I decided to try this after reading the author’s Sorceror King series and I’m always up for some LitRPG. As soon as the story starts though, it doesn’t make sense to me.

The system voice states that it’s going to start a game. As with all games, players generally start out with a similar set of advantages and disadvantages. However, the MC immediately gets a boon from the system for something as inane as simply liking it a lot. Then monsters spawn that favor women the most while tending to kill the ugly more. Immediately, this inequitable game is already terrible for most people except the MC who hadn’t really done anything to deserve it.

The MC’s thoughts are also a bit cringey to read since he constantly refers to the girl he just met (and initially thought was 16) with comments like cute, attractive, and a huge chest. Everyone else is also cute in his head. Maybe some people are into this but it’s not really what I look for in an end of the world story.

If anything, this story just reads like a teen boy’s fever dream with OP skills and harem fantasies. However, with 600 titles in my library, it’s also not the worst I’ve read so it gets 3 stars from me at a 2x listening speed.
