Plotholes, plotholes, and just a fair lack of details
People don't like the MC. Why? Because bad rumors? Ok but what kind?Only the fact he's a drunkard and frequent brothel goer... Ok but that's not particularly damning, that's just a hedonist, so what's the real reason??........ Is... Is that the real reason? Because of some upitty idiot spreading rumors that the MC's a hedonist? And the people don't help him, not even people that 'trust' him?.....
So the author wanted some sort of conflict of a bad reputation, but they either didn't want or understand what can be particularly damning so they picked a hedonist.... but why have brothels if that's bad???
Idk the beginning is unique but beyond that this author needs to learn more about worldbuilding before they made this work. My honest opinion is to learn this by either watching dnd (to learn potential feedback) or by Dming a game (to get feedback)
