This is an absolute hidden gem. Long chapters, interesting and (mostly) intelligent characters, few of the overused tropes and no need to rely on "reincarnation" or "time regression" to allow the protagonist to become progress.
The bad: time can flow in an inconsistent way in a few of the chapters, with little to help the reader to know how much time has passed. Honestly, that is my one gripe as this novel is bloody fantastic. Kudos to the author, I will take 1 well written super chapter per week over 6-8 poor quality mini chapters anytime.
