I've read 295 chapters. Initially I liked the story. MC is ruthless. After reading some chapters I started to see some discrepancies. Sure MC is sacrificing quite a few years of life and gaining some temporary boosts but how is he going to cover this loss of life years(I mean he mentioned that as ranking grows mage will receive new years of life. Other than this does MC has any template of how he is going to address this issue?). He said he wants to aim for the top of the world but in story I believe so far 4 star mage is only mentioned. I still wonder why did Marcel and Zak spent so much money on MC because there is no free lunch in the world. Is there is a concept of immortality in the novel? I might sound bickering but as a reader after some chapters i've felt like MC persona is becoming bland. He is going to fight higher level mages by sacrificing his life years.

LIKETrue. We don’t need any immediate solution as it might be a spoiler. The author should atleast do a foreshadow so that as a reader we might atleast keep a tab on the issue like “okay even though MC wastes lifespan he might have a backup idea to use for fixing the lifespan problem”. When the author delays addressing the issue from a readers perspective it doesn’t look good. Hopefully he might address the issue in the next chapters. As for me For now I stopped reading this. I will look for any reviews whether the author fixed this or not otherwise it’s a big no no for me.
