The world building is fine. We are introduced to some places as well as their internal politics, not much in terms of culture, but I guess still ok. The power system is fleshed out and defined, though the author him/herself will often violate it. There are many fights that just don't make sense, not only based on the damage sustained by the mc but by the survivability of the enemies. It feels like he is just too op, so the author has to use cheap tricks in order to make the fights remotely entertaining. Side characters were somewhat developed at the start (like his father being both proud and jealous of the mc), but their quality has honestly declined. However, I could ignore all of that, afterall the story IS interesting... but what I can't ignore is the MC behavior. He has extreme stupidity masked as curiosity that the author uses to justify nonsensical decision-making to move the plot forward. I don't think a mc must be perfect and always make right choices, but what I dont like is how this mc repeatedly makes wrongs ones and instead of facing consequences, plot armor kicks in and he gets benefits instead. The excuse used by the author that "if something feels forced, it's just that I have not explained the reason behind it yet" can only work so much. Overall, I feel saddened because the story had great potential, but it just didn't live up to even a fraction of it.
