Review Detail of benevida in The First Order

I like a clever main character. A man or woman in a dangerous world that uses caution and pluck to make their way. Luckily, so does this author. It also lessens the fun when their is no real danger or worthy adversary. But their is here. The villains, while admittedly filled with hubris, are capable and deadly. In fact, central characters die and the main character is badly injured. It feels satisfying when the hero overcomes because he's actually earned it. And, importantly, the main character is not the most clever protagonist. I think his girlfriend is. What he does have, above any other character, is grit. He embodies the doggedness of a Sherman tank. That alone, would make for a good story. But the humor with which the author peppers the story, makes it great. Sometimes the humor is unintentional. That's my favorite way to laugh. But often it is, as the main character's only perfect proficiency is literally in, 'annoying others'. What most attracts me to the story though, is that it takes itself seriously. Most of the adults act like adults, and the children act like children. There is an air of maturity to the storytelling that really pulls me in. I began reading this story when in only had around 200 translated chapters. The translation was fantastic, but I tend to read quickly, and I knew I would quickly reach the latest translation. But realizing that I enjoyed this writer's style, I investigated, and I found Spare Me, Great Lord!. I began plowing through that, and I was not disappointed. I didn't like it quite as much as I have come to love, The First Order, but it was a fantastic read. Now, as that novel has been fully translated, I am back here, and eagerly awaiting every new release. This novel is currently in my top 5.
