My Noble Family is Headed For Ruin, So I May As Well Study Magic In My Free Time - Chapter 1

This is some incredibly stupid writing. Having to reaffirm your nobility periodically, that makes sense. The Romans did that, and that was a thing you had to do every generation, not just every three. That, unfortunately, is where the plot falls apart. What do you mean, a fourth generation noble family is the “oldest” noble family?! Only FOUR?! Is this a new system or something?

And how the hell are they so rich, with such a big, fancy house, if the nobility began with the main character’s great-grandfather? They should be a barely-established family after only four generations! There should still be a few noble families looking down on them as “new nobility” at this point!

Most importantly, how the hell are ANY of this family’s children in the “Useless lazy noble” rut after only FOUR generations?! Especially in a system that demands a reaffirmation of nobility? It’s a trend I’ve seen every recent manhwa and manga author fall into, thinking that all nobles are entitled, lazy brats, like the kids of some nouveau riche family or something. In reality, if you weren’t in line to inherit, you had to get a job to support yourself, because you weren’t going to get to live off of your parents forever. If you didn’t inherit, you were expected to enter the military, or the clergy, or something of similar dignity, so you could live once you were an adult!
