i just finished reading the (i think) up to date webnovel chapter, chapter 297.
the story starts at a 7/10, lowers to a 6/10 about halfway through and by the time i got to chapter 297 it was like a 4-5/10 for me.
mc was even worse 'cause it's an interesting concept that really held ground for most of the novel but "intentionally unlikable" is still unlikable and the author knows how to write a character that just kind of fuckng sucks, and gets worse as the novel progresses.
kinda feels like the author started burning out and was just pumping chapters out.
