Usually love Cornbringers stories, but on this one the mc feels....incomplete, he barely acts like a actual person and more of a comment than anything else. Lose thoughts inserted into a story and sold as a character. Which is disappointing. Rest is of usual quality, well made, just if the main character isn't that good it pulls the rest down as well.

LIKEI agree, I think author was trying to go for the 'broken' mc trait due to his histroy but it becomes pretty hard to read at points and mc feels a bit aimless, if he was a normal dude and not every scene or arc constantly giving a sense of how much the guy struggles and how much mystery surrounds his unknown past and future it would make for a much better read, it also does not help that despite how much the guy works at getting stronger there is always someone stronger than him in the next arc, usually several of them making his progression seem stagnant, the character relationships and friendships he has going are very well portrayed but there is also minor issues like forced plot convenience like a xianxia trope often seen 'The Roach Villain' who just keeps coming back with the mc saying the line "You do that again and I will kill you", guy does it again and the same thing repeats multiple times, author has even said that he can't just kill the guy or he will have to fight someone he has no way of beating but why even cause the guy to be constantly after the mc to begin with? He's not an idiot young master who MUST kill the mc at all costs or even at all, heck they could even be friends but it ends up reading like he is because the plot demands it for no meaningful purpose besides needing someone to constantly put mc on edge.
