This novel main problem is what its simply boring to read. Not that it don't have boring characters (everybody is simple like one dimensional painting) but novel itself read like some 5 year old diary where he describe his life as simply as possible without any character dialogue. 30 chapters in he talked to 3 people: his father, mother and local peddler (all unnamed) for grand total of 20 dialogues. World building flip flop between two extremes, either are non-existing (there for example we must deduce what people live in some sort of wood buildings since MC created brick shed and peddler was thinking it someones house) or going entire chapters of info dump. Characters is shallow as puddle of piss and as much endearing, since we know nothing about them. How they look, how they live, what they like and hate, all character exist as static prop to do things for MC then he need something to do. And since this novel writed from first person perspective we constantly read MC though there he sometime repeat his though over and over and over again with tons of useless information which no help whatsoever. Some review says what after chapter 50 it become decent but seriously tell me: do you want waste you time reading 50 chapter of mind numbingly boring dialogueless info dumps for are chance of in future it becoming less mind numbingly boring dialogueless info dumps or you go find something what interesting from start and don't waste your time and brain cells?
