The novel starts off really exciting but slowly dwindles into a slow, monotonous pace. When the concept of magic is introduced its exciting and you want to see him progress, but the majority of the chapters are just boring occurences and accounts about people that just pale in comparision to him improving. The academy arc is also probably one of the worst ive ever seen, where instead of getting stronger, it seems to exist to make every character catch up to him, all laws are bended so that the MC can't appear too strong, pretty ironic imo. He also starts off in the academy as the strongest student, which just makes the arc inherently irrelevant lol. Acting in tandem with boring nonsense, there is a lot of ridiculous logic in this story. The academy he goes to is this fortified castle that can protect against any danger, except apparently just the strongest person there being a villain, like what? I get trying to make an interesting arc, but there is no way you would build this massive fortified estate, and then not accurately scope out the person running it, especially if every child in your family goes there, it is so unbelievably stupid, like a criminal guarding a bank. The MC also randomly shifts between hiding his power and not, where he hides it from his family for years(for no reason btw) and then randomly brings it up to his cousin about a year before he leaves for the academy?????? Crazy idea, why don't you just go to your extremely loving and all powerful grandad, and just ask him to help you out and show him how talented you are? It's literally the yellow-brick road to success, and he's wading in sh*t thinking it's helping. I could go more but this would be too long, thanks for reading anyways

Reading this novel is so incredibly frustrating. For the first 30 chapters or so I was really enjoying him grinding his way from rock bottom to become something, but my man is literally the most nerfed thing in existence. He trains for 18hrs a day and his progress is literally snails pace compared to the other kids who just sleep in class and do some basic exercise. I have never seen an mc with worse talent, but then something happened. The MC awakens his chakra and performs a jutsu incredibly quickly! Ok I'm fine with him being human trash as long as he has at least one strong talen..... Nevermind author said no and he immediately gets nerfed so the snail's pace continues. Even his intelligence gets nerfed somehow and he goes from being smart to an actual primate who is loud and obnoxious, cheers author thought you were going to give him something but nah, how stupid of me. This is already a pretty long scathing review but I can't help but touch on the side characters, they suck. Aside from the old man who i like the side cast the author comes up with(not in naruto originally) are genuinely just terrible, awkard cardboard cutout attempts at characters. They are like a trash harem cast, their personalities can be explained in 2/3 words and i would genuinely prefer if the author replaced them all with nerfing the mc even more. Like why even write a naruto fanfic and just make walmart versions of the original characters instead of using the originals. It would be like me making a bleach fan fic with my new main character ichibo kugosaki who uses a spear and is loud and belligerent, not to be mistaken for his sidekick rubio who has double d breasts and can't stop saying b-b-b-b-bbbaka when Ichibo gets too close to her. I get making up an original character or two to add some spice but just pretty much replacing the main cast makes no sense. This is way too long lol but thanks for reading

I feel like the author writes this story more on a whim, without much coherent thought behind it. It feels like he just tosses a bunch of information at you at the start of the novel, and then goes off and writes random plot twists dependent on his mood. Characters just perform actions outside of their explained personality, which personally i don't consider character development,character derailment maybe. Way too much time is also spent on random scuffles not really relevant to the story, being labelled as main scenarios, but could honestly be reduced to a chapter or 2 and nothing would change. I think the more egregious thing however is the author biting off more than he can chew. He spends several chapters building up this world based on a potentially predetermined story, and without the readers even knowing much about it, he sets about changing everything. I frankly don't understand setting up this world around certain characters to just add more supposedly, spicing up the novel however I just find it confusing. It's similar to wearing a full suit then just putting on a pair of pink underwear over it for flare, unnecessary. I think trying to add surprising elements to the Mc's background is ok, however shoving it into your face 20 chapters in is just so jarring and such an uncomfortable upset to the pace of the story. It's like if you're reading a novel about killing the demon king, then you spent 20 chapters on stopping some bullying not relevant, 30 chapters on a dungeon that could be 5, meaningless character interactions yes please give me 25, now why don't we make the mc's family secretly demon worshipers and the female lead's family a group of anthropomorphic hamsters, oh wait what was the main goal again, the demon king? The novel is now 100+ chapters and the author is getting tired, demon king is too far away and the hamster arc still needs to be solved, gg go next. If you don't have 600 chapters worth of effort and time to put into a novel, please don't write it as such with so many plot twists and turns before you've even properly started on the main path. Sorry bit of a rant at the end but thanks for reading, even this review could be shorter lol.

The book starts off okay but a lot of little annoyances start to quickly spiral out of control. The MC gets a pretty powerful ability, Clairvoyance, which is frankly necessary considering his abysmal starting stats. What follows this is the author randomly buffing and nerfing the mc for almost no reason at all, or any good reason in my opinion. there is a weird backstory about the mc being more powerful when he was like 8 years old, which literally just makes zero sense and somehow his potential also got nerfed? Even more idiotic than this is the author just introducing this easy to make solution to improve anyone's potential and decides to just make the MC sell it worldwide?? You're telling me this nigh unbreakable wall determined at birth can just be circumvented by a potion you could essentially find for the same price as a honda accord? Maybe a rangerover but still. If his potential was raised through a daunting challenge I could understand but it just feels very lazy as a whole. Just some Bulletpoints as I don't want to type too much: . Why does the MC have a magic talent but in about an entire year he has taken one class on how to control magic, nevermind even creating spells and exploring an incredibly interesting side of combat. Please just get him a teacher maybe even ask the headmaster. . Why is the MC talking to a ghost who looks like a real person as well as somehow a random cat? this just makes no sense this has been going on for way too long with almost no resolution and is just getting confusing and annoying. . Why does Emma exist? Why hype up the original MC of the story and cast to just completely bring the story in a different direction and add people the MC has no idea about whom are just the most talented people to walk the earth?? Why do I know the names of 10 or so side characters who are basically never mentioned for the real plot of stopping the demons. The original MC has been used in like one fight and everything else is just characters where you have no idea what they're thinking or planning, but oh wait they like the MC because of this situation 3 years ago, that somehow has more secrecy than area 51 and the author refuses to tell you much about. What's the point of this cast you've built up if every single one of them just hides what they're thinking but dw they like the MC. It just makes it so hard to like and relate to characters aside from the original ones, who are rarely properly used. Could say more but sorry this is way too long lol.
