mediocre... at the beginning the MC talks about how he wants to gain reputation and become stronger, in order to get people to join his future organization to win the fight they lost in his past life. then he proceeds to be hyper-paranoid about people not thinking he is a noob. what is the point of having past life experiences and knowledge if you are too scared to use it??? the author mentions that this scaredy cat, paranoid mindset is part of who he was at some point in his past life but there are no details surrounding it, it seems to just be said in passing. there is no character development in the first 125 chapters, the only thing is the mc is strong for his level that's it, he hides everything else. it's like he is living his first life ready to fail all over again. I hope it gets better but it isn't looking optimistic...
