I agree with other reviewers. Sadly. The art is real good but... I really don't like the trope that make MC change his character. And also I think that character change in this instance was kinda cringe. MC says stuff that's just pure arrogance. Gets away with it. Because of some skill from the system. I would let it get away if it was his own talent. But it's not. Let me say it the set up was really good. I liked the idea. Just that I hoped to see... more>> character interacting with the world. Not the skill interacting with the world. Not really in the mood to melt some brain so. Bye. (I know I read only 5 chapters but this theme does not seem to change according to others)

P.S.

If my english bad sorry. not. native. <<less

It contains that very annoying trope where the MC has an ability that changes what he intends to do or say constantly. So rather than our character getting to interact with the world it's just his abilities that control what he says. For example he meets his brother while trying to do something and he intends to just shrug off what his brother says. But because his brother had animosity it triggered "Charisma of the Dark Flame Dragon" which means he immediately starts insulting his brother even when he didn't... more>> mean to. <<less

To be honest, I picked up this novel because of the cover art and thought it would be an interesting read. I was disappointed.

I originally thought that the novel was too fast-paced, but then I pinpointed the problem. The character interactions are too shallow.... more>>

Spoiler

For example, at the very beginning where Van starts his journey of proving his ability, Hans immediately becomes a glazer. Sure Van does proof his worth, but the supposed 'genuine' praise is exaggerated to the point where it feels fake.

The surrounding character's exaggerated opinion of Van is also extended throughout all of Van's interactions with other characters. They're just constantly singing praise for Van which makes it annoying rather than satisfying to the reader for our protagonist.

Despite the characters, I do appreciate the setting the story takes place in—especially the magic system. Some parts of the novel look into the details of the magic system and is interesting enough to read through. I won't persistently check for updates for this novel, but I'd most likely read this as a read to melt my brain cells to. <<less
