I'm doing this comment review because of how annoyed I feel at the current moment being a little over halfway through this novel [ch 459.2]. I plan to keep reading for now but I'm overly annoyed, so I want to see if I change my mind once I finish the novel.
Characters/character development: 6/10
'Romantic' relationships for MC: 1/10 (This is my biggest contention for wanting to drop this novel sadly. One of the females is a huge gaslighter, emotional *b*s*r, tries many times to drug MC to seduce him. She is one of the main side characters, so she isn't going away. It's tough to read what is written especially from someone who dealt with emotional abusers like that, author is treating it like a fetish. fyi, MC hasn't reprimanded her once yet and allows it to actively occur.)
Plot: 8/10
World building: 8/10
Imagery: 7/10
Enjoyment: 5/10
Overall: 5/10 (it's sad really, because author can cook up a good plot, but sucks at romance. One character ruins this novel.
