I Grow Stronger By Eating!
By chapter 10, there really isn't a reason to like the MC who engages in cannibalism and torture. He has no goals or purpose. He kinda ends up just stumbling into a plotline and forcing an alliance with the undercover hero. ETA: Added a star. It takes 10 chapters for the story to start. Basically, a group of disparate characters with complex backgrounds go for an adventure. each world building story gets a rushed couple pages, while the psycho with no emotions gets 10 chapters. Still very annoyed with how this story progresses, but the world balance stuff is really interesting. ETA2: Added another star. It's strange how the way the title and the synopsis are written can change the way you read a story. like, I think the first 10 chapters would have been far more enjoyable if they had named the story something like...
