I dropped it in chapter 134, so the review is obviously up there.The characters and the story are clichéd and without depth, but it's something common in this type of literature (a drunk who sells the castle's lighting to buy booze completely changes his personality and vices and nobody thinks it's strange? The goddess of alchemy working as a maid for two years for someone she hates and despite the powerful father, he sends a bodyguard who at the time was weak to protect someone that any nation would do anything to get their hands? Yes, sure...).But here the lack of human reactions/emotions from the MC and other characters makes the history worse... and to make it even worse the MC just reacts to what happens around him and has no goals...Does he want to expand his empire? No, he just react to aggression (which usually doesn't make sense) to counterattack and conquer territories.Does he want to gather his brides? No, on the contrary, they are the ones who, thanks to the plot, go after him.Do you want to get or beat the parents who abandoned the MC? No.The only thing he does is follow the system blindly, without the ability to make decisions of his own.Another point is his lack of character or humanity... Basically in chapter 133 he killed millions of innocents (whether men, women, children, babies, passing travelers, merchants...) for something he saw in a dream?! And immediately after that he makes a joke using hid intellectual level equivalent to a 5 year old child with the "bride" he called but forgot because he was busy doing genocide. The author must have put this in as comic relief, but it's so stupid it's pathetic instead of funny...I had already seriously thought about dropping it when, a few chapters before, the MC in 2 minutes of conversation decided to kill all the officers of a guild (at the time he killed the two leaders) of merchants and stole all their goods, because they had more soldiers than allowed and have been disrespectful and arrogant, and to make matters worse the other merchants of the nation are worried but then they are calm when the king "explains" why he did it, without presenting proof or without making a judgment... who would entrust their money and your life to such a king and government as this? Not even in the Middle Ages would kings do something so stupid. I had hope that the story would get better, but everything (both the story and the intelligence of the characters) got even worse.
I know this is OP MC novel, but can the MC be like have a bit more maturity.I'm on ch 50 atm, but the cringe lines almost make me drop this, well I still reading it just for the fun *and sometimes laugh* so its OKish I guess.For those who like OP MC and sudden str gain, I guess this is a decent read.
