My Thoughts on The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne
This web novel, "The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne," has been quite the ride, and my feelings are definitely mixed. While it has moments of brilliance and genuine entertainment, it also stumbles in ways that left me scratching my head.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a seemingly incompetent prince with a hidden OP identity as an SS-class adventurer. The idea of political maneuvering combined with action-packed battles sounded like a winning formula. The early chapters were promising, hinting at a deeper plot beneath the surface of the MC's lazy persona.
What Works Well
I appreciate the world-building and the potential for character development. There are moments where the author shines, creating interesting interactions and slowly fleshing out the main cast. I found myself particularly invested in characters like Finne, who evolves from a seemingly superficial beauty into a capable diplomat. The humor, though sometimes a bit hit-or-miss, did provide some genuinely funny moments. Some readers found the main character to be a bit cliche, but I thought he was a non-confrontational character who was actually trying to settle things in a manner which he acknowledged the other side's perspective, or acted humble about things.
Areas of Concern
However, I also encountered some significant issues. The political intrigue, which I was initially excited about, often felt shallow and surface-level. Many situations that could have been resolved quickly with the MC's power were instead dragged out unnecessarily, leading to frustratingly long arcs. The plot can feel repetitive, with the MC outmaneuvering his adversaries who only have one defining characteristic. I also have to agree that the villains can sometimes feel one-dimensional.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne" offers an enjoyable reading experience, especially if you're looking for something to binge-read. While it doesn't quite live up to its full potential, the moments of brilliance and the slow-burn character development kept me engaged enough to see it through. I'd recommend giving it a try, but be prepared for some frustrating moments along the way. Overall, I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5.
