Goody 2 shoe proto in bad environment. He didn't get cheats but he still is always concerned about everyone but him. Don't get fooled by comments saying that he is special. He isn't, author fools you by him doing everything for his 'survival' but look on how he is always concerned about even minimal deceptions, how he is afraid of killing humans (who cares about mu*dering in mass self conscious youkai, they are just mobs), how he can become nice friend with his torturer. He does necessary things but that's true for other standard MCs as well. Personal growth? None. He gets new powers (youkai and divine) but as a standard japanese proto doesn't acknowledge them. However even after 90 ch he is yet to grow some balls.Descriptive way of writing is boring. It's nice to learn about world but it shouldn't be 80% of the novelWorld is unrealistic. It's fine when world is unrealistic in easy light hearted novel but this piece pretends to be serious and thought through. 2 princesses can't even take one servant for themselves - why? Why plebs are not afraid of servants? I understand why they might hate them but servants are still few times stronger than plebs and also are a property of very influential families. Why 'smart' youkai just don't attack individual villages? They would destroy this country in a year this way. Why they build villages in unsuitable places? Why everyone borderlines ignores both ridiculous risks and achievements of tomobe?Story itself is pretty good and there a lot of nice ideas. But it's boring and MC is rather bland
