The Mech Touch by Exlor

Maaan, I'm infuriated everytime I think about this novel.

The most infuriating thing about it:: Ves.

The dude is the exact representation of what happens when a loser gets a system.

He is sooo pathetic I could die. Peanut butter got more backbone than the MF!

When one loses he's parents, you expect one of two things.

A - Turns to the dark side to make everyone suffer as he does

B - Work to make sure no one suffers as he did.

With the sheer amount of opportunities in form of family members, mentors and even organizations, you'd expect that their influence would grow on him.

But no, this motherf#cker got abandoned and trashed by 'family members' cause he was born wrong, sneered at by the public as just another wannabe, just another number on the planet.

And in spite of all this, develops love and patriotism, no, fanaticism-cause that's the only way to explain it-for them throughout, like a bitch with Stockholm syndrome.

He's a workaholic, able to calm assemble such high tech mechs, yet can't straighten out his relationships.

Worst of all, this bitch doesn't know how to say 'No'

They just throw him around like an inanimate object

And upon all his active brain cells, he doesn't seem to understand that staying in the republic slows his growth by at least 40%

The bastard had reality breaking technological knowledge at his fingertips...and just wastes away like every other random nobody

Beyond his mech skills, he's average at every thing else

His character is infuriating in that it makes no sense and makes perfect sense at the same time.

He's the exact imprint of what would happen when you give the most average factory worker a system

It takes him hundreds of chapters to do simple thinking.

I'll give you one example.

I still cannot understand why he did not steal just a salt shakers worth of that exotic material on that planet that can only be visited...was it once every 26 years?

Btw, I stopped around 400's I think.

As an author, i can tell a story's trajectory, and all I could forsee was disappointment

On that note, I also hate Exlor.

That bastard has really good writing skills, which is exactly why everytime think of how different and awesome this book would be if he simply increased Ves' IQ by just 3%! I get extremely annoyed.

But NOO, he JUST HAD TO set 10,000 CHAPTERS as the end goal, and wow, what a horrible job he's doing.

If you scrubbed filler and useless information, half of this book would vanish.

If you then scrubbed Redundant words, maybe you'll have 1k remaining?

THE MECH TOUCH he call it.

You'd expect the Mc to ascend to become an Absolute Mech Lord or something where he becomes a living version of the AllSpark...but better!

Not only can he grant life to all pieces of technology, he can remotely control minerals to create something akin to autobots.

It would be glorious!

He would wage war against maybe some Absolute summoner before creating a dimension for all Mechanic life.

Or maybe something lower, he became the disciple of the Polymath, cause that would be dope, and inheriteds all her skills in just ten years! Shocking the universe

From then on, he becomes an hegemony of his own right, where this Bitch FMC would only dream of marrying him.

That would've been a good place to now start laying down world building and politics as we get a view of the interstellar age from the top.

This is an example of what COULD'VE BEEN!

But NO, you just had to make the MC the most depressing asshole I've ever seen.

We're supposed to root for MC's, I hope Ves just dies and rids the Universe of this disgusting existence.

Fu#king waste of space.

Of all people to give a system, they gave f#cking Ves.

I say it again.

Exlor, I hate you for laying down blocks for greatness only to fill it with trash.

At the same time, I also thank you for showing me just how wrong a book can do.

I feel better now.
