This is to inform potential readers what to expect: (And Q&A for readers)
1. OP MC that has to grow. He isn't the strongest from chapter 1. He continues to grow and with each awakening, he gets relatively more OP.
2. Plot and puzzles. There will be some obvious hints along the way and a few obscure ones. If you can piece them together, then you can anticipate parts of upcoming plot.
Some event in the beginning could come back in the end. Actions have consequences.
3. Characters: Varian is a strong person. Despite that, he'll have his moments of weakness. Not just in a physical sense but as in emotional.
Other characters have their own backstory and they have the reasons to act the way they do. Even the most hated character has a backstory that shaped them.
4. World: It's revealed slowly. There will be foreshadowings.
Use this review for Q&A. I'll try to answer as many as I can.
