I tried really hard to get into this book but only made it to chapter 300 ish. There is just no drama or real meat to this book. No big enemy, no rival, and no real reason to read the book. MC just goes where told does what he's told, and that's it. I keep hoping for a time skip to get to the real story, but it hasn't happened. writing is great, and MC's party is fine (everyone else is a bit two-dimensional and nearly identical). If there was some actual plot to this book, it would be great.
