This could be interesting, but for some reason it's really boring after you get used to it.

My main objection is that this is the kind of story where while the MC grows quickly all the time, there always is the next challenge, and the next, and the next, and it is always barely survived. There never is any real success either since any victory is temporary until the next barely-survived catastrophe. While one problem is being solved one or more new ones pop up, such as a betrayal being prepared or somewhere somebody is preparing another attack on the MC. If I had that kind of life, even with hero-powers^2, I'd fake my own death and go and live somewhere under a new identity. The work life equivalent of an 80 hour work week for years, only that here your life and that of your friends is on the line, so even more stressful.

I really wanted to like the story but by now it's booooring. I think people who enjoy playing games such as Blizzard's Diablo probably also enjoy this kind of story: There is endless progress in numbers, but in reality you keep doing the exact same grinding all the time. You reach level 80 - your enemies are level 80-100. So nothing really changed. And there is no real other goal other than getting stronger, since the next attack wave surely will hit sooner rather than later.

Another thing I find a complete waste of my reading time is reading through lots and lots of skills - of which only one is picked. Why would I care about stuff that plays no role whatsoever? Yes those skills might be picked later - but then I'll get to read that long list again anyway. When one of those long "pick a skill/mutation" section comes I always scroll down to see what the MC actually picks and then only read that skill's description. Also, long deliberations about which skill to choose, same thing. I don't care about the stuff not chosen, it's just boring. Of course, anyone who fancies learning made-up skills by heart even though they play no role because they are not picked is going to disagree with me.

EDIT — continued to c134 but now dropping it:

I finally made me remove this story from my reading list. Too much of the above mentioned artificial story drama plays a big role. For some reason I find it more and more infuriating.

I think you should give it a try, my review is not of the kind written for a truly abysmal story. There's a chance you may like at least parts of it, and you can always skip over parts you dislike.

There actually is a lot of interesting ideas and a lot of good story in here. I just wish there was more (story) time to enjoy the world and the story and everything, instead of that endless grind. Imagine the "Uncharted" series of games but you would have no time to take more than an occasional split second glance at the grand scenery. I'm the reader type who does not enjoy (frequent and detailed and drama-rich) battles though, for example, I only know "Uncharted" from watching the (heavily abridged) game movies but would never play. That means my criteria is quite a bit on the subjective side and probably not a valid statement for everyone.

Macronomicon does not disappoint!!

One of the best Antihero MCs out there. The lad has a dream and an agenda to get through. He doesn't mind helping those around him but it usually comes with a couple of innocent deaths because you know... Living is a numbers game.

His moral ambiguity is justifiably backed by a fullproof logic that is understandable if you got your doctorate degree in Calvinian Physics. Unfortunately, no one ever takes that elective so they're usually baffled during the last moments of their life.

It would be worth the Audible credit but this isn't Audible and you get it for free. You f**king lucky bastards

The novel is great, altough sounds a bit confusing some times. For those coming in search of +18 content, the novel just jump the s*x scenes, so far nothing detailed.

EDIT:
Aparently the s*xual content in the warning its just +12 rated, there is no smut or NSFW in this novel. Im a bit sad about It because im a man of culture (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) . Anyway the plot is fun and well tought, I wont stay reading this novel because this was not what I was seeking, but I Will still give a solid 4 to the novel.

This author is excellent, not only did his first work instantly captivate me, he also   got even better in this one, if you like game system novels but is tired of wimpy Japanese MC, arrogant  Chinese MC or even the “too perfect” Korean MC I ask you to read this one.

It seems like such a good story so far, with a lot of hidden depth to it. I can't wait for more.

The story is pretty f**king funny and creative, but I'm really dissatisfied with the s*xual content. The "Adult" tag is a lie, there's no "adult" content, so I'd rather read something else that treats s*xual content more maturely and doesn't fade-to-black when the good times come.

Excellent character building for enemies, friends and everything in between.

Good pace, good fiights.

Author put a lot of thought into the story. The power system is really cool. Allows for weird/funny developments.

Best story I've read on Scribble Hub so far.
