@anon About him as a character, he never claimed once that he was a genius, not even to himself. Also, as far as I'm concerned, the only person he may have (indirectly) hurt was his little brother by choosing not to lead his family because he's not forced to. Then again, the brother took the role for his sake, because he's his own person and he can make choices like an adult. Unless you're saying that the MC should dedicate his life to what his family wants of him without any will of his own, in which case I'll disagree with you on that point.
Lastly, about his independence. I mean this without any patronizing, did you skim the chapters or something? Wasn't it obvious that he is working, just like anybody else? He is busy inventing and designing magic tools for general use and leaves other tasks to more suited individuals. Bro literally invented a refrigerator, a coffee mill, and magical protective rings. I don't what was his previous life was like, but you'd have to be a fair bit of a prodigy to be able to do that from scratch (with or without a technological background). He is definitely not leeching off of his employees if you ask me.
This was not brief AT ALL😅😂. I'm sorry
