★★★ 2.5

Main character is a "pro" gamer.
Has read system apocalypse stories.
Questions if any of this is real like 20 times
Abandons people his neighbors and whole families to die while complaining when people don't let him in their shelter.
Asks about the dumbest most obvious shit *sees a monster claw drop from a monster corpse* "what is this?" he says. Sees someone healing him from the brink of death "what are you doing?" he says.
(Even though yes he gets annoyed and elaborates when people in the story point out the obvious answer to his question, he still does it way way way too often and it frankily pisses me off.)
Actively ignores using his skill stone to learn a skill and exploring his system menu for hours upon hours or learning how to use his system inventory for hours instead he just pockets the monsters drops.....
Actively fighting and walking for hours without learning about his new reality, ignoring bandaging his wounds.... Not even using his skill stone or even attempting to try.....
He meets a little difficulty figuring out his inventory and just gives up.....
( And the readers are supposed to believe he is a top of the leader boards "pro" gamer. )

★★★ 2.5

Characters tend to be fit within limited 'archetypes' and behave largely repetitively therein (including repeating some near word for word phrases about relations occasionally), and both timing and ability seem to be heavily plot based and variable. This is particularly obvious in the cases of the protagonist and villains, but unfortunately extends also even to background characters.
Has some underlying promise (the early idea of the slow roll of the system was interesting), but needs cleanup and could use some focus.

★★ 2.0

Negatives first:
Editing, editing, editing. Not sure if the author is a native English speaker but there are dozens of misspellings, incorrect word choice (your, you're, there, their, they're etc.), and generally poor grammar.
The protagonist is really a wimpy type and it's hard for this male to relate to him. As a few others have stated, I'd rather be following Brick's story. I prefer mages, but Jut is a mix of everything and Jack of all Trades is super hard to write well.
This book has zero sexual situations, no graphic violence and almost no profanity. Make sure the headings match the content. I removed a full star for this.
Positive:
There is a lot of room for growth. I admire anyone who actually has the courage to put the words down and publish. If I was this writer, I think I'd hiatus this book and start another. YMMV
