Description

Peter's life as a slum rat good-for-nothing changes forever when he finally unlocks the system and discovers that given enough time, he could theoretically become the strongest person ever to exist without even moving a muscle thanks to his unique and overpowered Idle Progression system perk.

However, unfortunately for Peter, surviving in a world full of monsters - human and non-human alike - is far easier said than done, and for someone as overly ambitious as Peter time and luck never seem to work out in their favour.

Thus, to achieve his destiny and claim the position of total and absolute power that he feels that he deserves, he will have to master time itself and become the Idle Chronomancer.

So far everything is good. The story and world building is good. I never thought that with only 15 chapters at the time I started reading this was going to be so good that I wanted to read chapter after chapter. Keep up the good work author and plz don’t drop this novel.

Peter's evolution from downtrodden slum rat to potential powerhouse is a gripping narrative fueled by the allure of absolute power. Against a backdrop of danger and adversity, his journey to master the Idle Progression system and unlock the secrets of chronomancy unfolds with riveting suspense. This compelling fantasy tale captivates with its blend of ambition, action, and the timeless pursuit of greatness.

Story:
This story is, objectively, silly. Not in a childish way, but in an "this is my first DnD character" way. There are going to be times when something dumb happens, when a glaring plot hole appears, when actions are taken for no reason other than plot, and you've got to just roll with it. If the story says 1 + 1 = 3, then you have to accept that and move on or you're not going to have a great time reading this.
Grammar:
Not great. There is an extreme use of commas, sort of like this, where, to a ridiculous degree, the sentence will be overly punctuated. There is an error at least every 3-5 paragraphs that make you stop and wonder what was being said, and about once a chapter I am convinced a thesaurus was used without seeing if the new word fits.
Style:
The style is not amazing but no has no serious faults. It can often come across like a misinterpretation of the saying "show rather than tell". The novel will leave out what would be useful information to instead show you what is happening, only its like it missed the events of its own plot. Like watching someone fail a math test to level their mathematics skill, there is a disconnect between how things are and how the world seems to react to them.
Character:
There are no real characters, just plot devices. The antagonist that's willing to torture a child for literally no reason but plot. The fodder that act uncessarily dumb for no reason but plot. Even the MC that makes random decisions, that while often come with an explanation, tend to contradict, but it sure does further the plot.
Overall:
Good stories tend to come out as either junk food or unique dishes. A nice mix of the two leads to a healthy reading list. Personally, I find this story too nonsensical for even my braindead junk food pile and not interesting enough for my unique story collection; however, everyone has different tastes and I know plenty like it from the comments every chapter. I think that while there are some objective improvements the au
