Alright, let's get started with positives. The writing is good and the plot of the story is slow and interesting, developing characters very well. reading it in big chunks is the ideal way of reading the book and rewarding. The MC and the world are not nice and something you can appreciate and you do not see the MC find one hard to find treasure after the other. The first arc was great and showed the life of common people and the second arc showed the life of wealthier nobles and it continues on shining light on the world. Worldbuilding is good. MC and Juno's relationship is quite unique and interesting. The goddess's introduction and interference are annoying but an element that shows there is more growth than that MC needs to undergo. Now on the negatives. He does experience trauma and his character becomes more sadistic, but his response to Marana, Dinah's sister (Alice I think) and some other characters are less than adequate. He does have enough clear thinking to understand them and pushing them away from harm's way but he does the opposite many times, makes it hard to accept his actions. While the people who treated you badly you can screw with, not those that cared for you. Even worst his treatment of those that fu%k with him is very friendly and nice, while those that appreciate him and care for him are used by him. If the people that would stick around are a*sholes, is it even worth caring about his future if it only consists of the worst people in the empire with mental issues? The goddess's interference in every one of his action gets a bit annoying at times, while a limited amount is good for the story but the constant appearance makes one think what is the point of this if all of this will be later screwed by the goddess anyway. The intrigue no longer lies with the result of his action, but how the goddess will ruin it. Another positive is the Comedy of Dick Baker. This did bring a change to the story and was integrated wonderfully, The Arc removed some of the extra gloom from the story. The MC going deeper and deeper in darkness was no longer interesting. Another negative his way of only being happy in someone's misery constantly happens too often. He only gets happy and aroused to see someone miserable. Once in a while, if he does get happy of his own violation, it would be nice. Overall, it is a unique story and an interesting read. You do have to read a chunk of it to get a better understanding of the plot and do not judge it quickly because there is more to it.
