Fantasy Critical
One of the better "compensation" trope novels out there. As others have mentioned, the story isn't particularly compelling and there’s a lack of any sort of plot. So if you’re here for that, best to walk away. However, if the reason to read this is the interest in the aforementioned trope, then the novel is good enough for consumption. Much better than all the other gutter trash that fills the "compensation" genre. The best way to define this would be "a bland compensation trope novel with not much going on, but with reasonable human beings as characters".
