[Just some rambling from a frustrated reader...]Been on and off trying to read this novel for at least 5 or 6 times since 2018 and it gets so boring each time... Unfortunately I can't understand how so many reviews are five stars...It gets quite repetitive as all the fights doesn't lead to anything at all, we all know MC will survive with no sequela and the same goes for the dragon, magician and swordsman...After 400 chapters almost nothing have changed... Does his political or business acumen increase after getting recognized as a national/ continental hero? Does his domain and title gets elevated? Does his proficiency in magic or sword increase? Does he recruit / train soldiers or increase anything at all?The plot and the MC's personality may sound intriguing, but be warned for he is no tr*sh at all, even though the author "tells" us he is a tr*sh / the MC thinks of himself as a tr*sh, he doesn't "show" us any of it. He is most likely the most active person in the world, scheming behind the scenes, teleporting everywhere, catching familiars, allies and items (as if we are playing a RPG game where the hero party is slowly crawling towards the "demon 'wannabe-god' castle").The biggest flaw is that the author often "tells" us what will happen through the MC's inner monologue, thereby letting the reader know what will happen 10/20 or even 30 chapters in advance... As the saying goes: "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." I guess this is the main reason I stop reading...On the other hand the most likely reason I come back to this novel is because of Raon's schtiks... The interaction between the characters and the comedy is praiseworthy~
