I'd say that this novel is not good, well I would lie if I said if I said I disliked it all that much too (since I read to the end of human translated part and even read the chatgpt translated version). I am A-ok with power-fantasy type of LN, and some parts of the novel were good (like certain morality related questions to some extent), also characters that are supposed to be infuriating are indeed infuriating (author doesn't overuse this, so you don't get frustrated), some characters have quite interesting "frame" and backstory (not a lot, but it's something), there is a bit of gore at times (aka author is not that afraid to not mellow certain situations) and that's about it. Author failed to actually show some very important aspects of the story and integrate them into the said story (all you ever get is being told about them), the justifications of actions in some parts are rather subpar, the pacing of the second half of the story is all over the place and it is quite drawn out for no good reason (atleast when compared to the first half), there are quite a few of macguffins in second part of the story and the power balance is very inconsistent (as in some very powerfull enemies get introduced pretty much right after we got told that the priviously seen enemies are the best that they can do at this time, or the spell that is supposed to be "off the charts" by even strongest enemies standarts suddenly gets blocked by some current extra).All in all i'd say that it was meh, not as bad as some, not as good as some, so if you want some power fantasy to read you can go ahead and do just that (though i'd do that if it got translated fully), also don't expect that much follow up from the first half of the story (aka there will be no suffering for the MC, no grieving, no "survival", no "dark-grim" setting or any of the sort), so if you got lured in by the summary you'll have to reconsider.
