Annoyingly decent is a great way to describe this book. The constant contradictions in character and overall logic absolutely ruin the atmosphere of the Witcher universe and this book as a whole(He almost loses in a sword fight to some arrogant prince because, in the authors eyes, "nobodies perfect" while trying to make him more human. Which sure, i agree no ones perfect, but he is a WITCHER not a human, he will hear and smell the guard behind him(in full metal plate might i add, very loud btw) before he goes to attack him. Dialogue and personality of the MC is mundane and forced (robotic) so theres not much going for character development. Some issues with grammar here and there but its still very good, especially when it's not the authors first language which i was impressed with. Author also can't take criticism to save his life, making commenting trying to help with absolutely stupid decisions or dialogue tiring ,when you are an invested reader trying to help them improve.

Everything is logical, he is not even 30 years old, we were not told that he has a huge talent in swordsmanship, have you read the original work? Even Geralt, after Kaer Morhen, was not the "best" swordsman and could really fight with 3-5 adult men, but no more, and here is a prince who has noble blood in his blood and the talent of many abilities and swordsmanship from the smallest return, it is quite clear that they are equal. The author even said that the witcher is clearly stronger physically, as for me everything is logical here, I won't say anything about the character, there are practically no works on the site where there is at least something that you described above, critic.
The author forgoes his own logic and The Witcher universes logic when it suits him, add the fact that in The Witcher book series anything to do with the pathetic attempt he calls a fight would never happen. Talent vs extreme training by masters of the sword who kill creatures that make humans look like ants... yeah he should not be having any sort of trouble in a 1v1 dual of swordsmanship with his training alone... Then we add his mutations to that. I.E can predict movements,(through muscle twitches) smell and hear everything around them down to the worm in the soil, and superhuman strength and mobility. Wheres the logic here bud?
