The story starts out really well. The first 20 or so chapters are insanely narrative and very good. Once we get into the bulk of the story though, it starts to disappoint. The MC never educates himself to the world he is living in. The MC is an idiot and constantly misconstrues other characters meanings. The side characters are way more interesting then the MC. The side characters carry the story while the MC remains a joke. It was a very good read until the author turned up the stakes of the story, people dying around the MC, and then the MC remains ignorant. A fun story that became less fun over time and then turned into an annoyance. The story is a chore to read now. If you love passive and easily embarrasssd MCs that the FLs randomly fall in love with because “he’s the MC” you will like this book. Otherwise, you will question why a cultivation minded person(think murders) would find his timidness and aloofness endearing.
