This is a typical face-slapping novel with the twist that it is very slow-burn, but this just doesn't work. Face-slapping is a two-stages process. First, the injustice, the looking down on the protagonist, etc. That is then followed by the face slap.Is it better if a plot or character is properly fleshed out before the face-slapping occurs? Sure, but it misses the point of face-slapping when most of it revolves around the protagonist being wronged with very little payoff or actual face slapping.
