Honestly, if read all the way through till now in one go, it probably isn’t that bad. I myself didn’t hate it but I can see why people were getting tired. It’s been quite a few updates where he’s been with the tribe and it felt as tho the original plot suddenly turned into the side quest.
Idk about you all but.. The tribe arc wasn't that bad, I'm probably biased in saying this since I started this just recently.
