## My Thoughts on Invincible by Picking Attributes "Invincible by Picking Attributes" is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. It's a novel that starts with a lot of promise, but whether it delivers on that promise seems to depend entirely on your personal preferences. I went into this with relatively low expectations, and I came out feeling…well, conflicted. ### First Impressions Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A protagonist with modern knowledge in ancient China, coupled with a cheat system allowing him to pick up attributes? That's a recipe for some potentially awesome kingdom-building and general OP-ness. The early chapters felt a little rough, though. I wasn't entirely sold on the MC's initial lack of ambition. It felt a little forced, like the author was trying too hard to make him relatable before unleashing his full potential. ### What Works Well The action is definitely a strong point. The protagonist's rise to power, especially in the earlier arcs focused on war and kingdom building, is pretty engaging. It's satisfying to see him utilize his modern knowledge and system to climb the ranks. Also, while the romance isn't the main focus, I appreciate that the author attempts to integrate the harem aspect in a way that's somewhat consistent with the historical setting, at least initially. I also think the initial concept of picking up attributes is pretty cool. ### Areas of Concern The biggest issue I see is the shift in the story's direction. It seems like the author struggled to maintain the initial momentum and unique elements. The transition into a more generic cultivation world, with less emphasis on the attribute-picking and more on straight-up killing, is a bit jarring. It feels like the story loses its identity and becomes just another xuanhuan novel. Also, the harem aspect seems to fade into the background later on. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, here's where I have to address some potential spoilers. Apparently, the story eventually veers into "Journey to the West" territory, which seems to completely alter the established world and characters. Also, the MC's wives and children are essentially forgotten as the story progresses, which is disappointing if you were invested in those relationships. ### Final Verdict "Invincible by Picking Attributes" is a decent read, but it's not without its flaws. If you're looking for a unique blend of historical setting, kingdom building, and cheat system, you might enjoy the first half of the novel. However, be prepared for a significant shift in tone and direction later on. Whether that shift is a positive or negative depends entirely on your tolerance for generic cultivation tropes. I'd say give it a try, but don't be afraid to drop it if it starts to lose its appeal. It's not a masterpiece, but it's not terrible either – just…inconsistent.
