    To be entirely honest, I have no idea what is actually going on. I only went through 7 chapters, but it is extremely scatter brained and jumps around a lot. From what I have gathered, each chapter is a new day... I think? He seems to be attending lessons and then tutoring, but I have no idea what he has accomplished in any of it. I mean, he used the system to cast a spell - I have no idea if this has any significance because there is literally no explanation, but it seems to maybe be a big deal - maybe? He also, with absolutely no build-up, starts flirting with the female lead. She has, at best, half of a personality. I know next to nothing about her, and her only words have been to say she is a genius and to basically dissing the MC for being incompetent, which also raises her favorability with the MC. On top of that, the whole premise of the book makes no sense. He is also, for some reason, a tutor to a student who does not need tutoring and is already a prodigy that frequently outperforms her previous tutors. All while the MC has questionable abilities to cast magic? I also have no idea what info the surrounding characters are supposed to know about the MC, which seems to be everything execpt the system, because he will spout random stuff about his life before isekai or that is about to happen and people seem to be like: "Oh. Okay. That makes sense. I would also be upset about that." Then they move on like nothing happened. The surrounding characters also seem to be either bi-polar or suffering from severely poor writing that started from shallow character introductions and only a few brief and trivial interactions in the story before immediately leaving the scene (or not, since they also seemed to be there later, despite leaving). If I had to summarize this all up, the 2 biggest problems I am seeing are a lack of focus and lack of explanation. I know there are like 15 characters, but I know nothing about them any of them - including the MC. I see the female lead get slightly impressed, but why is she impressed since she seems more than capable of the same actions herself?

    The thing that actually sucks is that it did work. I think they changed the whole algorithm, so it suggests what you actually listed as your preference. I do not see any way to delete past reviews, so I can't remove it now

    The biggest issue with this story is that there are definitely power levels, but there are no power levels at the same time. Our protagonist (a tier 1) is fighting the main support character (a tier 3) on equal footing, and both of them can allegedly fight the head master of their school (a tier 7) head to head. It seems to mostly be a system the kingdom uses to rate them based on merit, but they use a system to rate non-humans, which seems more conclusive. In my mind, a single tier should be able to be gapped if one is skilled enough, and 2 or 3 max at lower tiers should be able to be bridged if they are unbelievably powerful. Additionally, the protagonist learns things ridiculously fast. He supposedly has 5 times comprehension speed but has gotten the hang of an extremely taxing and high-level technique after like a week, maybe 2 of what seems to be slightly more stringent training. Even at 5 times speed, that is an extremely powerful technique for someone to learn in at most 10 weeks. I have a couple more gripes, but those were the main two.

    It is good, but the reason I subtracted points from the world background is that the author brings up some pretty outrageous things and quickly moves on and will (probably?) explain them later. You can only allude to certain activities in the past so many times before an explanation is required. At this rate, it just feels like a Mary Sue situation where our MC is flawless and performs with military precision all because he eats his vegetables. Also, the weird creature with antler robes walking down the street like a monkey probably needs more elaboration and acknowledgment than just ignoring it and leaving.

    It confused me for days the first time I saw it, but since I know it now, it is more amusing

    This likely had the original tag as the romance genre. There is something wierd with the recommendations that likes (or at least used to like) to get stuck in recommending romance and only romance (with a bit of lgbt and historical - which are still tend to be subtypes of romance). Rating the genre low would lessen the hold and let the recommendations shift to other genres, but it would cycle back every so often, so you would have to do negative reviews again. I also think (but never bothered to verify) if you rate a book, it will stop recommending it. I am not sure if it is specific to bad reviews or if it could be any review, but it is not worth the time to figure it out, and I just wanted to get out of the cycle and that did it Currently, it looks like they are breaking up the romance genre and probably contemporary romance as well since I have not seen that tag in a while. I think the repeated romance recommendations are the reason for it.

    I am a bit above 400 chapters in the story, but there is not really much in the way of romance. There are 2 women that are close with the MC, and they seem to have feelings for him, but it is not really a romance situation.

    It's mostly fantasy. I usually enjoy the regression style of books, at least for a while. They tend to suffer either from getting a bit repetitive over time, lacking a driving force to motivate to story, or the MC getting so powerful that it there is barely any threat to cause their actions to possibly have consequences. All of those tend to be things that you find only after reading a bit
