So I’ve been reading this LN for almost 5 years now. The release schedule for chapters and is sporadic to say the least, but I’m not going to focus on that. The overall story is slow. Painfully so at times, and a real chore in the beginning. The MC isn’t overpowering, but adequately strong enough to call him a protagonist. The story likes to kill characters off just to prove a point that it’s dark and less for plot. The biggest reason why I still read this LN is because I like that the MC still tries to do the right thing and even in the most traumatic situations, and it’s a nice twist to see that even when he loses consistently. It’s not always entertaining for me to see the MC muscle his way through situations (though he does do this a few times) just to show off how powerful he is. I like that he struggles, loses, but gets better. It’s how often he picks himself up from failure that really makes me read on to see how he develops to the end. There is no real romance if you are looking for that. Overall I recommend this story if you like world building and can deal with a slow but developing MC that tries to do what he thinks is right in the some awful situations.
