This is definitely an unusual story, but it does have a pretty amusing start. Honestly, it's easy to have a lot of fun starting this novel and going along for the ride until about 1/4th of the way into the story. Silly as it is, you can see a lot of effort was put into the "System" and it can be fun to watch his growth at the start. There are a lot of 4th wall breaks, but this is really only at the beginning and this (mostly) stops after the 5th chapter or so. The story starts off pretty good but slowly gets worse as time goes on. As the title might imply, the MC is reincarnated as a stick. Which is funny at first, but stops being funny later and the story honestly doesn't have a lot to fall back on. The MC himself is kinda bland a lot of the time, and the other characters he interacts with are usually just as bad. The first recurring character he meets is introduced in a somewhat forced way and just decides to tag along with him regardless of how he feels. Aside from her initial meeting, she's not THAT bad, but isn't anything special personality-wise. The other characters he meets, end up disappearing and taking a backseat 80% of the time. When they do appear, they're pretty forgettable. Speaking of forgetting, the MC does this...a LOT. He ends up forgetting many things and sometimes making the most ridiculous errors anyone with common sense would notice. It's implied the villain is behind this, but it's hard to tell where the villain's manipulation starts and his own ignorance begins. If it is the villain's doing it is somewhat poorly explained and repeated way too often. While we're on the topic of antagonists, this story handles them even worse than their MC. The wizard wants to capture him and use him to make a weapon! ...Until he doesn't. Yeah, he ends up never meeting the MC, using something else, and it works out fine. All that buildup and background went nowhere. Until a wolf notices the MC and wants to use him to make himself stronger! ...Until he doesn't. Yep, antagonist ends up never meeting the MC when looking for him, uses something else, and it works out fine. But we can't forget the main villain who wants to turn the MC into a weapon... Wow, what exciting and compelling antagonists with such DIFFERING goals. Tldr: You might enjoy this story if it's not too silly for you. Read it about 1/4th of the way, then drop it while you still have any good memories of it.

well, this is truly a change of pace when it comes to reviews. i knew i did something wrong when i was writing it, but thank you for shedding light on what those mistakes are. i would like to ask you a bit more on what could be improved since I'm planning to rewrite the first three volumes from scratch. unfortunately, I've got classes so it'll be a long while before it appears. by then, might i ask you to reread the novel and give it another review?
