The rating is heavily influenced by the fact that the author killed off 2 of my favorite side characters and has some random guy carrying around their bodies in his shadow for over 150 chapters. I have a lot of other complaints, like the constant ridiculous increases and decreases the author makes to the MC, which I consider unnecessary nerfs, or the fact that the author completely disregards one of his elements entirely for 220+ chapters (void). Mc doesn't even use some of his skills anymore, over 200 chapters and he's only at apprentice rank with a few of his elements. This is honestly the first time I've seen someone remain pathetic even with a system. Overall, the story was good at first, but it's become quite boring, confusing, and redundant. The pacing is all over the place and I'm starting to think the author dislikes the mc. The romance tag is completely useless since from what I've seen the mc has absolutely no interests in any of the great love interests introduced. One of the "love interests" is currently dead and rotting in a shadow , The other was just sent to her death-bed due to the mc's foolish decision to manipulate her actions using the trust she had for him , and the other 2 has had zero progress other than their initial meeting. 3/5 stars at best.

LIKEit's been over 100 chapters since one of the love interests died and the mc has everything he needs to revive Her since the beginning but hasn't and her body is currently rotting in one of his friend's shadow. the mc has a strong backing and all the ingredients yet he still does absolutely nothing . he literally got a chance to save her with the time element and failed but said "oh well" and never tried again after he saved some useless side character . I just got tired of being disappointed after a while and dropped. the romance tag is absolutely useless with the way the mc treats his potential love interests and I mean all of them. he sent the best one on a suicide mission after inviting her on a "date" and leaving her to fight someone on the same level as her with absolutely no warning or back up and then when she's injured and laying on her death bed with her daughter crying he finally asks himself if he could've done things better ? (he was at his brother's celebration while she was waiting for their "date" btw)
SimpleReaderPassin:lemme take a guess. Author will later make use of MC's template Hades to revive them
