My Thoughts on I Don’t Want To Inherit A Feudal Estate So I’ll Just Throw Everything On My Brother And Live As I Please

Okay, so I dove into "I Don’t Want To Inherit A Feudal Estate So I’ll Just Throw Everything On My Brother And Live As I Please" with high hopes. The title alone promised a fun, rebellious romp. While it had its moments, my overall experience was a bit of a mixed bag.

First Impressions

The beginning definitely hooked me. The idea of a reincarnated soul, Rolland, trying to ditch his responsibilities and foist them onto his younger brother? Hilarious! I enjoyed the initial arc where he's actively sabotaging his reputation and training his brother. It had a unique charm and a clear sense of direction.

What Works Well

The familial love aspect, especially the bond between the brothers, was a definite highlight. I found myself invested in their interactions and Rolland's somewhat twisted, yet ultimately supportive, approach to helping his sibling. I also appreciated the initial premise of subverting the typical isekai tropes. Rolland's desire to avoid responsibility and live a carefree life as an adventurer was a refreshing change of pace.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, the story seems to lose its way after the initial arc. Several readers have pointed out a significant drop in quality once Rolland leaves the family estate. The plot becomes repetitive, with similar scenarios playing out in each new town. I also found the power scaling to be jarring. Rolland's rapid progression from a relatively weak adventurer to an overpowered prodigy felt rushed and unearned. The convenient acquisition of skills and abilities, without any real effort or explanation, undermined the sense of accomplishment.

Final Verdict

"I Don’t Want To Inherit A Feudal Estate So I’ll Just Throw Everything On My Brother And Live As I Please" had the potential to be a truly unique and enjoyable isekai novel. While the initial premise and familial relationships were promising, the repetitive plot, rushed power scaling, and inconsistent character development ultimately detracted from my overall enjoyment. I'd recommend giving the first arc a try, but be prepared for a potential decline in quality as the story progresses.
