Until I, A Fallen Nobleman, Was Called the Great Sage With My Hazure (?) Skill “Super Jack-of-All-Trades” Chapter 152 Discussion

I tried, but after 152 chapters of this terrible story I had to stop. There is no plot, meaningless arcs that take dozens of chapters, the main character has no idea what they want to do with their life, and the plot armor that this story heavily utilizes to push it's 'plot' forward have ruined what could have been an decent story.

The author tries to show character growth through certain plot events, and then walks back the character growth. For example Spoiler

the end of the first (and only meaningful arc) has the protagonist attempting to kill a psychopath who was trying to mu*der the king, mu*der the protagonist's family, and played a role in attempting to poison the Protagonist's older brother when they were two years old. You'd think after building up the resolve the entire arc to take down those that hurt his family, he would understand that there is no mercy for a psychopath who repeatedly tried to kill his family. Then, after dozens of chapters of filler content, the protagonist listens to the headmaster at school talking about not using evil methods (killing/robbing) and the Protag all of a sudden wonders 'maybe I didn't have to kill the mu*derous psychopath doctor, there was probably another way to go about it.'

The romance in the novel is also pushed waay to hard. Author keeps going back to protagonist being handsome and cool, but afraid for commitment when he's 10 years old ffs. Romantic relationships and drama you would expect in 16-18 year olds is happening for 10-12 year olds, with a peanut gallery of side characters who play a role in the nonexistent plot every 20 or so chapters.

All in all, this story is terrible. The author is trying to write a plot, but it's crappy and overuses tropes in isekais. The romance is both s*upid and non-essential at the current point in the novel (I quit 150 chapters in), since they are all underaged even for their world's standards. The protagonist barely has character growth and when they do, it gets walked back. The power system is also ridiculous, since plot armour drives the story going forward. The protagonist needs a skill or spell? They already learned it and can use it proficiently. Otherwise, the skill or spell can't be copied due to 'plot'. This story was a waste of my time, it gets old fast and it isn't typical Isekai that you could read if there is nothing else. It hurt to continue reading beyond the first arc, reminded me of the Frieza saga where a 6 fight would last for 19 episodes.
