Thanks for the comment and feedback, I will address each item below:

I like games where you have to learn and accomplish things without hand holding, so the beginning can definitely be confusing, but as you figure things out and discover new locations, it gives you a bigger sense of excitement and pride rather than everything just being shown in a "tutorial island" type of scenario.
So the Health changes to Chin when boxing, since boxing is a separate form of combat, so the numbers are different. The reason for this is that boxing uses different calculations for hits. After boxing, you will see "Chin" change back to your normal "Health" label and the number will revert. This is intended, so no bug!
The city has a lot that you haven't found. There is also a gangland filled with enemies, shops, gyms, and real estate for you to purchase. The city is packed, I promise

Let me know if you have any questions. Game on!

Can you guys add more stuff into deep web store
I think it is a OP system since credit cards can be easily collected but too few stuffs to buy in beginning
Got spike knuckle for 100 but costs 500$ or 1000$ something in the store

So there are multiple ways and paths that can be taken. You're doing CC Skimming early, which is a smart path that I like to take as well. However, if you spent that time stealing and pawning, or pick pocketing, or boxing, or several other paths, you could have earned the money needed instead of the credit cards. Both are viable paths, and it may seem OP but that is because you focused energy on that path. Skimming is powerful, and you can definitely get good weapons that way, so skim away! Functioning as intended :) You won't think credit cards are too easy when you start needing to buy fertilizer and other ingredients, just wait haha. The web stores are balanced, there are many important things there that will become relevant later.

Keep me posted, thanks for playing! I am happy to answer any other questions you may have.

PS - Part of the reason I added powerful weapons to the dark web is to encourage players to skim early. Skimming is a semi-passive skill since it produces over time, and if not started at a decent time, can drag you down late game.

Rob and shoplifting are very cool but not pickpocketing 'cause there is low chance that you can pickpocket someone and the level needed for higher class is also high
Process is kinda slow or perhaps I haven't found any way for quicker pickpocket yet

and also there is 2 ATM I found near the river that can be use for quite long time than others in the city

P/s: It kinda funny when after 2 hours of gameplay that I found I can jump

All ATMs have equal chances, it is entirely based off of your level. All natural RND variance :) Also yes! Jumping doesn't serve much of a purpose but there are a few low objects you can jump, like in the dirty parking lot in the gangland, there are some pipes that can be jumped. Otherwise it's just for fun ;)

You can inspect the person's level before attempting to pickpocket them. Then, you need to follow them and continue stealing from them. The closer you are to the minimum level for that person, the harder it is to pickpocket. Then, it gets exponentially easier. For example, if you are level 1 and the person is lvl 1, then you chance of succeeding may be 5%. If you are level 2 and they are 1, it may be 15%, if you are level 5, maybe 50%. It gets easier and easier. So if you turn level 10, you may not want to rush to a level 10 person just yet. Level up a bit first. I don't call it grindy for nothing! It's a grind, especially at the early levels. Push through!
