The MC is an idiot, not just making some dumb mistakes but the author decided that every single thing he did would be the wrong decision. There isn’t any way I can become interested in this book because every time it starts to get less terrible the author made the MC do, say, or think something dumb.
I am surprised that there isn’t a situation where he is told not to put his hand in the fire and even sees the fire and feels the heat and sticks his hand in the fire. Of course he would say he did think the fire was real or some other poor explanation. The book is that bad
It is like that one person that made one funny joke 10 years ago and keeps telling everyone the same joke every time he sees them,multiple times a day.
Once more there isn’t a good reason for it to be as bad as it is. Maybe there is some explanation at the end of the book like he is under a curse or something. If there is then it should have been at the very beginning of the book and I don’t believe it would have really made it much more bearable. Not his intelligence isn’t low enough to justify this when he has an alright wisdom.
