Better than average, far from masterpiece. Plot and character development start OK, but seems to halt post ch. 100. Before this point MC had plan other than just get stronger. He tested thing, gathered information and made plans how he wanted to progress, but after chapter 100 there is non of it until ch. 167 which is last chapter at the time i am writing this. In those chapters MC just becomes observer in plot and goes with anything while opportunities to get stronger just shower him like no tomorrow without any contribution from himself. And any setbacks get resolved in mater of few chapters with MC getting stronger in process this ties up to... Another issue, tension, that just does not exist post separation with his mother. Since if only thing MC risk is his life in story like this, it is clear that he will survive otherwise there would be no book. That is why risk to other people / things he gets attached to is only real risk in stories like this (that are not like game of thrones where anyone can die) and that is only true if he actually loses something. That could have been done with his party during first dungeon if we didn't get dragon POV explaining that he actually didn't lose anything. Followed by his fox being at risk if it ever shows up again. But as it stands now there are no risk.

LIKENo...It is made pretty clear in last free chapter that he has to go solo for a while. Though he is already not solo since underworld arc and already meets his mother and Luna and new companions that will last until end. But you got no patience to see him develop, welp. It's just matter of preferences :). I can only say that you are missing out on a good story since you liked first 55 chaps and once his solo endeavors over (at chapter 118 at earliest and then permanent after chapter 162) you will see how much the story improves.
XxErnestoxX:I stopped the moment separation happend because of exactly this reason. There is no tension when mc is just solo. The free chapters are such a bait because the moment it goes premium everything you like changes lol.
