Spoiler warning

This review may discuss plot details.

A pretty stock standard "betrayed protagonist" power fantasy. It's that time again. What time you ask? Why it's time for MC, his half-brother, and his female childhood friend to make their way down to the local cathedral to have their god-gifted class revealed to them. You know, the thing that will determine the entire outcome of the rest of their lives? And of course our poor MC gets the class while his brother and childhood friend both received the strongest class, , resulting in MC being insta kicked out of his noble family home to fend for himself. But wait, our MC isn't ACTUALLYpowerless. No, he instead gets to copy and PERMANENTLY KEEP any skills that belong to a person he touches, no hard work or training necessary!

Things this manga does well:

1. Really nice art, action scenes are well drawn and feel like there is some weight to them.
2. Character designs while nothing unique do look nice, especially the 2 princesses you meet later on.
3. The childhood friend never abandons the MC and actually seeks him out after she hears about him leaving town after being kicked out of his family home. She even lets him copy her holy knight skills to jump start (and I do mean jump start) his knight career.

Things this manga doesn't do well:

1. The same tropey plot points that you've already read a dozen times at this point. There really isn't anything unique about this story.
2. The stakes in this story are hard to take seriously. Every fight tries to portray the MC as an underdog with low confidence only for him to overpower his opponent (often with relative ease).
3. It's comically over the top how quickly the MC's dad and brother throw him out on the street. This isn't anything new for these betrayal stories, but it still deserves to be mentioned as a strike for lazy writing.
4. The princess. Okay, the harem crowd won't like what I'm about to say, but I need to say it. The princess was such a pointless character to add to this story considering how the childhood friend basically carried the mc after he hit rock bottom. For the childhood friend to become such a strong pillar of support for the MC, only for her to then get sidelined for most the story while the princess takes in the mc and even proclaims he will be her husband while the childhood friend just has sit in the corner like a good little cuck and take it (because the weak Japanese-written MC growing a spine and sticking by the 1 woman who saved him ain't happening) just left a bad taste in my mouth and actually made the mc pretty unlikable to me. The princess has a beautiful design, but eye-candy is basically all she's good for because her characterization itself is as uninteresting as the MC's.

Bottom line:

If you happen to have large chunk of free time and also happen to be in the mood for an incredibly average betrayal story about an overdog LARPing as an underdog then check this story out. I think newer manga readers especially would enjoy this simple story.
If the above doesn't apply to you, then I strongly suggest you spend your valuable free time elsewhere. There truly is nothing special about this story other than the awesome childhood friend that gets sidelined for the majority of the manga.
