Absolutely loving the novel so far.
The beginning is a bit tense and shows just what kind of a person the MC is, and thankfully, he is a cold-blooded person that doesn't mind even killing civilians in order to get to his target.
The story starts off strong and continues with the same, with some short parts where the story slows down a bit in order to show the MC planning some things or to explain the world.
Worldbuilding is something I enjoy when done right, and so far, even though we know little about the many kingdoms and empires of the world as the story is focused on the empire where the MC resides in, we get a glimpse of the more powerful empires and characters that stand at the top of the world.
We only get a bit of them, and some explanations about who they are and how powerful they are, but it's enough as the MC is too weak to come in contact with them.
As for the MC himself, he has his goals, but there is also a bit of mystery attached to him, which I have been enjoying so far. His thoughts and plans are not simple and he knows how to plot in order to get what he needs or to eliminate those that would be an obstacle.
So far, loving the story and hoping for more of the same!
