Reviewing at around chapter 275:I have conflicted feeling about this.the beginning was not too good in my opinion because the author went the extra mile with the drawbacks on the mc, imposing 4~5 handicaps.Then it turned out to be great with many things addressed and an excellent pace until around the mid hundred chapters, I was surprised by how good this turned out to be and was enjoying the story A LOT. afterwards I feel like it went downhill after the tournament arc. it's moving at a snail pace where there was no progress with the mc character for a hundred chapters (think about it, mc moved from lvl 0 to lvl 42 in less than 200 chapters then suddenly you have to grind a hundred chapters, one third of the story, where the mc lvl stagnates. To me that's killing the story with bad pace and not enjoyable one bit).Now to be fair, the story is about "kingdom building" since the title is about the base he is growing, so I would not complain that a lot of story time is spent on growing his forces, but the contrast in the pacing was too obvious. spending hundreds of chapters in events that take few months of story time is a mistake to me, especially when those events are not Central to plot AND the story is in early stages.I will probably come back to this afterwards but I am dreading the grind if the plot slows down as much as it did between lvl 42 to lvl 43.
