The novel started off strong but sadly our MC becomes a version of Mary Sue character where he just happens to gain skill with the pretext of multiple years passing by. They just mention that he somehow got the knowledge of medicine, information gathering, assassination and ‘face manipulation’ techniques due to years of experience but somehow can’t make the bare minimum progress in learning martial arts?Also, since we brush through all the years of experience, I kind of felt disconnected from the emotions that the MC feels because I only the surface level info told to me that the learned a new skill in ‘n’ number of years. No built up, reasoning or motivation for learning the skill is given. Also as the story progresses, I feel more distant from the story. It feels more like a summary of the MC’s regression turns until we reach the very end of the regression cycle.I am dropping this for now and will come back if I have nothing else to read.
