You know, the title "crawling from level 1" feels meaningless if he's already lv 72 by ch 2.
"max level from the get-go" i guess that game also allow you to pay for level then and with how he can use p2w item non-stop.
That mobile game can't be any good, that would be a massive p2w game that most people would stay away from.
I got a kick outta his "not like other gamers" line since, y'know, everyone starts at lv1 and has to grind to max level? That's kinda how games work? Actually, with this game's apparent monetization system, totally wouldn't surprise me if you could make a fresh account and character and just buy XP to max or whatever. (wait why do people play this game again)
I think you are missing the premise.
Before ch 1 begins, the game has been out for a while as a regular mobile game. MC and the other top players are already at the level cap of 99 (btw MC is f2p). And the game is planning to increase the level cap to 130 in the next major update scheduled in two months.
However, before that major update, ch 1 event happened. MC's foster father deleted his account data. Then all the players got summoned into the game world.
Based on ch 3, all the players get to use their original account. That's why there are many who started at the max level.
But because MC's account was deleted, he had to restart from lv1.
