I don't really get it. If you could pick one game to get powers from, why in the world would you pick a microtransaction heavy game? With amount of money the MC spent, he could have acquired a random game and hired thousands of developers to develop every single game item/power that he would want. Even if he only had a month, it'd be very possible. Is the MC braindead..?

It's an English novel not a Japanese one. There's no need to use romaji Japanese words, it's cringe. Just say vending machine instead of 'jihanki'.

A story with a lot of potential done extremely poorly. If I had to sum this novel up; it's basically just rage-bait done repeatedly. The MC gets knocked and shoved around and bullied for zero reason. The author, for some reason, makes every single character in the story hate the MC to the point where everyone wants to murder him without a reason. The second problem is the entire plot. The plot is full of teen-angst. One of the chapters is even called "Jealous Teen". I have zero clue as to how anyone enjoys reading this, when every sentence is full of cringe dialogue. The 3rd problem is the writing quality and world-building. The author doesn't seem to know how to write properly. It's great for a 9-year-old, but the story just bounces around randomly. Scenes change instantly, things happen without any reason, insane amounts of assumptions without explanation and then there's also the awful grammar and spelling. I'm very surprised this novel is as highly rated as it is, it's unreadable. I would skip this if you're considering reading. Every chapter is rage-bait.

Classic "Oh no! woe is me! I'm too powerful :(" chinese novel. The characters are pretty unbearable, and the dialogue is very hard to follow due to it being chinese culture. I wouldn't recommend it.

I was hoping that this would be decent, but unfortunately it's bottom-of-the-barrel quality. The worst aspect would have to be the writing quality. You can make a great story but have it be completely ruined and unreadable with garbage grammar and spelling. For this novel, the grammar, spelling, and overall word structure is around the English level of an 12-year-old. It's unbearable to read. As for the story itself and characters; I'd say it's just as bad. If I had to take a guess, the author is most likely a pre-teen or an immature writer who has English as a 2nd language. If the author is actually a child, this was a pretty good attempt and I'd tell them to keep trying and to continue studying English.

Kinda too much cringe comedy for me, just about every sentence is some kind of off-handed sassy remark.

It would be a decent novel if the grammar and overall writing quality was better. The random italics and just plainly bad grammar make it very hard to read. Then there's also the random Japanese words that authors like to throw in to really sell that it's a novel based in Japan. It's annoying. It's an English novel, if you want to use Japanese then learn it and write a novel in Japanese instead of using 'engrish'. As for the characters themselves, I didn't get very far because of the bad writing quality; but the MC is a complete pushover. He has no backbone, and seems to get shoved around constantly. The female lead is also one of the most annoyingly written characters I've read in a while. The power of the MC seems decent, and football novels are rare so I was really pushing myself to try and enjoy it. But the female lead along with the MC's character, plus the bad writing and grammar makes it impossible to do so.

Probably the most filler-heavy novel I've read on this site. For every chapter you read you can easily skip 5 and still understand completely what's happening, because nothing happened. At one point I just skipped 20-30 chapters and literally nothing happened. For example, at one point there's an arena/tournament. In this tournament the chapter titles had the word "conclusion" or "end" possibly around 10+ times. The author will say that the tournament is finally ending, but then it keeps going, and then repeats until the tournament 'ended' countless times. If I had to guess the actual amount of chapters for this novel that give actual progression; I'd say out of the current 990 chapters only 100 or so are unique. You can easily cut out 90% of this novel's word count with no issue. Just to give perspective, by chapter 300 he's not even close to finishing 'rank 1' of a power scale that goes up to rank 7+. He'd rather do a 7 day long 'quest' for XP that would be the equivalent of about 5 minutes of defeating monsters. By the way, the tournament I mentioned that took an eternity was also completely useless, in that timeframe he could've easily gone up a rank. Author is milking this hard.

Overall I would call this novel annoying to read. The biggest problem is the dialogue; 90% of the time it's a circle-jerk where the MC is at the center of everything being praised. The author dumbs down every single character so that the double-digit IQ MC seems smart. Not to mention, every single character has the same personality. The dialogue/characters are bad to the point where it seems like a translation of a chinese novel. It's incredibly annoying to read. At best it's a cringe power fantasy written by an angsty teen, at worst, it's a translated chinese novel. When every chapter is spent using dumbed-down characters to praise the MC, it get's cringe very fast. The MC himself talks like an absolute smartass of a 12-year-old, even though he's supposed to be 'mentally 30'. Hard skip.

Yea.. not for me. Chinese dialogue is way too annoying.
