Any Novels Like Getting Stronger by Grinding Proficiency?
Seriously, don't recommend weird stuff like Village Life or I Really Want to Be Number One. I only want stories with a System, stat panels, training proficiency that gives stat points, and stat allocation. Please don't suggest anything else. It's so cringey.
Looking for Proficiency-Based Novels
Help! Help!
I'm in a reading slump. I used to avoid books that weren't finished, then I made myself avoid anything under six or seven hundred chapters. Now I've lowered my standards so much that I'll even read books with more than fifty chapters. Any great urban novels to recommend, everyone?

The wind and snow have weighed me down for two or three years. I met up with classmates who wouldn't pay. I have to watch bad movies on repeat, but I have to record good ones slowly. I look in the mirror and think I'm really handsome. I think for three seconds and then sell. There's no other way out, but I met two virgins in a group purchase.
It's a good read, well-written, and the early and mid-game sections are generally logical, well-supported, and well-structured. The early game is frustrating, but the mid-game is much better. The main storyline is that the protagonist's predecessor committed suicide after being approached by a woman from the Su family.
This is a great book. The logic is very rigorous, the protagonist's handling of situations and his thoughts are very realistic, and the plot is unique. Unlike other light novels where the ending is predictable, this one has many twists and turns. The pacing is also excellent, making it a very enjoyable read. I stayed up late into the night to read the latest chapter.
It's quite good. The rigorous logic makes the plot and characters feel natural and flexible. There's no awkwardness from forced pretense, no dark side from hiding things when things happen, and no artsy writing for the sake of writing. It's a rare slow-paced system novel that you can actually read.
It's a fairly average book. First of all, the character's strength doesn't have a complete and systematic upgrade; the progression is completely chaotic and rather depressing. The later stages, with the blood transfusion upgrade, become somewhat interesting, but it's still constrained by the cultivation technique.
This is a masterpiece brimming with the spirit of the martial arts world. Beneath the clash of swords lies tender romance, and amidst the swift justice and vengeance, chivalry and tenderness shine through. The moves are sharp and swift, the entanglements of love and hate are gripping, offering both the carefree spirit of wandering the world with a sword and the poignant sorrow of being caught in…
During this reading slump, it was a rare treat to find a book I could actually read. It was just a bit short, but I stayed up all night to finish it. I want to give the author some support; the logic was sound, the plot had its ups and downs, and it was very enjoyable to read.
The pacing is good, and it's not mindless. Some flaws are the money issues and the excessive depiction of the imbalance of power and strength. Perhaps the protagonist hasn't fully grasped the essence of the story. Hopefully, it will have a single female lead. Good luck! 👏
The score is too low; I'd rate it 8.8 Or higher in my opinion. It's a slow-burn story with many characters but not a jumbled bunch, and a lot of backstory elements, but the early development is limited, hence the slow pace. It's very logical, and most importantly, the story is interesting. The initial restraint makes the reader impatient, but also makes them eager to see the ending.
Overall, I'd give it a 9 out of 10 so far, which is already very good for Tomato (the author). The writing is delicate, the plot is clear, and there's no forgetting of earlier foreshadowing. The characters' psychology is very well portrayed, and the progression of their cultivation levels is quite fast.
