It was okayish for me in the beginning. Low key hiding your power and all that. The thing is that the author really wanted to everyone to be bloodthirsty and evil so much that its absurd. MC is a random guy in an area yet is plotted against immediately, etc etc. MC does plenty of cruel stuff yet bemoans that he just wants a place where he can live in peace. It makes sense at times and theres moments of good and meh, but I think the author was really too obsessed going towards something more lovecraftian. There is some gunpowder tech and more stuff later on which was tolerable but more than I would've preferred. Overall, good enough for me to finish but I'm glad I finished.
