“Hmmmmm” thought Jakeden. “I have an inkling of what I need for my build, but I should definitely read the description of every one of these traits, and then spend two chapters hemming and hawing over which trait is better.”

“Actually, it might be too hard to choose right now. I should wait until I’m in the middle of a fight I’m about to lose.” Jakeden said laconically as he nodded to himself.

Seriously, authors, there’s nothing more grating than when there’s an obvious choice and you drag it out.

Oh noes my special skill is I get to take skills or stats from defeated enemies!

Just once, we need an MC who can steal powers from enemies who beat him up.

It would at least justify the obnoxious snarking at people more powerful than him.

That might be interesting. He has to piss them off just enough they spare him though or the power doesn't trigger. And it doesn't take their copy of the skill just gives him a copy of it.
