I know there's a lot of people saying Ark is being useless af but I think that's only if you compare him to every other isekai mc's who get a system to help them with whatever they gotta face.
If you haven't noticed, Ark's actually doing something real big here. He KNEW he couldn't purify mana well so he tried to look for an alternative to still help, hence why he's studying mana instead. He also went to the botanist professor to ask about that one specific tree, no? Plus, he ALSO said to Julius before he passed out after getting attacked was that his research was doing well or something.
I'm just hypothesizing here but Ark may be spending most of his time researching the tree. Leo also mentioned that Ark's been "slacking off" when it comes to purifying mana. But if Ark's research did do well, wouldn't it solve both problems??
Because the tree being the one to purify the mana wouldn't mean that the royalty themselves would have to risk their wellbeing for the sake of the people (Simon's concerns). And, just a reminder I'm just speculating cus I'm no expert in ts but wouldn't it help to calm the people down too? If word got out that the tree purifies mana, taxes can lower since it won't directly involve the royals' services and the ppl were going on about them paying for something they can't see. If they KNEW that the tree that grows specially in their kingdom purifies it, it would help give them assurance. If I have a way to make it sound easier to understand, think of it as trees and pollution in our case.
Anyways, my point here is that Ark's not entirely useless as yall put it. It's just that he's doing it in a way that's not usually what isekai mcs do and it really isn't that highlighted in the story so I'd get why this would fly over yalls heads.
Another thing to take note of is the fact that I think the author doesn't write stuff like this (reincarnated in another world) too often. I'm pretty sure in the first chapter there was something saying that they were only trying this genre out because its trending. You can find that statement somewhere around the title page if you go back.
But yeah, all this is nothing but me overthinking the plot and shit, teehee ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
