Honestly, hard to place this one. I've read 7 chapters and in that span, the MC has gone from unable to speak (a pretty cool handicap) to able to speak. MC got a great power which he wants to keep secret for good reasons, but then a chapter later thinks poorly of other characters who got a similar ability and kept it secret. MC wants to be powerful, but also wants to leave his destiny to fate instead of trying to get stronger on his own. MC wants to be careful, but then does risky stuff and almost dies several times for no reason. If the author would choose something and stick with it, this *could* have been an interesting novel. This wishy washy stuff doesn't work for me, unfortunately.
