   My story might be a bit bland in the beginning, and the protagonist isn't the kind of person who grows up quickly or is inherently highly intelligent, but it's very immersive. The climax should be after chapter 100, because the first volume mainly establishes an enemy for the protagonist, a goal for his growth. The mid-to-late stages are definitely exciting because the protagonist will have developed enough charisma, and even if a major character dies, it will be written tragically, without making the reader feel overwhelmed. (Anyone who likes this kind of story can check it out, thanks. I will keep updating because my manuscript already has over 900,000 words, and I won't suddenly stop updating or abandon the story with a bad ending.)
