"Allow start but amazing"

The story is difficult to read at first because the main character has crippling social anxiety and it is expressed in dialog and writing. As such it is uncomfortable to read. The same way it would be uncomfortable to say.

There is growth and the readability skyrockets. The story is excellent about being as clever as possible with power usage and always trying to break the game like an intelligent and motivated person would try to do.

The story doesn't shy away from getting super dark. And nit just blood and gore dark. There are some personal relationships and profoundly bleak, harsh things that just make you wince. It's powerful.

The best part of the story is that even though the main character constantly levels up and gets bigger things on his plate, and an expanded scope of projects/quests, it is always done in a way that is engaging. Because the character is making choices that feel unique to them, and the outcome matters to them, I care about political-economic things that would bore me to tear otherwise. As it stands I ended up spending ages personally looking into how banks work, the chemistry of boron, and details of castle architecture.

Amazing story, great fights, constant movement, good character development, and the scope of the world/magic is constantly growing.
