you should probably throw in there somewhere that this is a doormat story, since a lot of people, myself included, hate doormat stories with a passion. nothing against you if you're just trying to collect all the 1 star reviews though, I'll admit you got me pretty good there. if you aren't purposefully trying to get a bunch of bad reviews then my apologies, it's hard to know what someone's personality is gonna be like when they write a doormat story. got to chapter 20 when I realized there was never gonna be any hope of improvement, stuck through the first arc of the mc being powerless surviving that first nightmare, but then when I got past that part and realized he was even more powerless than before with zero apparent potential for growth and constant immediate threat of death or enslavement with near zero change even after going through all that stuff when most others apparently become significantly better looking, I realized this was firmly within the doormat category. if I were to write a story like this, even if I was incredibly shameless and only took into consideration the people who enjoyed doormat stories, I'd still only rate the story at 3 stars, and that's assuming I actually enjoyed doormat stories myself. but I can understand that you might lose your frame of reference for something after working on it for so long, so I guess it's fine, just maybe try to throw "doormat" in there somewhere, even if it's just mentioning offhand that someone called it a doormat story, even if you deny it by saying it gets better later on(which I highly doubt).

The ultimate doormat mc story. unfortunately, no matter how skilled and creative you are, it doesn't help you in making something amazing when you're digging a grave. which is what this story is. a big ol mass grave for everyone to throw their self esteem into. there are people who enjoy doormat stories, don't get me wrong, but I'm definitely not one of them. but this author takes it a step further than most doormat stories, the character is not only left with the usual near crippled physical abilities, but he has no ability whatsoever to even outsmart others or manipulate them or do any magic due to some story stuff. he's literally the perfect walking punching bag, and to top it all off, it seems like he improves FAR less than others in both looks and physical improvements. quite frankly, he starts off the story near the peak of what he can ever reach through improvement, effort, or luck, and that peak isn't even near the lowest ditch everyone else starts at. the title is an exact outline of how this story plays out so far. if you don't wanna read about a slave, then begone. but if you do decide to read, keep in mind that any beatiful words for high ranking things only apply to people other than the mc, if the mc gets something, it's useless without exception, aside from when it's a direct threat to his own life I mean.

here we go, another cheap backstory to normalize the main characters powers and give him convenient opponents with the same growth potential and type of power, just makes it feel like a bunch of bullcrap when the character only gets by with constant slathers of plot armor forced by constant slathering of needless nerfing. unless she just means the 4th type of system, but I get endlessly pissed off by unrealistic forced vagueness so if it isn't clarified by the end of the chapter then I'm gone.

ah yes, all those people who were previously described as soulless and downtrodden with no hope in life, are now described as obsessed. consistency? what's that?

ah yes, I can see it now "my name is Evan van hermes, you killed me, prepare to die."

not beaten half to death, just beaten to death.

guess you'll die. `\_(-_-)_/`

I went to a school with around 4 thousand students and it was only about twice the size of a normal rural school with 200 tbh, though I guess that isn't including the housing they would need...

and what about the dungeon people were entering with 1 team every minute? since there's no escape function that means it's at least cleared once every minute and a half if there are MASSIVE death rates, meaning it'd break within an hour if not less.

let's assume "4 meters large" here means length rather than height, would be a little off if the first mob was a 40 meter long alligator.

I mean I ain't no hunter but I can go 7 rounds, so imagine what a man who literally never runs out of energy can do.

that's why they call it balancing checks

ah yes because a paper on the bottom of a stack is clearly readable and "apparent" definitely not covered up, yeah you stack papers so they stand on their edge on top of each other like reddit or Twitter pages, never seen an office before? they have crazy paper balancing skills.

one of his first trips said he found 39 if I'm not mistaken, not sure about the exact number but it did show it after he finished farming for the day on one of the first dungeons. he never absorbs them and just sells them though.

funny how he got 2 c rank items and it says he'll be selling "a few of the c rank items", in other words, he's selling all of the items.

yeah and b for 25% increase on a single stat, that gap between ranks is huge!

don't worry author probably forgot, prob gonna just be a keepsake for later on that's never used.

finally we see the rank of smite.

still waiting for the ranking reveal. unless the author just decided ranks aren't a thing anymore despite having no number system in place for skills, aka trashing the story.

ah yes, the firey lazer beam that doubled as a baseball bat. because flames definitely have weight and physical resistance. realism.
