Honest reviews are here..
[Reminder: Extreme Spoiler Alert]
This novel is about MC who are a genius and talented kid but after going through a certain event during his teenager, he got traumatic experience by that event and that had changing him into introvert adult (right now, MC is 20 years old).. As the title of this novel, MC awakened a Plunder ability, which is categorised as 'Z-rank'..
Ability is starting from H<G<F<E<D<C<B<A<S<SS<SSS<??? (Unknown rank), from weakest into the strongest.. Yes, Z-rank is not a typo, and it is also not in the ranking.. But the author sometimes keeps changing the name of MC ranking ability.. Sometimes, the author called it unknown rank. Sometimes, he called it Z-rank, and sometimes he called it Unranked.. Well, maybe Z-rank is an Unranked, maybe they same thing.. So, instead of using universal rank like EX-rank or SSR-rank or SRR-rank, the author uses a new name, Z-rank..
Not everyone is awakened.. And so far (Ch250), everyone awakened one ability.. MC Plunder ability is giving him a free stat point on every monster he kills and their ability.. As MC grows stronger, he no longer gets free stat point from weak monsters..
The pace of MC growth rate is not too fast but also not too slow. You can say it is at a steady pace.. The story at first seems quite normal with all modern technology nowadays on earth.. The story is quite interesting until suddenly, the author makes his family a hidden clan of martial arts.. And apparently, earth has a mage clan, martial arts clan, vanpire and so on BEFORE earth awakening.. His father and his mother then inform him about their secret clan after the apocalypse happen..
And don't misunderstand with the word apocalypse here.. When you heard apocalypse, you might imagine a zombie and many types of zombies.. But it is not about zombies.. Apocalypse here means that the world has changed and monsters are coming out from the gate/portal (temporarily) from another world.. Monster like goblin, wolf, corpse eater, gnoll, velnora, undead, wyvern and so on.. The world is awakening, and 40% of the world population gains abilities..
MC, who at first hunted monster with a teenager girl.. But then the vibe of this novel becomes weird when the author changes it, MC is suddenly hunting monster with his mom and dad.. The direction of this novel going right now is unbelievable.. MC is already 20 years old, and wow.. I am really speechless with this novel sudden development..
After MC awakened, he become righteous person where he feel guilt and regret not be able to save other people, then, he try his best to save people, ignore bullies/gangster sometimes to avoid killing anyone and his 1st time killing a human is at Ch71. Plus, with his parent on his side 24/7, MC action is limited, and he can't become ruthless.. So, MC never got a chance to kill anyone and Plunder their ability..
But he has teammates, his girlfriend who gives 1,000% loyalty to MC, and she does the "dark operation" behind MC back.. Well, MC is too kind and letting bad guys go without beat, cripple or kill them.. Even though they secretly want revenge later on, MC will let them go.. Even if he want to harm them, his parent will advise him to let them go.. So, this girl secretly kill them without MC know, so their group will avoid getting trouble in the future.. The only regret was that MC couldn't gain the bad guys ability because he didn't kill them personally.. Well, when he is not with his parents, he can become quite ruthless and merciless to villain and still try his best to save others..
There is also a villain who is a Regressor.. So, MC knows nothing but has a Plunder ability while this villain is a Regressor who is a psychopath who knows many knowledge and future events.. With many future knowledge, this villain gains many opportunities that boosting his power become stronger.. And he used the disaster itself to turn it into his benefit UNTIL he met MC on labyrinth dungeon..
What is even worse is that MC is unconscious for 3 days as he is Plunder the skill and try to awakened that D-rank skill.. The result is that MC evolved two of his D-rank skills into C-rank ability.. MC used to be one of the highest levels awakened, but because of he unconscious for 3 days, he fell behind everyone.. The most top ranker awakened is around Lv30+ while MC is still Lv13.. You could see that the author started to nerf the MC and make others awakened stronger than him.. It is very disappointed in development..
In exchange for C-rank ability, MC loses 3 days of his times and falls behind everyone in exchange FOR C-RANK ABILITY.. Yes, yes, I know, you might think 3 days is short, but it not.. There are major changes in that 3 days' times.. The world has stabilised, and the people change adopt with the new environment.. Government start established the world, release statements and strategies for hunting the monster, raiding the dungeon, selling the body part monsters, dividing the awakened class, alchemy, blacksmith andso on.. What a major drawback and backlash.. I don't understand by this suddenly nerfed for MC.. Just why?? Why?? It is just 60+ chapters, bro..
Soloing? MC is only soloing before Ch.9.. After Ch.9 MC, NEVER solo anything.. He always has his teammate in anywhere he goes, ALWAYS..
Harem? Possibly.. MC has one girlfriend but there are many other girls interested in him.. And MC only does R18 with his girlfriend.. And the author kinda put R18 on the chapter thet has one which kinda good thing as if you want to skip the scene..
I am an OP fan.. And I know some people hate OP MC.. But don't worry, MC is OP but the author kinda nerfing MC too.. MC plunder ability only works if he kills that monster or the person himself.. He can't gain the skill or ability without killing them.. Plus, with his kind heart, he won't hurt anyone just to gain their ability.. Even if he find a corpse of a monster or awakened, he can't gain their ability and skill as he not killing them himself..
Sometimes, I think that the author is extravagant on something or makes it unrealistic in number.. For example, MC best friend little sister needs an unimaginable grade of resources and material to upgrade her, like a lv100+ core monster and divine blessing.. And she just has S-rank ability.. Even the MC himself just needs one D-rank monster core (less than lv50) and that monster blood where he has a Z-rank ability.. And MC gives her Lv300 monster core and divine blessing, which improves her mana pool/mana reserve.. I was like, what the fork?
On 2nd season, this novel start to introduce other races such as Elves (yes), Dwarves (yes), Dragon-kin (not yet), Mer-folks (not yet), Beast-folks (not yet), Lizard men (not yet), and Orcs ( not yet) who come from different world while the portal/gate from the world connected to earth.. They have been called otherworlder.. They are stronger than human on earth as earther highest level is lv63 (MC lv55) while the otherworlder average level is lv100..
The only reason why the otherworlder not eliminate earther is because of their common enemy, The Demon.. As they are in wars with Demons, instead of eliminating each other, it better allies together to eliminate Demon.. Which kind of shows how strong the Demon race is..
But even though there are many races that arrive on earth, there is not much interaction or the scene of them.. Mostly, on the 2nd season, it is about MC trying to eliminate dark organisations and top powerhouse that have enmity on MC.. The story ends (at Ch250) in the middle of MC trying to rescue the victim from the top powerhouse and destroy them (not happened yet due to the novel has stop updated)..
It has been more than 9 months since this novel last updated.. I guess this novels also have been abandoned, so I give one star on update stability.. It story very good for OP MC fan.. Too bad that this novel stop updating..
