I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

I really don’t understand why everyone is speaking so negatively about this book. Reading it was quite enjoyable, as the author doesn’t stick to a specific plot and smoothly develops the story, presenting interesting events along the way. Finally, the main character, who is capable of building normal relationships with girls – I haven’t seen such in ten thousand years. Finally, the plot represents not only “I did A to become stronger and it unexpectedly helped me better achieve B,” but rather a logical sequence of events that is still interesting to observe. The storyline of brotherhood with orcs, which is occasionally encountered in books, is still good.

The only thing that raises questions for me, strangely enough, is the main character. I don’t quite understand what image he reflects. The thing is, he always acts wisely and according to the situation, but not heartlessly, which makes his personality seem somewhat dull. He’s neither smart nor foolish, neither strong nor weak. He can move forward when necessary but doesn’t rush ahead of the locomotive. If the other characters leave a complete and vivid image in your mind – the envious and love-hungry princess, the strict but naive swordsman, the knight who remains true to his ideals and seeks himself in service – then the main character seems somehow… Some kind of… Too normal?
