I really enjoyed the novel at the beginning as it was unique and the protagonist very interesting. The world building is fantastic and the world itself is very vast.The reason I give 3.7:stars is solely because the author is lazy. The superhuman strenght of the protagonist has no background and everyone just accepts the fact that a man is capable of feats of strenght even 12 men wouldn't be able to do.I can live with that but what really annoys me is the usual genius trait. The characters fly to the protagonist because "he's different from the other nobles, he's so mature and he's so brave when he cuts down hundreds of men".a feature I really like is the parallels you can draw to real history. For example a large part of the chapter 100+ seems to play in southern italy and you can compare it with the norman conquest of southern italy.Despite the aforementioned negative aspects I would encourage everyone to read it as it is different and qualitatively better than many other novels. Judge for yourselves.
