Review Detail of JaegarMaxim in The Oracle Paths

5/5 Character Development 5/5 Story Development 5/5 World Background 5/5 Character Design 10/5 System "Cheat" *Background spoilers only, not major plot points* This story is phenomenal. The author flips the typical "system" storyline where the MC gets an advantage because of their system by instead making the "system" available to everyone. Rather, the intervening factor that determines the MC's power is their tenacity, intelligence, and perspective. The Oracle System will show you the path to your goal and the probability of success and risks involved but your effort [and rank in the system¡] play an overwhelming part in your success. The world background is fascinating - alien races including humanity forced off their planets onto a world with increasing threats from their enemies forcing them to all strive to get stronger to protect themselves and those they love, or simply perish. The world seems similar to the Chinese "Gu" myth where a thousand poisonous animals are placed in a pot until only the strongest animal and poison survives. The world is rushing to a tipping point and their starting "race" becomes less and less important as they "evolve".As part of this evolution process, the Ordeals, trials created by the system to force growth and bestow opportunities, are absorbing challenges that offer a unique chance for every character and their teams to develop. The character development of the MC grows in-step with the world building and story, with the scale of the threat, the strength to survive, and the burden of responsibility for the lives of his teammates is felt by the reader. The MC is quite stunted socially at first due to his introversion and self-hatred on Earth, but this slowly develops as he learns basic interaction skills and grows to be a leader to those who stand beside him. Lastly the updating stability is excellent, only falling short when unexpected life events come the authors way. To me this is the best system sci-fi on webtoon and I absolutely recommend that you pick this up.
