Regarding the story being fanfiction, the author skillfully blends original plot elements with their own, creating a unique blend. In terms of reading enjoyment, I often find myself frustrated, mainly due to my personal preferences on how the characters should develop. The pacing stands out, as the power progression is slower than typical system novels, allowing for character development and diverse storylines without excessive power leveling.
The system itself is underpowered and demanding, requiring significant effort and resources to advance. This might frustrate readers who prefer quick power-ups, but the system's reliance on real-world media for reference adds an interesting layer, making it potentially powerful if utilized strategically.
The system works like a mobile game, where characters collect shards and recharge diamonds using real currency. However, the MC's lack of resource management and occasional reckless spending becomes a point of annoyance. Initially portrayed as a caring older brother, the MC displays inconsistent behavior, particularly during instances of sexual assault and obsession with legs, which detracts from his character.
The action scenes can be frustratingly predictable, with the MC's strength oscillating between vulnerability and overwhelming power, resembling a common anime trope. The MC's decision-making seems naive despite claiming an adult's maturity, leading to a disconnect.
In the romance aspect, the author's choice of romantic interests appears forced, with the MC's attraction to characters like Hanc*ck feeling contrived. The MC's dislike for Hina based on age difference is followed by a sudden interest in Hanc*ck, suggesting a predetermined love interest. The portrayal of Hanc*ck's affection feels shallow compared to other fanfictions.
Despite these issues, the novel is still a decent read. The MC's shortcomings prevent me from fully enjoying it, but the writing itself is commendable. I'd rate it 4 stars for its readability, despite the unsatisfactory aspects related to the main character and the treatment of female characters, which is common in this genre.
