it's not a masterpiece by any means, but its ok. The MC doesn't go from F to S in an instant and he tends to be a bit more on the cautious side at first. I really enjoyed the first part of the story. The MC is fairly low key, thanks to his rank, and he's used to being underestimated and dismissed in favor of stronger people. He starts out with the experience and mindset of an old hand, having been in the same field for fifteen years. He's steady and past the age where he cares about what other people think. Unlike other mosterpoclypse-centric Knovels the MC doesn't regress or go back in time, but gets a second chance at life at his real age and in the current time frame.sadly, the author abruptly changes his personality at around c50 (rift dive time frame) and he goes from thoughtful and low key to the stereotypical impulsive, arrogant, greedy and ambitious prick MC. Along with the sudden personality change he creates a new guild out of nowhere and begins obsessing on starting a training hall to teach his skills to others, despite the fact that he's not qualified to teach either magic or swordsmanship having barely learned some of the basics himself.I'd say the first 45 or so chapters were a 4 and the rest is a 3 at best. Honestly, after that abrupt personality change I kinda want to give it a 2.
