Imagine you are deemed as a prodigy and people fails to see your talent despite having clearly witness his skills. It's like the world build around Aix has lowered their standard and IQ to sub-average where both of them don't have common sense. He get burn-out and decided to not "work" again but realized the reality that ones needs to make a living. It has only been in the late chapter that you will get some backstory of the main character which is a shame to bring that so late. As it is painting him in a pathetic way and you feel sorry for him but realized that itwas due to his own stupidity that brought those consequences.
There is no shortcut in life, if one will try to take a shortcut you will get to pay an appropriate price at one point. This is the conclusion that show you the author later on.

The story suffer from the classic trope of: slow life without any major plot and motivation. Like where does the story intent to go? The antagonist and protagonist are both boring for their own lack of ambitious or weak ambition.
I give it a 6 for when you are bored and need something to just waste your time. It isn't an awful work per say just not very interesting.
