The setting of the book is that the source of magic has a male side and a female side, kind of like yin and yang. The setting's devil corrupted the male side, meaning that any man who uses magic enough eventually goes insane, so all male magic users are hunted down and killed without exception.

The story's main character is the reincarnation of history's strongest male magic user. So of course the vast majority of female magic users take some exception to the entire situation.

And also holy fuck yes it gets bogged down. I can only guess that the author's life was in some way tied to the life of his characters because it felt like every single book a dozen characters got added and none of them ever fucking died. That's the reason I gave up the series 10 or so books in. I just couldn't fucking keep up with it anymore.
