    Yeah, sure. 1. Which novel would ever describe the path the MC is taking in such a great detail that you'd be able to follow it? 2. Even if it did, how many time did he re-read the novel to be able to remember such a useless detail?

    I forgot to mention one thing: it's crazy that in 100 chapters he didn't make any research about his family! They apparently are crazy rich, so a quick research on the internet should reveal some information, as Claire mentioned the Locke company. Also, I didn't understand why he pretended to be the same instead of pretending to have lost his memory. That would make sense if he was in a dangerous situation, but sis family seems super friendly. They would've helped him for sure.

    This review contains spoilers for the first 80 chapters of the novel. I had high expectations coming into this novel, as the "extra" narrative is something I enjoy, sadly I was disappointed. My complaints started when he first fought against the assassin in the Deus Company. He received his powers the day before, didn't train with them, and casually decided to fight against a TRAINED ASSASSIN?! How stupid is he? [He could have tried to escape, the assassin didn't seem to be interested in him. And with the system, he can have as much money as he wants, the CEO wasn't that important] The only reason he won was because he completed the quest, and that's another weird thing. For the quest he had to survive for 15 minutes, and you are telling me that they took that long to exchange a few words and a couple of blows? What an incompetent assassin! Also the way he wins is ridiculous. He uses a skill that I still fail to understand: the neutralize magic skill. The description of the skill is simple, but that leaves behind a lot of questions that are left unanswered: what is the range of the skill, and how much area does it cover? It only says a location, but does that mean that he needs to locate the precise point where the magic will be created, or is there a margin of error? Is it like a 1m sphere? 1 cubic meter? Who knows. And then the MC trusting the assassin was completely moronic. Leaving aside what happened later, did he really think that he could keep up pretenses for a long time? Did he really think Alpha wouldn't suspect a thing after seeing how weak the first seat was? I won't detract points from the novel for this, but something that annoys me are the girls in the novel. When I see the no-harem tag, what I think is a romantic subplot with just two people. Instead, I am 80 chapters in and we already have Rachel, Sarah, and even some weird moments with the teacher. There isn't anything concrete for now, but in 80 chapters flirty moments with 3 people is not to my liking. Seeing that there were other people with a system was quite interesting. Moving to the school trip arc, more problems arise. Firstly, did no one really notice that two classes of students (the two best ones, by the way) were sent in the middle of nowhere? And why didn't the professor try to resolve the issue on his own? Why does he need a bunch of kids? I don't know if I missed the explanation but I didn't get it. I also didn't like how the MC is behaving. When he's at the guild, and he finds out about the missing girl, he lashes out on the people there because they didn't help, but that's stupid. He's in completely different circumstances from them. They don't have a system. They can't buy potions, they can't create skills, they don't have multiple elements or the ability to nullify magic! They are vulnerable people who just want to provide to their family. They don't have an obligation to help others. Sure, maybe that means that they are not good people, but so what? Additionally, it's not like he's a saint. He also killed humans back at the hotel. Did he check that all of them were evil people without families? He also probably killed someone that was loved, it seems something so out of character.... Another issue is the power scaling of this world. There are ranks, but they don't seem to matter much. What is the difference between an S level and an F one? It's never shown (aside from the fight with Jin, but he's probably the strongest human in the world). Also ranks doesn't really matter because he can just nullify other people's power. In conclusion, I had some issues with the first part of the novel. Nevertheless, I will continue reading a bit more, and will maybe upload the review if it gets better.

    I don't agree with him at all. Who do you think you are to tell someone to risk their life for someone else? You are in completely different circumstances. They don't have a system, they can't buy potions, they don't have 5 elements affinities. Also, you are just being a hypocrite. You already killed lots of people (back at the hotel), it's not like you are a good person. To summarize, if you want to save her, do it. But do not blame someone if they don't want to.

    No, in this case he's right. If you have an appraisal skill in a world full of dangers, you should always use it on everyone.

    If Ayanokoji was transmigrated to a fantasy novel. If I had to recap the novel in one line, I would use that one. Obviously, there is more to it, as this novel is excellent. There are mysteries, fights, excitement.  Writing: flawless. Plot: extremely interesting. I can't say too much to avoid spoiling, but there are a lot of mysteries on what's actually going on in this world, and you are forced to continue reading. MC: he's great. He's all for equality, in the sense that to survive he'll kill men, women and children alike. Yup, I'm not joking. Sadly, the novel is not being updated anymore, but it's still a great novel if you have nothing to read. Regarding romance, it's not really present in the released chapters. There is a girl, and they kinda like each other, but they are not together yet. Also, she's kinda sus for something she did, but surely it's nothing. Surely... To summarize, if you have nothing to read, then pick up this novel. Just be aware that it's been dropped for 7 months, and will likely never be updated again.

    I hope the author notes stop being in the middle of a chapter. I understand wanting to explain something, but they break the immersion if you read them in the middle.

    Honestly... it's great. I changed my mind about this novel a few times while reading. At the start, I was very skeptical. The premise wasn't that interesting and original. Most importantly, the writing is quite bad. The weakest point by far. The author doesn't use commas nearly enough, as in an entire screen of text, you may find only a couple of commas... And the writing is the first thing you notice in a novel. If you can get past that however, you can find an incredible novel, with fun stuff, romance, and mysteries. I really like how the author balances wins and losses for the MC. I really don't want to go into detail on this, as spoiling would ruin one of the best thing about this novel: the twists that happen. I love how the author gave a in-universe reason for the plot armor. It's not going to be revealed immediately, but it does gets explained, and it's very important in my opinion. In all stories the MC has a plot armor, but having a reason adds so much immersion, and causes fun moments. I wish the author expanded more on the side characters. There are quite a lot, so there is no time to explain their abilities, which is a bummer. The villain seems very interesting, we still don't know much, but I really like his characters, and that he's not the usual arrogant prick. I really wish there were more characters, it's been so long since I found a novel that I liked so much. THEORY (SPOILER) As an additional note, I have a little theory. We know that Kyle's ancestor was the Ice Enchantress, and that she had two companions. We know that she liked one of them, but that she betrayed him together with the other guy. We also know that Aze had two companions, we don't know what happened but he clearly states that everyone that approached him with a kind exterior, has eventually betrayed him. Are these two the same story? Will Kyle have to repair the damage caused by his ancestor?

    They are still not together?! I thought they were taking things slow at the start, but this seems too much. After starting the leader summit arc, with all these restrictions, and seeing that even the romance didn't progress I feel demoralized from reading. Does something good happen after the leader summit, or does the novel just go downhill?

    Damn is it that bad? I just started the leader summit arc, and as soon as I saw all these restrictions I took a break because it was too annoying. It makes sense to limit his powers, but this seems way too much.
