The S-Classes That I Raised Chapter 45 Discussion

I have been wanting to read this back then since I see a lot of the tcf and omniscient reader fans recommend this and I'm gonna be honest, the only real similarity I see is through the BL potential. It should be obvious if you're into fanart, just google. It's a similarity these three titles share. I ended up dropping this so my review will only apply up to chapter 45.

Pros:

-MC is a weakling which is rare for regression/time-travel/level-up main characters. I'd like more novels with this premise. Spoiler

But he does have a sort of skill-inheritance type that doesn't leave him completely helpless.

-Cute pets.

I honestly can't think of anything else.

NOT really cons, may be subjective:

-The story is very MC-centric. Kind of like I Solo-Leveling. There are a lot of side-characters and not all of them gets forgotten after a few chapters but they all orbit around the MC. Not really a bad thing since that's just how this novel is. Hate it or love it.

-BL potential. Reason below.

-Very clingy and possessive characters. Spoiler

It's an effect from the MC's skill. I didn't like it personally, it makes the relationships feel artificial and brainwash-y to me. They get pretty yandere-ish and often times they barely get along with each other due to their jealousy. The younger brother is especially weirdly written considering his and the mc's ages. Pretty sure it's fanservice.

-MC's plans for his future changes sporadically. Find and raising S-rankers, keeping pets for protection, selling them, stocks, etc. Spoiler

MC also never really gets rid of his inferiority complex especially when his S-rank brother is around, despite his newfound celebrity status and desirability (his skills). He also makes a lot of decisions that might make you question his maturity. The MC is a regressor but if you're expecting Cale or Kim Dokja level of pre-cognition then you'll be disappointed. I think it's supposed to be an endearing trait but it's not for me personally. He didn't have the likability of Cale nor is he interesting like Dokja.

I was a fan of Omniscient Reader so I wanted something similar to read but this novel really didn't scratch that itch for me. I didn't like how quickly the characters get clingy towards the MC, I can understand liking him but it is waaaay too exaggerated and fast for me which is unfortunate since it's one of the prominent point of this novel. I dislike it but can also see why some people would be interested in this kind of fanservice. The system is also not very polished and some features are revealed in later chapters so it felt like the author didn't exactly finalize the system before they began writing the novel. I'm not personally bothered by it since I've read worse level-system in other webnovels. Be warned that there's anti-Japanese sentiment here and there. What did you think there won't be any? Lol

All in all a very interesting idea but I lost interest due to the author's writing. The webtoon has been recently released and it is drawn by an experienced webtoon artist and author so some parts got re-written for improvement. I recommend checking it out.
