I got through 26 chapters so far, and much of the time, there was a tantalizing sense that things were about to be interesting, but they never were. Built around a “Get Smart” premise of an MC who is the top dog in a dangerous organization but frequently has little idea what’s going on and who is repeatedly successful through mostly dumb luck.
Unfortunately, there’s very little comedy, the wacky characters and nearly impossible situations are played completely straight. The author seems to think that as long as the readers don’t understand what’s going on, it’s a mystery, and he’s Agatha Christie. Alas, confusion and omission are not mystery, and superbeings casually disintegrating every threat on sight isn’t adventure. This should have been a comedy, and the setup had potential, but I don’t recommend.
Summary: Reasonably competent adventurer MC is surrounded by hypercompetent monsters who consider him a genius, because his suggestions always work out. He knows he isn’t a genius and wants to retire from the increasingly dangerous work, but he’s too afraid of his coworkers to say so.
