Did he ever workout? The last chapter had him open the box with the book that took him 10 days to read. We never received confirmation on his exercise or progress on his "Get Stronger" quest that came out of nowhere.
You would think with the "Punishment" being "Death" it would be a large motivating factor for him to do so and would be worth a sentence or two saying that he did so to avoid dying.
dear author i think you made a mistake in the text you wrote last 2 years but the award was given for 365 days of training then it shouldn't be written 1 year later?
