A good story in which the MC(up to date) instead of constantly "winning" instead experiences setbacks, and not just small setbacks, and not just small ones, but ones sufficient to force him to make decisions between the lessor of two evils. For once the MCs family are not angelic and instead have their own faults, and the MC is forced to use rationality to solve problems, with a more rare use of plot armor then most Xuanhuan stories. Unfortunately like most Xuanhuan, the MC was originally considered a waste and is often underestimated at the start, however this is minimized as the story prolongs. A unique ranking system, with only clear boundaries(i.e knight grand-knight etc) allows for an element of surprise, and the MC is not OP enough to skip through power levels, and must use his brain often to solve situations. This leads to more interesting combat, and diversity of outcomes to situations, rather than the generic power-up model most novels utilize. Unfortunately, power-ups are often gifted to the main character through common items which are only beneficial to the MC. Overall an interesting and fairly unique novel, which I would recommend others to read!
