The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter
2.0
An incredibly unlikeable, one-note character who refuses to not behave like an idiot. Interesting worldbuilding too reliant on just using foreign words for things. Don't tell me 17 names for 17 separate classes in your society - show your characters behaving according to the rules of that society. Weird blood purity wank that honestly made me uncomfortable.
Absolutely unrealistic training practices in the "power-up" montage that honestly feel like child endangerment. Some 15 y.o. will read it and will think rest days are not a thing and will get suffocated by lifting equipment or something. If the point of your book to "work hard so you improve" show the main character working hard in a way that is actually possible without dying!
And of course the only female character in the book is the main character's girlfriend who gets murdered so he can get with his future girlfriend in the sequel.
