The story is great! It starts amazingly and has realistic and incredible points of interest. There’s a mix of comedy added that is fun to read, though it gets to a bit much. The story is great up until about chapter 215. After that, and even at that point, the realistic, action-packed and gritty story turns into a complete unrealistic comedy designed to mock the previous chapters. There are complete 180’s for nearly every character and thr progression of the story stagnates early on until it completely stops. SLIGHT SPOILER- - - -Josh Malum at around 215 ish and afterwards is a total comedy character thay does whatever he wants, mocks everyone, has this insane brovado that lets him overcome anything no matter what, mocks the military and uses them for stupid fun and the very-serious-very-strong members if society bow down to him only because of their sudden interest in a made-up guild no one has heard of except from the rookie competition. This “made up” guild apparently garnered SO MUCH attention from its mention in the rookie competition championship that the military and B/A/S rated guilds bow to him and his every whim. Then it gets to the alter tower and ifs ridiculous weird challenges that are so dumb and random it ruins the story almost immediately. Honestly, I’m pretty sure the author was changed around chapter 140 or so. Great start of a book, and I loved it. The comedy and how far it went ruined it for me. It was all so random and forced it was hard to read.
