Embark on to see Sora's limits, if he has any....
Everything in this story is mediocre.
The story is built on "wow you're so strong". The fights are showy, the main character uses the power of the earth, the power of fire, the power of water, the power of ice and much more to then stab the enemy with a mythical stick (sorry, staff)... The main character is a simpleton not worth paying attention to, who has no specific goal in life.

Initially, I awarded this story a solid four stars. However, as additional chapters were released, I began to notice certain inconsistencies, not only in the protagonist’s personality, which seems to advance mentally only to suddenly retract that progress, leading to some understandable reader frustration.
Another point of concern is the power system. It starts off promising, suggesting a bright future for the protagonist, but as the narrative unfolds, the progression becomes increasingly hard to justify, ultimately leaving the main character appearing somewhat weaker than one might expect given what we know about his abilities and the world. It almost seems as if the author, midway through the writing process, realized that the protagonist’s ability was way OP and decided to tone it down by elevating the overall power level of the world without a clear, narrative-based motive.
Additionally, the world-building and the main character’s understanding of his environment feel underdeveloped. For someone who has been a Player for five years, he appears to have very little concrete knowledge about the world until after he uses his innate skill for the first time.

On a more positive note, setting aside these concerns, I would say that the story’s true strength lies in the author’s creativity with both the abilities and the situations he constructs. His skill in portraying the protagonist as a real, relatable person, someone with a family, who experiences sadness, contemplates giving up, and exhibits genuine human traits—is commendable. Even the character’s contradictions, though occasionally a source of irritation, are rendered in a distinctly human and authentic way.
Regarding the secondary characters, my impression remains neutral; while none of them stand out remarkably, they also do not detract from the overall narrative.

I find this story very well written, especially for a first upload. Not much more than that to say, at least right now. I'll probably update the review later, when there's more to remark on.

Pretty solid story, the only thing I can criticise about is power level being a little confusing, but that's for basicly any fantasy story.

I'm hooked. I binge read everything published over several days. Now I'm stuck waiting for new chapters to come out. Fortunately, they are coming out fairly fast.
I like the characters in the story and how they interact with each other. (Or hate, in the case of a few very nasty villains.) The RPG progression system keeps revealing new hidden secrets as the MC levels up. But the progression looks natural, not like the author is fixing the system.
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do.
