I, the “Clock User”, Was Kicked Out of the Craftsmen’s Guild for Being Incompetent, but at the Dungeon’s Depths, I Awakened My True Power – Even Though I Was Told to Return Because They Couldn’t Handle the Work, It’s Too Late Now, and I Will Live Freely as an SSS-class Adventurer Chapter v610 Discussion

Starts of interesting with a world that decides your life trajectory during a coming of age ceremony controlled by the church and royal family.

The protagonist starts off with an ok life, his fiance and sister got high level skills so are forced to ditch him (this is despite his skill having a greater response than theirs?). But soon he get blamed for crimes he didn't commit and loses his faith in humanity.

Oh this is a lovely start but it seems like the author didn't really know what to do with it, he'll make the protagonist so traumatized that they're literally spewing up at the sight of someone only to solve it with a spell one chapter later so why even add it in the first place.

When he hits rock bottom he realizes that his skill has evolved to be stronger (despite it already having a stronger reaction than saints and sages?). He manages to become powerful with his skills which evolved into to the ridiculous power level of being able to summon miniature suns at will, but despite this has decided to make guns instead. It feels like this like novel is trying to desperately be like "Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou" rather than tell an original story.

Even the interesting premise of revenge and trauma get solved by a quick spell by one of his new companions

It's mostly just a frustrating read as the author has some interesting ideas only for those ideas to be shoved the side immediately after
