Cute, I guess, but I'm not a fan of the foundational trope of 'the entire setting as an instrument to pamper and glorify the protagonist'. I mean, yeah, the spoiler is right there in the, ah... 'title'. However, when Our Beloved Hero is gaining godlike powers—without genuine effort or sacrifice—more often than he actually applies most of them... When the world twists itself in the most implausible ways not only to immunize the protagonist against consequence, but to facilitate and elevate him in a rapid cascade of accumulated advantage, then the story is no longer a story; it's a hollow fulfillment fantasy.When impossible conflict or obstacles are a flimsy narrative straw man that exist simply to demonstrate the protagonist's overwhelming inability to lose, then there is no plot structure. This is simply... boring and kind of embarrassing. Some people are going to love 'chasing the dragon', as it were. For me, though, the last few chapters I've read, I've started out with an immediate sense of "oh god, here we go again" dread. I'm ready for a different dragon to chase. I'll grant this one an average rating, because at least in this case the story doesn't revolve around pica. Wait... Aw, bloody hell.
