THIS!!! things would become SO MUCH EASIER if he just USED HIS POWER FOR ONCE???? like why would he let so many humans die because he didn’t want to steal gifts anymore??
its like the author had an idea on what story to tell but he reincarnated as someone else who wanted the protag to NOT BE THE PROTAG and instead just be the “brains” (EXTREMELY USEFUL POWER but suddenly he just wants to use his brains even tho everyone will have an extremely high chance of DYING)

The mc really is so fickle... If you got talent to steal talent commit to it....i like him more when he so crazy in stealing others talent but later on did not steal any of it...like whattt?? Whyy?? At least show it the second time of it and then change his character by make him feel regretful or something
