In stories with overpowered protagonists, authors will often ignore the power imbalance they introduce to the world. Most stories deal with simply by having the protagonists not make too many waves in the world, like the protagonist did in Yesterday's space mage. He does not repeat that path in this novel, but still the powers seem entirely uninterested. Most seem barely perturbed at a one-man hitsquad roaming around executing whoever he pleases and do little better in any strategic or tactical planning, almost literally banging their head against the wall in an attempt to make the wall surrender. Along with the god-like power of the protagonist, this robs the story entirely of any tension, and becomes much like watching him complete macabre chores. The story fares little better with the fact that he does so quite nonsensically. Failing to pick the clearest path over and over in what feels like an attempt to extend the length of the novel.
