I feel this novel is not fit for impatient people, those who have not realised the novel has 500+ chapters and have just stayed at chapter 80+ not even letting the characters develop.MC is a weak (strength wise) *, low self-esteemed character who grew up in a toxic environment and was taken advantage of others (and mocked) so often leading to his own social isolation.*Maybe a spoiler, but it's a lie that the Necromancer situation doesn't get a development. Again, if you're impatient enough to drop the story before that part, that is your problem, don't come here to slander the author saying they didn't explore MC's ability more, because that's not true. He gets more abilities, more understanding of what s Necromancer should do the risks and also the advantages, but once again progressively. People say he's a whiney push-over, when in fact, he's just a broken person too scared to let himself open again to the world to be hurt.Maybe a spoiler (? And, again, MC stops having to rely so much on his servants and starts to find himself patterns of attack and ways to solve instances and defeat monsters without having to engage in close combat.Some people love the OP MC, weak to strong in 20 chapters MC, or the "was hurt and then blackened to become a merciless OP MC" troupes.Yet this is not it. MC is hurt and has not been given even a second to heal before he's thrown more and more problems, burdens and things that just wreck his mental health.For those people saying MC is a weakling white lotus, could you take what MC has taken? Without breaking down? Without wanting to cuddle and cry you eyes out? Personally, I wouldn't.MC has yet to be put through so many hardships, we're still at the beginning of the story. MC has yet to have his character development, can't you give him a chance?I'm currently at chapter 213 and I want to say, his character development IS starting, so for god's sake, be patient.Not every MC can be your OP, strong-willed, determined MC, from the begining. Give Lee-kyung a chance.MC's personality (Yes, he has one) : He has a low self-esteem, fears people disliking him. He doesn't dare to stand his ground in front of his servants but scolds them internally. Cherishes interpersonal relationships like gold. May seem slow, but once he is explained what's happening he understands it real quick. Has been hurt so he has many insecurities. He can be chunnibyou at time. Tends overthink a lot! He is super sympathetic/empathetic. Looks forward to becoming better everyday and pushes himself harder than anyone because of this, to the point of overworking himself and damaging his health. Has the strength to withstand many mental blows, even if he seems to have a weak mind. He doesn't have the highest adaptability, but after sometime he forces himself to digest and overcome his trauma. He's a devoted person who just needs some counseling, some love and some people telling him he's done his best and has done great, because no one does it. (Besides MC progress is pressed down at all times, information is being kept from him, he is constantly lied to, the people around him mansplain, manipulate and gas light him every day, he is told to do better when he's done his best and is never comforted when he feels he's about to break down, how could he possibly grow in those circumstances?) ML's personality (Surprise! He does have one too!) : He overthinks a lot, is a manipulator and has a tendency to control which is often addressed by his teammates and MC himself. Is considerate in his own strange way (? though his consideration may not be seen as such by others... He loves his teammates really much, he's s good leader, though not the greatest. He is a god-level gas lighter alongside his teammates, I'm not here to defend him. He's smart and many times he's an a**hole, he can deduce a whole plot having little information. Is not the best person teaching and has a strange love for money (? Can do anything to achieve his goals, he is determined and super strong-willed. Besides much of his personality is twisted due to some external issues explainer in the story.As for ML, yes, I don't like him that much, but hey! They're not even together yet, MC is still discovering (thoroughly, because he has been doing so all the story), how much of a manipulative scum ML can be.- Side characters are well (greatly) developed.- The story is well thought.- The plot is engaging.- The world building is mind blowing.-It has foreshadowing.- The character development is prepared for throughout the story, though it start to actually develop until later-And the writing is immersing.Do you really want to give up such a great story for being impatient and not letting the story (500 ch long) take its flow? For the MC not having a character development in the early 80+ chapter which are only about a fifth of the story?I mean, in my opinion, that is a pity. I love this story and I feel regretful watching so many people dropping it for not being able to understand how a character/plot development works.That's all I have to say for the time being, I'll be adding thins as the story progresses.
