    Writing and world building is done well but I have dropped the novel at 330. Killing Wyntor was final straw with me. Larger part of the story is MC dealing with suicidal tendencies and mental problems and it can be triggering for someone who's going through shit in their life. I almost dropped this novel then but persisted by skipping some content because the story has high potential. MC is aimless in life and a hypocrite. Mental stress makes sense as he was a teenager killing people. At the start when he wanted to trade with Parasite, he had a moral compass to kill only those who were evil. Later in the story, the man goes about killing clerks and Extractors from another manufacturer even though they were not directly involved in attempt to kill him. He releases a spectre which goes on to kill more than 1000 people including his team members and people from dregs who he swore to protect and improve their life. He wallows in guilt and again the entire suicide tendencies start. Author is attempting to make MC a good guy when it is obvious that he is ruthless. and that's fine but then he goes on to kill Wyntor, his only friend and someone who trusted him, gave MC direction and kept the company going. So what if he secretly had Horua killed? It was MC's mistake all along even though he was warned by Wyntor to not make him an extractor. The 16 year old MC was naive and he put a kids life's danger, a kid who didn't even know him properly nor trust him. MC painted and idealistic scenario to the kid and put him in a coma for years. What's more ridiculous is in the latest chapters, after having a Spectre kill Wyntor, he blamed everything bad happening to him such as Horua' s and Pator's death on Wyntor and absolved himself of guilt. Wyntor as a CEO and friend did the right thing by killing the kid. His only mistake was that Wyntor trusted MC in latest chapter and confessed in attempt to ease his guilt of releasing a Spectre who killed thousands of people. Mfer has body count in 4 digits and he is such a coward that he couldn't off himself. MC thinks that Wyntor was using him like his father but for a dog eat dog world where humans are so weak, who doesn't. That's life. There are always some selfish reasons why we associate with each other. Irony is that Wyntor lied to his family and gave MC the entire company in case of his death. He trusted MC more than his family and MC doesn't have any reaction to this. Wyntor trained him and gave him everything in life which is purpose, power, weapons and high enough salary to get a home and live a comfortable life. What's worse is that the MC asked a sentient spectre, an enemy of humanity and someone who has been manipulating him to kill Wyntor, just to escape the consequences. Fking coward. And what a convenient plot device. A spectre asks him for a wish cos of some bet he lost, after MC clashed with Wyntor and nearly choked him to death. Of the original characters, only Jenny and MC remain and with MC jumping ships, Jenny is probably going to fade in obscurity. This is the end of my rant. Story has potential but the character building and suicide triggers has ruined the story for me. Wyntor's death was the last straw. Hence this story's not for me. Thanks for the hard work, author!

    I have read chapters till 950 and I can say that this is one of the top 3 stories I've read on this site. This is not a story for you if you are into Emperor domination or Korean power fantasy harem novel. This story and its arcs feel very fresh and exciting and I can personally feel the highs and lows of the story and what the main character goes through. The story universe seems so expansive and deep and I feel that we have scratched only part of the lore. My main commitment to this story is to see whether MC manages to defy fate and break its chains and how he grows in the face of impossible challenges and despair he encounters.Keep it up Author!!

    How did this novel get at top of rankins? isnt this synopsis a copy of another sign in novel? I think it's called '80 years of signing in, I am invicible' or something like that. Atleast be original.

    I didn't expect a system/sign-in story novel to be actually good. 60 chapters in and the story is still interesting, writing is decent and the novel hasn't lost itself in the system rpg novel formula like many other novels on this platform have. Worth a read. will update this review in future. Great work author!
