The rest is just generic NPC without names. The few friends he has are even more emptier than him, only written to offer some kind of moral support. His family is just here to take profit, if he would fail (as MC, he can't) they would abandon him (atleast thats my feeling towards that family of pilots). Everyone walks over him, he is weak, not utilizing everything he has. He is truly just trash who is by NO CHANCE a genius or someone remarkable. He lacks basic common sense, intelligence or even anger. Doesn't have any quirks, nor something even a little bit interesting about him. Oh, and of course his tremendous MC luck ("plot-armor") helps a lot, but it's often pushed backward by artificialy created obstacles.Ĭharacters: MC feels like empty shell. It's horendously slowpaced, even after 900 chapters there is not much change in stats or main story. Your mother is dead, you father left you (he's gone "missing") with immense debt, backwater half-broken rusty workshop (that's why the debt), and system which doesn't have almost anything to do with story. Story: You start as a good-for-nothing, lazy, disillusioned, young graduate from backwater bottom-of-barrel university in third-rate kingdom. Only mech fights that doesn't work as literature. There is no comedy, no harem, noone interesting. The story and characters, whole setup feels undercooked and just borderline boring. Good sci-fi, if you are fan of mechs it's good. Definitely better than most of Chinese propagandistic novels or childlish litRPG's.
