3.6 / 5 I like the story. The OG of the story is pretty interesting even if he is as generic as he could possibly be. My problem with the story is the following: essentially the first 10 chapters are a quick recap of the Hunter exam. Nothing really changes and we get a condensed version focusing almost solely on the OG. It's pretty interesting but nothing special. The author has so many chances to describe fights in details, explain things, expand the world... he just does not do it. A small spoiler here: The MC is a specialist... he of course does the test featuring the glas with water with a leaf on top. Every HXH fan knows: specialists have UNIQUE responses to the test and every time something different happens... so what happens for our mc? We do not now. The author decides to skip it and just writes a 1 liner where the mc says: "so I am a specialist". This type of writing runs like a red thread through the story. It's IMO lazy and boring writing even though the author has a pretty decent plot going for himself. Overall I still like the story and maybe I am just a bit harsher than all those "I like it so 5/5" drones but I feel at this point it may have potential but it also has obvious flaws that stop it from being a top story here.

First of all thank you for the insights. I appreciate it, really. That said, I disagree with most of the things you said. Yes, the first 10 chapter are a recap of the hunter exam with the POV of the MC. Let's be honest here, the Hunter exam is the most boring arc of the entire anime, I tried to be as concise as possible, trying not to lose character development for both Mc and the others, and still did 10 whole chapters on it. You wanted more descriptions or world building? Are you sure?? The water divination thing... By that point the readers already know that MC is a specialist. Yes, i could have described the scene, but that would have been a waste of time, from me explaining how the exercise work for the different categories, to the MC himself doing the exercise, do you understand that a good chunk of the chapter would have gone for that single scene that was completely filler? I agree with you that i could do better, especially in describing fights, but saying that i'm lazy ...
this review seems generous coming from you.😆. So I will give it a try
If it's boring for you, then it's boring for us, a summary of something boring is still boring
