I see why people wrote bad reviews, but while reading I could feel the story just wanting to explode out to me. The excitement your story invokes is rare for me. Few things can make me feel this way and I think you have a future for this in my opinion. The early hint of romance was a refresher, and the way the mc doesn't simp over every girl is nice. Though I wouldn't be able to not flirt back towards a beautiful elf lol.
