Seeing these five-star reviews once again, I thought someone should write about the problems of this novel and give a truthful assessment.I write after reading 100 chapters. It was a good start. I liked the classic world of magic, but the story lacks depth. We are not told much about the politics, culture, economy of the Kingdoms and the Empire, basically everything is limited to a couple of sentences like "the s*ave trade is flourishing in the Kingdom and the cast structure is strong" it is difficult to form some kind of map in your head. On the contrary, some situations are given more attention than expected, such as an attack on the commander of the empire by the comrades of the main character. The characters are also superficial. In my mind, I called them Teacher A, Rector B, Student C. After all, they are all a blurred background. The friends of the main character not better, except that they were given a couple of sentences more description, but in general they are ordinary puppets relying on the brain of the main character. I do not understand why the author decided to separate them if there is no reason for this. The main problem is the main character. He's too wise. Not to be confused with smart. It's like he's had the experience of a 40-year-old. At 4 years old, damn it. His mindset is like that of an adult. The conclusions he comes to don't make sense at his age. The character does not learn this gradually, but initially has a ridiculous insight not inherent in a child. In the last chapters, author tried to humanize the main character by imposing two boring children. After that, I couldn't bear to keep reading.
