Here is my problem with this novel. I am actually a fan of weak protagonists overcoming adversities, so I had high expectations when I started reading this. That concept is nice when the level gap is at a reasonable distance. You can't keep, though, your protagonist too weak for over 100 chapters with no substantial growth, especially when allies and enemies keep on becoming stronger. Although the MC has somehow found means to fight against his enemies over the course of the story, the only reason he does well until now is that his enemies are too s*upid and because of the plot armor.Spoiler
In reality, even goblins can kill him with a well-planned surprise attack, and the reason is simple. Except for his elementary water magic, the powers of the MC are all based on external factors. In other words, his power is too inconsistent, and most importantly, he requires too much time to prepare his magic, or else he can't deal damage to anything because of his pathetic stats. I believe the author didn't want to put the assassin's profession in the novel exactly for this reason. The most absurd thing for me is when he tries to gather the spirits and prepare for his spells. His enemies usually are just watching him, idle.
[collapse]Well, I don't like to be unfair, so I'll keep reading it for a while, hoping it will get better. I have other complaints too, especially regarding the characters, but I'll leave it to that.
