+ It has a strong concept: a deaf boy with no physical power wants to be the strongest king
+ The art style fits incredibly well with the fairy tale theme
~ Why, in a show called Ranking of Kings, do we only meet 2 kings?
~ The stakes are never real because no one ever dies, they're always healed
~ Character do things with potentially major consequences for inexplicable reasons
~ Choices rarely ever make sense, because the plot is always stringing us along
~ Characters also pop in and out of the story whenever it is convenient, even when it isn't dramatically compelling
~ They withhold important story details for multiple episodes instead of telling us what we need to know immediately (why are we waiting 3 episodes to learn of Bojji's weapon?)
~ Relies heavily on flashbacks to reveal motives, and yet those motives still feel half-baked
~ Despite spending his formative years finding no success with physical training, our protagonist solves his problems with MORE TRAINING, WOW

= Overrated and insubstantial; emblematic of everything you'd find in bad Shonen storytelling, and completely falls apart by the end of the story
