I understand what the author tried with Zach but written poorly.

just skip 5min when the stats start. if there is something new they always summarize it whats better when its done.

side characters stats skip them all together.

character building arc of zac is fine, just poorly executed. I hope book 3 is better and continues focusing more on ryun and his gang.

small spoiler alert:
I think where the author went wrong, was in the last book he emphasizes cultivators are strong and classers are simple and get weak in comparison. how zac looks for instant gratification and ryun thinks long-term. so to us as readers I’m not really looking forward to hearing chapters of zac try to figure out a path but in the end always keep picking the unique perks. he is just stumbling in the dark throwing shit and see whats sticks.

I find more intriguing how ryun looks and thinks about things.
