"I don't get the good reviews tbh

I'm of two minds about this book. I really like when main characters have goals and personality and the world building is good. This book has all of that, however, it also has a lot of frustrating parts. The main thing that frustrated me is that the MC has no agency over his decisions and over his relationships with the people around him he mainly got shat on by all of the nobles around him and instead of fighting back, having a backbone, any of that...he just went along with it. Every single time he talked to nobles he took a step back and it just really felt like he wasn't the main character. I just expect a little bit more courage in my heroes. So yeah, the main character has a personality but it's a really s one. I think there could have been times where the main character got his lick back or maybe if he was a bit stronger and maybe beat one of the nobles in all their combat exercises instead of losing every single time and then getting literally spat on by one of them. Then the one Noble who is always rude to him staring at him glaring at him and doesn't talk to him he for some reason finds her really attractive and likes to follow her and they form a team together and he saves her life and then now they're all intertwined and they're stuck that way now because of what happened at the end of this book. But her personality never changes she still rude she's still combative for no reason she still looks down on him and at the end of this book you don't really feel like he's grown much as a person you don't really feel like much has happened even though it's 800 pages and you don't really feel satisfied I don't feel satisfied that they basically said that now they're going to work together and he has no choice otherwise he has to run when it doesn't even feel like it's that big of stakes to make him run. I don't know, this was just a really disappointing book for me."
