War hero. The strongest in the world.
Those are the epithets of the protagonist I created in my novel.
Now I have to catch and destroy that bastard.

The story does not make him seem foolish for dramatic effect; instead, any misunderstandings among the characters stem from humorous and light-hearted situations. His lack of intimacy with female leads does not label him a "eunuch"; their romantic development has been minimal, so the complaint is unfounded. Plus, he's still grieving the loss of his past love.
He does not attempt to control or manipulate events to fit the original plot; rather, he works behind the scenes to maintain stability without altering the course. The narrative does not paint him as purely good; the world depicted is nuanced with shades of gray. A particular scene mentioned by another reviewer shows the enemy kingdom planning to assassinate a ruthless empire general, putting countless lives at risk. The MC intervenes to save lives and preserve potential future benefits, preventing a war from resurfacing.
I find it disingenuous that the other reviewer criticized that scene out of context, misunderstanding the story's themes and circumstances. Give the story a chance; it boasts well-developed characters, numerous humorous moments, engaging character dynamics, and thrilling moments for the protagonist. Overall, it's an enjoyable reading experience.
Additionally, there are complaints about the character development, suggesting it's the MC's fault for their flaws. However, the author reminds us that the characters are mere creations, tools in the protagonist's story, not autonomous individuals. This dynamic might evolve as the story progresses, forcing the MC to confront the reality of his characters and grow emotionally.
Overall, the book is solid, with only a minor annoyance in the form of misunderstandings that are handled well enough to remain tolerable. The inclusion of a mysterious third party and the anticipation of the second continent add excitement to the plot.
His behavior is confusing and contradictory. He tolerates a spy heroine who tries to poison him (a false accusation), yet fiercely rejects the approach of a saintly heroine, perceiving her as a threat to his plans. This inconsistency becomes apparent in how he deals with conflicts: instead of addressing issues proactively, he takes unnecessary risks, like endangering everyone's lives to deal with explosions or protecting a cruel general at the cost of innocent lives due to the opposing side's desperation.
The novel currently lacks depth, with the MC being passive and inconsistent, the protagonist portrayed as a heartless killing machine, the academy inefficient, the kingdom faction cowardly and cruel, and the empire faction arrogant and cruel. The heroines are the only redeeming aspect since they haven't committed any extreme actions yet, but the author's hope for them to bring reason to the story seems uncertain. Overall, the narrative appears to be a messy and unlikable mess.
