In this novel all the enemies hate only for the sake of hate, all conflicts are practically without any reason, seems forced and brings down the level of the novel
Man i'm at chapter 450 and the war with syracuse is gonna last at least 120 chapters (only more not less) a lot LOT of these chapters don't even feature the mc like i don't give a fuck about the struggles of some herder in the a battle in the opposite direction of Davos. It's fine to have some chapters from time to time but not dozens.
