I hope this is an entertaining story.
I just found out that the person who shilled me on this story dropped it a ways in, and I can see why. I completed seventy percent of this book, and I am also wishing for the story to end.
The protag is uninteresting. At the start he was having thoughts of being a carpet protagonist, so people can walk over him. He (the protag) found out some information about his abilities, and never explored anything (even though he said he would).
There was so many things I wanted to say, and was going to wait until I finished the book to put my thoughts down on paper (and see if my opinion changed)... but with so little of the book remaining, the protag being uninteresting, the story (with how it is being told) being uninteresting, and the characters being uninteresting, why not?
I understand the protagonist was slowly dying in that hospital, and this new lease on life might have come at a shock. But for so much of the book to be completed, and for me to read so much nothing is annoying. I will not read the sequel.
I finished the book and will definitely not read the sequel. All of that build up, and that is how it ends?
It just felt so cliched. I don't know if the author was trying too hard so his protagonist doesn't come across as too powerful because he succeeded in me not being interested in anything he does.
