I'll keep this short, I mean the manga is less than 50 pages, what's the point of a in-depth analysis?

Um I'm writing this review cause I dun really agree with the other 2 reviewers b4 me. One thing I noticed right from the beginning is how impossible and unrealistic this series is. Come on, what's the deal with deciding lifespan? And the mastering of abilities of some skills could take up to a few decades, what's the meaning of learning it in one go?

Story:6
Well, kinda unique, says something about "the human condition", one of which I believe is something like thirst for power or smth (the ability to excel). And it progressed similarly to some people who win lottery one day and go crazy ...
