I Make a Living by Telling Fortunes

Having read up to chapter 19, I find the writing too simplistic and simplistic. There's absolutely no slice-of-life content; every chapter is just action. The protagonist is treated like a workhorse, constantly on edge, with no rest whatsoever, as if he's rushing to be reborn. Everyone seems to want him dead, and the hostility towards him is extremely abrupt and lacks any build-up.

The protagonist is the type who is easily morally manipulated. I won't say whose mindset this reflects, but I really dislike this kind of repressed character.

I just saw it, and it seems very well written. Is this a beginner's work?
