It has interesting characters, a decent backstory, and a solid plot.So I rated it a 2/5. Because it made all those interesting things somehow boring. The main character mechanically moves from plot point to plot point, with every problem being resolved within a chapter, and every side character is basically villager A: they say something important when it's their turn to solve the problem, but otherwise they just kind of stand around and wait for the main character to interact with them. There's also no mention of his background from before he said "leave it to me" in the prologue, he just randomly has adventuring skills and attributes it to his time as an adventurer. Even when he spends time with his old friends, they don't mention anything from before then.Oh, and bad guys are really getting monotonous at this point. I don't mind them individually, but there have been 3 arcs so far and the villains have all had different names, but were otherwise exactly the same.So yeah, if you can rewrite the story in your head as you read it, you might get some enjoyment out of it. Otherwise it's an extremely forgettable, cliche-filled, poorly written mediocre story, made all the worse because it could have been pretty good.
