10%, unlikely to finish, the self loathing of the MC is hard to stomach.
Yes, as a peasant he was conditioned by the state sponsored religion to view himself as unworthy but Jesus Christ does Icalos rub it in over and over.
Secondly, this is not cozy. There are serious stakes, like the end of the world serious. There are massacres, tragedies, despair, and violent death. -How the hell is that cozy?

haven't read a page of this all week.
Seems unlikely I'll ever finish.

Might get back to it later. I got so sick of the "I'm not worthy" and the "I'm just a dirty peasant" and even the "I defile this place with my presents"
I get that the author is setting up to contrast with the future, but there won't bee no future if everyone quits in disgust.
A little goes a LONG way, and you laid it on way too thick.

The inciting incident should be excluded as a benchmark for the rest of the series. Also, yeah, watching the MC give a single sentence of dialog is like watching someone pull teeth but if you can table these issues the real sweetness of the series is worth it: seeing the effusive and endearing bees strive together and learn.

I too have urged people to 'stick with' a book because it gets better.
-But imagine you sit down to a meal an the first bite tastes rotten, Like you're gonna throw up. and the cook says "I only tastes like that for the first 3 bites". They tell you they made it taste rotten on purpose to contrast the later meal, so it tastes better by comparison. to show progression.
