Honestly, it started out interesting but it tanked so fast... It's been really disappointing. The interesting: -The background of the ML took me by surprise, so that was fun to read -The different gag bits where the sorcerer tries out different gems only to face disaster were funny The bad: -Portraying the later antagonist with middle eastern themes while the ML and 2ML are fair skinned was soooo untasteful -The princess taking the throne and the ML breaking away from his roots would have been amazing, but it seems like that's a pipe dream. Really disappointing-The first prince was seriously dumb. Like, I feel like a little kid could run circles around him -Lute is even dumber. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, right? If he was so special, wouldn't his parents raise him to have some common sense? His personality goes waaay beyond "innocent and naive," he's written to be stupid... No character growth or development in that aspect makes it annoying.
