I'm really not sure how THIS passed the trial read. Almost from the start the story asks you to shut off your brain and not in the good way you want from a decent action story. Even the most average action stories give some kind of background or life experience that attempts to explain all the abilities they have. But not in this one. The mc is just some kid with zero history that can explain him becoming Jason Bourne all of a sudden. He literally goes from zero to hero in the span of 1-2 chapters. His new AI buddy (Which isn't downloading anything into his brain btw. It would've made more sense if they used that cliche even if that did make it more contrived) discovers a lost martial art and day later he's read the manual and has worked himself up from the bottom in a virtual reality arena and is fighting geniuses and experts. Apparently one day of training is enough to have him dodging bullets with his brand spanking new "Step" technique and steamrolling almost a dozen experienced fighters with one hit KO's with a knock off Finger Pistol. If you want to compare this guy to Luffy that would be completely unfair because at least in One Piece he already had his "special sauce" devil fruit for years, had experience fighting mountain beasts and had Garp to throw him off cliffs and other torments disguised as training. Also, he didn't start out his journey as some absolute expert who'd already mastered Haki and would soon awaken his devil fruit. It's an insult to one piece to compare these two as if they're at all similar. This guy? He just showed up and already he's like Time Skip Luffy. That's an insane amount of growth to shove in front of a readers face and tell them to just accept or believe it. Anybody with a thinking brain can see the story did nothing to establish or explain it. Whoever this id*otic author is they in no way deserve to be thought of alongside a master like Oda. Literally the same thing that happened with... I don't remember what this story is calling it, but let's go with potion making. He went from Neville to Snape with literally no training, education or effort. And unlike before it happened not in a day, but literally hours! All that happened was he obtained the recipe for a potion with the help of his AI and was instantly not only able to brew it, but he brewed it to absolute perfection. Sure, the first one was kind of iffy, but by the time he was done brewing his tenth an actual Potion Master teacher was creaming her p*nties at the absolute talent of the mc. And a-fcken-gain!!!!!!!!! The story was SO lazy it didn't even bother to leverage the AI he had sitting on his bloody wrist! For christs sake, if the kids going to start showing Master level abilities after trying something for the first time at least have it be because the system is downloading information into his brain or guiding his hand. This is just some normal kid who had a nobodys life 2 days ago. Being given an AI who can supply him with Potion recipes and martial arts can't explain how he's improving so impossibly fast if it isn't hacking into his brain. I know it's a common enough complaint on sites like this for characters to have insane growth rates bordering on plot armor, but this story is absolutely on the extreme end of that scale. I can't press strongly enough how much I suggest against reading this id*otic story. To expand on another example I made, it's like Jason Bourne but he wasn't an elite CIA assassin in the past. Just some run of the mill dude. Everything else is the same from his fighting abilities to his track record killing everybody the movies ask him to, just without any kind of backstory to explain how he got that ability. That's what this story is. Don't read this, and please stop passing up quality stories for garbage like this in the Trial Reads. Even if the premise isn't the most interesting out of all the trial options at least you're not going to be insulted and asked not to think about the story your reading. Do everyone a favor and support the good writers.
