Exiled in a Class Trial for “Poor Dexterity”. Because He Was Dexterous, He Lived on His Own. Because of His Dexterity, He Was Able to Use All the Skills and Magic of the Higher Ranks, Making Him Invincible. I Decided to Live on My Own, but the People Around Me Wouldn’t Leave Me Alone.

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The boy Leopin was born with unnaturally high dexterity. From an early age, he used his dexterity to contribute to his peers in a variety of crafts. Leopin and his friends entered the Royal Pioneer Academy. However, during the “Ritual of Ability Development” at the entrance ceremony, the status given to Leopin was disastrous.

“Occupation: Unemployed.”

“All statuses except dexterity remain at their initial values and do not grow.”

“Skills are poor dexterity*.”

Leopin’s classmates exiled him because he had nothing to offer other than his dexterity. Leopin is placed in the “Special Training Class”, a class for failures. Leopin is left all alone. However, he realizes that the skill he has been given, “Poor Dexterity,” has an unexpected performance. That is…

You can convert your dexterity status to any other status.
You can change your occupation to any one you want.

The first thing Leopin did was to become a lumberjack. First, Leopin changed his job to “Lumberjack” to get wood from the forest. He then became a carpenter and built the most magnificent house of all. He became an Appraiser to identify rare items, and a Battle Axe User to fight off students from other classes who tried to attack him. Become a Ranger to explore dungeons and a Ninja to get through traps with ease.

Leopin, alone (solo), had gained enough power to do everything.

As Leopin continues to be a warrior, he is adored by his childhood friend, a saint, and admired by a beautiful alchemist, and his activities become even more well known. On the other hand, the classmates who expelled Leopin regret their decision to do so when they witness Leopin’s abilities.

Their home remains a shack, they are unable to explore, and they gradually lose their place in the school and are ruined.

*Explanation: the skill is not “poor dexterity”, but “dexterous poor”, which is the japanese equivalent to a Jack of all trades, master of none; since they can do a bit of everything, they are “dexterous”, but since they have mastered none, they supposedly cannot make a living from it, hence they are “poor”.

This novel is awesome! It’s really, really horrible if you’re trying to read it seriously. Like you could take the most brain dead person in the entire universe, and they’d be a genius compared to ANYONE in this novel.

The story is so mind blowing dumb it’s amazing. The perfect example is the first chapter, the MC is ridiculed and cast out as a useless person because his stats are all locked at level 1. Except his Dexterity which is 2, 000. We’re explicitly told just sentences earlier that in that... more>> world 10 is the average for a person’s stats, and that 100 is like an absolute monster and prodigy.

10 is normal, 100 is monsterous. 2, 000 is 200 times average and 20 times monsterous. But he’s worthless garbage and useless.

It’s so absurdly s*upid it’s amazing. And that is the ENTIRE story.

I’d give the first chapter a shot, it’ll only take like 5 minutes and at worst you’ll be left thinking it’s the s*upidest thing you’ve ever read and have wasted five whole minutes.

Personally, I was crying I was laughing so hard because the villains are so cartoon-y. It feels like the road runner and wile e coyote or bugs bunny style. I genuinely loved it, one of the most fun novels I’ve read.

It’s not sophisticated, it’s not angsty or dark, there’s no revenge as of yet, but holy crap is it ever so bad it’s funny. It’s insanely light and wish fulfillment, everything is just handed to the MC, but I love the MC’s personality and found this one to be massively entertaining.

Give the first chapter a shot, while keeping in mind that it’s NOT serious, and you’ll either love it or hate it. It’s five minutes for a potentially seriously funny read! <<less

Synopsis is a literal summary of the first 5 chapters or so, and I couldn't believe how dumb that is, usually the synopsis will just refer to the plot of the novel as a whole, or the prologue, which it did.. But by spoiling alot of the early chapteds.. Not the greatest start and well..

Why did people give this a low rating, you ask?

Well how about bland characters and a nasty tasteless harem.

MC - the man has 1 thought in his brain at a time, he shows not much feelings... more>> towards things making the conversations hollow and bland, literally an NPC.

How about the conflicts?

The ones I have read so far literally go like this

Hey! MC, you're jobless boohoo I'm gonna use my job to abuse you for some god only knows reason why!

(MC then corresponds by changing jobs and goes)

No!

(Jojo beatdown theme)

The end.

I usually love these guilt trips type like, "I regret leaving him" or "Why did I betray him" as the process is very fun and you could feel the pleasure of slapping someone thoroughly.

But in this one, they barely even show who those classmates are and only show them when the event happens, making it feel boring, there was no cunning plan to bash their heads, and shove their heads up each others asses, it was just straightforward and didn't have much impact as guilt trips usually do.

All that happened was

MC was shunned

MC stronk

Regret 😱😱😱😱😰😨😭

.

Harems that aren't handled properly and use garbage cliches are all f*cking tr*sh so you all know that atleast.

That is what I noticed so far, anyways the story is boring. <<less

Good escapism fantasy when you feel like you got nothing better to read. Just a typical milquetoast MC given powers as the plot demands and of course he develops a harem that starts with his childhood friend. Though the chapters are short that you can read 10 of them in about 10 minutes. It's a simple story that I enjoy and hope for more.

In my opinion this novel is boring. Nothing much happening it's just MC get ridiculed / bullied then he retaliate. The female lead character is shallow, I don't know anything about her except she loves MC (Every chapter FL would say MC is the best or I love him). Idk if next chapter will be better or not soo read them yourself maybe this novel will interest you.

A masterpiece in disguise.

I'm 100% sure the author didn't write the novel like this intentionally, HOWEVER, just like a monkey would be able to write any book from Shakespeare given enough time, this author managed to write the BEST WORST novel EVER and I love it! Just read it with this mindset: This is a parody and the st*pid things here were put here intentionally to make fun of them.

Of course they weren't intentional, but that's what makes it even more funny. Every chapter makes me lmao because of how... more>> dumb this novel is.

Honestly I will never understand these people rating 1/5 and making serious reviews. I mean, look at the title and the description! Why would you be so boring as to take this as serious as if you were reading Machiavelli? Just turn off your brain and have fun. <<less

I wrote this review because I found myself asking "why the hell am I reading this" after catching up
If I had to say, this novel is like surstromming or stinky tofu. It's nasty as hell but some people enjoy eating these nasty foods, they might even be interesting to try as they're nasty to the point of being interesting / exotic. Just don't consume too much of them so that your buds don't die out.

My review might be the polar opposite of some of the other reviews but that's just because I like the plot. The story is so s*upid it's actually entertaining. But if absurd comedies isn't your thing, then I guess this is not for you

This series is so bad that it's funny you could have sustained brain damage and you would still be smarter than every person in this series don't take anything seriously don't question why they do anything or how they are functioning as a society and just laugh at all the s*upid sh*t that goes on in this series. Some examples of the s*upid stuff in this novel happened right at the start they view everyone who has good stats and jobs and support them the average stat for everyone... more>> is 10 and the prodigy has a stat of 100 the MC has a dex stat of 2, 000 that's the level of a monster right there yet everyone just dismissed him as useless. The students literally have the power to expel students just because they don't like them and that right there is s*upid asf. It would be one thing if they expelled him for causing trouble or falling behind in school but no he did nothing wrong and was kicked out because he had low stats are. He gets shot at by an arrow which could have killed him and the students who did that didn't even get charged with attempted mu*der they get off Scott free and the MC didn't even tell anyone about them they are a danger to people and should be arrested but no the MC just let's them off like an idiot. Frankly I could go on and on about how s*upid people are in this series but everyone who reads this review gets my point. Personally I'm amazed that so many people commit crimes from arson to attempted mu*der yet somehow always get away with the crime it's as if law and order don't exist. <<less

Yeah it’s good you get exactly what the synopsis says it’s full of tropes, it’s pretty much a parody but it’s short kinda funny and just peaceful I guess. If you’re looking for something to break the mold or change you’re life then it’s not at all what you want. But if you want something short and good to pass the time and you read the synopsis and tags and liked them all give it a read.

It's okay.

Certainly not bad but don't expect too much. It's more like a parody of the type of stories where MC is ridiculed for being tr*sh first but actually secretly overpowered. The parody part is the people around him (except for girls) doesn't get convinced about his quality no matter what. They always make excuses and never give up on being Mc's opposing side.

MC doesn't seem to care much about his surroundings and always absorbed to exploring his abilities.

What's good about the story is as you can guess is how... more>> MC always proves others being wrong about him. What I didn't enjoy is similar though. Nobody learns their lesson and keep going against the MC for no good reason.

(I don't remember the name but there was a story where people hated MC because he was classless even if it's not their own desire. Like global hypnotism or something. There's no plot like that here but everyone is hating MC blindly. So there are many shallow characters) <<less

I want to start with my personal belief. Your enjoyment of reading will depend on your state of mind. This is a really fun and s*upid novel to read if you turn off your brain and just enjoy it. The villains are hilariously comical like a cartoon villain. They show up like Team Rocket with a new s*upid plan only for it to get thwarted. My personal favorite is the first vice0principal whose name is Yes-Man. He literally fits the same description as vice-principal from GTO so I imagine his... more>> image as that. Also, every single thing that happens is blamed on the MC no matter how mundane or s*upid it is. Their house was destroyed, it was the MC's fault. They got a bad grade in school, it was the MC's fault. Your mom and dad got divorced after a nasty fight, it was the MC's fault. The MC always gets the most convenient abilities just when it is needed. This man can make a girl fall for him in one chapter. He could give me a random twig he found in the forest and make me fall in love even if I am straight. Anyways it's a great and fun novel. 1.5/10 <<less

Honestly I enjoy this novel. It’s not super high stakes but it is enjoyable to read. If you like the sense of humor in the novel then you will love it. If you don’t like the sense of humor then you won’t. I personally enjoyed it but if you don’t then that’s fine. I definitely think it’s worth a try at least.

I’m that type of guy who consume Power fantasy like it’s Cocaine. I f*cking LOVE power fantasy. The story doesn’t even need to be good I just want to see MC do OP sh*t and see the villain eating shit.

I can safely say this is exactly what I’m looking for... up until Chapter 135. This is not so much a review more or a rant

spoilers

The MC is nursing the longest lasting protagonist back to health after he was overthrown by an even bigger forces of power. This as*hole of a... more>> friend threw away his relationship with the MC the moment he learn he’s as weak as a twig. Then for 134 chapter he’s been trying unsuccessfully to try to RUIN the MC countless failed attempts. One after another. The MC know full well the extent of this pieces of shit’s involvement. Yet decided to forgive him and nurse him back to health. I like Villains turn Good guy more so than the next guy but this is not what I want. He’s not a likable villain at ALL. What’s worst is that since Chapter 135 it’s now Chapter 155. THEY’RE STILL DOING THE FLASHBACK. ITS BEEN 20 CHAPTERS. NORMAL STORY DIDNT EVEN LAST 8 CHAPTERS.

I’m Dropping this now. Because I find no enjoyment reading about a Happy-go-lucky-past. <<less

Another tale of hardships and struggles as an overpowered protagonist fights against armies of ignorant fools with nothing to rely on other than stats that are way beyond everyone else, a system that gives him knowledge about anything he might need, and the love and devotion of every beautiful girl he meets. Will it be enough though?

Of course it will. This is utterly ridiculous. This is yet another story that is only possible because the MC is too spaced out to realize how OP he is.

"Huh. My never before seen... more>> ability gives me powers that anyone would kill for. Neat. Better get back to my classwork."

On the plus side, he doesn't flee in terror whenever a girl talks to him. That's a very low bar but surprisingly few stories clear it.

Anyway, this is an average quality story about a dense OP protag in a fantasy school setting. Give it a shot if you want to see some wish-fulfillment from an MC that crushes all enemies and eventually gets the admiration of most of the people around him. His personality is bland but that makes him less obnoxious than MCs in other stories from the genre. So if you like the genre definitely give this one a shot. Also some of his jobs are interesting ideas. None of them ever get enough attention though. I am giving it 3 stars because the quality is just average but there are some weird aspects that I can't quite define which are legitimately interesting. So I will see a particular job or concept pop up and think "huh, I would want to read a story about that". So again, this is a 3 star for sure but if you like the genre you might actually like this more than you would expect from the quality. <<less

This series is honestly just a dumpster fire... the few good reviews seem to just be people who enjoy watching tr*sh burn. If I was actually going to write a review talking about everything bad in this book it would be longer than an essay you have to write in college. The world building is garbage, the characters don't have a personality other than idiot or wanting to f*ck MC and just the pure s*upidity of everything. To sum up this book its basically everyone attacking the MC for no... more>> reason whatsoever except for the hot pretty girls who want to f*ck him. <<less

A comedy of sorts where the basically all the people, except the protagonist and many girls, are antagonists. The classmates and teachers are all rude to the protagonist, but their plans always fail pretty much before they even start. There is not many special points of the novel, but even so if you enjoy level system, OP MC, and Jack-of-all-trades, this novel is pretty solid. Overall decently well written and translation is above average.

The Title of the novel is a paragraph which tells you the whole story just by reading it. Then the synopsis is literally the summary of first 5-6 chapters which tells us about MC but it is totally ruined because you read it ahead. People will say so do not read the synopsis, synopsis is for introduction of the novel in 2-3 lines like what to expect of the novel not the whole spoiler. Story is not even 2-dimension it is 1-dimension. Fights are pointless. In these types of novels... more>> it simultaneously shows the MC's former teams regret and their frustration and downfall in despair which kicks up the face slapping and is the one of main good thing but in this novel it was so badly written that it should have been omitted it would have been better <<less

The MC is either a saint or a masochist. He allows others to trample over him even when he has already become capable.

The setting is also so hard to believe. What world would there be where not even a single adult would stand up to blatant discrimination and oppression? Even more so when its a teacher vs student? In the real world, even if there are a lot of corrupt people, there would always be at least one or two that would choose to stand up. And the students shouldnt... more>> be so damn idiotic and s*upid. After MC repeated accomplishments, its hard to believe only so few would understand that he isnt completely incompetent.

This is one of the few rare novels that make me wish I could hit the author with a paper fan on the head <<less

If you read the first 5 or so chapters then you'll know whether or not you'll enjoy this series.

This novel essentially follows one formula:

    • MC is ostracized for being a commoner (not a noble) and because he was deemed "jobless" in the first chapter.
    • The person or people that are antagonizing the MC become fixated on causing MC to fail and look bad because they're super mean and not cool
    • MC overturns the situation because he's "the good guy" and that means he conveniently gets the right power at the right time
        • usually this step is paired with MC getting some random chick to probably like him or an existing chick to like him more.
Take the above then rinse wash and repeat which will then net you this novel. Honestly if you know what you're getting into then you can still enjoy it if that's your jam. Personally I would say it's nothing original but I still enjoyed reading it in the same manner I might enjoy a just "okay" movie where I basically know what it's going to be just from the trailer but want something to watch.

I rate this series a 2/5 stars: nothing special or original here and not necessarily the best writing ever but for a niche crowd there's something to be enjoyed here in the name of some "dumb fun"

P.S.

I read up to chapter 135 so the series may change afterwards, but the above review applies up to chapter 134. I may come back to the series but I was a little upset with what happened in that chapter.

I can't understand the mindset of the villains here, from students to royalty all of whom don't recognize the MC's achievements no matter how absolute he completes it. The MC's actions help all of them but they don't respect it and they continue to be ungrateful
