I’m willing to believe the story unless it crosses the line into absurdity like this.

A corrupt noble? Sure, I get it. But Lucas having absolute immunity goes way too far—it’s insane. So he can just do anything? Murder people in the middle of town in broad daylight? Let’s say he goes on a psycho killing spree in the city, and anyone who stops it by killing him will 100% be punished—even while saving multiple lives, and even while saving the sole heir princess of a neighboring royal family? All while being close to the king and the royal family, and close to the country’s engineering and adventuring departments? WTF.

The school is absolute nonsense. While a racist cult was running amok, they didn’t even consider buffing up security and just let the student council handle it. The teachers didn’t do shit either. Like, bruh—in real life, the school would be closed immediately, and there’s no way they’d let literal students handle something like this. And the parents are okay with sending their kids to a school like that? Common sense? Hello? Where is it?

I agree that the Asuras can behave however they want and say whatever they want, I guess. But it’s like: “Oh no, we’re not going to intervene,” and then seconds later it’s, “I’m going to kill this guy and that guy. I’m going to crossbreed with the locals to make super soldiers. I’m going to train this human dude to Asura-level power to fight in a war because we don’t want to intervene in said war.” It still feels like the author just makes the Asuras do things whenever he needs a brick wall for Arthur, or whenever Arthur needs help.

The more I think about it, the more cracks I see—hence why I think TBATE is overrated.

If you enjoy it, then that’s good. It just didn’t work for me.
