It honestly seems fairly promising at the beginning, but turns into a waste of time after 50+ chapters (extremely short chapters).The Good:Starts off pretty nice. MC finds he has a terrible class ability in a world where said ability is everything. He doesn't give up and decides to train hard. Big emphasis on dialogue and overall I enjoyed MC being quick on the uptake, realizing he can't just rely on the OG protagonist to solve everything and has his own desire to grow. It feels well written with good descriptions and world building for the most part... It just suffers from being very slow (there's a fight that's about 20C long right at the start for example).The Bad:The big problem for me is that everything involving humans in this novel feels extremely immature, yes not just bad but immature.Basically almost every character in this world is prejudiced against people with low rank classes, that itself isn't a problem but the way it's approached is.The formatRacist character meets MC - said character is extremely racist towards MC, treating him like a waste of air - said character is extremely shocked by MC's desire to improve despite having a worthless class - said character starts to question their own existenceThe problem with this is that it comes off as humans who never heard of the term 'hard work'. Everybody is just f*cking mesmerized by this guy because he works hard??? Lines like "that man might have a common class but everything else about him is extraordinary" are repeated 4-5 times per chapter. It comes off as people who never interacted with humans let alone 20 year olds, which they are.Also, MC is strangely lacking in priorities. He knows he's got a terrible ability and should focus on training to survive but is weirdly obsessed with making friends (harem members to be precise) and having people like him despite the fact that most of them are super racist towards him. He really starts to come off as a kid going through puberty after a while that is just starving for someone to say they like him. It's a really weird approach for a person who transmigrated into a novel to take, plus the fact that he's 20 years old even in this world (we don't know his original age but we assume he was an adult). His behavior would make a lot more sense if he was a 14 year old kid who's originally from this world.As this weird immature behavior became more and more the focus of the novel, I lost all interest. It's obviously meant to be character development but I just never bought that such easily impressionable people actually exist.Maybe the author thought this was a much more realistic approach then the typical hard working loner protagonist but the problem is that it just comes off as very childish human interactions.
