*sigh*Where shall I begin.First, what I like about this novel.The characters are quite good. They're reasonable, realistic & likeable. Kudos to that.The idea is great, and well executed.The story line while slightly too convenient, is also quite good.The art is again, really well made.No qualms about translation either, 5/5.What I dislike, is the MC.I like realistic characters. I like flawed characters.I dislike utterly dumb & incompetent character that even after being slapped in the face 3 times with the answer still somehow fail to understand it. He was literally told 3 times, in the same day what he should do differently, and he STILL doesn't learn.He's got this idiotic infatuation with Emilia, which makes no sense. He hasn't had much interaction with her.And she didn't treat him in any especially good way. He likes her cause she's the 1st girl he met. And she helped him out. That's it. That basically boils down their relationship.He is quite bad with the thinky thinky part. He struggles with figuring out things around him.He's horribly with thinking up plans.Even incredibly obvious solutions to problems he misses.He learns incredibly slowly.The MC is so unlikable, that the characters surrounding him have to make the novel enjoyable.And no, he is not realistic. Unless he's supposed to portray someone with the intelligence & logical capabilities of an 8 year old.Despite clearly being lacking in every way shape or form, he does absolutely NOTHING to improve himself.Learning swordsmanship, was forced on him.Learning reading, was forced on him.Sometimes, he has sparks of brilliance completely incompatible with his character.He makes surprising leaps in judgement far beyond anything he normally shows.He jumps from IQ of 60 to 140 sometimes. Which makes no sense.Hopefully, the LN will be better.As he clearly was FAR more reasonable on the Anime than in the web novel.Wait for the LN. I assume they'll fix the MC till that time.
