Anti neet propaganda. Unfortunate, because otherwise quite good

This is ok, but the pacing is very slow. 20 chapters in and it feels like the story is just beginning. Currently the raws are about 10 chapters ahead; I'd wait for many more translated chapters before starting.

The expressions and character art in this manga are really good. Everything is ridiculously detailed. NTR warning however. >Come for the ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) >Stay for the memes

Really great stuff here. Hero seems stupid to start, but later revelations change this. This manga deserves a higher rating than 6.7 . The intrigue and misunderstandings that drive the plot are organic and move in interesting directions. This is not your average "I'm super strong, but I was...

This could have been really cool. Could you imagine slight-of-hand being used to unveil "holier than thou" hypocrisy and religious occultism in the medieval catholic church? I jizzed myself. There are cool bits like when the inquisition fakes miracles and witch testing using slight-of-hand. But...

MC is an edgelord. I can't root for him either. Dropped
