That Time I Learned Every Skill Imaginable so I Could Forge Armor So Good It Broke the System: A System Optimization LitRPG
Minimal coverage. Maximum protection. Optimal performance.
When Mark Baker accidentally microwaves himself into a fantasy world, he brings only two things with a head for numbers and an unwillingness to accept “that’s just how it’s done.”
In a realm where magical protection means hauling around fifty pounds of clunky metal, Mark sees what no one else does, radical inefficiency. What if defense didn’t rely on material coverage at all? What if the real shield was magic itself, and the armor was just getting in the way?
Combining mathematical optimization, crafting theory, and advanced enchanting, Mark systematically dismantles centuries of magical convention to create something armor that prioritizes function over form, efficiency over tradition, and results over appearances.
The fact that his final design looks like magical lingerie? Just an unfortunate side effect of perfect enchantment geometry.
That Time I Learned Every Skill Imaginable So I Could Forge Armor So Good It Broke The System is a crafting and optimization adventure about one man's methodical journey from bewildered outsider to magical innovator. It’s about asking the right questions, solving problems no one else sees, and proving that sometimes the most powerful ideas start What if there’s a better way?

fantastic story
Kenny strikes again and with another fantastic story from another world! I absolutely love all these recent releases of isekai stories with elaborate magic, weapons and armor. Some of the technical jargon can throw you off at times but it just makes an absolutely fictional tale seem more real in my opinion. Most definitely recommend.

I really liked the first half of the book, but the second half was much weaker. The MC's progress and increased levels felt meaningless, and the sexualization of the "pasties" was so overdone that it took away from the story. It wasn't just an aspect of the armor, it became the main focus of the whole book.
The writing was high quality, though, and I think the author has a lot of potential. I'm going to try some of their other books next.

Awesome!
Wonderful book! It has a lot of Slice of Life which I found added to the story immensely. It mixed in some good humor - and completely believable thought exercises for the main character to go down. I loved the idea of bikini armor being a real thing for actual practical reasons.
Hoping the author continues the series!

Very fun
This was one of the most fun books I've read in a long time. It gets dangerously close to being silly at times, but it never takes the final leap. Do yourself a favor and give this book a chance.
Highly recommended.

Mathematical terminology paired with humor results in a fantastic good time. So many books like this focus on the combat aspect of becoming the strongest, but this one followed the academic. Super enjoyable read!

Adequate
This story is a long joke about the practical reason for inventing bikini armor. I found it to be less than expected, and less than it could be, but sufficient to read during a release drought.

Did not get very far. Same phrases used over and over again as if for the first time suggest either the author does not proofread his work or it’s written by AI.

Excellent and innovative.
A very unique magic system with melding math and magic. I enjoyed the story and writing. I recommend it to readers of sci-fi and fantasy books.
