I KINDA DROPPED IT

idk it feels different and definitely good but i can't say for sure if it is gonna stay good or not. THE NOVEL IS NOT BAD NOT GOOD , I FEEL LIKE THIS ONE TARGETS SOME PARTICULAR GROUP OF PEOPLE. DEFINITELY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED JUST TRY IT AND YOU WOULD FIND OUT. [dawg #your lord i never said anyone to not read it, This is fkng reviews so bro everyone has their own remarks] and i did rate it 7 cause the story is decent the art is good, again, if something is not my type should i say that is shit and stuff.

Generic but Interesting

I like that the protagonist's main power-up comes from being forced (basically mind-controlled) to work hard despite being a deadbeat at heart. It may result in interesting character development as he clearly knows he's that way but failed to change...
