MC goes on after getting the constitution to protecting this daughter, giving him connections to some rich mafia dude named Chu. Then he acquires a company and becomes the boss, and there's various fights at different points where he beats people up. I thought the fighting was done decently well; MC is very ruthless without being evil. He generally protects innocent people from mafia type thugs. But he won't hesitate to destroy anyone who goes against him, this includes beating up women in his way. I liked that because it's not sexist like most authors.
The big problem for me comes when he meets this girl named Su Yun or something like that. She is super sweet and nice, he basically falls in love with her, they go out on some dates, etc. You absolutely get the feeling that they are going to be a good couple together and so on, and then seemingly out of nowhere the author throws a curveball at you that makes zero sense; this girl, who has always been super bright, cheerful, innocent seeming, etc. is revealed to actually be cheating on MC with some slimebag fatso at the hospital she works at. And the reason is that this guy has drugged her and has been raping her in return for giving her drugs. MC finds out and rushes to the hotel where she was spotted with this guy, she tries to kill herself by jumping off the roof, MC catches her, then goes and kills the fat dude.
Okay, well the point is the author set this romance up and then completely ruined it for no reason, it's not believable, interesting or satisfying on any level. I figure the reason it happened was that their romance got to the point where they would actually start dating, having s*x, whatever, and the author decided that sounded like too much effort, so it's better to just turn this sweet girl into a drug addicted who*e and remove her from the story. Worth pointing out MC's initial girlfriend in the opening of story also cheats on him and is a degenerate b*tch.
So that would be why the netorare tag is on this story I guess.
That's not the only problem with the story either. The translation is done by a guy doing it as a hobby. It is adequate, but not exactly great either. Some chapters and dialogue are pretty bad. I don't know if this changed for later chapters.
Another major problem I have is with MC himself and his lack of intelligence or motivation. He has been gifted a godly system of cheats that could enable him to do literally anything in the world he wants. What does he choose to do? Basically become a mob boss and beat the crap out of people constantly. Gather up money, yes, meaningless money. Why do I say it's meaningless? Because before power, money is meaningless.
MC could have learnt advanced science skills thousands of years ahead of his society, invented infinite energy devices, FTL travel, anti gravity, space ships, cured aging, completely uplifted and transformed the entirety of humanity. Instead, he becomes yet another crappy mafia boss. His biggest ambition seems to be to kill this s*upid Dragon gang, which is pretty much just 99% tr*sh filler mobs who he can 1 shot.
If that was the only thing, I could accept it. But even as a mafia boss he is crap. He doesn't use the system AT ALL until he needs to solve a current problem. He never plans ahead. He had over 200k points saved up, knew he could spend 100k to buy a super upgraded combat ability, and just ignored it for like 40 chapters. Then he got shot and the system drained 100k points to heal him, only for him to then buy that combat ability for 100k points, leaving him with nothing. If he'd bought the combat ability he could have dodged or stopped the bullet.
He never once ever thinks or plans on how to acquire more points, even though it's shown that he has a massively scalable ability to do so; he gains points by shocking people, so a televised court case he is involved in where he awes everyone is what gives him the 200k points. This means he could just make YouTube videos of crazy shit, or go on TV, or do any number of things to rack up millions of points. He never even considers this and instead is incredibly, super stingy with any points he gets, only ever using it as a Dues Ex Machina to solve some drama that pops up.
