I love it!! One thing to note is that MC is absolutely a Mary su genius, but despite it being very present I can’t find it annoying. The major focus of this is healing, where MC finds people that genuinely care about him. It’s very realistic in the most heartwarming way, and there is no drama between the people MC has made friends with; as someone whose heart hurts when nice people are hurt, this novel had me feeling so happy and gooey because of how much MC deserved the care he never received as a child. Moreover, MC is totally academic-autism coded, and I think his cluelessness makes sense when you consider his background and how much of a dump his childhood was. Even so, he’s very sweet and naive without being mindless, and you can see how his mentality grows to be more positive and less self depreciating/naive (still a work in progress though). There is no dog blood drama where random people get jealous and plot schemes, in fact the whole point is that MC is a genius who is only now getting recognition, and the people around him are already very talented so despite not being geniuses they are warm hearted and appreciative of MC’s efforts. While reading, the progression was really different from other translated novels, it felt very sweet yet also real, like it could happen in reality (ignoring the supernatural parts). Fate dealing the nicest hand after the carpy first life, you know. I also really like the ML, like even though MC is the golden finger of all golden fingers, he’s not piggybacking on MC’s success; he has talents in other aspects and even with a senior-junior ship it’s still very balanced and very consensual. Congratulations everyone the main ship is a total green flag!!! (Can’t say anything abt the other one though errr it’s giving scumbag behavior but like.. Mutual beneficiaries or smth). Plot wise I’m not a great estimator for that but the progression is solid to me. MC rockets up there because he’s so smart so the tech developing is already busting out new gear. Even so, it’s not rushed and he’s making fast but understandable advancements, and does actually learn from his teachers- he’s not the top mecha engineer but his learning speed and mental math is unparalleled.overall, very sweet and with genuinely good people, the only drama is with the same few characters (family + that other guy), and warm soup for the soul plus a few action scenes; literally found family I love them so muchhhhh
