Initially, I found the novel to be quite engaging, particularly for the first thirty chapters, where the story showed promise and a captivating premise. However, my enthusiasm quickly waned as the narrative took a sharp turn downhill. The plot became overwhelmingly dominated by intricate magic theories—over 90% of the content revolved around concepts like spell nodes and spell structures. It’s worth noting that the protagonist hasn't faced a single zombie in what feels like a hundred chapters, which is baffling given the apocalyptic setting of the story. Moreover, the once intriguing system that appeared to be an overpowered (OP) golden finger has gradually lost its significance. What promised to be a unique and exciting element has now devolved into a somewhat obsolete feature, diminishing my initial excitement for the narrative. If the storyline had continued to unfold with the same energy that gripped me at the beginning, I would have rated the book much higher. Unfortunately, the necessity of paying to unlock chapters only to discover how tedious and monotonous the progression has become felt like a frustrating endeavor. In a recent update, the protagonist has inexplicably started teaching everyone around him how to wield magic, which he once considered his trump card. This peculiar turn of events seems to stem from his "loneliness" and desire for companions to explore the intricacies of magic—despite the dire apocalypse surrounding them. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that this character has previously been outmaneuvered by spell scrolls of his own making, raising the question of his competence. If the plot armor that protects the main character were to falter, it’s clear he would have met his end multiple times by now, potentially at his own hands no less. In light of these developments, my interest in the story fizzled out completely, leading me to drop the novel entirely before I suffered further disappointment. It’s a shame, really, as it had so much potential at the outset.
