Good read but slow pace. Early chapters are mostly to build the foundation for later ones. Give it a try, you might like it, or you might not. I would use text to speech for this because it would be too boring otherwise.

This is good and I want more.

The story is well-paced, in addition to the interesting mechanics and the way it is told, it deserves its 5 stars

Status: chapter 134 - brotherly bonds

Contrary to other options, I actually enjoy the slow pace of the story and feel like it fits it very well. It allows the author the opportunity to build and develop, not only the setting but also the relationship between characters in a way fast past stories can't. From what I have seen so far, the author has done an excellent job as this. I haven't felt that any of the relationships between characters were rushed. It is clear to see how the bonds between people change over time, a big plus for me.

I also don't mind at all how the author makes characters and then they leave the story later on. It is to be expected that as the MC moves on with his life and goes to different places. And that goes for the other characters too. There was a clear example of the half-gnome girl who became the MC's assistant. Partway through that story arc, she left and pursued her life as an adventure leaving the MC in the town. This is just like how real life works. To me, this makes the side characters feel more real and alive.

It's not like when a charter leaves that they're gone for good either. Around chapter 130, the MC's brother is reintroduced and, what I hope will happen, the story arc with his father will come back into play. I am sure we will see the other characters back, such as the MC's first adventuring party. If I were to guess how, the MC would probably bump into them at a tavern in his current town. I thought I would have seen them back earlier, but I was wrong on that front.

The main thing that I dislike about the story is how story arcs are created then dropped as there about to reach their climax. But that is just minor criticism. In the end though, what really kept me reading was how the character would progress and develop in his craft.

Actual Rating: 3.5/5

Quite a few spelling/word mistakes, though the writer isn't a native english speaker so i'll skip that part.

It's a perfectly average story. Initially, I was somewhat annoyed by the lack of recurring characters to interact with the MC, though that seems to have fixed up now. Somehow, despite the large amount of content, I didn't really feel like it was a slog to read through.

However, like other reviews have stated, the MC moves around a lot. Currently it looks like the MC has properly settled down now but if they do decide to move again and return to solitude, my review will have to drop to a 3.

The writing is ok, but the storytelling is not. It's just a whiney MC making bad decisions with a ton of plot holes and contradictions. Nothing about the flimsy character's actions makes any sort of sense and all of the dialogue is juvenile. It's cringe at best.
