    It's a bizarre story with no romantic pairing. The female characters aren't mindless; they each have their own distinct traits, and there's no romantic relationship between them and the male lead. It leans towards an ensemble cast, with the male lead initially a lone wolf, but later forming a team, exchanging details and overcoming challenges together. He's not a saint; he has his own ideas, knowing when to save people and when not to. He's strong in combat and intelligent, but not completely invincible because he's human. He might make mistakes when thinking things through, but it's precisely this that makes him a living, breathing human being. This book is incredibly interesting and worth reading for everyone, with richly developed characters. The only problem is that there aren't enough chapters—only around 621.
