Plot Description
The story begins with Kurt Rockhans, a porter for the Flaming Dragon Fang, being kicked out by the party’s leader, Golnova, for his perceived uselessness in combat. After then, Kurt took on various odd jobs, such as repairing castle walls and mining rare ores like mithril and orichalcum, which he completed with astonishing skill and speed thinking he only has G(lowest) rank and he isn’t a good help to others.
Kurt’s life took a turn when he meets Yulicia, a former royal servant and mine owner who recognized his potential (and also developed a crush on him) and later recruited him to work at a newly established atelier, secretly designed to protect Lieselotte, the third princess of Homuross, from assassination attempts by the Demon King.
Lieselotte, under a curse, was hidden under the care of Atelier Master Ophelia, and Kurt’s arrival inadvertently lifted her curse through his magically infused cooking. As Kurt continues his work, he built fortresses, dismembers iron golems with mining skills, and crafts powerful artifacts, all while believing he’s merely helping out.
The plot thickens as Kurt becomes entangled in a web of political intrigue and demonic threats. Yulicia and others, aware of his value, keep his true role as Atelier Master a secret to shield him from danger. The narrative balances lighthearted moments, such as Kurt’s clueless interactions with his growing circle of admirers and each new episode reveals more about Kurt’s abilities, making for an engaging mix of humour and fantasy adventure.
Main Characters
- ‣ Kurt Rockhans (Voiced by Mikako Komatsu) – The protagonist, a 15-year-old with zero combat aptitude but SSS-rank skills in non-combat tasks. Kind, hardworking, and unaware of his talents, Kurt’s innocence and diligence make him a fan favorite.
- ‣ Yulicia (Voiced by Asami Seto) – A silver-haired, dark-skinned former adventurer and royal servant who recruits Kurt for the atelier. She’s intelligent, resourceful, and smitten with Kurt.
- ‣ Lieselotte Homuros (Voiced by Minami Tanaka) – The 15-year-old third princess of Homuross, targeted by the Demon King. Kurt’s kindness and curse-breaking food endear her to him.
- ‣ Bandana (Voiced by Mayu Yoshioka) – A ranger who guides Kurt to the atelier and keeps his true potential a secret. She’s a capable and independent ally.
- ‣ Ophelia (Voiced by Rie Tanaka) – An experienced Atelier Master who protects Lieselotte and oversees the workshop.
- ‣ Golnova – The harsh leader of Flaming Dragon Fang, whose mistreatment of Kurt sets the story in motion.
Conclusion
Though it’s not a perfect alternative of Solo Leveling. But it does have some similarities as the main hero Kurt is unaware about his SSS rank powers and thinks he has the lowest rank. But it’s kind of a light hearted anime compared to Solo Leveling which mainly follows a complex plot, focusing more on fighting scenes but I personally enjoyed this anime. We will be publishing the similar animes of Solo Leveling soon. So, keep an eye on our blog.
