I have a mixed feeling about this manhwa. The highlight of this manhwa is the MC and the magic system. I will rate these 2 elements 9 out of 10.
But the world building of this medieval society is among ridiculous. Same goes to the plot. The scene and the dialogue are not natural as well.
A butler of one of the most influential family in the kingdom seek out those among the commoners who know how to read to organize the library upon moving. This task is so important and your whole family will be executed if you tell people about it.... And everyone in ... this noble family is extremely discriminating this poor MC just because he's a commoner.
Ok, one of the noble son became friend with MC. Guess what, a commoner becoming a friend with a noble is a crime. A crime that is so unforgivable that the MC needs to be executed.. I am beyond speechless at this point and I have to drop.
I'd rate the world building absolutely 0. But it has its highlight. so I'd give it 4 out of 10 overall.

It's a very unique isekai where MC starts out to be very weak and get abandoned. He then quickly becomes OP by basically hacking the game with his luck, intelligence, and plot armor. In this isekai, everybody gains a starting skill when they get isekaied and get basically play a dungeon crawler game while MC on the other hand is playing a base building / crafting game and becomes OP. You can expect the MC will come and save the day with some surprising methods when his dungeon crawlers friends got in trouble.

Character: 8/10 The MC has a very good personality without being self-righteous.
Pacing: ... 8/10 The pacing is not bad. I haven't found myself to skip pages or chapters.
World Building: 7/10 In recent chapters (160 ish), the origin of the world is starting to reveal, which is pretty interesting as well.

I'm rating this 9 because it's doing everything right So far for what it is, an action fantasy "Shonen". So far there's only 40 chapters. There's not much to say about the plot and the world building. It's doing what it's supposed to do.
If you like this genre, you should enjoy this manhwa.
The art style is pretty, characters are not overly cute.
The pacing and structure is good.
What makes this stand out is that, unlike many protagonists in this genre, the protagonist in this story is stoic and taciturn, not overly righteous. He is not educated given his background, but he is smart and react ... to situations in a realistic way.
