto. He is worthless. Honestly, this is the only way I can describe him. He is just an average overpowered isekai protagonist with no personality, that is a magnet for women but obviously he is dense and probably has an allergy to them. He is extremely boring and uninteresting, his only wish being to be a merchant even though he is too gutless and naive to be one. Therefore, he leaves absolutely everything to his servants and doesn't do anything except fight once every 100 chapters or get scared by a normal human as an op isekai protagonist who compared to that human is literally a fucking god. Truly worthless. He kind of reminds me of Meruem before he was even born, just a literal embryo.
As for the supporting cast, they are completely irrelevant, it's like if they never existed nothing would change. We have a ton of support characters, but they are all one dimensional, uninteresting, bland and totally forgettable. Okay, maybe not Eris because she is weird. For real, this is the most interesting character in the whole supporting cast. A weird loli. That's it. Other than that, we have the cliche "perfect student queen" Hibiki senpai, the "what the fuck is this character from a fat otaku loser's hentai harem fantasy where women are treated like garbage doing in this story since his presence doesn't accomplish anything even though he is supposed to be a hero aka an important character and gets wasted time on him?" Tomoki and the “cool crazy sexy dragon girl but not quite” Sofia. Oh there is also that character Lime Latte whose “unique” trait is that his name is gross (and it is).
Enjoyment: 4/10
As I have mentioned in story category, I really enjoyed the light novel in the beginning, but it got more and more boring for me as I got deeper into the story.
Overall: 4/10
Honestly this could have been so much better especially with a promising start, but unfortunately it gets bad.
