It seems that his luck has finally changed, although he will soon learn that power never comes without a price.

solid system and plot

While the start was a little rough, I was hooked within an hour or so. Decently strong characters (especially for the genre), and generally a plot that makes sense and keeps the pace up. Loved the new system, great flavor beyond 'level up.'

not bad

Over all i liked the book, action was good, lots of slice of life. Good character development. The magic and skill were kinda weird. Very little was said on how they normally worked, For example, MC slotting/eating a rare skill cost him 2 mortium and 24 hours for the skill to be ready. An epic skill cost a whooping 10 mortium and 20 days?!??!?! that's ludicrous. Mortium is so hard to get, i was really looking forward to what he could purchase in the special shop with it. So if we follow that same logic, a Legendary skill will cost 50 mortium, and 400 days to prep. i hate to thing what an artifact level skill would be, i'm assuming our MC will never get those or the Mr. Grey will have to perform some shenanigans for him to be able to use it in any kind of time frame. and I wish there were more numbers. Additionally the levels seem very arbitrary. no number or EXP listed with kills. I mean the group killed 2 very extremely hard life ending monsters and only got 2 levels each??? that seems insane to me. We also don't know how much Magitech a skill costs to use or maintain. but those are just my personal gripes. Overall the book was well written and edited, and i will be buying further books.

Cool concept

I like the unique skill that lead to an OP MC. The book got a little formulaic with the monster hunter and skill harvesting but it was an entertaining formula. The narrator did a good job. I’m interested in the second book.

Great Book small problem

I love the story every things is great. You have to listen to at 1.1 or 1.5. The reason it feels like it’s hard listen isn’t because was it was slow. There are small noise drops where they chopped the audio or how they edited the noise. I would love the book at the original speed I like the narrators voice. Don’t let that distract you because this was a great purchase!

way the story is told is annoying

generally I like most power fantasy stories, this one I found annoying.
the plot armor is ridiculous, MC is about to die then something happens just as he's about to die and the second before death the plot saves him with a convenient upgrade.
Also the story seems really dragged out, even going back in time to tell events in the past that dont add anything.
