I've read 80 chapters and the story so far is pretty good. There are a few times when the MC fumbles and makes some novice errors that are out of character based on the MCs past so the author sometimes forces events to his/her desire instead of letting them develop based on the characters knowledge, skills, and personality but it hasn't been too bad even though it is irksome and a little jarring when it happens. The reason I am dropping is because the MC is a psychopathic maniac with a murder addiction. I am unable to identify with or like or respect the MC. I am aware that there are many who like and/or admire this sort of character because they wish they could be that unbridled, tyrannical, and uncontrolled. I just don't find criminally insane to be a desirable personality trait for an MC. If you like or can tolerate this kind of MC then you will probably really like this novel. The story itself is good so far but the MC is just not to my taste.

In simple terms, this is a GREAT NOVEL, and needs more recognition.Now let's ddep dive...Pros:The world-building is pretty spot-on – not too complicated, not too simple.I love the MC's personality unpredictable yet intriguing.Side characters are well-fleshed out.I didn't spot any grammatical mistakes.The pacing is Just right!Cons:Occasionally, the descriptions of scenes are excessively lengthy.In very few cases MC's decisions/actions seem confusing and sudden(**spoiler **like how he killed Freya and the prostitute and Tiga) although that seems to be part of his personality but I hope they make sense down the line.My expectations:Mary, second most explored side character in terms of screen time, needs significant character development. The current Ren couldn't care less about the pain she caused the previous Ren. She's basically worth zilch to him as long as she's not in his way. Currently, she's just a hypocritical and narrow-minded character. But, if her character stays the same till the end, it's gonna feel like a waste of time. She'll end up as a brain-dead character not worth the time invested. Let's hope that doesn't happen! Her character arc should logically conclude, regardless of her eventual romantic choices.Whether this novel goes harem or not, it's cool either way. But every girl involved should get some solid character development, showing off what makes them unique and strong. Ren's relationships shouldn't just be for show.That's all for now...Great work author and ... DON'T DARE DROP

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!
