The Systemic Lands by MisterVii

Mc is a good person inside but stays neutral at times. Power progression is slow, but it fits the novel. The mc isn't gonna be fat for long and doesn't think like a fat person either if you're wondering since that was a concern to me at the beginning.

This is a top tier novel in my books, the depth of character for a novel is great, characters feel like they're real people especially Michael. The imperfection of his character as a person and the choices he makes make the novel feel real. It felt very tedious to read this novel at times because I can relate to the people in the story. This novel is different and might feel repetitive after chapter 50 to some. It's very different from the typical novels on this site, a lot of other novels feel like copy and paste novels when you put them side by side with this one. I had to drop at around 200 because the mc is too nice and loathes human experimentations, he has too many boundaries that he's afraid to break even though he's very bold, his character is somewhat contradictory. anyways this novel is not for me, but I feel like it would be someone else's favorite soon so give it a chance

Where is the sigma male tag🗿

Read 10 chapters... And the conclusion is this - Remember those countless short stories in this genre, and third-rate characters, somewhere on the periphery of the protagonist. Arrogant, greedy, causing negative emotions. The fate of which is to die, and cleanse the world of dirt. Well, the main character of this story is such a character. Kill just because you're fat and the weak link? Please. And then a few chapters to justify themselves with stupid excuses. With a character like that, you wouldn't want to deal with anything, especially taking on your team. He is sure to stab you in the back, puffing his pig snout and remaining pleased.
The backstory justifying such a sociopathy is completely absent from him. An ordinary office, overweight employee who spends his free time reading novels. After a couple of days in another world, kills more than two people. Okay, let's say the first murder was justified. But the rest? Greed, greed... Everything is mine, everything belongs to me (oink). And he is all so special of himself, content with the fact that the extras moved only after ten days (not believable). Well, that's all for now, let's see what happens next. But like I said, the protagonist is just a nasty character who will even kill his own mother for promotion...

I just finished it and really enjoyed this one a lot. Does anyone have any recommendations for one that is similar?

Am up to the current chapter (80) and am very much enjoying things. There is very little filler and only a few chapters here and there which switch between multiple different characters POV and give you some insight into them. It's a good way to do things imo, as they are extremely infrequent, which doesn't take away the focus from MC, and the multiple different ones in each of these types of chaps means you get a good view of what multiple people are like/doing without spending too much time on any of them.

As others have mentioned, the MC does become kinda sociopathic, but his reasoning behind his actions is always explained and does make sense, given the circumstances. He is smart, able to recognise things that he can't/shouldn't do, able to stay focused on his path but also acknowledge that he makes mistakes and sometimes doing things in a different way might have been better.

The system itself is pretty minimal tbh and is really only accessible when at the store. It does give some very basic information to the users, such as how to use the store and how skills work, but theres no explanations for anything, so no clue what the stats actually do. They have to work them out by themselves. There's no jobs, missions/quests, titles, levels etc.

Overall I would highly recommend this novel. Its so good to have an MC like this where, even if you don't agree with their actions, you can clearly understand why they took them and agree with their reasoning behind the decisions made.

Good. MC is pretty sociopathic, but it’s realistic considering his starting position and beliefs.

He’s a bit extreme, which can get chuuni in his speeches, but it’s overall entertaining.

I wish progression sped up a bit, but the layout of the situation they’re in is interesting

as of ch 70
you can expect a mc that sticks to the definition of antihero/evil, he wants to stay ahead of the curve and survive in a f#cked up world and he wont allow common sense to stop him, for more details, to avoid betrayal and other human issues mc fights alone, he has no reason to kill anyone unless you cross his path with dubious intentions.

I’ll walk the plank to venture into the abyss. Wish me luck men. For where I’m going only darkness reigns
