Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Cyclo Owen. As a genius boy engineer, he was a person of great promise in the circles of magical tool production. However, at the age of 16, he was given the job skill of “Clock User” in a skill-giving ceremony. In this world, it was forbidden for those with job skills to work in any other occupation. Thus, Cyclo’s path as a genius engineer was cut off.
However, Cyclo did not despair and worked diligently as a watchmaker and contributed to the craftsmen’s guild by using his job skill as a Clock User. One day, however, the guildmaster of the craftsmen’s guild banished him from the guild, saying that the guild did not need a watchmaker, a profession with little usefulness. Cyclo, who has lost his job, faces further despair. He happens to hear that a police officer is planning to r*pe Miranda Lilibel, the neighborhood apothecary’s lady. Since the police is involved, he cannot carelessly report the crime. So Cyclo decides to stop the plan that night. He tries to restrain the police officer who is about to attack Miranda’s house, but he is detained by the officer instead. He is then accused of trying to r*pe Miranda, and when Miranda hears the commotion, she tells Cyclo she has misjudged him.
Cyclo is thus made a criminal for attempted r*pe, and is sent to a remote area to explore the worst dungeon in the world. In the frontier, imprisoned adventurers are considered to be at the bottom of the heap, so Cyclo is looked down upon. Furthermore, due to rumors spread by his younger sister, Alice Owen, a well-known genius alchemist among adventurers, he is treated as incompetent here as well.
He is then mistreated by adventurers who makes uses him as a baggage carrier, and is pushed down to the bottom of a valley in the dungeon.
At the very bottom of the dungeon, Cyclo wished he could use his Clock User abilities to stop his internal clock. Then his hunger stopped. This led Cyclo to understand that his skill coul manipulate anything that could be counted as a clock.
Thus awakening to his true power, Cyclo escaped from the deepest part of the worst dungeon. In recognition of his achievements and abilities, he is recognized as an SSS-class adventurer.
On the other hand, those who had driven Cyclo to misfortune are now faced with misfortune in Cyclo’s absence.

To start with, the writing feels like it is from someone who lacks imagination. The writing is simplistic, and feels only like an expanded outline, as opposed to finished chapters. The chapters themselves take less time to read then it takes to load a new one.
The story starts with the MC having it all. A fiance, a loving sister and mother, a promising future at the craftsman guild, and is excellent in creating magical items. When they (MC, fiance and sister) reach 16 years of age, they go to the church to identify their god given skills. Fiance is first, becomes a 'saint' and is taken away by the church. Sister is second and becomes a 'sage' and is immediately taken away by the adventurer's guild. MC is last and comes up as 'clock user', which noone has ever been before so it's anti-climatic despite the outlandish reveal. Therefore he gains employment at the craftsman guild.
Suddenly, everything falls apart for MC. He's fired by craftsman guild master for having a useless job (despite some people only getting a skill of 'dexterity' and having a history of making magical items?). Second, fiance's parents want nothing to do with him, and call off engagement. Third, sister is adopted by adventurer's guild master. Fourth, mother falls in love with Count Ikkeman (lol) and moves out to become servant of Ikkeman in order to become mistress. Fifth, MC is falsely accused of r*pe by a local cop, who was intending to do the r*pe in the first place.
At trial, fiance hates MC. Victim of attempted r*pe hates MC. Hero of country arrives to testify against MC. MC not allowed to testify or refute any evidence. Surprise! MC found guilty and made a baggage by s*ave for adventurers in the frontier at the 'worst dungeon'.
MC is called 'useless' and 'no good' because of what was later found out to be his sister. He's abused, not fed well, and eventually falls into the dungeon because of adventurers' actions. Cut to power leveling montage where MC finds new and uber powerful uses for skills/job.
While this is going on the following happens elsewhere:
Fiance falls in love with hero, later discovers hero lied to have MC found guilty and was in league with the cop who implicated MC. Instead of bringing it to the attention of church/goverment/king she gives in and becomes hero s*x toy. Turned out the money and letters she had been sending to the MC never got to him because of church aide embezzling money and destroying letters.
Sister was sending money to brother through adventurer's guild, jokingly saying she needed to help her useless and no good brother because his job/skills didn't bring as much money as hers. Later discovers the GM hadn't sent any money to brother, and had in fact kept it for sister/daughter instead. Sister gets mad, burns down adventurer's guild and seriously injures GM. Then disappears to frontier.
Mother found out Ikkeman was hen pecked and desired stronger men, quits job as servant and finds that her home had been foreclosed and sold off because son had been convicted of r*pe, can't get job because of son, now homeless.
Victim of MC's crime still chased by cop, eventually gets kidnapped, r*ped, and turned into s*x s*ave. Finds out MC was never involved in crime.
Meanwhile, back at the Clock-cave!
MC makes his way out of the 'worst dungeon' and reports to guild the circumstances, adventurers who tried to kill him are arrested. Called to GM and eventually town lord. Absolved of crime and made SSS adventurer, you know without starting at the bottom like most others. To nobody's surprise, when tested, found all stats to be S or higher. Then it's suggested to him to buy a s*ave, because that's how other stories go.
Buys the weakest most pathetic s*ave that has a 'wicked believer' job which is banned by church. Hey, maybe she's from Boston! Turns out s*ave's job is more powerful than a saint, which is wicked awesome! While s*ave being registered, fight at adventure guild because guild receptionist can't shut up. Fight happens, MC wins and big b**bed party member of the guy that started the fight wants to join MC party, and have babies.
Hero and Saint brought before king. King knows what happened with MC and because king's granny owned a clock that was maintained by MC, and is now busted because of incompetent craftsman guild. Hero sentenced to fight on the front lines, police officer crucified as an example, saint sent to monastery because silent s*x toy.
Mom finds out about crucified cop, and bludgeons to death with stick in the square.
Sister sees MC, s*ave and big b**bs and tries to talk to MC. MC all pissy with sister, makes her cry. Because the adventurers picked on him because of what she said, and not because he was convicted as a serial rapist, and it's all her fault, duh.
Cut to sister follows MC, s*ave and big b**bs into dungeon, tries to help and he gets pissy again. She tries to jump into the pit that he had previously been tossed into and MC stops her. To make amends, sister becomes s*ave to MC, finds out she's bro-con and wants to be s*x toy.
MC, s*ave, big b**bs and bro-con go on adventure to a town where they find victim, who's now a s*x worker and has been pe*verted into someone who is qualified for the job.
This is where I stopped, but I can expect that the victim will become MC's s*ave and join party. MC will eventually find saint, who will become MC s*ave and join party. Spirit of dead cop will possess monster in dungeon and will result in wicked fight. Hero will somehow get away from war and will confront MC and fight, my money's on the MC. MC will start new craftsman guild in capital and will fix king's granny's clock. All hail the wicked MC!
One of the biggest issues I have is that the author redeemed the characters who caused the mc’s problems too early and too quickly. The author sometimes shows the POVs from other characters to redeem them in the eyes of the reader, but I feel that the story would flow much better if we are solely focused on the main character. For instance, instead of telling us how the misunderstanding with his sister happened the second after we read about it, it would be better to have the reader gradually find out about the facts along with the MC rather than straight up being told what actually happened.
