My main problem is that MC is an idiot. He is someone who shouts " I am sovereign" and makes enemies left and right. Does someone becomes a sovereign if they believe they are a sovereign? No. Does a king makes enemies left and right? No. MC should have the Dao to be the sovereign but not sovereign right now.(Sovereign ascension) Another point is that although he keeps shouting he is awesome, he is a pawn dancing to the tunes of others. He is basically a puppet who doesn't even understand that he is a puppet. Although there is character development, MC doesn't seem to learn although our Author tells us he does learn from each experience. In the first arc he suffered due to Greed but still does the same in even volume 4/5. He willingly join schemes of others due to his arrogance. Author also destroyed both follower characters. In the beginning, they had a serious disposition, but turned into clowns "perhaps dues to MC's dao".

It's harder to fall asleep than when you just lay down
