It's one of the most enjoyable naruto fanfic listed on this website.The MC has a golden finger Spoiler
allowing him to absorb jutsus from other people, with a certain probability of faillure, depending on the difficulty of the skill, and how close/friendly the target is with the MC (unless it's an innate ability or a kekkei Genkai, for which rules are different, more random). So the MC won't learn S rank jutsu right away. The use of the goldenfinger is also limited per day and per person.
[collapse] So overall the MC is never OP, you'll have to wait until around chapter 500.What I enjoyed with this novel is the slow growth and slice of life of the MC: he's a bit silly and sly with all the characters but not in an evil way as it is sometimes funny, even when reading the mtl chapters. He is not looking to become a Kage or for world domination, he's more like growing in the shadows while maintening a normal shinobi lifestyle.The plot starts before the Third Shinobi World War and what we know from the manga and anime changes slowly and progressively in a quite smooth way, but different from the original plot, as the MC grow stronger, but some key events are still happening.Still, there are some issues after around chapter 500 as the plot is more about schemes between characters than less focused on the growth of the MC, with more filling and more boring parts than in the early chapters.
