Starts good. Until he opens territory I liked it. After that it became info dump and I dropped it. The story skips over development but gives so much info about the world and it's hard to keep track.
It's actually quite good. The way mc moves towards the goal is very good. I also found some nice songs. Romance is also slow burn and makes for interesting situations. What I like most is no face slapping or nationalism.
Downside is that story progression is very slow. Especially chapters dedicated to songs and fan reactions.
It's kind of disgusting how MC's life is being manipulated. With basic support he can soar but no that is too much for the test. When he does make it with his own effort all gets is contempt.
