the extraction mechanic is broken but i still binge read it
honestly couldn't stop thinking about how unfair that infinite extraction ability is, like the moment Qin Feng started pulling stats off those level 1 wolves or whatever they were, I knew the balance was totally cooked. It's one of those stories where you just have to turn your brain off and enjoy the power trip, because seeing him climb the leaderboard while the Dragon Country and Lighthouse folks are scrambling is actually pretty satisfying. I will say though, the part where he extracts the soul essence from that first boss felt a bit like it skipped a few steps, I think he was supposed to be struggling more but he just sort of touched it and became a god instantly. A bit of a drag that the side characters feel like cardboard cutouts sometimes, they just stand around being shocked at his SSS-rank luck, which gets old after the tenth time someone gasps at a notification screen. Still, if you like watching a guy basically cheat his way through a death game while everyone else is playing on hard mode, it hits the spot, even if the writing gets a little repetitive during the mid-tier grinding sessions.
