Honestly if Lloyd could just gain some goddamn confidence this would be really good. Instead you're treated to an interesting if basic world, good characters with interesting motivations and hidden depths, and a genuinely thought out system of magic And you're forced to experience it all through the eyes of the most boring man in existence because he just cannot gain any confidence in his incredible abilities And while this is spoken of multiple times by both the woman who inflicted this on him by raising him that way and the people around him trying to build him up he just doesn't change as a character Ultimately it'smassively let down by this fact
