I, for one, love these "rebirth" stories where the MC gains some sort of power after either dying or having a major accident happen to them. In most of these stories, the MC either travels to another world/dimension or remains in his current world, but the main similarity is that the MC gains some type of world rule-breaking ability that defies normal convention. The author for this story takes this in a new way and upgrades the MC's eye to have the ability to not only zoom in/out, x-ray, record, but it also the ability to learn and understand abilities and languages. He then uses it to further his career goals as a blue collar worker. The MC is a wholesome, nice guy that has all of the girls he interacts with fall for him in one way or another, but he never goes past the friendship level with those girls (which I find to a certain degree unrelatable and unrealistic). The females that the MC interacts with also seem unrealistic. The girls are either very dependent on the MC to the point that are submissive and can't think for themselves or they are too independent and aggressive that he come off as being bossy and bossing the MC around without him even being able to do anything. For example, his neighbor/childhood friend bosses him around and makes him buy things for her even to the point where she "borrows" his car and makes him pay for the gas and when he asks for it back she tells him she needs it now and he can have her old janky car. What is even more infuriating is that not only does he not even say anything to call her out on it or tell her she shouldn't do it, he just grumbles and agrees to her selfish demands. The author tries to portray the MC as a clever and savvy person when it comes to developing his business, but for some reason he can't even at the least tell this friend of his that what she is doing is overly selfish and that he will not enable her?!?? It would be at least a bit more understanding if he liked her, but throughout the story he has always maintained that he saw her like a sibling. Overall, I believe this story has great potential and I wish to see more chapters in he future (not sure why it stopped), my only complaint is in the character portrayal and I wished it was more realistic.
