Overall 7/10
Keeping the promise from the title 11/10
Characters 6.5/10
Plot 6.5/10
Worldbuilding 4/10
Pros:
- The main, if not only reason to read - it's a real villain plot of good (even if not great) quality.
It's a nice change to have a proper MC like that. Never acting like a hero (sometimes pretending), evil to the bone.
Doing anything if it benefits him, putting morals aside from the start to the end.
...
- The MC is OP, but on par with a few other characters and not brute-forcing through everything.
He indeed heavily depends on hit-and-run tactics, scheming, and (ab)using allies.
Cons:
- The world is pretty typical, without nearly any specific characteristics.
MC development has some interesting turns, yet nothing really catching.
- The end also cuts it in a moment when (vague to avoid spoilers) worldbuilding/some very important characters, with low screentime could start to shine. I was kind of counting on it from the start and got really disappointed in the end.
- Even considering ^ - the ending seems rushed. It's okay, but could have been done with more details, and IMO - at least one more arc and/or a longer, deeper epilogue.
- The characters other than MC are not very deep - a few with quite a nice idea for them, yet not deep enough to be truly satisfying.
