>boy is apprentice
>gets a job to take care of female prisoner
>course he falls for her
>tries to rescue her, fails, gets punished
>punishment is a external mission+ fancy sword

solid but typical start. sure it was an obvious failure from the masters, (keeping an horny teenage boy with a hot girl for ~1 year as her only contact? course he falls in love) but still good and the world is really interesting so far.

>mission starts
>goes to an inn
>dont want to pay for his own room, sleeps next to some giant freak
>friend of giant freak invites him to participate in a freak show!? also persuades random girl in 10 seconds to join him
>he wants to buy mantle first, falls in love with another random girl at shop
>somehow random guard finds him there, gives him ultimatum
>ITS TIME TO DU-DU-DU-DUEL!!!! with some random flower sword from a botanical garden? if he refuses duel, assassins kill him
>but first random girl, who should fear him to death, flirts with him
>random horserace to garden!
>random temple accident with casualties?
>no punishment
>random girl still walks along with hero, because everything went perfectly normal so far and the juicy dick from the outcast torturer who likely dies in a few hours is exactly what she wants
>some random shit happens in botanical garden
>~25% of the book left

should i bother with the rest? i really liked reading about the world and some of the conversations. but everything after the inn is just one random event after another random event. Nothing really happens, and the events come and go without any reason. The conversations are getting more boring and more abstruse per page.
