I can't say I'm a fan of the story. It reads basically as "What if Crabs-in-a-Bucket mentality could manifest with paranormal force", and it basically makes any sort of effort one does pointless. Just look at MC, tries his best to live properly and righteously and NOPE, cursed with suck because others felt he shouldn't be above them. The ol' japanese 'don't stand out, just do what everyone else does' in full force. It reminds me of another series I dropped where MC trains all his life with swordsmanship and athletics, and when he comes of age and his power isn't based on swordsmanship and athletics, his skill and muscles literally get magically drained away because "that's not what the Gods meant for you lol, do what your omnipotent betters demand".
