Description
Henry, born in a royal family without skills, is given territory on the border. It’s a grassland full of monsters,, with no people, no resources, and no hope. Disheartened, Henry wanders the grasslands and falls underground through a hole. However, the moment he touches a stone monument there, words echo in his mind. It is a mysterious dungeon filled with ancient items, traps, and malevolence. If you die inside, you lose your status and have to start over, but that doesn’t matter to Henry’s off-the-charts skill, “Maintain Status”. No matter how many times he dies, he can always grow and start over. Henry will die again today. All for the sake of developing his territory with dungeon clear rewards.

Exiled Prince Without Skills: Infinite Growth in a Mysterious Dungeon Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Exiled Prince Without Skills: Infinite Growth in a Mysterious Dungeon
"Exiled Prince Without Skills: Infinite Growth in a Mysterious Dungeon" – the title alone hooked me. The premise of a seemingly useless prince finding his strength through a mysterious dungeon? Count me in! However, after diving into the available chapters, I'm left with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The initial chapters definitely grab your attention. The idea of a prince, cast aside and seemingly talentless, stumbling upon a dungeon that exploits a loophole in his "useless" skill is intriguing. It feels like the beginning of a classic underdog story, where hard work and ingenuity triumph over inherent ability. The RPG-style dungeon system also adds a layer of familiarity that makes it easy to jump into the world.
What Works Well
The concept is undeniably strong. The protagonist's initial disadvantage and the promise of "infinite growth" are compelling hooks. The dungeon's RPG mechanics offer a clear path for progression, and the fact that the prince has to genuinely work for his power, rather than simply being handed it, is a refreshing touch. It's a classic setup with the potential for great character development and thrilling action.
Areas of Concern
My biggest concern, and one that seems to resonate with other readers, is the pacing and execution. While the initial setup is promising, the story seems to rush through crucial moments. I would have loved to see more focus on the prince's descent into madness and his subsequent recovery. Exploring this aspect in detail would have added depth to his character and made his relationships with the wolf and elf girls more meaningful. The time skips felt abrupt, robbing the story of some potentially powerful emotional moments.

Final Verdict
"Exiled Prince Without Skills: Infinite Growth in a Mysterious Dungeon" has a fantastic core concept and the seeds of a great story. However, the rushed pacing and missed opportunities for deeper character development hold it back. The limited number of translated chapters and the author taking down the story makes it hard to recommend. I'm hoping that if the light novel is ever fully translated, it will address these issues and realize the full potential of the premise. For now, it remains a story with a lot of promise that unfortunately falls short in its execution.
