If I had to pick I prefer a well written simpleton over a failed attempt at writing a genius. Plus the MC to me seems about par for the course given he spent almost his entire life at war. Haven’t finished the Volume yet though so I can’t say anything definite about that.
Yes, absolutely. That’s why I especially pointed out that MC isn’t dumb like many other MCs - just a bit simple. It’s just that for my taste I would prefer MC a bit less simple. He doesn’t need to be a genius, but :
spoiler
if he at least had at least recognized that something wasn’t right with the Kingdom officials just dropping him off in the grasslands without anything, I would have been able to emphasize more with MC. No need to outwit the officials, but at least realizing that he is getting like being screwed would have gone a long way. His soldier background could have been the reason why he wouldn’t speak up and just accepted his fate in that case.
Well, that’s just an example. Like I said, I like the first volume, but I hope MC wises up somewhat going forward.
