who is talking but that might just be me (also is there a discord if there is one can anyone throw a link my way many thanks in advance)
While the book has many positives, what i couldnt enjoy or relate to was the MC’s behavior. He is quite apathetic about life and has no desire for anything. He is enslaved and tortured numerous times yet bears no anger or thoughts about getting stronger. He does the bare minimum to survive and would have died countless times if it werent for his absurd bloodline. He also loses his friends/family (that we grow to like) and barely has any emotional reaction to it.
I get that the author wanted him to be a flawed character who grows up through his trials and tribulations, but theres a point when it becomes too much. Especially when the character refuses to learn from his mistakes. I tried to excuse it saying he’s still a child, but after 200 chapters, I’m starting to really dislike the MC.
1. Forgetable/Mobs characters receive to much words and in certain cases their traits and mannerisms becomes indistinguishable from the main character. The way the writer writes dialogue further exacerbates this, making it hard for readers to distinguish between characters - especially during dialogue.
2. The MC becomes aware of knowledge that he should not be aware of. This can be easily fixed by simply indicating that he is not aware of this and that this is the knowledge of the future MC bleeding into he’s own recounts of his past, because technically the MC is writing his own story about his past self. The author is fixing this in later chapters.
Those two points are my bigest criticisms.
The protagonist himself is quite fascinating biologically, and more often than not seems to take the path of least resistance, and his system isn't over powered but is very relevant. And the world he resides in both scares the stuffing out of me and sets my heart aflutter whith all the monsters and ancient cultureal and mythological references. And also people(s) in this story? They are realistically barbaric and suck as people and monsters do, and I am pulled in by it all.
It feels like a was rambling.
