This novel and author imo does not deserve a high rating, probably a 2 or 3, but I rate it a 4 because the story isn't the worse but enough to be entertained. The translator is also good at what he does and a good guy. I have read this author's other works including Son-Con and Commander and it is obvious to see that this author in general loves the type of MCs you see in Japanese novels that will usually bend their knees when a pretty woman is involved and will usually take ab*se from a woman especially if they're pretty without retaliating too much except with small protests or thoughts.To be fair, this novel is not as bad as the other two works of the author, especially Son-Con. The MC here is at least a BIT more respectable, but just a tiny bit. The author attempts to make the MC seem smart and crafty due to his life and experience, but the problem is the author tries to revolve the world around him and make everything go at the MCs pace, making everything fall into place for the MC. The other characters however, are way more interesting and this makes me keep reading because they are the type of characters that grow throughout the novel. The MC acts irregularly sometimes, but his character is persistent as one thing that stays the same about him is his "passion" to abandon everything for his "family" no matter how s*upid. It's not unbelievable, as I think most people would probably do the same if they find something they truly care about.
