This is a good story, no doubt. Good pacing, good world building and good characters for the most part. Buuuut you have to understand (or accept) at the onset that our MC is an idiot. He has his smart moments but in the totality of it, he is an idiot. Not that the novel was selling him to be smart in the first place. Some peope would call it his “charm” and contributes to the majority of the comedy of the novel. Comedy which is quite good actually. Brought out a chuckle out of me a couple of times. He makes decisions on a whim and has little to no foresight in most (not all) of his decisions. The novel even acknowledges this. So if you can’t get past that then you’ll have a hard time reading this novel. tl;dr It’s a good and funny novel with a not-so-genius MC. Better than majority “5/5 Star” trash on this platform.
