this review will be updated after I caught up with the chapters. I just want to write a simple review first since I already read a bit of chapters. To sum it up, up to ch42 it's a bit too boring. To many chapters where I feel like I didn't learn anything new about the MC, fillers for short. And his personality sometimes don't make sense sometimes he's humble to the point of calling himself dumb sometimes he's arrogant thinking he's so good and the people he interacted with is bad and look down on them. But this can be blamed on spending 4years in an island alone so..
Edit: Im done. Final score shall be 3/5. I first can't pinpoint what I feel wrong with this novel. Then it hit me, we dont really know much about the MC. What I got from the boring 'prologue' is that he's a college student, we don't even know his major, and he wants to see his family. That's all, personality-wise we can say he's hardworking. Again, that's all. And now in chapter 60-ish he's interacting with people and occasionally saying pretentious lines thats sounds like 'they are weak bcoz they don't put effort' which is bullsh*t coz dude, u're in an island with the only 'danger' near u being fishes that u can basically smash with rocks, ofcourse u can practice while they live in a monster filled world. I think the problem is the world and character building. We didn't get 'glimpses' of what he will do in social situations so we can't 'predict' how he will act so when he goes and interact with people while trying to sound cool, to me it just sounds pretentious, like, who is this guy? The dude who tried to fly with his hands? The character is disjointed. And idk. I have so much more I wanna say. But I quit. GL.

*****BEFORE READING*****
This story is not posted here in it's entirely. The author left a link to a pay site for the rest of the chapters.
My review is for the story up until that point. It is extremely slow and more often than not tells rather than shows, meaning instead of describing events it tends to just summarize them.
The set-up is extremely drawn-out for much of the beginning of the book. You're left reading repetitive role playing game jargon for a plurality of pages (imagine writing a autobiography of grinding up levels).
After the set-up there is improvement in my opinion; however not much longer there after is when you hit the pay wall.
I personally am not invested enough to pay for the remaining chapters.

Anyway thanks author for the novel.

I feel like this had so much potential, and the novel is probably better than a 2-star review but it's up to the point where I don't even want to read it anymore, there is nothing significant happening the story, the plot is going nowhere and the character development is weak. I saw a comment in one of the chapters that wraps it up pretty well; it's like a summary of what is happening and many aspects of the story have little impact on the reader.
All around its mediocre and not really enjoyable to read.

Story is nice but very linear.

Annotation promised that MC would survive the plane crash due to his quick thinking and luck, but in the story there is really no quick thinking of any kind to be seen, just pure luck and many free stats rapidly handed to him as a reward for simply being the MC, just like it usually happens in the worst parts of litRPG genre.
At this point, I already wasn't expecting anything good out of this story. I mean, untruthful overly exaggerated annotation is typically a really bad sign, don't think I ever met a story that turned to be good after seeing such.
Have to mention that I didn't like the description of the plane crash itself. It was so unrealistic, that it left a bad taste, despite not being very important part of the story. Another bad point is... the language. While the grammar here might be ok, the sentences structure is far from literature grade. By itself it is typical for most litRPG stories, but has to be mentioned regardless.
This, along with other, unmentioned, shortcomings, caused me to drop the story without even getting to the middle.
