This novel made me happy the past few days I've read it. While the MC is gray sue, consistently winning medals and breaking records, I wasn't repulsed by it. It is a bit fast-paced to skip over the training time, and the timeline of some events makes the records/medals quite unbelievable. I am the type to ignore that easily, so I wouldn't recommend that you are the type to nitpick at every detail.The romance isn't really there for the most part, but it shows up in a very fluffy way IMO. The plot is more of a focus on MC plowing his way into the spotlight and the romance is a dash of sweetness.Please note that the format of this story is 143 (Main Story) + 10 Extra + 102 Independent Extra: Parallel World + 13 Extra as mentioned in the chapters. Starting from the parallel world, it is like the writer wrote a fanfic for a what-if scenario of her own novel and plugged it in. I believe that this was completely a self-indulgent part of the writer to write this in. It doesn't really make sense, but that is sorta the point. It's happening because the writer wants it to and it wasn't that bad.
