This is a dull work unless you really enjoy stories with an OP protagonist. The writing and characters are never witty, the plot is a one dimensional flat line, the moral conflicts are black and white superficial problems suitable for middle schoolers. It reads as if author thinks adding in r*pe and mu*der makes the story deep.The first arc with the trials of the summoned is the stronger part of the series. There is intrigue with the different factions in the MC's group, the sub-plots with the supporters behind the scenes, as well as MC having to figure out a way to solve hard tasks while hiding his powers.I liked the dynamic that there was a group led by an idealistic leader who believed in distributing resources equally, but he had to deal with freeloaders leeching off his group. Then there was another group of houndlooms who have a strong leader with good work ethic. There's a bit where MC has to try to influence these groups like manipulating chess pieces.Unfortunately the author kills off most of them, including the supporters behind the scenes. This killed off the only good part of the story. After that MC is basically a one man plot solving everything easily, with random NPCs sprinkled into the mix. At this point the lackluster writing really shines through.
