It’s getting better but the exposition is still terrible and the writing style gives the MC a very juvenile/cartoonish feel.

I think having watched the anime is really saving me right now. This is SLOW going and I’m not a fan of the writing style. There’s a ton of exposition and the perspective will change mid-paragraph. I know it’s mostly because it’s a Chinese to English translation, which I haven’t enjoyed in other books. Not sure if it’s just hard to find a novel/writer translator or if the two really don’t mesh.
