We went from killing all the bad guys to suddenly choosing non-lethal when the two leaders of the enemy show up. Makes literally zero sense.
Concept seems promising, but the characters, plotline and setting have been butchered beyond all belief. Writer starts us in Braavos then describes all the events as though it's Pentos, then Pentos is used as the next setting when it would've been super easy just to use the cities around the other way for a coherent plot. MC decision making is also so moronic that it's genuinely painful to read - has two people who are entirely incompatible with his plans at futuristic laser gunpoint and doesn't shoot them for...reasons? Then chooses to summon knights over modern soldiers? Lack of logic is problematic to say the least. I wouldn't normally go to the extent of leaving a review, but the way this story was sitting over a score of 4 was too bewildering to ignore.
The concept and writing quality itself is relatively good, but the plot is beyond poor. Essentially, the MC holds an idiot ball the entire time and nothing he does actually changes canon, presumably because the author is afraid of changing things too much. Characters are also incredibly inconsistent and act outside of character changes in order to ensure canon over and over again.
