Synopsys: A Si-Fi themed adventure where Jake(MC) and the rest of humanity fight for survival amongst other alien races by using the Oracle System to grow stronger. Pros: -Good writing/grammar -Original concepts and world-building. It's like Isekai but Men in Black. -Interesting characters. The side characters are especially well done. The MC is a little boring, but not too bad. It's the typical 'nerd/introvert struggles with killing and morality' cliche. Not overly so like Japanese protags, but still it's been done before. Will, Enya/Esya, and Ruby, on the other hand, are all pretty likable and interesting. Cons: -Slow pacing. I binged the story to around chapter 315 so it didn't matter much, but the pacing quite slow once you catch up. It makes the climaxes of the arcs more meaningful and fulfilling, but getting there can be a grind. -The MC feels average. He's not super weak, but he doesn't have much to differentiate himself from the chaff either. It's like reading the diary of a B-student. I'm he'll get that something special eventually, and in the meantime the world and side characters can carry the story, but for now the MC feels a little bland. Overall I recommend giving it a shot if you like science fiction or "system" novels. It's certainly different and IMO better than most of what you'll find on this site.

True, most stories do tend to favor their home country, but when Chinese ones do it, they do it much more openly. As an example, I'm reading 'Solo Leveling' (the manhwa). In the story, the Americans steal talents from SK and most of the Japanese are killed off. The implication being that Americans are greedy/thieving and that the Japanese are weak/incompetent. Despite the subtext though, I can still enjoy the manhwa. The difference between that and most Chinese literature is that you at least need to read between the lines to see the underlying prejudice. In every Chinese novel I've read set in the modern world, or a variation thereof, the author goes out of their way to explain how China & it's citizens are the best, the strongest, or the most morally upright, and every other country can't possibly compare.

In short, it's when the Main Character's love interest ends up falling for/sleeping with another guy

Really? There may be a few spelling and syntax errors I hadn't noticed, but the overall sentence structure & word use are much better than 99% of everything else on this site. This is about as good as you can expect from a non-published work.
