Lucky Old Cat
First of all, the exp calculatios are all wrong. When he first level up to lvl 3, it was; lvl 1 - 1000 exp lvl 2 - 2000 exp lvl 3 - 3000 or 6000 exp, can't remember correctly. After his level reset, it because ridiculous like author is consciously trying to limit MC level for unneccessary drama. he earned more than a 1000 experience but still didn't reach level 1 until later time. level 2 was actually worse, he had way more than the experience points. They actually even hunted a lot of those monsters within the dungeon but still took forever for him to reach level 2. They killed to high tier boss, earned a total of 8000 experience (this doesn't include exp gained previously as all monsters should give exp upon death, but we weren't told how much they got for each kill). Even if the 8k exp was shared among group, if you calculate killing over a 100 lvl 5 genomes, it should be nothing less than 15,000 exp. And if you calculate the level difference, that should be over 20k. Yet he want even level 3. And now, he crafter 23 bronze equipment, not adding the one he used the iron ore, that should be 22 × 800 exp = 17,600 exp points. And the forging proficiency should be 23 ×4 = 92, not 44. 2 proficiency for each successful craft (bronze rank), and extra 2 from his forging genius talent = 4 Regardless, with all that he should already be level 4
