Around 10 chapters Honestly I'm a sucker for lit-rpgs so I gave this a shot, I have to say I got quickly disappointed. The author goes with the old trope of making our protagonist some sort of omni-competent super handsome character fitting in with the archetype of a protagonist who can never do any wrong and never makes any mistakes somehow thinking that's going to make him more relatable to the reader it doesn't. I appreciate the whole idea of being thrown into just a random situation and the cruel moral choices that a person has to make those are understandable in a story especially developing one but then it gets into this whole power and rating system that is given little to no explanation and then automatically just throwing in a multiversal conflict and whole sets of rules and deus ex machina are coming left and right I get the idea of the character trying to take advantage of the situation and I respect a protagonist who does that but I kind of was looking for something a little more on the mercantile side rather than just immediately trying to either rip people off or manipulate people and yes I understand that the real world doesn't work like that there are many people that try to hurt or scam others and there's nothing new about a manipulative protagonist and that in and of itself is not a bad thing but I kind of want to see the internal thoughts of the protagonist in order to find out what's happening here it's just I don't know it's jumping into many directions at once and I can't take it anymore it's both too much and too little to keep track of very little consistency background or really any interesting or compelling characters to follow rather than shallow archetypes of a servant or a master or a thug or random civilian there's nothing here really to keep me interested I have really no comments to the author as it seems to largely be an abandoned novel but to anyone looking to read this to just see what it is don't waste time or any sort of mental space on the series it's not worth it.

I liked it. Enjoyed the characters, the plot, the world, however there was one mild thing that annoyed me. The synopsis, the dialogue at the end makes no sense to my mind, he says "Why, you ask?" When the question beforehand was a do. Anyway still liked the novel, and you should still defo give it a try.

I love this book... The author needs to do some work on the characters though. But, I like the story in general, especially mc's class, it sounds unique.

Interesting novel first read. I could tell it already has a defined plot and has a good flow of how the story will go. I also like the tone of the story. It's very formal, as well as the complexity. Will keep on reading.

I've read up to chap 10 and I gotta ask this before he goes any further, is going to become stronger? I mean there's SS rank talents on the left, EX rank talents on the right, and pretty sure the leader of blue team is SSS rank talent.
