One in a Billion

Description
My name is Xelean, since I can remember I always saw strange shapes floating in my field of vision. When I asked my parents about it, they looked at me concerned, perhaps thinking that I had a vision problem. Seeing his reaction I quickly said that it was all a joke. However, when I learned to read, I understood a little better what those images with letters were thanks to the following message:'Congratulations soul of the multiversal soul flow!!! You are the soul number 1 Billion that will be born in the world to which you were destined, in consideration and because the current situation of the world, certain benefits will be granted:[User interface][Inspection][Accelerated balanced growth]
Sincerely, The Hive.'

Author Note/Warning:English is not my first language. One of the reasons why I started writing this is to improve my writing skills, so if you see any errors, please leave a comment.
In this work there may be similar things/references to different novels (from webnovel and outside of it), role-playing campaigns, movies, anime and manga; since they shaped the idea that I have of the stories and I think that, in part, many of the ideas that I have in mind are consciously or unconsciously inspired by them.

- Esmy P.Royal Road★★★ 3.0I really liked the premise of the story and the somewhat unusual system it uses. The interfaces, stats and skills aren't too much and no blue boxes either.
The MC is pretty good, he acts his age and a lot of room for growth. His talent is especially good at farming exp which gives him many levels and stats but doesn't make him a genius in swordfighting or magic. Overall an acceptable level of OP if handled well.
The parents died before I could really care about them (not even enough to put them behind a spoiler wall) but then we got to meet some great characters that have amazing potential for development, we got the labyrinth and it's levels and monsters and hints of world building for a greater plot line. A new continent that brings new conflicts, more races, a tournament and more adventure. Great!
However, although the story is entertaining and generally pleasant to read it really suffers from some problems that need work.
The grammar and the style of expression the author uses are an obvious sign of English being a second language. I did notice some improvement as the chapters go on, but the author should consider rewriting the first ones. Overall it's still readable and doesn't affect my immersion most of the time.
The most important problem in my opinion is the logic of the story and how it fits into the plot. Things like lowering everyone's IQ so the MC looks smart, or making everyone pathetically weak as if the mc's strength isn't exaggerated already.
For example, the mc's amazing suggestion to his elf archer friend to aim for the eyes, that also got praise from the instructor. You mean to tell me that professional archery instructors have never mentioned this ever? Cause it's a pretty basic thing in about every fiction and in reality.
Another example: The MC reaches the 79th floor of the tower which is the top previously explored floor at age 15 and after less than 3 years of training.
So apparently the church is artificially limiting everyone's power and u - SiliconWolfRoyal Road★★ 2.0I'm 47 chapters in, and I can't say a lot has happened. The story isn't a total snooze-fest, but only when you get to chapter 46 does the story even give you a hint of the larger plot. And quite frankly, I'm not sure I care.
I'm not emotionally invested in the MCs success (or failure). I'm not interested in the story's plot. I don't care about any of the side characters. Well, except Ozy the potion seller. That guy needs his butt kicked for what he did.
The author is talented enough to get me to read 47 chapters where nothing much happens. But now that I'm caught up, I have to admit that I'm not happy I started this series.
