First of all, I quite like what I've read so far. Translation quality is generally high and consistent, and the story is unique enough to be interesting without skipping out on a good power fantasy.There are quite a lot of strange world-building choices, though. Things that I'm sure will never be mentioned or will just be wandwaved away because "that's just the way it is", but should be mentioned.1. This is by definition a nationalistic story. It cannot be read without seeing Asians being horribly racists against other Asians. The author clearly hates Japan and China; they are the bad guys bar none, and do pointlessly evil things in broad daylight with no repercussions until the protagonist shows them the might of South Korea. Sanctions for obviously brainwashing international sports talents to boost your own positioning in the world? Totally fine with literally everyone except South Korea (even after indisputable evidense is plastered over the entire world), and they don't actually do anything about it until the MC decides to act entirely on his own.2. Governments exist. Even very bad governments exist. This is now a world that has entirely free access to 100% uncensored information and 100% guaranteed access to the ability to because super strong (for well over a decade!), yet dictators still exist in their original form. China still maintains perfect control over the opinions of their citizens. In fact, other than North Korea being destroyed by dungeons, the international politics of the world is left entirely unchanged. There is a known threat to all of mankind, yet the governments of the world are petty squabbling about random sh*t. The tutorial will end in a few months, yet everyone thinks things will stay the exact same and refuses to acknowledge that humanity can no longer be segregated by arbitrary country boarders. This is laughably unrealistic. I'm not saying everything would be united under a world government or anything, but there would be a large swath of the world with inbattled dictators and overthrown regimes.3. I'm sure this is a "story element", but humanity has apparently never been taught anything in the tutorial. We learn that humans know literally nothing in the realm of 'common sense'. They don't know how to use basic items, how to close dungeons, or how the system of the tutorial even works. I'm sure it's because the 'system' has been altered to make sure they lose or whatever, but it's also pretty ludicrous. Most of these stories are centered around an impartial and infallible 'system', but once your system can't be trusted, a lot of the foundation of the story just becomes useless mush (and then we fall into the "I've transcended the limits of the system" bullsh*t that ruins so many stories). I know it's a twist or whatever, but if you want an unreliable narrater, you should make it clear that the narrator is unreliable; don't pretend that everything is fine until you need it to be not fine to advance your story.
