The protagonist's values are problematic. It's not that a protagonist can't be cold-blooded, but this protagonist is selfish and self-serving from beginning to end. Such a person is not likable, so it's a bit difficult for this book to become a hit.
Regarding the main character's design and the female lead and supporting characters (please see the comments section of this post).
Regarding the main character's character design, many people say it's a bit off, but actually it isn't. According to the D&D faction grid, the protagonist should belong to the Chaotic Neutral faction. Unless it involves major interests, all his actions are free and unrestrained.
If you're just having fun on your own, feel free to do as you please. If you're planning to make some money, I suggest you make this change. You're pleasing no one. I prefer watching shows with a single female lead, but when I see the main character having a relationship with the female supporting character, I don't want to watch anymore.
This book is definitely a gem; those who enjoy exploring the original setting should definitely check it out. I hope the author doesn't abandon it prematurely, or I'll be truly heartbroken.
Answers to questions about the world-building (minor spoilers)
The era in which the protagonist of this book lives is called the Forgotten Era, which has lasted for over 4.6 Billion years. Legends are the pinnacle of professionals, appearing only once every few hundred million years. Currently, there are no legends in the world.
Image from the internet, please delete if infringing. Also, all spell names in this book in the format of "xx-level spell—xxxx" (with only quotation marks and no ending punctuation) are narration descriptions, not spoken by the caster.
I feel that a background spanning tens of thousands of years is enough. Backgrounds spanning hundreds of millions of years are generally for advanced civilizations. Even if their development is slow, as long as there is a possibility of progress, they are still advanced. How hopeless it must be for a civilization to stagnate for hundreds of millions of years; it would truly be just a background backdrop.
After reading a few chapters, this world seems like a toy, with civilization merely an ornament. Hundreds of millions of years of development couldn't possibly have resulted in this kind of society. It's not about morality or benevolence; it's about inefficiency.
This book achieves what 99% of books fail to do: relatively rigorous logic.
As expected, the protagonist is a native; he's willing to kill and steal for an item at the auction house. His values are completely different from modern people's—so damn realistic! 🙂
