It's been almost 4 months, so I supposed it's time for me to write a review and let you all know what you're supposed to expect and not to expect in this novel. 1. Is this a heavy sci-fi element? Yes, it's meant to be a heavy sci-fi element, but if you haven't seen much of it yet, then please do be patient about it. I'm writing hard to develop things slowly and not just speed run or write hastily which could ruin the storyline. 2. Is the novel going to be about Mechanic? Yes, the main character, Shi Tian, also known as Nathan (alias), is a mechanic and more detailed explanation and aspect regarding the mechanic path would be explained as you gradually read more. 3. World building/info dumping? Yes and no, the world is still being constructed despite having 200chs+ already. I don't like to simply write a whole chunk of text filled with the world and info dumping, but gradually revealed them bits by bits, allowing the readers to digest the information. 4. Action-packed? Definitely, what kind of sci-fi doesn't have action packed? Keep in mind that the action/fighting would be different than most novels, given it's a Sci-fi, so weapons are advanced and might not even exist (at least in this current era), so don't attempt to go "how is this possible" or "that's impossible" on technologies that seemed far-fetched. 5. Romance Element? Currently not the main focus of the novel, so don't expect to see lovely-dovey moment or cute moment. There would be interactions between the Main character and numerous female characters, but the number will be kept in a ratio similar to the Main character interaction with other male characters. 6. I seemed to have read this kind of novel before... If you have this sense of deja vu, then you aren't wrong if you have read "The Legendary Mechanic" novel before. This novel is inspired from it, so there are elements that are similar, but the plotline is completely different. TLDR: Thank you for reading the novel, and I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions, feel free to comment below, but note, I might not give a clear answer for your questions depending on what it is.

LIKEFirst if all, I do like a bit a slow paced and steady world building. But I'm on chapter 83 and still cant tell if this is just pure Sci-Fi/Fantasy without the "SYSTEM". I'm only reading because of the "SYSTEM". When he got his new robotic right arm which was integrated into the "SYSTEM", there wasn't no display of it just saying the MC found out about it but it wasn't shown is not fair for us who are solely reading because of the "SYSTEM". I'll read a bit more, if you keep leaving out the "SYSTEM" then you ain't fulfilling what you've promised.
The System isn't showing up because Shi Tian hadn't been actively looking at his status screen nor grinding the experience points to level up. He's in a "safe zone city" after all, but the system does appear(once he leave the city to the wilderness to train[ch106]) and play an active role in increasing his strength/utilities.
