Runebound professor
I don't know how to express how disappointed I am with this series. I was really enjoying it, and suddenly, it all falls apart. I'm at book 2, and the MC is so dumb it hurts.
Spoiler ahead.
- After everything that happened with the father—after threatening him and knowing that he wanted to poison him—Noah just spends an entire week training and relaxing, as if nothing could be done about it. He just keeps wondering why his father is so silent and why he let him use the grimoire for so long. It’s so obvious the father would try to dispose of him—he’s a variable, a dangerous one who literally threatened him. Just leave! Why stay, train, spar, and act like nothing’s wrong? But okay…
Then, when they are about to leave, Jenice coincidentally warns them that the roads are filled with monsters or whatever the warning was, so they should stay a bit longer. Jenice, who is a servant of the father. Nothing strange, no need to be suspicious of anything. So, of course, they just go along with it and get ambushed on the road.
The MC has been impatient since the beginning—it’s a personality trait. He’s also been clever, especially when dealing with his father, because he knows how powerful and influential he is. It’s obvious the father wouldn’t let him go that easily. And yet, suddenly, the MC is the dumbest person for no reason. He lets his guard down for no reason. He eats food with his students—food prepared by Jenice (his father’s servant)—without a single concern about poison. Sure, he can be reborn, but what about his students, who he supposedly cares so much about?
This completely ruined a series I was really enjoying. Just a few pages of absolute nonsense managed to spoil the whole damn thing.
The ambush in the road was so obvious i was actually thinking that the mc was one step ahead, leave one week earlier, or do something, when the thing really happened and they just didnt die because of plot armor, this is crazy, just the thing "by the will he defeated them", just the sunder thing makes sense, the entire battle was a shameful scene to read
