The setting is good, the storyline has potential, but the MC is pretty boring. The MC is a liar and a thief. He signs a bad contract, deals with the consequences, and regresses. The outcomes isn’t even that poor. It’s just forced retirement. I didn’t get far enough into the story to see if there were other issues with the MC and the guild. However, with the MC personality he was most likely willingly doing anything that would be morally questionable. Examples are One of the first things he does is punch his best friend, lie, and steal. The MC keeps lying the entire time. He “tricks” NPCs with nonsensical things and it appears to be an attempt at being funny, but it falls flat for me. In one paragraph he says not to mess with NPCs and then in the same chapter he’s lying, stealing, and tricking the NPCs.

If you were reading the novel for the goody-two shoes hero MC, who will only do righteous thing. Then I must apology because you're in the wrong novel. Yes, MC is indeed a very flaw character and somewhat contradictory in terms of logical process, but those were all risks he's willing to take to get a head start. Seriously, if you expect the MC to play by the rule, obey everything, then how is he going to achieve his objective? When have you seen any protagonist achieve their revenge against a Behemoth by playing safe and following the law? Maybe you have seen them, but the reality is, they aren't realistic and it's a pipe dream for that to even happen. Overall, the MC was never depicted as a "good guy" or anything. He's in the gray area, and it's up to the readers such as you to interpret who he is. But one thing is positive, the MC doesn't seek approval from anyone. He knows he's not a good buy, but there's also a bottom line that he won't ever cross,

I don’t like goody-two shoe MC. I do like MCs that plan what they are going to do. A spur of the moment idea to steal all the herbs, then being surprised it back fires, then having a convoluted and unfunny stand off with guards, doesn’t make for a reliably cool or edgy MC. It turns them into a joke. Like the guy that tried to sell petrified wood as steel. It’s just silly. It fell flat for me, but I hope you get 100k+ people that like and enjoy it. I did like the setting and your authors voice, just not the MC you were giving life to. Good luck

Heh, good to know and I wasn’t claiming you like goody-two shoes from statement. It was vague but what I meant was that I’m not writing a MC that everyone would love and support. He’s just not in that kind of setting of being “morally right” like most goody two shoes MC. He’s the type that tread around the borderline of good and bad.

Hey, man, do you have a discord server? Also, I wanted to ask if you will restart Game Lord's Cultivation System again.

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists." [Commencing card creation using ingredients, i)Bloody Veins - G Rank, Mortal Grade ii)Nyon Rope - G Rank, Mortal Grade iii)Common Core - G Rank, Mortal Grade Card creation… complete! Card Name: Bloody Rope Card Type: Item Card Card Rank: E Rank, Common Grade Card Rating: 3 Stars Card Durability: 100/100 Card Effect: The Bloody Rope can bind and incapacitate its target. When in contact with a target’s wound, it triggers paralysis and blood drain effects. Additional Effect: Paralysis, Blood Drain] "This can’t be real! You used G-rank mortal-grade ingredients and yet crafted an E-rank common-grade card with full durability and a three-star rating? This isn’t real—I must still be dreaming! I couldn’t possibly have woken up today—this has to be a dream!"
