Braindead pure comedy manga.

I personally dont like this, a bunch of psycopathic religous people, unrully beast people and thugs it seems build a kingdom, while the mc from what i understand is a complete idiot that just follows the whims of those around him in hopes of not dying, hes treated like a diety from a cult and has a stupidly broken ability, the passing is awful and it just flys by, I honestly had a hard time reading this with the amount of stupidity i saw.

This manga is so funny take on kingdom building and underdog becoming the strongest while being quite clueless in many ways. Think of Overlord, but MC being even more driven by his increasingly over-the-top subordinates. I hope this gets an anime adaptation. The MC is motivated by simple desire to have safe and comfortable life. He finds his only magic power can be quite useful to gain gratitude of people. The things shift to higher gear with arrival of priestess/sister, who points out using magic to help commoners is forbidden by the state religion. However, she does not represent the state religion in fact she represents opposition to it. She wants him to enter her religion and to establish in his domain base for her cult with the MC as their messiah, because he is the embodiment of their ideals. He agrees to avoid any problems, which gains him devotion of bunch crazy religious zealots including the priestess, who is the Albedo trope character for this series – she becomes overly affectionate of MC. She is the first to support his genius plan (he isn’t aware of) to take over the kingdom. As the story continues more characters enter the story. The comedy relies on misunderstandings, quirks of characters including some ludicrous yet cool battle techniques. The villains are mostly quite simple. Visually the series looks good, but not that great. The characters’ expressions and internal monologs are used for comedy quite often in this series. I do enjoy the series so far. It’s quite over-the-top series. It reminds me Konosuba and Overlord in some aspects, but this is not an isekai. Japanese difficulty 4/10 (see my profile for details about various difficulty scores) This series has furigana. The text volume is average. Occasionally there more unusual word, but the rest is on average level. This review is written after reading 6 volumes (all existing at the time).
