Dropping

I'm dropping this one and it's not because the MC is ugly -- that would be rude.

Nope, I'm dropping this because the story is boring. I don't mind an OP MC, in fact, I enjoy reading MCs who are highly OP, but the story has to be interesting. This story has accomplished making the most boring OP MC ever now that he's reborn as a noble. It probably would have been better had he stayed a war orphan and we witnessed his rise in ranks and abilities. Even the hatching of the egg, which took 8 years, was boring. It would have been better to have the egg hatch in the dormitory causing a small disruption and then taking the animal to his sister's laboratory and using the doppelganger tool his other sister gave him after he established himself at school.

Honestly, I think I would have liked the story more, and it would make more sense, if MC was reborn in noble family that had familial ties to ancient magic. As it is now, his connection to ancient magic is random given his new family, which so far have no such historical connections.

Lastly, I don't like that the potential FL is the daughter of the man who killed MC in his previous life. It's fine if the MC doesn't dwell on this issue, but she should stay a friend and never be considered as a potential love interest. Never.
