Status Updates From Arise: Reclaimer (Arise #3)

I’m trying really hard to keep reading/listening to it because the last two books really got me going but it’s hard. I’m having serious flashbacks to ROM, it’s like as the party gets larger the MC slowly stops learning and thinking and becomes more incompetent. Seriously? Why write a character in a leadership role that can’t, for the life of him, be a competent leader or even learn?
