Leguna. An orphan. His life changed dramatically the day the thieves’ guild happened to select him for training and development. He would go on to become lifelong friends with a loyal mercenary, the partner of a beautiful magus who was cold as ice, the savior of a mysterious disfigured dark-elf girl with a talent for the Breath, and the unlikely caregiver for a feisty young maiden. And yet, who would be with him to the very end?

In a twist of fate, the child who fought stray dogs for food emerged to be the most infamous assassin in the world. But the intricacies of power are not so easily grasped, and the price of protecting those that he loves is not as simple as he once thought…

Spoiler

the main character is extremely dumb and I don’t know why the author just keeps him that way. The author says that he has matured but he really doesn’t and keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. (Like ignoring his women and thinking he can do everything himself). It’s fustrating because it keeps happening over and over again and when he says he won’t do it again, he does it again. Annallete is probably the best character and the other girls are not worth anything compared to her. The author should have just left her as the only romance as the other girls just either get in the way or just plain useless. The author tries to give them some character development but no one really cares and I personally only care about Leguna and Annolette

Honestly very new to WN with TS2 being the second novel that I've begun following. Thus far I've zero regrets on doing so. FYI: haven't been able to bring myself to read many (a. Don't want distance myself from the characters and story lines by reading to many.) (b. Crazy as xxxx names that don't envoke any intrigue.) Really enjoyed everything that had come to pass and hope for greater suspense to come. Post read in forums slightly relieve fears of Leguna losing himself and everyone he holds... more>> dear. Wishing, praying that his girls make it through the hell that will come upon him. Although some translation apps sometimes leave me confused, I still feel justified in my decision to use them. The MC's life being twisted by the evil ambitions of others some ever so close, after many setbacks still persists and to be rewarded by the most unlikely of events. Can only say, it must be tough being in the hearts of 3 young women in his life. He can never seem to catch a break. Would probably have waited another year for the translators to reach this point in the story, as for the head scratchers encountered I still go back and read keeping up with the current post. Gods and rules and a mysterious man at the center of the founding of the war. How this orphan is related to them all, excitement is one feeling that drives me to continue but lingering fear cause I'd be naive to think that the tossing and joys felt currently will not be shattered soon. <<less

This novel actually feel like a prologue to another novel and the ending was like a start for another, for the not so important info the MC only touched 1 of 3 girl by the end of novel, MC is s*upid or author is forcing him to be s*upid

He already know someone perfectly disguised as him yet he do nothing about it

When the girl that can't fight at all gone missing he's like oh its safe here she'll be fine

Oh yea this one really pissed me off

Spoiler

So the guy who made one of his lover dead, which caused another to be crippled, almost got killed by him yet he didn't do it in the end, ffs why?? Because he promised the the guy fiancee before, well the finance saved him and his harem member few time okay, but you really gonna let that prince live thats plain dumb atleast leave some assurance.

He managed to find a way to revive her lover in the last chapter at the price of becoming a pawn of god, while he (an incarnation of a fallen god) have to fight the underworld to save his crippled and dead lover, the novel just ended like that

[collapse]

Actually I dont know I feel this is more a rant than a review, even tho some template making me bored, I stil keep reading in hope of founding something great, yeah its kinda great but I hate it.

My recommendation is read for leisure, if you have nothing else to read. <<less

Story is way too dry I've been drinking water from chapter 1-300. The only tag that defines this light novel is tragedy. Born in the slums, got his first girl friend sold by her father, got one of his first male true friends die because of orcs, got another one of his younger male friend and his sister die, promised not to kill his friend's brother and then the guy still die. Like what the hell?
