UNDERATED- Overall rating 4.8/5 (I'm lenient when I review)SHORT CRITICAL REVIEW- Read 118 chaptersAs of the time I'm writing this, it's been 4 months. The amount of recognition this work is getting is pitifully low for what it deserves. It's a solid read for webnovel standards. The story develops quite nicely and besides the beginning which is a little slow, the pacing is good. There are many interesting ideas in the novel and the author does well to execute them. Many novels on here have interesting ideas, but the execution tends to fail. Here, it's quite clear and well explained. I'm not really sure why this novel isn't popular. Perhaps its because some people think its similar to Supremacy Games? (I haven't read that so I can't comment) Maybe it's the little slow start? The other point I could think of would be characters. Personally, I am pleased with the MC of this story. Kind, Silly, Misfortunate, kind of a gag character because of his gambling addiction, Naïve (which he grows out of), perhaps these traits shove away people expecting a ruthless, cold, selfish, anti-hero-like character, pragmatic character, survival of the fittest because the story is a survival game which people expect. It's a shame. It's refreshing to have a more morally good character in such a story. The Mc is very close to his family and has shared his secrets with them (Father and little Sister), which I suppose some people don't like because it's 'Stupid'. Yes yes indeed but not every mc can hold such burdens or secrets within their heart. The MC here actually feels much more human.I've also noticed that some people don't like the Little Sister, but personally I quite like her. Brocon aside, having seen many characters like her in other works, she is much much more on the likable side. She can be seen as annoying, clingy, but readers fail to see that its a very close brotherly and sister relationship. She is executed well.I hope people are more willing to give this novel a shot. It really deserves better.Shipping wise, it is intended to be 3 potential love interests. 118 chapters in, there's only been 1 that has been having the screen time. The other 2 are up in the air in regards to if they have appeared or not. I am looking forward to it. Hopefully I get some romantic drama with 1 heroine winning at the end.
