Not going to lie, the name was a turn off for me, but I ended up giving it a try. The book has a good starting point, and it's not one that takes 100 chapters before you get drawn in or understand what is happening. The writing quality and grammar and spelling errors are among the best on this app, so the author cares about his work and not just about pushing out chapter after chapter. The story is already rolling before chapter 10, which was a huge plus for me. The world is slowly expanded from the mc pov so you get familiarized with it as the mc is while growing up so everything feels more organic and you don't feel a headache from pure info dump like in other stories. The system actually makes sense in how it works. The way it was created is a unique one in my opinion also which is nice. I'm over 700 chapters in currently btw. Yes, there are "young masters" but it doesn't feel too forced imo and actually feels like a normal thing (in my personal experience🤷‍♂️). This is not a harem, but has a single love interest. I suppose it wouldn't feel out of place for a second to happen in the future, but I doubt that is what the author will do based on the story so far. There are beasts with cores, skill books, potions, formations, death zones, familiars from another world, heroes become heroes by being granted a hero crest to boost their stats only after rigorously proving themselves beforehand. The book has no mention, and has not shown, any person making potions or formations, which is kind of bugging me. I would rather the mc "raise" trustworthy people to create potions and formations for him. Why buy potions from a store when you can have an underling do it for you for very little cost🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️. The mc still doesn't really know what his wisdom stat is for, like 99% of people, but knows there is benefit so he still ups it. All the mages have to chant🤦‍♂️. The world building is done really well. This isn't a kingdom building story, but it is definitely an army building one later on in the story. The system is like a computer that can't respond, so no asking questions, no snarky remarks from it. The mc could definitely make more use of his system to get stronger, but sadly, he is not becoming a genius by raising his stats🤦‍♂️ I won't say he is dumb, but he is definitely not among the smartest😅 (he only has 2 resistances at this point if that tells you anything🤦‍♂️) A type of TV exists in this world. I think that about does it for my review. Overall, I was very surprised to find out this was actually a good book after my initial distaste for the title(although aptly named🤷‍♂️)
