I got some motivation to do a slot system, but I have a few doubts and I would be very grateful if someone could answer these

how complicated can this sytem be? is it something I should get into?
how can I read the progress on the slot?
is deleting a slot possible?
what can be the limitations?
is doing this system worth it?
what could be the conditions which I would have to keep in mind while making this?
what could be the most difficult part of this?

This all seems like stuff you'll have to answer for yourself when designing your system. But to humour the set of queries:
- However complicated you want it to be
- Depends on your implementation. You'll probably need a variable or table to store progress in. Then read from that.
- Depends on your implementation. I'd probably do it table-based and set contents to nil.
- Depends on your implementation. Probably few things.
- Worth it for what? If you need it for something, then probably
- I don't know
- I don't know

well, my system will simply load a level when the current save slot is 1
and then there will be options to use / start a slot, do you think it would be possible to delete slots then?
I know os.remove(filename) exists but iirc it was removed in LunaLua (for obvious reasons) but not in Lua?

also by "worth it" I meant if it would be something that people would like to use
