NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System

This one had a lot of potential, but it fell flat, and it fell hard. Firstly, he has a dating sim system but he doesn’t use it for dating. And the dating sim system for some reason has basically every system in one. He can upgrade his appearance, fighting, control magic, TIME CONTROL. Why even call it that system if it’s used another way the entire time.

Alright, ultimately that’s just a small point that has no bearing on enjoyment so it’s forgivable. What really pisses me off is the rest. At the top of my hate list is the writing. HOW MANY TIMES CAN SOMEONE BE SPEECHLESS? A character or group of characters was, “left speechless” on average 3 times per chapter. I’m not sure about you guys, but to me, if you are speechless it’s because someone did something insane and should rarely happen. Really, the author or translator or editor or someone just has an attachment to the phrase when they should be using other things like “surprised, chuckles in disbelief, eyebrows raised, staring pointedly, etc” there’s so many alternatives man. I can’t remember what but there were 2 more phrases that were similarly annoying.

Onto the next complaint, the dude is way too perfect and has emotional intelligence bordering on omnipotence. I don’t care if he was a social worker in his past life, he should not immediately know what to say to every friend, family member, acquaintance, or love interest that perfectly suits the situation. Sure it’d be feasible if he used the system for it, but no, this man must have been Buddha in the past life because he possesses the ultimate wisdom without any help from his OP system. Overall, the guy is actually flawless, and it’s not normal. It becomes painful to read.

Finally, the rest, the plot, battles, and school stuff. Honestly, from the first time the Yin Yang Master was mentioned, the plot became convoluted. Literally, anything to do with the magical side of this world I was just thinking WTF? If you watched me reading from 150 onwards there actually might have been question marks above my head. It was so WTF I was saying “Wtf is this?” every few chapters. I have no idea what the author was going for, but nothing made sense at all plot-wise. It was really just a shitshow. It’s a bit sad because none of the ideas were bad plot and system-wise, but it really did fail hard. Anyway, I wouldn’t recommend this one unless you really don’t care about plot and you want to study the Divine Art of Social Working.

It has a interesting beginning (like 20 chapters?) then itstarts to become repetitive and boring,aldo for a novel called date sim system the guy barely usethe romance options (like 7 times in 100 chapters), he just use the stat boost system to become your cliche shounen character.
