Why do I read them so fast? 😭😭😭

Arthur blackmails an highly skilled artificer with steam engine blueprints to get an overpowered gift for his little sister’s birthday.

Then Arthur starts school and is reunited with the prince, the princess, Lilia, and Tess. Sadly, his attempts to stay below the radar are instantly thrown out the window because he himself is extremely overpowered and can’t resist sticking his nose into injustice.

So it’s really funny to see all his friends trying to protect the bullies from Arthur.

Need to maybe binge the entire series again at some point to appreciate the story more. The unfortunate thing about reading the manhwa is that it just reads so fast that there’s no time to actually absorb the story and the world more deeply. The story just flies off the page and the pacing makes it so that you can’t really stop and appreciate the story.

Ohlala mais qu'est-ce qu'il se passe dans cette école ?? C'est quoi cette "drogue" ?? Comment j'ai envie de secouer des gens, ce tome m'a rendue folle. Je veux des réponses 😭 J'ai hâte que le prochain tome sorte (avec des réponses 🙏🏻)

It is genuinely amazing how much trouble Arthur seems to attract by just existing... 😅

Another great volume. Gideon is so funny. His relationship with art made me laugh so much. Needed after some heavier themes in the last one

The school year begins! It seems bullying and discrimination run rampant despite forced integration of the elves and dwarves.
