I hate this.Yes, let's get that out of the way. I hate this.That's not to say I've always hated it, at first I liked it and looked forward to more. But then... sigh... I don't even know where to start.Let's start with the most glaring problem. I don't believe in labelling anyone Beta, but if I am to give the award of Beta MC Of The Year, it would've been this guy. Despite having the power to destroy a country, he takes every ab*se like a sissy. At first I justified it as just him being loyal and emotionally sterile, but the events that he went through should've made even Gandhi snap and go nuclear!Then his childhood friend and his little sister appeared. I can understand being afraid of his little sister's hate, and I don't deny that some really timid people will not speak the truth in that kind of circumstance. Yet, his circumstance is severe, him being hated by his sister because they were separated by their parents divorce, and his little sister has been thinking of her real older brother as the worse scum ever, and he knows this, yet he does nothing. Which brother wouldn't feel pained when his little sister think of him in such a bad way, yet it was not true? Surely no matter how timid or awkward you are, you would try to correct the mistakes. But unlike normal people, he did not. He kept being there, knowing that his little sister hate his guts.Then when given a choice of whether or not to tell his childhood friend about the truth, he instead chose to send a letter when he's been living with her for months. A LETTER! TELL HER DIRECTLY YOU DUMB p**sy! And then someone said that there would a be NTR, where the hero ripped apart his letter and his childhood friend followed the hero because the hero lied to her stating that the MC hated her.I didn't want to read that. If even without NTR the story had been terrible, what would happen once you put an NTR in a terrible story, where you have grown attached to the pu*sy MC for the past 100 chapters? So of course, I stopped reading it.After chapter 40 or so, there was not a chapter go by that I didn't say, "What the hell?" Reading this is a very painful experience. Not painful because of the tragedy within the story, but painful because I had to read about this train-wreck of a protagonist that is a contradiction all over the place. It's like the author just read some other people's stories and copied those scenes thinking it would work, but it didn't.
