People dropping this novel because of Nick don't understand the difference between "a badly written character" and "a flawed character by design". Nick is a VERY flawed character both due to his naivety and hypocrisy, but in terms of writing he's a very well written character. A bad written character is like a typical harem MC, who despite having a cuck personality still gets his way because of forced plot. Nick on the other hand is designed to be a character on path of self-destruction because of the impossible goals he set and all his terrible decisions have consequences that come back to bite his *ss. This novel is essentially a prequel novel of a Villain who went from a kind boy to what he is now because no one was there to correct/guide him on right path.

I just can't accept the death of Wintours. Just because there's no reason to kill him, Nick is more like a spectre than an actual spectre

I want to point out Author's biggest pros and cons as someone who is a big fan of author's previous 2 works. And what you can expect from this novel as well. Pro: 1.)Author NAILS the power-systems especially in Sword God, it's unironically atleast top 3 among power-systems in general. So you can expect this novel to have a great power-system as well. 2.)The training arcs are the best parts of Author's novel. They go into detail in the mechanics, with baby-steps as well as trail and errors. You feel a personal connection to the power/technique MC obtains since you saw the entire struggle of how MC obtains it and it makes all the more satisfying when MC uses them. 3.) I have never seen author write a 2D-bland character even if it's a one time occurring side character. They actually act as competent beings and possess dynamic personality. Cons: 1) Biggest Con of author is he does not treat the side characters well. Author would write a character with so much potential only to be never mentioned again. Biggest slap in the face is when these side characters die off screen and we know they are dead because so much time has passed that there lifespans are already over. This happened over and over again in Lightning is the only way, same goes for Sword god I am still mad one of my favorite character just died without ever being mentioned(I don't want to directly mention name since it's spoiler so I will just in a cryptic way say: 🔥 🌎 ) There are some other smaller cons but for the most part Author is GOAT! So I can personally expect "Kill the Sun" to be my new favorite of all times.
