Reincarnated as an Aristocrat With an Appraisal Skill - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Reincarnation and Appraisal

I really love appraisal being done this way. I kept passing it up because I assumed it was the overdone omnipotent type of system. Glad it isn't.
 
I'm stuck at chapter 1 because of his name lol
Can't even read his name without breaking concentration
 
If this guy strategy and political abilities are that high already, the same/better than the lord, why can't he escape his fate as a poor n homeless slave?
 
It's kinda sad in its own way though. At this point in the story at least, the appraisal makes the world disturbingly and irrevocably deterministic. I am not a huge fan of pure shounen notions of "just BeLiEvE in yourself, and you can do AnYtHiNg", but here we have this 5-star SSR insanely skilled individual that should (and would) be recruited at any costs, and here are hundreds of 1-star mobs that will never get a chance.
Their respectable futures are literally decided the moment our hero gazes at them and deems them unworthy.

Well, I still won't deny the possibility we'll see some kind of subversion, so it's fine, I guess.
 
@Moth nope, it's very realistic, he is a child from a discriminated race, has no money, is probably a fugitive slave or at least the child of slaves and has little to no education, who would want to give him work where he can prove his worth (and even then, the first thing to happen would probably automatically his fault)
whereever you live, tell me how many chances would a kid like him have?
 
That moment when you see a guy able to hold up a whole platter of half a dozen gold ingots with 1 hand on a slant... Either they got cheated on the purity or that guy is crazy strong to lift 100kg like that.

@Inori There's a difference, though. In the grand scheme of war, no single man can alter it, not even a group of the world's greatest warriors can, so even if the MC can recruit a hundred special soldiers, they will still not be able to crush the might of a country's army.
There will always be specialists and laymen, knights and foot-soldiers, king and peasants after all.
MC may be able to recruit the best of the best easily, but he still needs the 100 1-star/2-star mobs to fill up the rest of the positions in an army/government.
 
@buecherwurmin I would agree with you, but those current stats are way too high for him not to have had some training or education at only 14. Maybe he doesn't realize the skills he has an aptitude for, but if he has, then he could easily just be a hunter.
If he didn't know what skills he's good at, then I suppose begging for a job makes sense. However, even then, his politics stat is so high that it's hard to imagine that he can't convince someone to hire him. The protagonist's dad rose from a farmer to a lord with a stat half as high, so this guy should be able to at least find work.
