So the MC really does apologise a lot. However, if you maintain the idea in your mind that “Lewin was severely ab*sed, told he was worthless tr*sh every day, and made to own up to nonexistent ‘mistakes’ for years” this becomes a lot easier to understand and skim through as needed.Though I gotta say, along with other reviewers, that the apologising DOES get to be a little much, especially towards the end of the 2nd volume (c302) when you’d think he would ease off of such behavior just a wee bit. The issue is that it frankly starts feeling more like cultural thing so in your head you start going “ab*sed, ab*sed, he was ab*sed, and they’re just being polite, yep, just roll with it.” Thankfully there’s at least 1-2 characters who sharply cut him off, and at least one character has told him that he apologises or thanks people too much, but no one has yet sat him down to try and make him become more self aware and force some character growth.As someone who used to apologise too much for similar reasons, it’s easy to understand but not so easy to read, admittedly.Otherwise, I’m enjoying the story though I sorta wish the end of Vol 2 felt like less of a forced plot.

I do love a good potential training montage, but dead characters should stay dead and provide character growth vs. Initialising a “find a miracle resurrection herb” plot.
[collapse] Though not that I’m completely hating the forced changes of scenery. I just hope Lewin meets more characters - he has this “I don’t want to trouble anyone” personality except it’s other people who force him to grow the fastest. When he tries to do things on his own, he’s slow af.
