Is it worth it to build an AliExpress MTB?

The reviewer mentions the BOLANY crank set as part of their AliExpress bike build. They describe it as an alloy crank set that is nothing special but was super cheap at around €25. It is noted to be pretty heavy but functional for their 12-speed drivetrain setup. The reviewer combined it with other components like a ZTO shifter and derailleur, and a Sunshine cassette.
