Ask yourself a few questions: 1. How would different governments approach superpowers of their own people and those of foreign nationals? 2. How would other nations react to nobles of a foreign power murdering nobles of their own nation? 3. In a political structure like the devils (power hungry, bloodline-focused nobles), how would they check and balance themselves from murdering each other, especially when there are 3 major factions internally and 2 historically war-like factions externally (heaven and grigori) to consider? These are not the only questions, but they should help guide the world building. Right now, your plotline plays out like everyone is happy to see the righteous lawyer obliterate their interests and assasinate their leaders.

The beginning is deceiving. The book’s less about action and mostly about smut.

It’s 20 chapters in and he’s still 2 years old. The story’s just a collection of raging angst stories of someone who clearly thinks he was an adult, but clearly wasn’t. It’s really slow and painful. The author isn’t walking us through his suffering; we’re crawling painfully slow. The good side is the exploration of how miserable quirk development can be for powerful quirks in childhood, but… there’s such a thing as balancing development and fun. This book isn’t fun to read.

It’s unnatural to have a flaw? It’s not a good stumbling block for tha flaw to be someone who looks up to you and you feel you can’t disappoint? Would it be unnatural for let’s say… Deku to do something rash and self-compromising for Eri? While Eri’s an extreme example, the same principle applies. If the relationship is developed right, this type of potentially heroic self-mutilation is perfectly natural.

Do what you gotta do. One good thing about more frequent, shorter chapters is the reduced likelihood of writers block. When you have long spaced out chapters and life delays writing, well… many stories have ended that way. Glad to hear you’re trying to make it work.

I disagree. A misunderstanding plot is the perfect way to trip up an OP character like him. A straight up brawl won’t, but a challenge that exploits the shadow soldier’s weakness works very well. I just think the author could’ve set it up far more before resolving it. It could’ve been a core lesson on why he’s not S rank, missing the spirit of doing guild missions.

One of the better novels on this platform. That said, the author frequently forgets earlier developments and makes the MC pretty dim. The MC frequently references pulling common knowledge from his previous world, but is always caught off guard when he gets to another cliche development. Whether it be learning magic, going through hardship, or even learning magic, the MC forgets the lessons he’s learned and always gets humbled for something that isn’t true. I got to chapter 85. It was fun at first, but these quirks get really old.

The book is only on chapter 5.5 at time of reading. Maybe I’ve just read too many of the type, but I’m not too big a fan of the whole ‘government cut up the MC’ type of AU. Solo Leveling’s association is pretty laid back. This kind of reminds me of Pokemon fanfics where the Pokemon League is evil or ‘Evil Hiruzen’ in Naruto fanfics. I’ll pass.

Wow… you have a pretty dim view of the government, huh? That’s a major tone shift from solo leveling’s actual leadership style.
