I am SO IMPRESSED! Definitely one of the best novels out there. Pro 1- very non stereotypical characters who are all 3D, the bad guys arnt just bad, they have families and aspirations etc and the good guys arnt some saints 2- the character development is fantastic! The main character starts off as a cynical, borderline serial killer type and slowly grows overtime and continues to face new growth hurdles just like all the other characters in the book 3- the level of complexity of the world,magical system, enchanted items, society is simply amazing 4- there is a main plot from the main charachter’s point of view but are many smaller plots and you get to experience the story from the POV of several characters, including bad guys. Also, the level of political complexity is interesting 5- The story goes through several sagas and eventually goes into open world exploration with more sagas 6- the female characters in the book are very strong and are not co dependent on their male counterparts. There is a nice balance 7- healthy dose of comical chapters that have me laughing out loud in public 8- good themes that are well represented- romance, bullying, family, empathy, greed, human brutality, hard work to name a few Cons 1- slow burn at first but well worth the wait bc it takes a while to set things up 2- the level of magical complexity and how the main character levels up is a bit beyond me at times but doesnt detract from the main storyline

He does, but not in the first arc after thr academy he starts to change. He still is a cheap sourpuss is many ways but he is less psyco killer like and actually develops a community around him that he cares for. Happens super slow. Solus also develops slowly too which is nice

ike Esdeath in Akame ga Kill, shes easily my favorite character of the show. Actually now that I thinn about it, there were very few enemies in that show that were actually evil, they were either mentally ill, good people tricked into doing bad things, or just people doing what they think is right just like the main character

Can anyone tell if this is going to turn into a harem? I just read up to chapter 129 and absolutely love the anti-hero MC and I'm routing that MF characters Solus will be is true and only love so I'm not into any other female characters and obsessive love and MC has to accept otherwise girl will be broken hearted. Please tell because I don't want to invest more time and then find out is a harem. I'll be the one broken hearted, it's not my genre. If anyone wants to know the reason I'm asking is because is not part of the #tag otherwise I wouldn't started reading it.

Many of the main FL characters have feelings for Lith but it’s not really a harem. It’s quite realistic actually and he chooses not to be with them for very realistic reasons. Also some of them move on and find their own partners that they are happy with and have their own story development which is nice. I’d keep reading. People end up with people you would never expect :-)

Thank you so much for answering my question I will definitely keep reading as I find realistic and very well written. One think I also like is that author doesn't keep reminding us how Lith behaviour is due to his past like many authors out every so many sentences they keep telling "if this was int he past, so ans so wouldn't do this... And so on" I absolutely love this book and will recommend to anyone who likes real emotions and MC not always the one who rescues or is out of his confort zone.

Great fantasy story full of mages and magic using beings. The Author does a fantastic job of combining a fairly complex magic system with a pretty simple concept of power levels. The Author uses this to write battles with realistic (in terms of the world) twists and out comes. When the MC and an antagonist come to blows and their of “equal strength” the MC does win just because of some “MC plot-armor bullsh*t” it’s because the Author laid down the groundwork for why he learned and obtained the skills and abilities to pull through. Even when someone does manage to seemingly pull some solution out of their a*s it’s because the Author left the information and reasonings behind in primitive chapters that were (mostly on purpose) meant to be overlooked as unimportant. Characters and character development is always one of the most important things to look at for in any story. In this both aspects are pretty straightforward. The MC has a lot of dark sh*t happen to him in the prologue & start of the series and that leaves us with a very untrusting and paranoid protagonist who is also severely protective of those who are are close to him. The main theme of the story is that the MC is going about his life while gaining strength in various ways in order be able to protect those he cares about and fulfill a few spoiler related goals while his interactions with those around both help and hinder him from slowly opening up to others. The Author does a good job of providing scenarios that that the MC has to contemplate while balancing his law of the jungle and his moral/human side in order to survive both physically and mentally. This series is not a “black & white” story by any means and would recommend it to any high fantasy loving reader.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... Disclaimer: I'd received a few complaints from some readers that my MC is not a real villain, and I have to agree; if you're looking for some complete psycho MC who burns random farmer villages down just for fun then don't read. The MC is a ruthless man who does evil things from time to time, but only to his enemies or those he considers to be true scum. He gains no joy from tormenting strangers. Also don't read if you want a story about buying s*x slaves and r*ping them, that doesn't happen in this novel. He will treat the women he wants to be with as if they were normal people, whether they're slaves or not.
