    There is sufficient variation on the general theme that the book follows. I have a few negative comments. The chapters are too small. If the size were doubled, some of the readability issues would be eased. As I see it, the content of about 3 chapters could be compressed into chapters double the size.  If this results in a slower publishing rate, I feel that the improvement would be worth it.
    The other issue is also minor; the introduction does not match the first 30 chapters. This may be the direction that the story will follow, but it does not relate to the story as written so far.

    A great start with a good premise behind it. I look forward to both the MC's development as well as the family around him that are coming to life more with each appearance. The world building is opening up with lovely characters and interesting local's. I cannot wait to see what happens when the MC starts to develop his abilities as much as his personality.

    The story is good so far, but the author takes forever to get to the point.  A lot of this could have been combined into fewer longer chapters.  Also quite a bit seems to be fluff that could be either skipped altogether or at least shortened.  It drags at times.

    I think there might be a good story here. And the author, at times, writes solid prose.
    However, every so often the writing regresses. Particularly with the dialogue. Its so strange honestly. There are great sentences and then its like a teenager is writing. There is a lot of telling instead of showing, repetition (especially when it comes to characters full names), and odd word choice. Finally, the chapters are really short. Other than the first chapter, which was pretty standard at 2k words, the other 6 chapters I read were all between 500 and 1k words. Its not a huge deal, but because they are so short, it makes reading feel even more choppy than just the prose issues alone.
    Like my title suggests, the underlying story has no real issues, but an editor would help so much. Just the first 7 chapters could be edited to make a solid 3 or 4 chapters of a more standard length.
    I hope the author keeps at it. Creativity is the hardest part, whereas writing is a skill that can be developed like so many others.
    I will say, I don't understand how people can give this a 5, I think my 3 is generous. Its so raw right now. There are hundreds of stories on this website that are much more polished and are similarly interesting but get no love.

    I've kept going with this but I think I'm done.
    The title is misleading. So far absolutely no system, it's dormant, and I'm not sure how many more chapters till we get to the promise of a system granting the MC a skill each day comes to fruition based on the progress so far..100, 150?

    Nice Idea, the first scene was cool but I need a certain level of quality if language and characters. Got through the banquet but I just don't have the energy to read another young master struggle against the wind story.
    Story nothing really wrong mainly an inexperienced Author wanting to share his vision whilest forgetting that it's show don't tell. The nobles are angry. Hey these are the power rankings. Makes a Nice Idea and a decent word feel soulless. You need to delete this side note in which you put it and take a bit of time to write a piece of story where if you really need to can tell the reader about these levels, in the way of a study lesson or smt not like opening all your card.
    Many wording errors in simple sentences. Quality of language questionable.
    General Problems of Eastern Characters. Personal relation or global relation between Houses feels like forced open conflict instead of sceming. Interaction sometimes nonesensicle: King uses an old promise, gifts the kid a nice neclace and marrys him to his daugther and gives the kid the option to back out later. Dukes Family is Angry? Why? Other Instance nobles are angry over nepotism? Like of course the rich kid gets cool stuff and then some act out? I get that he was trying to show the disdain greed and other feelings of the nobles but failed.
    Author is sadly writing another basic Eastern Western fantasy without realizing that characters should not be caricatures. Hope he improves, migth try again later but for now I wouldn't recommend it.

    Ok when I read the title I was quite hopeful.  You can set some amazing clever things up with so much randomness.  Like how to survive a fight against some one trowing fireballs at you while you only have jugling, acrobatics and effectiv mokery in your arsenal. Or can you cheat a oral exam at the typical academie setting with just good acting and minor lie detecting coxing out the right answere from your prof? That where the things I was hoping for. And what did I get? 2 chepters of a Deus Ex macina to show how oberpowert the system is and explain why we will not see it for the next 60 chapters and probably longer since I have given up at 61. Then we follow up 20 chapters of bad mexican soapopera and 40 more chapters of basicly nothing exept showing how much grid the cookie cutter protag has while he slowly grow up.
    And that all on top of a quite weak writing stile that meanders and maybe think the audience need to get a expose on every nuance so you do sure not miss that this small change in posture that you describ and best handhold and explain everything.
    I don't like to write bad reviews since I get this content for free but with a title like this I feel slightly betrayed and frustrated that my hopes for it was so far off from reality that I feel the need to warn other people off of it.

    ★★★ 2.5
    The novel has a lot of ‘tell’ instead of ‘show’ with lines something like: they knew (character name) would be able to defeat a gathering this size. To me, it didn’t feel like I was being put into the character’s perspective at all; I was having a situation explained simply to me… which brings me to…
    The writing is grammatically correct, but that’s not difficult when the sentence structures are quite simple; like I’m reading something for an audience younger than Young Adult. I’m not younger than a teenager, so this didn’t really appeal to me.
    Overall the simpler writing and explanatory style felt a little clunky, if technically well-written. I would suggest that the author try to write more from the characters’ perspective to pull the reader into the story, rather than show it from an omniscient overview of what happens next.
    Continue to develop and deepen your writing, author, everyone starts somewhere.

    Honestly I am not sure how this story is on rising stars. The grammar and story telling are weak. There are comments praising the story that must be reading a different quality of chapter than I am. There are a few reviews that read like AI. I normally would move on and not leave a rating or review for a book like this, but it feels like the hype is artificial…

    The basic concepts in the story aren't original. A 'chosen one' who initially has issues getting stronger is the basis for a fair number of stories. That said, the story's originally doesn't make or break a story. If a story is well written it can stand on its own in any number of ways, and that's where this story falls short.
    First, the story desperately needs a lot of editing. I don't mean it needs to be professionally edited, this is a free site and works in progress are welcome, but the lack of editing is affecting the readability of the story.
    Second, the story uses a lot of words to say very little. This combined with the small chapter size leads to the chapter title's name starting to approach as much actual content as the chapter. There's still a gap between the chapter name and the content, but I shouldn't be able to make the comparison in the first place. This can be addressed with editing, either by merging the chapters together, or by adding subtext, secondary plots, and/or more world building.
