I’ve been enjoying the time at University, but the feud with Ambrose is just a dead horse the bully is paying his friends millions of talents to beat.

And I don’t know how I feel about Bast calling out the book on lack of female representation.

The Tehlin religion kinda grosses me out and maybe the author intended this, like “Let’s take the Christianity, but when Jesus arrives on the scene, screw that love thy neighbor shit, let’s make him just as vengeful as Old Testament God.”

The interludes are waaaaay more interesting so far. Maybe The Greatest Man will fail?

I’m pretty meh on this book at this point and I know that may cause some issues. The plot armor is probably the thickest I have ever seen. Not only is he the greatest at everything ever (hardcore male wish fulfillment), but the book is also The Superior Male telling his life story, so he’ll survive everything thrown at him.
