The story was ok, writing quality though there are mistakes it doesn't cause any confusion while reading. My issues are the inconsistencies, the MC says X but then does Y cause it adds more drama, or in one quick arc he destroys three 3* mages like they are paper, and then just a couple chapters later he struggles against one 3* and a 2* mage (because these 2 were the end of the arc boss supposedly he had to struggle). I am a few behind of current, but the story has turned into rabbit hole of side stories, and with the pacing side stories seem to never end (20 chapters for a single auction that is part of a side story that off loads one of the women for awhile). One of my other issues is how fights go, as others have said MC always struggles till he has one move left then pulls it out. However the fights are all Throw attack A see what happens, throw attack B, let enemy regroup, dodge or take a hit, then throw attack C. None of the fights exhibit any coordination with his team, or ability chain attacks. It is always Someone doing one ability everyone stands and waits to see if it works before doing anything else. As a team they have so many combinations they could use, but none of them are used. Author is hinting about a Tournament Arc that MC is gung ho about, but still keeps saying he wants to stay low key... All in all the story for me just lost it's hook for me to continue and it started at the Sect Arc and has just eroded.
