Tad doesn't have any memory before waking up on the beach, apparently the sole survivor of a shipwreck. All he has from his past is a necklace with a symbol no one recognizes.
After growing up in the orphanage, he takes a job managing inventory for a merchant catering to adventurers. He knows he's a bit off, the world just smells different to him.
When he's confronted by a group of adventurers with more power than ethics, he learns that it's been magic he is smelling all along. As the confrontation builds he learns that he can eat that same magic, but it isn't enough to keep him from being taken.
Waking up in a dungeon, he quickly learns they are more than monster filled pits. They are tools of the Great System and just maybe doorways through the multiverse.
Now he must struggle to prove his worth, grow in power, and master his strange ability, all complicated by the fact that the enchantments on his gear might just be alive.

* some scenes, both fighting and enchanting, dragged on too long (too much description)
* too much acting from the male actor e.g. acting out MC's sufferring like he's crying sounds very cringy, and the acting for the old master made him sound robotic
ok

Our main characters for 2/3 of the book are a mix of stupid/evil thugs and a selfish/evil leader who kidnap the innocent/native MC who grows to be the usual native OP MC. Taking down foes that we have to trust are so much more powerful because of the stated difference in level and stats.
As many other stories that lean into the math side of gamelit, it starts to break down if you think too hard. You get 6-12 stats per level with the average being 8 (based on class) but an under 80 level character must as a stat over 600! guesses our hero. But doing the math says the rest of his stats must be garbage compared to our heroes at that point in the story. No sign of that of course.
There is also a tournament arc. I don’t like tournament arcs as they tend to exist just to be a way to force in a large number of fights without that challenge of giving reasons for it. So fights just because happen.
Fights they need to win but because of stupid/evil alignment the literal bag of magical gear they aren’t using isn’t opened up and given to the ‘underpowered’ MC.
If the tropes I mentioned don’t bother you then this is on the better side of the scale.
Not my cup of tea, but not ‘bad’
