TL;DR version: female author + male protagonist = you know why to steer clear from this novelTo be honest, I actually liked the novel when I first started. Sure, the OP skills and techniques he got from training in his teens and university years do not make much sense, but hey, would you prefer a novel about painful grinding? The guy has power, quite intellectual and especially more rational than some edgy teenager boys who apparently has not grown even when thrown into another world (Arifu *cough*, Tate no *cough*<-- well at least this guy is not full-blown nuts). But after reading like a hundred chapters or so, I'm EXTREMELY fed up with how this guy act. Not gonna comment anything on world building or character developmen, I cannot even notice those when this guy... If I have to say, his temperament is NOTHING like a male, not to mention a man. He endured the bullsh*t nobles have thrown at him for YEARS. Nobles one way or another always hate him for a reason beyond my capability of understanding, and so far I've only seen a number of nobles who acutally act like a real aristocrat instead of being the so-called typical noble d*ck; the number can be counted with one hand, mind you. Sorry but that ain't how medieval society worked, this country should have fallen a long time ago because it is controlled by single-minded aristocrats. And also for some reason every stundent falls for those gossips. Are they like f**king apes? Well, the plot was there to make our lovely protagonist shine, right? And she (the author) screwed that up completely. What are you gonna do when people start gossiping about you? Yeah, not investigating the cause and just ignore them because you don't give a f***. You saved the princess and then got framed, what to do? Running away which equals to admitting you did that. What to do when jerks come to you and swear at you for no reason? Ignoring them, yup. Hm, and as far as I can remember (I don't bother to check anymore), the guy has not even fight in serious manner (that is, kill when neccesary). Oh yeah, and there's also this part whenSpoiler
he meet his crush and for the next eternity to come he will never reveal his indetity
[collapse]. The author prepared a setting of revenge, but I almost forgot it if I did not read others' review. So, what have we here? A protagonist who is so "merciful" to the point of so emotionally weak to take any action and whose endurance is higher than the cosmos :| Male authors often portray female characters pretty incorrectly for many don't really understand women even partly, and this is an example of a reverse.
