## My Thoughts on Picking Up Attributes From Today Alright, let's dive into "Picking Up Attributes From Today." This web novel is definitely a ride, and whether you enjoy the rollercoaster depends heavily on what you're looking for. I went in with relatively low expectations, and I think that helped me appreciate it for what it is: a fast-paced, often absurd, power fantasy with a comedic bent. ### First Impressions My initial impression was a mix of intrigue and bewilderment. The premise is straightforward: the MC can pick up attributes, skills, and, well, just about anything lying around. It's a blatant cheat, and the novel doesn't shy away from that. Some might find the ease with which the MC gains power off-putting, but I found it entertaining, especially early on. ### What Works Well The pacing is undeniably one of the novel's strengths. If you're looking for a story where the MC grinds for years to achieve minimal progress, this isn't it. Meng Lei levels up at breakneck speed, and that can be quite satisfying if you're in the mood for it. The comedic elements are also a major draw. The novel often feels like a parody of the xianxia genre, and the author seems to be in on the joke. I found myself chuckling at the MC's shamelessness and his often-ridiculous schemes. There is an entertaining world backstory, and Meng Lei is a ruthless MC, which is always a fun addition. ### Areas of Concern However, the rapid pace and comedic focus come at a cost. The world-building feels underdeveloped, and the side characters are largely forgettable. I also felt that the plot became repetitive after a while, with the MC engaging in a series of slaughters to gain more power. The ending also felt rushed and confusing. I felt like the author just wanted to wrap things up quickly. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out that the MC's character takes a turn for the worse later in the story, becoming the very thing he initially hated. It's also been noted that the ending involves the MC becoming a god-like figure in the universe, which might feel unearned given the novel's relatively lighthearted tone. ### Final Verdict "Picking Up Attributes From Today" is a flawed but ultimately entertaining novel. It's not a masterpiece, and it's not going to win any awards for its intricate plot or deep character development. However, if you're looking for a fast-paced, comedic power fantasy that doesn't take itself too seriously, you might find yourself enjoying this one. Just be prepared for a rushed ending and a plot that can become repetitive at times. I'd recommend it as a fun, quick read when you're looking to kill some time.
