Review Detail of MynameisDante in The Mech Touch

Wow for a story with nearly 5k chapters at the time of this review, the entire thing became very stale quickly. At the start of the story, the scenario sets you up to believe that it'll be a trouble-filled rise of Ves as a mech designer due to a fun amalgamation of Luck, hard work, and a system in a well-designed intergalactic world determined to do everything in its power to keep the main character down and for the most part of the early days it keeps this flair and sticks to its base principles. Over time, though, it started to lose all the things that make it fun in a systematic manner, and I couldn't stomach much of it anymore when the war arc came in and I had to drop multiple times and whether or not I pack this back up is up for debate. Let me outline some issues I had from the war arc and forward; While away the company constantly strays from his vision due to the simple reason that he isn't around to call the shots which might make sense until you consider the fact that such changes shouldn't be possible while he is conscripted to fight a war with a temporary Liason that should objectively hold no true say over assets without his approval. This entire thing stinks of forced tension considering I highly doubt something like this should even be possible not to mention. The whole system component completely disappears for pretty much the entire Arc which wouldn't have been an issue if the story's first few chapters weren't marketed to put importance on its overarching presence in the story, I understand that there is a hard balancing act to make a system both impactful but give enough individual agency to the MC to not depend on it but cutting it out for 400+ chaps in order to facilitate growth is absurd considering the story's initial identity. It would have made much more sense to use a few small but impactful mini-arcs over the course of 150 chaps that highlight intense struggles that shape his vision, personality, and mindset in a more mature direction while also branding him with high-intensity experience that promotes the explosive growth of his ingenuity before using a well placed time skip to close it all off and return to its roots after all what enchanted most of us was the idea of him being a mech designer carving his path in the world not the glorified soldier and field technician that we got. Overall it's still fairly well written in terms of world-building and the writing quality is definitely above average. The characters are a mixed bag you like some and you hate some. The story's direction and development are not something I can objectively judge since I've not read it all but I personally feel the story lost what made it special in its earlier chapters. The MC is not my cup of tea, overall he is a decent character if you can get over his annoying traits like his exhausting patriotism and Love of his family that borders on brainwashing (no like for real, the republic has never once done him any favors and his family abandoned him and only gave him any relevance after he had carved a place for himself and even then it was less of support and more to steal his relevance and gain control over what is rightfully his and his alone).
