Any inquiries or thoughts can be pointed out here in the comments section.

As for the most frequent cause of inquiry, the slow and cautious nature of the MC in the initial chapters, I can only say that because of his inferiority complex and traumas, the MC had grown into the shell of someone who would rather lose an opportunity than to take a risk for something greater.

This nature of his will slowly phase out in the initial chapters of character development, and you can move directly to chapter 25.
