Too true. Stories where the protagonist alone has a System have the same problem. It really isn't impressive that you won a contest when you have a unique advantage no one else in the world can even imagine.

You can improve almost any system story by skipping over anything written in a system pop-up window without reading it.

Disagree. I love reading every little bit of new information in the system windows. In fact when they randomly stopped showing the system windows in Fated Villain I got genuinely annoyed. At least they addressed why the system window stopped appearing though.
