There is a girl in my house called Incompetent. She is the girl who suddenly came to live in our house as soon as I turned eight years old. Father suddenly said, “From today on, she’s your younger sister. Be careful in public. At the time I didn’t understand what he meant by “just a younger sister” and I didn’t understand what he meant by “be careful in public,” but somehow I understood that it was okay to treat her roughly, even if I didn’t understand what he meant by that, just by looking at the way the adults were treating her. I didn’t know what it meant to be “nice,” but I knew from the way the adults treated the girl that it was OK to be nice to her, even if I didn’t know what it meant. …… But I didn’t know what “nice” meant either, so I decided to leave the troublesome matter to the girl who had become my younger sister. I was not sure how to handle the troublesome things, so I decided to leave them to the girl who became my sister. ……Well, basically the maids would do the troublesome things for me, so I continued to leave them to the girl who became my sister.

## My Thoughts on I Left All the Troublesome Matters to My Sister, Who Is Called Incompetent, and for Some Reason She Got Sick. Moreover, She Seems So Much More Competent Alright, let's dive into "I Left All the Troublesome Matters to My Sister..." – what a mouthful! This web novel definitely presents a unique premise, one that initially piqued my interest. However, after reading through a good chunk of it, I've got some mixed feelings I want to unpack. ### First Impressions The initial setup is… well, it's there. We're thrown into a world where our protagonist has been, shall we say, less than stellar to his adopted sister. He realizes the error of his ways, tries to make amends, and then things get… complicated. It’s a fairly common trope, but I was hoping for a fresh take. ### What Works Well Honestly, the core concept *could* be interesting. The idea of a brother trying to rectify past mistakes with a sister who may or may not reciprocate his feelings in a way he expects offers fertile ground for exploring family dynamics and personal growth. There's potential for comedy in the misunderstandings, and the "academy" setting hints at opportunities for world-building and character interactions. ### Areas of Concern Unfortunately, the execution seems to stumble quite a bit. I struggled with the protagonist's denseness. While a dense protagonist can be a comedic tool, it felt overdone here. The repetitive nature of the plot – brother tries to distance, sister clings, brother is confused – became tiresome quickly. I also found the world-building to be lacking. I felt like I was missing crucial information, making it difficult to fully invest in the story. The constant shifts in perspective also added to the confusion, making it hard to follow the narrative flow. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, here's where we talk about some potential spoilers. If you're sensitive to plot details, skip this section! The sister's… intense devotion to the protagonist is a major plot point. Some might find it endearing, but I found it veered into unsettling territory. The protagonist's inability to recognize or address this affection, despite acknowledging it, felt contrived and frustrating. ### Final Verdict "I Left All the Troublesome Matters to My Sister..." has a promising premise, but ultimately falls short in its execution. The repetitive plot, dense protagonist, and underdeveloped world-building made it a difficult read for me. While there might be some enjoyment to be found in the comedic aspects or the sibling dynamic, I wouldn’t wholeheartedly recommend this one unless you're particularly fond of the specific tropes it employs and are willing to overlook its flaws. It's a 2 out of 5 stars for me.
