I voted for this series hoping to get a horror novel on here... I was incredibly disappointed. That is not what this is. Admittedly, the protagonist only has an IQ of 7/10, which would roughly be an IQ of 70 and which makes him borderline mentally disabled. At least, the author knows the MC is Not Smart. While reading some of the decisions the MC makes, I had to take a moment to stare at my computer screen wondering why he made Choice A compared to a safer, more logical Choice B or why he isn’t aware of another option. The train of logic the MC follows is really… unique. It feels like he’s only making choices for the plot rather than making choices according to his character. This is an excellent series for facepalming, if that's what you're looking for. According to his stats, he has high willpower, which is apparently not enough to refrain from ingesting strange objects, controlling his hunger, sticking to his career path, or attending school. Even though he was in the military, his discipline is shockingly weak. Rather than the stats actually using the mean to be the average, it appears the stats were calculated by averaging the maximum and minimum values rather than the true mean, making them fairly insensible and irrelevant. What is this bizzaro math? The writing is poor with an awkward tempo regardless of action or inaction. If the MC is in a dangerous situation, all it takes is one blink, and Plot has saved him without any drama. The writing is weak and dull, especially for an action series. Even when the protagonist is in the midst of a life-or-death struggle, there is no anticipation for what happens next. Throwing out a bunch of stat panels is how to pull someone into a game, not a novel. There are plenty of web novels which use stat panels well, but this is not one of them. There is adventure. However, there isn’t any horror, suspense, or comedy. Even the adventure itself is unappealing and can't garner my interest as a reader. The MC is a character with low IQ, who is essentially a metaphorical robot controlled and manipulated by the plot. No other characters have any substance at all eleven chapters in. Incredibly dull and not even remotely exciting. Not recommended unless you're looking for a story that can give you plenty of lampooning moments.

Wow, this is a really well written review. Totally covered everything I was thinking of, lol.
Damm you took the words out of mouth. But also would like to point out that despite the mc willingness and obvious atraction to females since chapter 1, he refuses to have any meaningfull relation with any of the heroines and in fact knows they really care about him. This is a new low on mc betaness. Obliviousness to his own feelings lol
And there is that weird scene of the mc having a hard-on for a girl on the bus...

I came back after reading another review and wondering why did I dropped this novel, but after reading your review I remembered it's because of MC's low iq. The decision made by mc make you to cheer for the villains and hope to see them snapping MC's neck
Hmm I share your same sentiments. But for some reason, I still enjoy reading this novel 🤔🤷♂️
Well, it mean that your... ...hmm, you know... a "M"...🤷♂️
