I think the main guy in this manhua is more hard working than talented. The manhua several times expresses how his sister is the talented one, but he never gives up. It's when he finds the guide he has now that he learns how to progress quicker even if he isn't particularly talented in summoning power. Now that he has trained with more efficient methods, he is this strong. I agree he should get his chance in the spotlight though, it's annoying how people keep trashing him from envy because he ended being a dark horse.
At the start it was said that being at a certain level would make a person a genius, respected by all. As soon as he reached that, stronger people showed up and he was once again treated as trash. This repeated over and over again. Now he's at the point where, if he were at the start of the story, he'd be the most powerful person the people he knew had ever known. But of course...where he is now, everyone around him is of equal or greater strength. So he was, is, and will be, a trash person in other people's eyes wherever he goes.
I get why this is happening. But moving the goalpost whenever the MC gets a power boost is getting annoying. Just...for the love of god...let the MC have his moment of being powerful for once. Even if it's only in a single city. Show that he's actually grown stronger. Don't just surround him with people that think he's trash no matter how strong he gets...
