Trash of the Count's Family

Trash of the Count’s Family presents a power-fantasy narrative where the protagonist, much like Ash Ketchum from Pokémon, effortlessly gathers powerful allies with little resistance, creating a predictable pattern of loyalty acquisition that undermines character development and tension. The noble and royal classes are depicted with cartoonish simplicity, lacking depth or strategic intelligence, which reduces political intrigue to a backdrop for the protagonist’s superiority. Most characters serve as props to elevate the MC, with shallow personalities and decisions that feel scripted rather than natural, resulting in a world filled with underachievers who exist only to highlight Cale’s competence. This formulaic approach, combined with the absence of genuine conflict or growth, turns the story into a hollow but entertaining journey that leans heavily on wish fulfillment and predictable plot progression.

I have reread it so many times lah

Calm, collected, scheming, scamming, commander type, stoic yet caring to his loved ones and extremely vicious to his enemies, self sacrificial, painful past Mc.

The found family is super wholesome, the misunderstandings are super cute, world building is super simple but it's extremely vast in the sense, mysteries about gods and past. The large scale magical fights are so goddamn beautiful and magnificent it's a blessing to read them. The enemies aren't weak either, neither does Cale win all the time without sacrificing.

100/10 extremely recommended go for it!!!!

My favourite novel, it's very slow at the start but gets better and better. Also like how he's not overpowered like most of the protags in other novels

Good but got a little... boring after a while? maybe not boring but I lost interest at some point. It's still a good novel overall. Give it a try.

It is the best story i read and raon is so cute .Cale just keps on sacrificing and the whole team just keeps on worrying about him. i love this story
