I can't this is **** The story started out good with the concept of transporting into a world where humanity has to fight monsters that are powerful and stuff but that's where it ends. Main character is devoid of any personality, we get zero insight as to how he perceived his world and whether or not he regrets being accidentally sent into a world where his Life Wheel/Cycle? (a thing that tells how long he lives) is broken and has two months to live. Like normally people would be incredibly upset about being dragged into the world where he can't activate his 'Goldenfinger' power and now lives in some sci-fi society with nobody familiar to talk to. I also can't understand his motivation in the whole scheme of the world. At first it seems like some sort of "I'll become the strongest" but there's nothing to suggest so. Also all the other characters seem so two-dimensional, the little sister only point in the story was to show some sibling love and once the Iron-Class Exam starts she suddenly disappears from the scene. The rest of the characters only serve stroke the pillar of epicness that MC possess. And oh god the deus ex machina/ plot armor.

LIKEDude, chill........I understand where you're coming from, but the sister can't go with him so wasn't it kind of obvious she wouldn't be there for the next few chapters? Also I don't think you've read on after the iron class exam, the characters get better and if you don't think so, just stop reading.

so what if it's nothing? 50 chapters is already good enough to critiuque a novel. So far the author had 1. Multiple cliches like cute little sister and no parents around 2. Zero personality inputted into main character 3. No motives for the MC 4. Deus Ex Machina in its literal sense 5. terrible story telling 6. multiple moments where characters are used to boost MC's massive epicness and some infinitive more reasons that people already told in other reviews.
Elyos:50+ chapters are nothing for a novel, this particular one is probably not even half way through and the latest chapter is 640. 50 chapters can be read withing some hours.
1st: ok, so? 2nd: the MC was a random guy from "our" world with an unfullfilling life 3rd: his motives are described in the description of the novel, other than that he is basically in a "real life game" so there aren't any spectacular motives. 4th: he is technically in a game, that's how games work in order to be interesting 5th: that's in the eye of the beholder I think it's alright but that's just my opinion.

the motive is in the synopsis but no where in the novel is it stated or suggested and even unfulfilling guys have some ounce of personality, like they're lazy, submissive, and scummy. But nope, start of the Exam he acts ruthless in front of some people and then later on acts like some sort of heroic protagonist when faced with the hordes of monsters. Also, even if there's a lot of cliches, it's dumb that they do little with it. Like if the sister wasn't there, nothing would've changed in the plot by the point of chapter 55~ where i stopped. Or Fatty who helped very little in MC's Exam.

that's what everyone said about overgeared and look and behold, it's start to get good in 100-150 chapter later on
White_Jester:if a story needs 50+ chapters to 'git gud' then it's not a good story.
Overgeared wasn't bad at the start, what readers found insufferable was the MC's personality which was scummy, greedy, and incredibly pathetic in terns of behavior. However unlike MonsEvo, Grid (Overgeared MC) had a goal of becoming rich in-game to support his family with his newfound wealth. And you see the steps and progress he makes by the events that conspire. E.g. MC finally not needing to go to do dangerous construction work or obtaining enough money to pay off his family debt. Moreso, his actions are explained with his own reasoning, experience, and the author knowledge which makes us understand what he's ignorant of. This is miles better than, "I'll guess I'll be a monster tamer for no reason..." in this webnovel.
Snek_Waifu:that's what everyone said about overgeared and look and behold, it's start to get good in 100-150 chapter later on
