Review Detail of ChronosMrk1 in Sword God in a World of Magic

Shallow. Would be how I'd describe this work if i had to use one word. The world building, including the history of the world and the current situation, is well thought out and complete. Some of the characters are interesting and have some hints of depth. Unfortunately the story itself and the MC falls flat. As much as the author tries to show how the MC struggles with his inevitable loss of humanity and moral degradation it's obvious where the story will go. And at the end of the day if the MC doesn't care about people or the world as a whole, is shallow and doesn't ever have any complex emotions other than anger and hate at his own powerlessness and the joy whrn he gets powerful as well as an internal weak struggle against killing first his enemies, then bystanders, then innocence, in a fashion that was obvious from the very beginning. It's like watching a meandering train wreck in slow motion; on a clear, unsightly track than you can see the start and end. And that's about as much emotional depth you'll ever get out of the MC with no exceptions. We see the world and the story through his eyes so as they are dull and grey the rest of the work takes the same hue. The MC wants power. Thats's it. They go over the question of "then what?" breafly but then it's casually glossed over and thrown aside. It's a immature mindset of people who haven't experienced enough to know the difference between the means and the ends. The MC is boring, tiresome and depressing and it unfortunately taints the work with these same features.
