Animosity
Honestly, it's a great story with potential. But the mc character development is wishy-washy. What's the point of you giving the mc a family only for him to turn out into a monster? Personally, I like him to have emotions and see him have a ruthless pragmatic streak. Accepting emotions, cruel yo his enemies and loving to his family. There is no deep introspection from the mc considering his intelligence unless he is truly a monster with no feeling. This seen felt forced, no proper foreshadowing and world building of the town before the series of events. Oddly, the mc's detached emotions have made me detached from the story and nearly quit. I'll hang on a bit to see where the story takes us.
