Ok first of all, the translator doesn't deserve 1 star. I would have given him 3 stars in quality (he tends to switch names from english to chinese without telling) and a 4 in stability. Unfortunately I just had to lower his stars so the total score would get lower. If you like a realistic world, realistic characters with realistic situations and fair powers this is NOT a story for you. I reached my limit of unrealistic **** after I got to the explination of the power system which is convoluted to say the least and our MC got such a unfair power I couldn't continue reading (see below). Explination of the power system: 1. Everyone has 360 columns. 2. Normal people has 200 grey columns at birth, leaving 164 white ones. 3. Every year one of the columns drains and becomes a grey one. 4. To unlock a grey column you need to put in 10 life crystals which apperantly is a rare drop and very expensive. 5. To get to the next power rank you need to unlock all your grey columns. 6. You can only unlock a grey column ONCE so if you don't fill all of your grey within a year you can never reach the next rank. This is the stupidest power system I've ever seen. First of all if its THAT hard to rank up goverments would restrict it to their top agents. Even if they didn't it would be impossible for a normal person to rank up, since they need to fill their wheel all in one go. This would mean that our MC would NEVER. EVER! have chosen this as a proffession since in this line of work, he needs to be strong first to get money so he can take care of his sister. To become strong he needs money to buy life crystals to power up, causing this to be a catch 22. Lets do some quick math. Our MC had 152 non grey colums at birth (apperantly he had a lower number then average). After 15 years this becomes 152-15=137. 364-137=227 grey colums to fill. Each grey one requires 10 life crystals (rare drop remember) causing him having to gather 2270 life crystals to break through to the next rank with 10 more for each year it takes. Now since this (apperantly) is a rare drop, costing the same ammount as a good weapon, lets say 10% of the monsters drop this. That means our MC needs to kill 22 700 monsters to rank up. And this is from the LOWEST RANK to the next one. That means that for hunanity to get an iron rank they need to kill on a average 25 000 monsters for Each. Damn. One.... THEY WOULD BE NATIONAL GOD DAMN TREASURES!!! *WARNING - Spoilers Bellow!* Around chapter 15 our MC is participating in an exam which would make their strength official and they would get a larger paycheck from the goverment. Somehow the goverment is fine with letting their examinees die in droves, the same guys we just figured out should've been national treasures. This is so stupid I actually had to stop reading for a while. When I finally gathered enough strength to continue this happens. Our MC' ONLY weakness so far was that his life force drained at an insane rate. Now this was a good weakness because it prevented him from taking it easy and created some urgency in this story. The author decides to throw this out the window by giving our MC the ability to absorb the life force of creatures he kills, ****** that rare drop we discussed before completly useless. He can litterally fill up all his columns with 10-15 monsters instead of the 25 000 everyone else has to kill. This ability is something everyone in this world chooses for themselves and our MC got the ability for graduating top of the class. If this ability (called goldfinger) was truly so powerful why doesn't EVERYONE and their grandmother have it? If they only have one or can only grant it to one why would the goverment give the most powerful tool at their disposal to a random poor guy just because he graduated top of his class? If the goverment has no clue about the capabilities of the abilities they grant why would they give this specific one to the top student? Why not just have a huge spinning wheel and let chance decide? ANYWAYS; The results of this is that our MC has zero weaknesses, is a genius who can learn things other poeple does in 103 days working 18 hours a day by half-assing it in 3 days. (Yes. He leared a swordstyle that took a talented person 1854 hours to learn in about 9-10 hours by WATCHING HIM. Sounds fair and realistic right?...) This will become yet another Gary Stue running around screaming "look at my amazing system" story... I'm litterally expecting a harem member to show up in 5 chapters and his little sister getting the hots for him which will somehow be acceptable in this new world which the author still hasn't defined if it's a new world, some form of time travel or some other dimension. My recommendation? DO NOT READ.

Lets not forget that it said in the beginning that 1 white column was 3 years worth of life. Later in the story, it was changed to one. So people have a possibility to live 360 years or 720 years? What happens with life crystals? Are people immortal? If so the MC can gain life energy like its nothing (refering to the desert and giants). Im very confused on this. I stop at 40. I could just be wrong. But who knows? So many things are calculated out horribly, just like you said. Im done with this novel.

Dunno if you read the start of the story properly, however where does it say everyone in that world can choose some kind of ability? He got the ability for graduating top of his class? Where is that written exactly? The goldfinger is given to dimensional travelers by some unknown force/entity, its stated literally in the first chapter. You weird talk about government handing or even having Goldfingers is ridiculous. I mean where does that even come from? The government have none of them, hell they dont even know of their existence. Just a couple of people over a few galaxies or universes have them, yet you talk about them as if they were common items, like apples. Also your claim about every lowest level hunter, thats how people with powers are called, being national treasures is a big BS. If you get to the part where he visits the biggest cities in his area youll understand why. The proportions in this novel are ridiculous. The bigger cities tend to be 1 million km2 or bigger. Thats like 1/17 surface area of Russia(17mil km2). Imagine a city built like New York (high buildings, skyscrapers) over a one milion square kilometers. Thats billions of people in a single city. Even if hunters are like 10% of the population or less its still a huge number. The details on life crystals are very vague(there is no mention how many or how powerful each crystal is depending on rank of the slayed monster), however it is stated they sometimes drop from monsters. Its only ever mentioned as a form of currency and all MC has to do to get them is kill monsters and sell their carcasses. My guess is they have some method of extraction or other sources(author really messed up here). There is a developed society. If you have money and resources, you can exchange them for other things. You dont have to specifically hunt for life crystals to get them. Same as when youre hungry, you buy the meat from others(marketplace, convenience store etc) or is it that you personally go hunt some game in the forest every time you need food? The initial explanation of power system, primarily how to become a hunter is not very well written as well. I also dont think that you need to to light all grey columns in a single year(you wont lose the new unlocked white wheels first, because that makes zero sense, you should be losing the ones you were born with - in that case you have 100-200 years of your original lifespan to become a hunter - however you would have to relight the original lost white columns that turned grey). Now this statement: This would mean that our MC would NEVER. EVER! have chosen this as a proffession since in this line of work, he needs to be strong first to get money so he can take care of his sister. To become strong he needs money to buy life crystals to power up, causing this to be a catch 22. - If you really read the story, you wouldnt spout something this dumb. The only way that he can protect his sister is first: be alive(dead cant protect ****, dont let anyone fool you) and second: he needs to be powerful. To get strong he needs resources. The only profession that can earn him any decent and fast(yes fast, coz he has like 3 months to live, not really enough time for a job change) money in this world is to become a hunter(lets face it, all other professions without power prerequisite are trash here). And he can acquire resources by killing monsters which in this instance is literally gambling with his life, because he is weak. Your next statement: Yes. He leared a swordstyle that took a talented person 1854 hours to learn in about 9-10 hours by WATCHING HIM. Sounds fair and realistic right?... - Fair? You cant be serious here right? Life is not fair. The moment youre born is the start of unfairness. Realistic, hmm. Reality of one person is a fantasy of other person. If you want realistic dont read this genre. Dunno if you ever learned any sort of martial arts but let me tall you a secret: You learn by watching and imitating.

Brother although I haven't read everything I can tell you this much, you do not learn martial arts just by watching for 10 hours 3 days in a row, that's not how that works

I respect the time you put in to calculate all of this. Props my dude.
