One thing I want to point out to begin with is that despite the Naruto tag, this is most definitely not a Naruto fiction. Anyways with that out of the way let's get on with the actual review. Writing quality is top-notch, no complaints here on that aspect. Where the story really suffers is the lack of world-building and character design. 7-8 chapters in and I know basically nothing about the world or even the MC's new family beyond that he has a father, mother, and sister and they have a shinobi background. They both need some major fleshing out. I was also kinda disappointed when the shop was added. I just generally dislike system shops, since it discourages the MC to go out and search for the items and materials they want and instead just buy them and have them pop in out of nowhere.
