Alright gonna spoil some stuff, but here’s my honest thoughts. The first few beginning chapters I didn’t think I’d be able to get through. The POV shifts constantly, the grammar is poor, and even the character names are inconsistent. For example when the MC is in the adventurers guild, the clerk helping him tells him her name, Claire. Then the MC just goes “thanks Sara”. I honestly thought this was a joke, but it wasn’t even mentioned after that. I am glad I kept reading after the first few chapters though. The part where the MC joins the army by accident is very nice. I unexpectedly enjoyed it a lot and haven’t seen anything like it in an isekai before. The pacing and story are decent and actually held my attention, which is a rarity for something on webnovel. When the MC trains at the army with Sona and Tashin, I found the logistics a bit weird but it might just be me. Besides having an aid, why did Tashin go so far to teach the MC magic? He didn’t have much to gain from it and it felt like the MC was being singled out despite going on and on about how he didn’t want to be special. Same with Sona, her motive of seeing something in him is rather weak, why doesn’t she have other apprentices and train him alongside them? The two year part where the MC was being trained by Sona is also kind of weird. The pacing is way too fast and we skip over a lot of his growth. As soon as that part of the story is done he’s suddenly really good at fighting low-tier adventurers? I mean that’s fine and all but why not have more battles along the way that display his progress? Just so we can see a tiny piece of that growth. The latest few chapters where the MC is in the dungeon however, I kinda dislike. In all honesty, the pacing is absolutely terrible. I think most would get bored after several floors but skipping like eight floors at once and summarizing four in the same paragraph? I didn’t enjoy that. I think it was good to give a summary of them, but doing entire stories for the first two floors and then skipping ahead all at once really threw me off. Maybe shortening the floors would be better and then only summarizing a few? Obviously seeing the MC struggle is important, but seeing the same formula of battle over and over is boring. Those were my thoughts so far, I’ll keep reading since despite the obvious pacing flaws, the story in general is good. I think some of it should be reworked a little bit to be more cohesive but otherwise it kept me engaged most of the time. Would I recommend it to people? Probably not, this story has way too many flaws, but I think it has a strong foundation and it seems to have gotten better slightly in recent chapters so I guess theres that.
