Heroes of Might and Magic: The Mercenary

Heroes of Might and Magic is great, but the protagonist's background as a retired gaming master is incredibly cheesy. It's an old trope from over a decade ago, and I can't believe people are still using it.

Goodness, another Heroes of Might and Magic book is out. Hopefully, it'll hold up.

Finally, another Heroes of Might and Magic book! I hope the author will keep writing.

What the heck? Everything was fine before, but suddenly a bunch of female supporting characters squeezed in next to the main character in the 130-odd chapters, resulting in more than 10 chapters of low-quality urban dating scenes. I'm starting to regret subscribing to all 50 chapters.

The strengths and weaknesses of this novel. Strengths: The narrative and plot are quite good. The plot is especially grand, and the world-building is fantastic. It's quite captivating. Weaknesses: Not satisfying enough. Take the first major event, Faust, for example. The protagonist's role isn't that significant, failing to provide the reader with a truly satisfying experience.

Does this even have anything to do with Heroes of Might and Magic or mercenaries? This should be Heroes of Might and Magic: Idle Fish.

Holy crap, there are actually people writing books about Heroes of Might and Magic! I have to support them.

This hellish difficulty level is so bad, it'll collapse without a cheat code!

Is there any connection between the recent plot and Gawain?

I've never played Heroes of Might and Magic, but I've read novels with Heroes of Might and Magic backgrounds. But this book... Well... How should I put it? It just doesn't appeal to me.
