I'm not sure how to feel about the story. It's got good power-system concepts, average to below-average execution, almost-wrong synopsis, and some weird pseudo-harem romance fantasy nonsense, which is all fine honestly, but the thing that completely throws me off is the weird ideological pushes that keep happening. (Not spoiling story, but this is a scenario that happens [Low-Quality Detail]) For example: (In the first 50 chapters, or so) The Main Character has a 'friend' in his team, and that friend likes a girl, who is also on the team. That girl and the MC hit it off, even though the MC knows that his 'friend' likes her and im pretty sure they've had some sort of talks about it. So they (MC and the girl) complete a mission together, and for some reason, the MC kisses her, and takes a picture of them kissing when she isn't paying attention, just to send that picture to ONLY the friend that likes her, like that is something friends do. Not to mention the MC has a girl that he's technically 'with' back at the place he left literally a few days/weeks before he came here and teamed up with them all. Thats really cringe and toxic. Those arent good character traits, nor are they likeable or relatable, as far as im concerned. Character development and writing-wise, that's really bad and counterintuitive execution. That's intentionally making your character less likeable, in general. As well as the general lack of depth to most characters in the story, it's difficult to value any of the characters or development coming from from any of them, especially if he's just going to be devolving, or better yet, 'evolving backwards', then there isn't much to look forward to in terms of character interactions other than cringe narcissistic behaviors and senseless 'romance'. These are ideals and beliefs specifically from the authors' mind and fantasies. That includes their general takes on what 'women' are, as well as how they should act in regards to interacting with men and society, as well as the extreme, yet expected, nationalism takes. I haven't even gotten far yet and I've noticed too many things that didn't align with the story itself, but through the ideological pushes of the author, become forcibly included into the writing in a poorly-thought-out and poorly-applied manner. Final Conclusion: If you can turn your brain off and ignore the ignorance happening all over, than it's manageable, but otherwise, it's another attempt from an author to live out their kinks, fantasies, and ideological beliefs in their writing, and then subjecting an audience to it to gain some validation for their worldviews and interests. Usually i can tell, but at this point I cannot rationalize if this perception of mine is based on translation quality and the specifics around the changing the meanings of one language to another, or if im more spot on than i first imagined. The raw might be worded completely different and mean something else entirely, as far as I could know. Sadly, the versions/translations in English that I'm seeing are mid at-best and sexist/racist/degenerate at-worst. So this is best I can do with the details I have, so far.
