I’ve read twenty chapters and I have to say that this novel is definitely worth checking out. The unique system adds a fresh touch to an overdone genre. Of course there’s always downsides to a good novel. First downside: Weak character building so far as most characters that aren’t the mc seem to be pretty dumbed down making for a somewhat less interesting novel. Second downside: This might not bother some but it majorly bothers me only because it’s always way overdone and that’s the fact that the MC is hiding his power even from his own allies for no reason. This is definitely one of the more heavy downsides as it makes for a less interesting story and even slows the mc down in his path to power. Another thing that isn’t really a downside but should be noted is that the MC doesn’t really care about anyone but himself is a good manipulator which is good for survival but also know that he won’t have any true friends in this novel as his personality is one who sees only the profit a person can bring to him.

LIKE1. The characters aren’t dumb downed but portrayed as teenagers making teenagers descion. Some try to be smart while mostly stick in groups. I haven’t touched their personality cause I wanted to establish the personality of the MC himself first. 2. The reason he hides his powers is because of his past (I have touched it a little in the later chapters) but he simply avoids showing his complete true self to others. Plus he consider them friends enough to help them out but not close enough to share his secrets. You can even say that his school life was mostly of a loner. His real friends are those outside of school whom he meets later. 3. His personality was created based as a flaw. Like every human being has a couple he too has them. The idea was to develop and grow him as he realises his personality traits and overcomes them slowly with time and trials. A perfect MC that does everything perfectly isn’t exactly something I like to draw. I would rather have a MC with flaw that reaches perfection through all sorts of trials.
I’m just commenting how it appears at chapter twenty but everything sounds good I’ll wait to see how it turns out.
all those reasons arent valid im a teenager and i think the mc's are stupid and it's not like showing he can fight and not be a nuisance is showing his power as long as he doesn't tell people he's a gamemaster he's always gonna be hiding his true power
