Feels like every other arc all I here is "This arcs boring" "This arcs lame" "This arc is just bullshit" "This arc, this arc, this arc" 
Pls just shut your complaining mouths for one chapter. Don't like the arc? Fine just skip it man. Don't even read this story tbh. 
If you got past the first arc then just try and enjoy the rest of the story. 
Don't see the point in criticizing the how the mc is getting by. 
This arc is fine. 
The characters are interesting, he has difficult challenges that stop him from advancing, he is developing as a character and so are the side characters. Hell even Adis(The dead one) is getting character development. 
When he introduces his idea. Honestly was great. Unexpected and still obliged  by the rules set by Adis. Wasn't like he pulled out gold coins outa his ass and said "WALLAH!" 
The idea was even taken from old history irl. So it isn't unbelievable or anything that people bought that shit up. 
If someone can explain to me in detail why they think this arc is trash or why they think that whole apple thing was bs. Pls tell me.
