Honestly It's difficult to make a review out of the fifth of the book we've actually read. Well, whatever here it goes. The book's calles "Father of constructs" but rather it should've called "Local Retard Wins the Lotery" instead.
PR: An old man named Harley becomes a retard after a lifetime of rpglit SMOG equivalent, poverty and malnutrition, the locals seem to have some sort of moral code despite being all the brink of starvation in a dystopy-like landscape and take pity on Harley, keeping him around but not trusting him with the important stuff. Before we can even ask ourselves if many of the SMOG affected local street urchins became retards we're confronted with the usual Daredavil trope where Harley develops a superpower to compensate for his mental shortcomings, and just as he's nearing the end of his life due some lung disease this super-intuition points him towards the sealed "world boss", who's conveniently left at just 1 HP and has a cockroach shape, all to make it easy for Harvy to kill. Once he does so, which was no mistery since it was on the title, he earns 1,000,000 dollars, eh, experience points. Basically, he won the LitRPG lotery. I though that the useless, dimwitted Janitor earning such amount at the expense of the whole world would earn him enemies and that Harvy would be forced into hiding, but the opposite happened. People he didn't even know came for the explicit purpose of helping him become more powerful, and the boons don't even end there, as since he's the first person that take a class he can select a Legenday one right off the bat, paying for it with his fall-from-the-sky experience. That's as far as we got. To be honest it's difficult to be harsh with the one-dimesional characters and the less than consistent plot, the lack of drive, or even the so called "fortunete" events that keep falling on MCs lap, since the whole book seem to have been written by a elementary school teacher that wanted to teach her students about being sympathetic with the less-gifted in a Disney-fashioned fairytale. (tentative) 2.5/10
