Supporting cast are also well-developed, albeit not as much as the MC (which is all in all completely understandable). The cast is not huge so far, but there are lots of flavorful characters, each with its own unique composition. And fortunetely, the author's consistent enough that you can remind who's who by simple details like how he talks, what he dislikes or how he interacts with other characters, even when said character's been absent for a dozen chapters or so. It's also nice that there are few moronic characters, and there isn't anyone so far whose existence is dependant only on his relationship with the MC. Listening to the HWFWM audio book. It’s been good. I have a question that no amount of searching has answered. I’m clearly just missing something:

This novel being number 1 in cunning protagonist I assumed he would come out of spouting nonsense eventually. He does not. I am not so easily dissuaded from reading at this point as I am past 100 chapters of reading. I start to skip his dumb rants that are supposed to deepen the bonds of the characters he is talking to or have them look at their life from a new perspective. What I see is a hollow shell with a facade of Buffon getting abused by everyone including his friends and family, Also, on the topic of naturality of characters, it's quite noticeable that more and more characters are starting to sound same-y, some almost exact copies of Jason himself, our MC, and others just losing their own uniqueness in favor of a more millennial speech pattern. On that note, giving a character some off-handed snark to spew (as is the case with most of the ever-increasing cast of characters) is hardly considered character building.

I won't say any spoilers but I stopped reading at 179 because of some tsundere girl he knows who takes every chance to physically or mentally harm him she can, when he is the one helping her.

Follow Jason as he makes a place for himself in a world that is strange, yet sometimes strangely familiar. He’ll meet crime lords and aristocrats, gods and monsters on his path from would-be victim to heroic adventurer. At least, he tries to be heroic. It’s hard to be good when all your powers are evil.

The most important thing to me is warning about things you might not like, so keep in mind that I loved every second of the three days it took me too catch up so this is a 'this might be things some people don't like' but even if every one of the following points is a miss for you this is Still a good read.

TITLES FROM the SERIES

Jason wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters, and that’s just the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants. Why did Dawn want shade to have the authority? Because it weakens the builder? I suppose that even if it’s just a sliver of power it still means less power [authority] than the builder held previously. Does that bringing imbalance, thus advantage for the other astrals? Lastly, the supernatural system the author came up with is fascinating and truly a masterwork on his part. So far it's very thoroughly explained, with clear rules and boundaries, but remains extremely flexible and adaptable, perfect for some GM fiats and things like that. I'm impressed. I don’t know, obviously something big happened and I don’t understand why, and find it odd it hasn’t so far been explained.

what gave Jason the idea to go against the world Fenix in that moment in-spite of the surprising reaction by the builder. Why didn’t jason go for more concessions?

I suppose I just don’t understand why the builder suddenly snapped when a deal was being hammered out, why the World Fenix thought shade would be the way to go and why Jason made the decision he made to complete an agreement that could have yet been more advantageous to him. Worldbuilding is being done slowly, but surely. I like the way things are developing and it's very clear that the author has everything planned out in regard to the big picture. The world seems alive, with lots of things happening very much regardless of what the MC or main cast think or does and there are lots of little details that are interesting and very welcome. Although the story's very focused on the MC and main cast and the city where they're currently living, here and there you get this notion that they're only very very very small characters in a vast world they have absolutely no way to influence. At least for now, that is. Please note: I am Australian and this story is written in Australian English, so there will be less of the letter Z and more of the letter U.

The writing is mature and relaxed, which comes in handy to reflect the way the MC and most of the cast talk and act, but it's not casual to the point of veering into poor grammar or childish mistakes. The author's very aware his own style and there's even some meta commentary on regional mannerisms and stuff like that. My thoughts were maybe he was showing some honour in his dealing with the builder, he was maybe trying to throw the world Fenix off balance too…though I doubt that’s possible. Even after all this they treat him like sh*t as usual, and Jason's like HAHA GDAY Hump, did you f**k my GF when I died saving your asses, like WTF?

I was liking the unique aspects of the story at the beginning as well as the authors good writing style. As I read on I began to understand that the MC is someone who goes off on rants and tangents of philosophy that the other characters usually jot down to his character being someone who feels alone and isolated from being in another world. Overall a very good story and writing style, marred by paragraphs of I'm important listen to everything I say rants from MC, characters mysteriously liking a very obnoxious MC, and a very ungrateful tstudere who no doubt gets together with the MC after beating him up for no reason repeatedly. A subterranean power creates strange bedfellows for Jason and his friends in the epic next installment of He Who Fights with Monsters.
