Everyone in this novel seems as dim-witted as bricks, and the world is completely nonsensical. The plot revolves around setting up cartoonishly evil villains who underestimate the main character (MC). However, the issue is that the MC is portrayed as the highest-ranking member of the adventure guild, so famous that every important person panics at the thought of offending him. Yet, despite his fame, no one actually knows him. It’s as if no one recognizes their country’s president because he occasionally uses a pseudonym.
The villains are all flat, dull, and boring stereotypes who act like big shots just to set themselves up for a fall. Even though the MC does nothing, anyone who dares to be rude to him gets an entire chapter dedicated to how crossing him ruins their lives. A clerk at a shop is rude to him, and we get a chapter about how the clerk gets fired, can’t find work, ends up drunk and homeless, and is eventually used as a human experiment. A girl who bullied one of the characters in his entourage ends up dying as a junkie prostitute. There’s no subtlety; friends of the MC receive every imaginable blessing, while anyone else faces utter ruin. It’s as if being rude to this guy triggers the universe to intervene and destroy their lives for him.
The MC himself is as dull as a bag of rocks. He’s rich, overpowered, and 40+ chapters in, he hasn’t done anything interesting. He’s only performed one action, and it wasn’t even a satisfying moment of dominance. Instead, we keep hearing about how great he is from people in other places, while those who directly interact with him treat him like garbage.
