I quite loved the first book and was a new favorite. This one? Felt like a waste of time.
All the MC did was whine how he didnt need the guild and how he was soooo done with it. Then constantly putting up with it instead of leaving. Then letting people who try to murder him live and never following through with plans. Made most the book feel like a time waste because the first 5 hours lead to nothing.
Once the actual story starts the MC goes and gets the stupidest skill possible. A total downgrade. I get it was set up with book one and his personality but it is still so lame. Instead of finding a way to store extra biomass and get regeneration he gets a skill that one takes away his ability to wear equipment or wield a weapon. In fact his new weapon is right next to a vital point kill shot, risking his life every time he attacks. The fact he already killed some by exactly that who had that skill before makes it completely stupid.
I dont know it the author just thought it was cool for the story but from and actual fighting perspective and survival. No the new skill is a downgrade. No spear range now, nope all fighting is up close and exposing a weak point with each attack. How can he handle humans with spears or even swords now? Hope that dont do what he did in book one? so so so a stupid.
