This vote: *Not Recommended*
That's *NOT* "I dislike it, it's bad."
I'm not going to go super in depth, as I only reached chapter 42 at the time of this review, but I am split on whether to continue personally. The key points are as follows:
Good: The translation is well done, and the little translator notes at the end of each chapter are typically a fun addition.
Mixed: The main character is basically - Strong Man Good, Yes. He does things that are 'good' at cost to himself, but it feels like it sort of just happens to make him look good rather than being sensible or true to character. In addition, the MC has some super thick plot armor. Brain... Hm.
Not so good: The main character is consistent only in that he reneges on his previous decisions constantly, and he is Clearly Awesome. He can control his emotions REALLY well, but is constantly swayed by them. Some supposedly life-long grudges dissolve like salt in water; stir a bit and they vanish.
The novel would be better if there were no female characters because the author just can't.
Entertaining story, though. Hence the negatives give me mixed feelings.
