They Ridiculed Me for My Luckless Job, but It's Not Actually That Bad? · review

Spoiler warning

This review may discuss plot details.

This manga had a decent setup. The MC gets isekaied into a fantasy world as a prince but is immediately abandoned and sent away to a mansion in the middle of a forest full of demonic monsters because he has bad jobs/classes. When he is learning skills as a kid and learning how to take advantage of his "worthless" job it is not a bad story. He runs away to live in the woods as a ten year old with a warrant for his arrest... which is a plot device to keep him living in the woods that makes little sense. They had no reasonto think he would survive the demon woods or why a trained assassin couldn't track him down.

But that's when the story just falls apart. Over four years go by without the kid even considering the safety of his mom who he left in the hands of an assassin that planned on killing him and her. He forgets about powerful skills for years. He acts like someone playing Skyrim who doesn't care about the main quest. Just random side quests and the kid doesn't think anything trough. He acts clueless all the time despite having a constant connection to a goddess that explains everything all the time. There is a goddess who can see the future where a woman gets the revenge she was looking for against this evil dude and dies from a poison afterwards. The woman and the evil dude are both significantly stronger than him, and he has the "useless" alchemist job that can make antidotes. So, what does he do? He challenges the guy to a duel he can't win and then just wins because the evil dude (or the writer) forgets he has an army of goblins that he used against the woman who wanted revenge.

The illustrations for the manga are good and some story developments are good in isolation. I'd only recommend this after reading all good isekai manga.
