being a middle-aged human is hard. *protecc the loli-s continues*

@Salfaro At level 11 his stat gains should be at +30 now. Before he would have been at just +49 at level cap. He's just a newbie level-wise, but already close to his strength at his 'prime'. His stats will max out at +147. Around ~50 over the average. Pretty nice cheat.

I think experience (i.e. knowing what to do and how to move, not 'level-up' experience) is way more important than just raw physical attributes. It seems stats are just a modifier to effectiveness.

That bunny is the stuff of nightmares

@cor3zone It's still not a very good cheat because it's only a cheat comparatively to his original self, which doesn't matter when the point of a cheat is that it elevates them above everybody else to "cheat"y levels. If you have a guy with no arms and legs, and a genie suddenly gives them all four limbs, they haven't been elevated to "cheat level", they've just been made average, even if they're in a position that's infinitely better than where they were previously. So the "cheatiness" of his power should be calculated vs people who get the average +2, not his previous anti-cheat self.

Is his power better than being average? Sure, but unless this world has some exceedingly ridiculous stat scaling, having 50% more stats than average seems pretty minor for the kinds of ridiculous feats that happen in isekai (and I really doubt this is going to be any different from, if his side party is already shooting off the highest tier of thunder magic). He's already oneshotting enemies that full parties of average adventurers almost die to after a single level up, and if that's really just caused by his prior experience and not his stat numbers, it makes me wonder what the endgame is here when he catches up with his probably pretty intermediary prior knowledge (since despite being max level his stats made him just equivalent to an average adventurer half his level), or if the author will just ignore it and pretend like he has building-destroying strength or whatever anyway.

 

[cor3zone]

@Salfaro A 50% increase over the average is on the level of 'genius'. When he hits level cap again, he will be better than anyone in all stats.

So with more than one drop.. will he rejuvenate to his twenties?
Or he is just going to halt his current status quo of back pains?
God damn, that rabbit is from hell!
Just when I thought the elf is a archer.. she's a mage!
Arrow creation was still within borders but suddenly using bolt spells.. ' -'

 

[Oneesamaa]

He may be over 30 be he is just your typical MC.
What a letdown. I somehow expected something from this one.

 

[mildev]

That bunny is so cute even with those jaws and weird body proportions

 

[Anarchyant]

36 year old with a 12 and 14 year old slobbering over him along with another kid who was trying it on with him.......yeah....ima outa here. Not into this weird crap.

 

[Kazumaik]

Too bad, even with her affections.. he couldn't get the elven dew until after becoming a old uncle..

 

[feha]

Why can't he tell her the truth? Besides, feels like an unknown monster that can drain peoples levels would be much more serious and considered a huge threat to any adventurer or auxiliary personnel, than a location where you can voluntary reset your levels to redo all the gacha. Way to blow up your "issue" through lying!

So you gain 1-3 points on level up, which means you'd average 2, and now he gets 3, so his cheat is that he's 50% stronger than an average adventurer? I know he has knowledge anyway, but for him to be level 2 or whatever the first time he finds the golem and already busting out mid-level spells seems a bit ridiculous even if he knows they exist. Maybe the elf girl has some bloodline thing that lets her cast god magic or whatever at level 10, but that cheat setup doesn't seem like it does a whole lot for him aside from the fact that he was so unlucky at first.

Also, 5 years to fill a jar of something really isn't that long when a single drop can stop a human from aging. 1 cup is ~4000 drops and 5 years is ~43000 hours, so it takes 10 hours to make a drop that would be effective. Why aren't there a ton of immortal humans running around? Maybe there are, but I doubt it'll be a thing that'll come up.

His cheat is that he is 300% as powerful as he could be before. You see, for some reason he had this setting where he only ever got +1 each level.
So yes, 150% of an average adventurer, but to even reach that he used to need to compensate to 200%
