Hello, I have read this book up to chapter 15 and in my opinion, it is one of the most innovative books on the theme of sons of happiness and villains stealing that happiness that I have read. Really the author delights me with his unique perspective on this genre, reading this book I felt a breath of fresh air in the musty room of this genre of books. The plot engages with a theme of revenge and character development, on top of that you don't have to wait hundreds of chapters for Mc to change for the better. The author also brilliantly captured the theme of Mc's physical development, he doesn't spend some points to become a Greek god overnight, from his old obese self, but actually buckles down to achieve his dream figure. The fact he has help from a unique side character to achieve this, but it doesn't happen in one day only it may take him two weeks to a month to be in good shape. Beyond that, Mc becomes more and more clever and confident as the storyline progresses, which is very enjoyable. We also clearly see the traits of the other characters, making them not seem one-dimensional. The romance is also well-written, but it's not the sweet one from books about the heroic Mc, but the one from books about villains, i.e. more manipulative and toxic, and bordering on taboo. The skills possessed by Mc are interesting, but Mc is not unique because others also possess powerful deceptions and Mc will actually have to make an effort in fighting them and strain his head. In addition, the author updates if I remember correctly daily which is a huge plus. I also haven't noticed any major problems with writing style or grammar, typos, repetitions, etc. I sincerely recommend it to all lovers of this genre and beyond.
