This story starts getting good the second the main character starts making his own creative skills. While stronger then those his level he is not instantly over powered in anyway and his creation ability has good restrictions that make all his attempts more meaningful. So like the title said if you wanna see a dude either hundreds of skills then your should follow this novel. And as a bonus the grammars been perfect so hurray.

I really like the story line as the premise is different from what I have read before. Author does a good job so far in writing the story even though some of his inexperience shows through in his writing structure.I am going to stay reading because of the overall story line is interesting and I have become invested in it!

This story scratches the itch for a good progression and an interesting system. I really like the concept used. I can see the main character getting really OP quickly but I'm okay with that. I love a good weak to strong dedicated MC. Really looking forward to more chapters to binge.

Starts slow and kinda generic, but picks up pace very quickly.
System is solid. It is well-explained. The approach feels natural and justified.
Sometimes I feel the mc could do this or he could create this skill. Then he ends up doing just that in a few chapters. It's very entertaining. I highly recommend giving it a go

Very well written, I look forward to each chapter release. Great job Writer and I look forward to future chapter releases. And now I need to keep writing to hit this 50 word length requirement which drives me insane and know that I don't usually leave reviews because of it but because I enjoy your writing so much I did.

It's a good solid rags to riches story where the mc actually uses his brain....also the initial system notices may have been issued by a positive feedback pachinko machine. LaughterJust about spit coffee on the screen with the first over the top OP rarity skill.Looking forward to his new job feeding back into his skill.

Though it has only 6 chapters now. I like the story by far. Not too many characters introduced. The introductions and interactions feel natural. Story focuses on Jimin and his inner thoughts. We discover things through him.
I like progression by far. It's not much but I like that he isn't OP suddenly. he is taking steps thoughtfully. Let's hope it maintains this in the future.

Reminiscent of Solo Leveling but more unique in its telling. Interesting MC power with a wide range of future growth. The world building is detailed which is nice. The notes at the end of chapters are great in expanding on the chapters themselves. Excited to see where this story goes!

Wanted a story with action, adventure, with aspects of dungeons and game mechanics. It provided along with a good story, good world-building which is based on reality since it is located on Earth, and an MC that has an advantage that can create endless possibilies on where the story could go. The only thing holding me back on a full 5-star is chapter length or depth, because I like a good read, and when a story is good, I want more.

Underdog plays it mostly smart and I am enjoying how he does it. Give it a shot if you enjoy the genre.
I am encouraged by his lack of spite towards the antagonists to this point. Hopefully will see or find more of what motivates and inspires the MC. Also hoping to see some theory crafting at points as there are few so far, create the fix to my immediate need that indicate a … well, a 16 years old perspective pretty well now that I think back on it. Well played sir, well played. Hope he grows out of it and focuses on larger gains and further foundation building.
