This is just an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE What i really like about this manga is that its more realistic and darker, a more grounded look at how power and recognition would actually work in a society based on abilities and class systems. The MC is very ambitious and he has a dream to be the strongest there is, But he is not just your typical overpowered protagonist. Instead he is of the weakest class and instead of him getting some sort of op skill because of it, he doesn't and instead he has to manipulate, strategize and even use underhanded methods just to survive and carve outa place for himself and his goals.

Im tired of the overly optimistic fantasy tropes and this has something more morally gray that it delivers. There is a real sense of desperation and realism to his journey. Power is not just about skills, its about influence, loyalty and knowing how to use people. The world itself is harsh and cold in a believable way. Social heirarchy, discrimination and the nature of survival are all woven into the story without sugarcoating.
