I'm trying to like this but we are 6 chapters in and everyone still is mostly just looking down on the MC.
And it seems to just keep baiting us with thinking the MC is going to show everyone his power then something happens so he does not have to.
Chapter 6 ends on a cliffhanger but again I bet it just another bait and the MC will probably not do anything in the end.

There's actually a pretty valid point for him hiding in this one. Most of the issues with his old skill still apply to him now, with needing to look out for domination or instant death skills. Right now, he's still surrounded by other powerful skill holders and royalty. His skill also takes some ramp up time so he's not much stronger than his peers and would lose to adult SSS rank skill holders. It's a bad time for him to stand out and there isn't anything other than ego for him to gain by doing so. As for when he'll stop,
it will be around chapter 8 onward. Timeskips to the end of school and he leaves to work somewhere none of his classmates would go...except the childhood friend. Then he can openly fight people who mess with him or are attacking other people. Funny thing is, not all of the risks are gone. The best skills he can only purchase once a month and which ones are available are random, so he didn't get a chance to get the one that prevents domination. So the princess still gets to throw a slave collar on him and demand FUCK before the childhood friend has to save him.

Anyway, yeah, there's actual reasons they already explained for him to try to look weak and he'll adjust his behavior once he thinks the risks are gone.

MC "doesn't understand" any existence beyond one or two thoughts that may accidentally get lost in his skull, and every single action he takes is against his claimed goals.
Anything and everything he does has a stated reason, which is always the opposite of what he just said it was.
Claims he is just going to "work up" to his skills, but absolutely never does so, and then suddenly uses them well after he should have practiced.

This manga reads like an autistic AI shat it out to test if a printer was working, and some poor artist was forced to draw around the peanuts.

Absolutely grabage.

Skimmed chapter 1 to see if it lines up with that the synapsis says and yup. In all honestly, I can't say a fair rating but seems mid in the truest sense, not that good not that bad, gonna throw on in my bookmark pile

Really love how the childhood friend slowly becoming more and more of a stalker and MC just oblivious to it. Overall mid story and dumb MC

honestly if I were more immersed in the field of chemistry I could make a joke about how basic this manga is

God this is painful to read, I've seen generic Power fantasies before but this one takes the cake. Literally all the conflicts are so lazily written so the generic MC (with the personality of a board) can save the girls and increase his harem.
I mean one conflict basically was:

-Nameless Evil Guy: " Gahh... me and this other nameless evil guys are going to Rape this girl because that is what evil people do
* Evil Mustache Twirl * "
-MC: "No if I can stop it" * Defeats 6 guys with one attack *
-Nameless Evil Guy: "Gahh.. how can this scrawny boy be so strong and charismatic!?" * Faints *
-Girl: "You saved me! I am so wet right now..."
-MC: "You are wet?, It most be starting to rain!, take this umbrella! I am very oblivious and all the girls find that attractive for some reason."

Rinse and repeat, just with a different girl and different bad guys...

And don't forget that the manga started with a girl literally falling from the sky in front of him so he can very conveniently save her with his very conveniently recently acquired skill so he can very conveniently get op and the girl very conveniently also fell in love with him....

This manga is a 13 year old home schooled boy's wet dream...

Another idealistic but otherwise milquetoast Japanese MC given munchkin powers with a hand wave from the author. All so he can remain low-key in the pursuit of an easy life, while conveniently ignoring the big ass elephant in the room that 90% of the issues he faces day to day are from him being looked down upon, for his supposed weakness. The pay off from the moments he reveals his power are near zero because the action is poorly drawn and finishes instantly.

1/10 this is irredeemable garbage

The funny thing to me, about stories like these, is that all I want is the author to really sink his teeth into how OP the MC can get, in really interesting ways.
I want to see neat skill combos, evolutions, indepth development of the setting's powers and physics. Limits and ways to overcome them. I want it to feel like a D&D campaign where the DM is really lenient with the player's ideas, as long as they can justify them with the established world's setting, lore and rules.

Instead, with these sorta things, I just get the feeling that these authors see what's successful, copy it, and then have no idea how to really make it function.
They're like really sucessful students, who just understand how to get high exam scores and nothing else.

P.S: I wanna add, that for me, the story can be as miloquetoast and "avg" as any other, but I start having issues when the MC generates a harem he does not want, and cannot manage. A group of gold digging whores, who nag, and quite literay try to rape the MC at almost any chance they get, and the MC ends up feeling at ease only with an animal, a pet, because at least that creature won't rape him (until it unquestionably turns into a loli).

P.P.S: Seriously, all these MCs need as a quality, is the ability to say No.
They just want justice for all and to save the world? Awesome. If anyone obstructs that mission, the MC needs to have the ability to tell them No, fuck off.
These MCs are passive to allow the story to go anywhere, it's easy to write, but the end result is that they become a Yes Man that accepts everything. These isekai-esque writers need to do better at this point.
Aiight I really need to get back to work lmao.

So its exp point boost cheat, but the author didnt want to give him the exp point boost cheat from the start so he gave him a throwaway cheat at the start that gives him the exp boost cheat.
1/10 effort

This story is trash. What, elaborate? Really can't say anything that hasn't already been said. The mc is a pushover despite his power, his classmates are arrogant assholes, and the "heroines" are all unlikable quirky morons who barely do shit.
