If I had to compare, this novel is like an underrated mom n pops chinese restaurant with the best nutritious food you've ever tasted, unlike the popular fast food 99% of the novels here are. Sure, it doesn't give those dopamine hits like those OP broken power progression we are addicted to reading over here, but it has its own charm. I'm not eloquent like Author-sama over here, but if I had to describe it, it's made to aid the story, rather than be the focus of the story itself.
The story, especially at the start, may not be instantly addictive, but it grows on you and becomes better very quick, just like LOTM. I hope the author revamps the starting chapters down the line and brings it on par with the quality of the latest chapters. This is the kind of story that would linger in my mind for a long time after reading, that's how good and deep this underrated gem is. In my biased opinion, it compares to the quality level of SS and easily surpasses many top novels here (that I don't know how they are top in the first place, especially there being so many hidden gems like this one). The writing quality and grammar is ofc flawless for me to say this.
At the time of writing, there are only 38 chapters in the novel, so it's in early stages right now. I'm sure that if the same quality and upload schedule persist, we will see this novel on the charts. As for other things, the characters and worldbuilding are, as mentioned before, top-quality like top novels.
Alright, I've done enough glazing. Tl;dr- It's amazing, you'll miss out if you don't read. It's not a junk food novel, you'll need to stick a bit for it to charm you. You won't regret it.
P.S. I read all the author notes, you cooking hard fr. And I don't like commenting, so here's a long review instead :)
