Luck-Based Power Fantasy

POWER CREEP!

The book describes itself as 'perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, System Universe, and He Who Fights With Monsters!' and that's true. It does copy a lot from them—an overpowered main character whose main power is through getting lucky and being a bit of a psychopath. You must like a power system revolving around 'first to do x' titles like many of these books have and throw most other logic out the window.

10 percent into the book and he is the strongest in the world. 40 percent into the book and he is clearing levels faster than literal trillions of beings across galaxies. By the end of book 1, he is likely the most important being among quadrillions regarding the fate of the universe.

Ultimately, the power balance is way off here. The levelling too fast, the power our MC holds too rapidly progressing that it would simply have to extend to Naruto level planet destruction some time soon. As this is actually a webnovel, the author did realize that by the end of this book and stopped the rapid progression, which is why I can at least give 3 stars. I like the direction it is going by the end but most of book 1 was simply a bit ridiculous.
