Yeah, I recently read one where the MC was a regressor so had only ever lived in one historical fantasy setting and she got a system. That's where I draw the line
Cause it's one thing for reincarnators who are familiar with digital interfaces to get a system, it's completely different for someone for whom a carriage is the pinnacle of travel
The system is intuitive when you have grown up with and are familiar with digital interfaces but it is utterly foreign and confusing if you haven't. Like old people don't struggle with modern technology because they're old, but because it is so fundamentally different from the technology they grew up with as to be alien. Yet you are seriously trying to tell me that somebody got whom books are the main source of information is going to intuitively know how to use a glorified gaming system???
There are better ways of giving characters access to information they shouldn't have which aren't grounded in a digital interfaces, such as psychometric abilities, abilities to see qi, having a patron god (although that is now so synonymous with constellations as to feel modern), having a spy network, literally any method that is grounded in the technology and mysticism of the world

Problem is these bl versions are not made well, as compared to "system" trope shounens like ORV or Solo Levelling or heck... even SSS Suicide Hunter etc etc.
The system can be implemented well, if it isn't used as a plot device every 2 seconds. If they stop destroying the pacing of the story. If they stop trying to shove to force shove the "its a bl remember? Remember??", every 2 seconds.
I feel like a lot of manhwas are doing the ‘system’ trope and I’m kind of over it? Like don’t get me wrong, it is good, unique and entertaining but the originality that it first had is getting tiresome for me. Idk I want something different and not just the random system screen popups
