Having a dragon as an ally isn't a bad idea.

Still the usual fantasy stuff. I do have to admit that Scarlet has more of a commanding presence than the main female or supporting cast. Liam also made a rational move this episode...hope he isn't going to be like this in the future. It feels like in his mind, he's building a competitive rivalry with Raymond.

That dragon turned out to be quite the helpful ally in the end. Too bad his kids were a threat, but Liam took care of them, if just barely.

I was so afraid those baby dragons are gonna get killed just for protecting his father, but Liam keep them survive after all, well, at least one of them, or do they just combined into one familiar?

Liam's big brother can take a credit for unsealed the dragon though, it seems like that dragon was sealed for a wrong reason, so it's nice to see him set free.

No sandwich was made in this episode.

The pace seems to have slowed down a bit this episode, which is step in the right direction, though i still feel like everything gets solved stupid fast at times. Liam becomes even more powerful, as expected of an isekai protagonist. I hope they flesh out Radon more now that he has joined them, he felt super hollow and uninteresting when they met and started talking. Other than that the story keeps going as expected, he's becoming overpowered, swooning all the female cast and will probably start with bureaucracy or something as these shitty isekais tend to end up with.
Hopefully they keep slowing down the pacing a bit and hopefully introduce more fleshed out characters.

No, bad Liam, stop blaming yourself just because your big brother is a little cry baby who needs to be at the top all the time

Yeah, so the big brother is a confirmed idiot.
On the other hand, the princess is an intriguing character, looking forward to what she brings to the show next.
Overall, a pretty fun and interesting episode.

This episode felt pretty lackluster and shallow. The earlier episodes felt better. The plot is extremely basic and the MC pretty much just has easy wins and free stuff thrown at him. Hopefully it gets better again.

This show is pretty simple but I find it very light hearted and fun. Probably the best part is that our hero doesn't follow a lot of the typical BS tropes such as being self depricating. He doesn't have a ton of ambition but he is curious and just rolls with the punches.

The problem I have with this, which is identical to the problem I had with 8th Son, is that for whatever reason, the MC is completely naive and doesn't understand the envy of their older siblings, or in this case tried to make excuses and states that it's their fault. By being naive like that, it only causes more trouble in the future and generally takes away from the overall entertainment of the storyline.

I am not a great expert on the European Middle Ages, but it seems that the Nihonjin are completely ignorant of it. As far as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), titles of nobility are primarily land grants. That is, the title of baron is primarily a land grant. And here it is not even a title, just a word.

Great just what Liam needed, more OP abilities on top of already being a monster in terms of mana and spell casting now he gets a dragon fiend?? This story is progressing so fast and for what, like who does he even need that much power against when he’s like one of the strongest people already lol. And he’s got a command seal now!

We got a modern version of the “it should’ve been me, not him, ME!” Meme. Liam’s brother is a dumbass and should just be thankful to be alive after his fuck up.

@elkensteyin It's standard for monarchic style cultures. The youngest siblings were always just screwed and they just had to accept it outside of trying to rise up and kill their older siblings. Most of the time that didn't happen especially since historical hierarchy laws more severely punished the younger sibling for committing a crime against the older sibling than it would punish the other way around. Even the becoming a knight is standard since that's what happened in English nobility, the younger siblings would go to Eton and then have a military career.

@LacingMaster When writs of summons were created in like the 1200s, the King of England was able to create baronies without land. When that was adopted, a summons of writ untied baronies to land holding. The idea of a title automatically granting land was from feudal baronies and that idea was slowly chipped away at after summons of writ were adopted and then a chain of documents like the Modus Tenendi Parliamentum of 1419 which ultimately led to feudal baronies being completely abolished by 1660.

@sodrainz Completely understandable for someone born and raised in that era or type of Monarch/Feudal society. The problem I have, and I guess I should have been more specific, is when an isekai'd adult is the one being naive. They should potentially know better than that.

For a second I thought the princess was going to say, "You can't be higher than a baron without land... so I'm giving you some land!"

When Liam became a knight he was told his successes would also count towards his father's family. Is that still true after he became a baron?

That's 99% of power fantasies. Despite that, I really enjoy this one for what it is. Those dragons need to be drawn better, though. It looks so ugly. 😭

So do the three original dragon children just die…? He’s friends with the dragon now so shouldn’t he release the kids? I know he summons ONE at the end but that seems like a completely different dragon (and looks different too) than the original three he sent to “another world”; it seems like the one he summoned is like a disposable/replaceable troop you might summon in a video game.

Liam just keeps impressing the princess while his big bro keeps screwing up coz he's blinded by jealousy. If Liam just walk away from nobility & concentrate on just being an adventurer, then he'll avoid the unnecessary drama & headache his jealous big bro brings lol

@elkensteyin Modern Asian cultures have not exactly moved past extreme deference to their elders. I mean, look at how many concessions Japanese legislation benefits the older people while wondering why their younger generation isn't having children.

Still my favorite anime this season. MC is extremely vanilla. He doesn't try to do anything different. He is an extremely traditional shounen hero, and yet it still works for me at least. Shounen heroes are by themselves admired for their personality traits, and you don't have to mess with the formula all the time.

One way I'd describe it is the MC is a lot like nigiri sushi. He's fundamentally very basic and doesn't try to do anything different or mindblowing, but his character traits are very appealing and executed well.

he isnt all that op atm. he said himself he only knows Novice magic. he has some cheating another world room but someone like Raymond or even that butler who had his shield broken would wipe the floor with him.

first thought it will be another version of Kenya no mago.

but the battle with the dragon was turn off. So far the monsters are alive creature, so how did he absorb it.

and so far all the characters are so shallow. the girls trust the MC never doubted him. the princess proud and enjoy the MC. the big brother is joulice. the dragon is calm even after his kids died. the guild master has no feelings.

Exactly. Really similar like secret teacher problem with elder sibling and more. First 2 was good but 3rd one is just normal isekai with predictable plot and ugly fighting scenes.

This episode was a good one all the way up until the end. The part with the dragon seemed a bit weird. Liam banishes the smaller dragons which I assume was the larger dragon's offspring but instead of being upset the larger dragon decides to bond with Liam. As the episodes go on there is very little resistance to anything Liam does so I wonder where the story will take us.

Ngl after 3 episodes not sure if I will keep up with this one. I have enjoyed the last two but I'm not sure where it's headed. I may come back in a few weeks to watch a few more episodes, but this is not going to be one that I have to watch as soon as a new episode drops.

This is one of the most soulless shows I've ever watched, it's not even that it's boring it's just fast paced nothing. Watching someone without a personality just achieve things left and right in a town filled with characters without personality in a world so basic is baffling to me. I'm hoping it's setting up things quickly to get to the meat but wow.

Liam in the presence of 1st Princess Scarlet Sherry Jamil and being tested, clearly, she wants to see who he is like, and his antics have earned him a status promotion to Baron, as well as the Familiar grimoire book. But the 5th son being more in recognition than Albrevit, and being surrounded by the pretty ladies of Jodi and Asuna to form a party to get stronger. As expected, Albrevit only knows how to cause problems by releasing the dragon fiend Radon that was sealed by the Hamiltons' great-grandfather.

Unfortunately, this means that the junior Radons are on the loose, and not even Liam can counter the small horde on his own, not without any risks to subjugate the children before going to reseal their parent. The contempt of the dragon fiend telepathing with Liam knowing that he's built different enough to trust him, and Radon's mana engulfing his entire body just makes an even solid foundation for Liam's position and recognition, when all Albrevit had going for was the sake of his own ego to protect the Hamilton family.

Princess Scarlet coming personally to give Liam yet another promotion and pronounce him Lord over the people, even she could not understand how this kind of Holy Magic that Liam had was something unique and unprecedented...enough to buy him 3000 gold coins to silence him, well...that's the trade.

A dragon ally is always best.

the author destroyed all my hopes in ep 2 with the arrival of these two girls, but ep 3 showed that they had no interest in even animating the work in a decent way because they placed all their hopes in the female appeal
hilarious, sad and hateful is what I feel watching this, just like the others, the adventure does not exist, synonyms and gestures of actions commonly seen in jrpg will be the biggest element of the story because the author has no idea what he is doing and that is all
amateur work, amateur animation, amateur production, unnecessary sex appeal
