What's with the cartoonish villain

Going the route of "my character doesn't have plot armor and I'll show you by making them suffer defeat" can work well but the execution here made me nearly drop the story because it was like. Let's wait for the character to fail and incur losses before explaining why it was inevitable

Im sorry but alterra giving him forging permits for making unique weapons while not expecting him to win and thus losing all his gear makes zero sense

This was written by a very nerdy author - and is a book about litterally a grumpy old man wanting to do what he loves most: beeing a smith.

Hes beeing a fool along the way as well, but damn hes trying.

Current me mostly wants to yell at his kids: Get your own life and let this man be happy in his vr alternate reality, its a lot of us gamers dream retirement!
