It’s an okay novel. Too much bs over how good the MC is. Repeating his achievements every couple of chapters and for whole chapters. Also too much nationalism.
overall the story was going good but there are many shortcomings. Mainly the MC is a simp and a doormat.
1. The MC literally saves the empire by making advanced weapons and the emperor instead of rewarding him, just stole the technology. And this emperor is referred to as great or something. Such behavior in real life would have lead to rebellion and the emperor would have lost as he can only shout in rage and do nothing else.
2. MC is literally sent to die in North without much support, by his family, as a sacrifice. When he finally grows a little strong, he needs gold more than ever to continue to grow strong, but instead gives away tens of thousands of gold worth of weapons to family for half price.
