Incredible changes - any good?

I was looking for another long read, and decided to give it a try. But first five chapters are total atrocity - MC is a drooling imbecile with 4 years old psyche, people talk like they were citing a thesaurus... Still, it is almost 10 MB of text and has a rating of 7+.
And insight into tags? They seem to be somewhat vague for such big story.

I'm surprised it hasn't been taken down.

It's tagged much sex, but the description describes the MC as an eighth grader, which in the US, unless he's been held back a grade or two would make him 12 or 13.

Well, no. Unfortunately I can't honestly really recommend it, although it has it's rare good moments. Approach with caution and on your own risk.

I have to confess I did read quite a bit of it, I think it had 150~160 chapters when I reached the temporary end (and it probably could benefit from book break about there somewhere, imho), but while it remains bookmarked, I don't think I would continue it anytime soon, if ever.

Then the main character who remains absolute tool with effectively zero ambition and no discernible genuinely own long term goals -- as opposed to mission bestowed upon him by his god-like "friends", despite being effectively a minor god himself -- I would actually list as a strong point of interest, at least something different and think it's relatively well done at that. But can see how it may not align with some readers.

The writing gets slightly better slowly (or maybe I just adapted to the style), but what killed me technically was the totally random paragraph breaks. Yes, you read it right, it's plagued by paragraph breaks in absolutely random places, literally in the middle of the sentence, to the point it feels like strange technical glitch because no human could render text that way, one might think.

Speaking tags, it may certainly squick out many over a range of issues. The age being main of those, yes. Well, I just pretended it happens in a world where there's 14 or so months in a year -- not even a stretch giving everything else that's going on --, alternatively, mechanically adding a two to most listed ages might make sense. The main character does pay some lip service to the rules with recurring claims he wouldn't knowingly and willingly have vaginal sex with under fourteen persons, but has even to withstand quite a bit of pressure at that as his world at large certainly doesn't have such restrictions in practice. It could be claimed it's a problem that explored rather than fetishizing, but that's slippery.

There's also one intense violent episode quite early on, and generally it's unhinged and unapologetic.

It's a bit chaotic (presumably intentionally though) and mostly failed to hit directly some rather specific fetishes I hoped for and rather plainly catered to some others I not care for (like recurring episodes where he's "coerced" to attempt impregnating at once 30+ girls and women owned by a criminal royal family), but there was still just enough for me to keep reading while it lasted, despite all its problems. (I especially enjoyed the crazy blind clinic episodes, for example.)

The site rules don't allow oral or anal sex in those circumstances either. And if the description is to be believed, the MC is himself a person under fourteen.

For a bit of devil's advocating, he ages up quickly from that early starting point and the bulk of the story has him already a bit older (and grows in an epic covering years), so the short description is misleading for anything but the very first few chapters, if even that (I may not remember details I didn't paid much attention to, but the story starts with him waking from prolonged coma and I think the description actually address situation before that).

But yes, I don't think it's old enough to be covered by grandfathering from before that rule took effect, and if so it's almost certainly is breaking it. ("Almost" only for allowing some questionable space for a discussion where borders on exploration of real world problems in ridiculously exaggerated unrealistic setting may be, and how repressed memories should be handled and many such slippery slope issues it has in abundance.)

That sort of discussion would actually be okay, as long as the actual sex with under 14s is not "on screen/stage" and graphic descriptions are not provided.

But first five chapters are total atrocity

It doesn't get any better.

I tried, and quit reading it a LONG time ago.

I guess, I've got enough response to make my opinion. Thank you, people.

Here on SOL, size matters. That story has 261 chapters which pretty much automatically pushes its score up. Working on that basis, a score of 7.37 is pretty low and means that - while not a complete turkey - it's not going to be nominated for the Nobel Prize for Cliterature any time soon.
