You only read the first volume and already passed judgment on the whole story? I'm sorry but that is just irresponsible. Not to mention that you are mostly wrong. I will agree that "lampoon" is probably overused but the rest is just wrong. Author doesn't explain MCs obsession to return? Why would he need to? That is purely natural human instinct. If the MC wanted to stay then you would need to have a reason and a very strong reason at that. And love interest? In a world of horror and mystery why would anyone have that as their priority when you can die without even knowing how, so she can kill him or be used against him in other ways? Not to mention that the entire plot from chapter 1 to chapter 1324 is only 3 years time in book, how would he have the time for a girlfriend. On your next point, ties to the world, MC is already very attached to the world which can be seen from his meddling with evil gods and saving the people he can save, not to mention the friends he finds later. Does only family mean ties to the world? Next is "boring revenge story", what do you mean boring? This is easily one of the greatest revenge stories ever written. MC is not some lunatic that goes head first for his target and is protected by plot armor, but plans and schemes how to get stronger, how to find his target and how to trap him without letting him know he is alive all the way until he puts a bullet in his head in chapter 945. And lastly what do you mean "nukes the cast"? The only one who died is the captain Dunn Smith and the MC. So how is killing one character "nuking"?
