It is true that novel had a great potential and somewhat unusual main character, but Drama killed it all. At some point MC started to become dumb and retarded just for story progression purpose: Author clouldn't make an interesting story about self-efficient and composed character with clear image of his dreams and goals, so he mutilated his hero into sobbing mess of confusion and stupidity. And other critical flaw - unreliable narrating. For example - in one chapter there was sudden appearance of a woodoo-exorcist. He stated that his semi-legal organisation with cringe name have no valid evidence of MC's crimes, only suspicion. And in next chapter, another generic horny villian appears, out of the blue, with some sort of unmentioned compromising materials. Wow, what an amazing twist! (No). The last thing that bothed from the start is that story flow in a very runabout way, so there were no clear image of characters in reader imagination. You can easily image anyone in place of these characters, as they lack any constant personality, traits or description. Most of these characters described only once, and it is frustrating to always return back in chapters and search for their appearance details to get a better picture of what is going on.
