This story is a true hidden gem, how this is ranked so low is beyond my imagination.
Describing this story in one statement, "an Easter fantasy for readers who have grown out of the Eastern fantasy stories"
There's few things that could be kept on mind while reading the first 50 chapters.
1. our mc is a frog in a well, really just a country bumpkin, his true journey begins at chapter 49 when he obtains a Master.
2. He obtains a ring very early in the story, the ring is powerful artifact and it wants to mold our mc into a worthy successor.
3. Despite his initial limited vision the mc can come up with decent workable(barely) solutions to his problems.
4. After he obtains his ring his first goal is to buy back his confiscated property, ( a true frog in the well ). Admirable but underwhelming but not beyond reason, he is after all merely a frog in a well.
The story really starts opening after chapter 50. As long as the reader keep in mind the above mentioned points it's an endearing read.
