So... I read the first Volume and i most likely won't read more of the story. Wich is sad because I like the style of story's and am a big fan of crafting focused story's. There are a few reasons for me dropping this story. First is the lack of world background, stuff just happens, that's it, no real Infos why or how. Most of this events get 1 paragraph at most hinting to it but still no real reason is given for most. Some would say it's a mystery but the amount of this happenings is so big that even after a full volume i basically don't know more then in the first 10 ch. The interaction of the MC and the other Characters in the world is forced, again no real reason is given ( hey you are in the same guild as me!!, i only know you for a few days but how about i tell you one of my greatest secrets!) The story also has a bit of a flow problem at least in the first Volume where I'm not even shure anymore if it's Slow or fast paced because the Stats and Boni don't make any sense compared to Enemy's and Powerlevel. Quality wise the story is ok, the basic Characters are a bit one dimensional but it's only the first Volume that I have read so maybe the Autor is going for a slow Development. The Plot Armor is thick for the MC, like really thick. Objectively i would rate the story at about 3/5 It's not bad, but from what I have read it not really fleshed out. The first Volume reads like a draft paper, with stuff that should happen, but the way is not yet written. So 3/5 because it has massiv Potential but just isn't really there yet. Now to my Personal reason for dropping it. I found it boring, i wanted to drop the story after ch. 27 but I forced myself to at least finish a Volume and give it a Chance. But yeah in the end I was bored. The story is like I said basically a draft paper, nearly no personal development of the characters. I'm not shure what the Story what's to be, Op MC story? , Crafting Master story, Game Level Story? , Skill steal story? , A Story about Personal growth? Kingdom / Guild Building? Because up until the end of the first Volume it's nothing of those, the potential is there, but it's all rather raw and unfinished. But Like is said that doesn't mean the story is bad, just that I didn't like it that much, and I'm maybe overly Critical but I believe constructive Criticism is important if one want to grow. I am trying to write a story myself, but it's just a draft write now and I think I scraped about 10 drafts already because not the Criticism of my friends and myself. So if the Autor reads this, i don't want to put you down or something , the chapter Count tells me that you put massiv amounts of effort into this story. It's just my opinion, i hope you keep going and get better each an every Chapter you write. I personally want to advise others to give the story a try tho. Just because it's not my cup of Tea doesn't mean others won't like it, give it a try.
