I'll say first of all that I'm having a lot of fun not despite it being a corny shounen but because it is. I mean that unironically. The story opening with a flashback to the angry protagonist's tragic backstory, cutting to him performing an extraordinary feat? Coming into contact with a mysterious organization that can help him achieve his goals? Them recruiting him after finding mysterious potential? PEAK.
Thing is... yeah, it's very hard to read because of poor grammar. English isn't my first language, either. It's not about that. It's about the constant mis of past and present tense, the complete disregard for punctuation, no scene breaks, and the numerous instances where multiple people talk in the same paragraph or when dialogue is said in a vacuum where I don't know who said what because I barely know who they are, because I can barely follow the story with the crude way it's told. I say all of this because none of these are hard fixes. I'm not calling you out on irregular syntax or spelling mistakes (both of which I'm pretty sure I commit, especially the first one). Punctuation is the same across many languages, including yours and mine. Studying the way dialogue is formatted isn't hard, or how to do scene breaks. If not by reading, it's something you can easily look up. That alone would improve this story a lot. The substance is there, but the package makes it unfortunately hard to follow.
