Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.During one of our arguments, my younger brother taunted me, claiming that I only knew how to depend on guys to get me through MMOs. In a fit of anger, I was spurred on by his words and decided to defeat my brother without depending on anyone else. By some coincidence, a new game called “Second Life” was about to go on the market and thus I started from scratch as a player. What’s more, I was the first person ever to log onto the game. The beautiful GM told me that I could have one wish granted… Humph! I. Want. To. Become. A. Guy!
Shit, I accidentally became too super-ultra-incredibly handsome, now there’s a beautiful GM with designs on my virtue, waaaaah…!
… OH MY GOD! A girl wants to make me her trophy husband!
Heavens, what a hottie… Wait, what? He’s actually GAY and he’s hitting on me?! Go to hell! When I’m a girl you’re not interested, so why the hell do you want me now?
With an incredibly hilarious main character, incredibly bizarre companions, and an incredible journey of growing up and self-discovery, how will things pan out? Even God is playing a guessing game…

I've finished reading this and I'm disappointed, it was really quiet amazing in the beginning but then weird and unbelievable plot keep popping in the corner which IMO ruins the flow of the story.
Stats are basically just hinted at (not being strong enough to hurt a boss and the likes) after the first chapters, skills pop up everywhere at the start and are mostly just names for attacks later on, and so on. The novel itself has two main parts, with the first 4 volumes being a fairly light and entertaining adventure in the other world.
Volume 5 serves as a transition, turning into a more serious mode.
Volumes 6 to 8 being the "serious" story, going as far as going for a philosophical essay about what it means to be human (having read Herbert's series "Destination: void" and the following books, it feels a bit light, but that's me having too high expectations for a light novel). I enjoyed the first volumes a whole lot, decent comedy, interesting action scenes, and odd situations everywhere.
But after the switch, it made me feel like I was reading a completely different novel, and the plot for that part, while not bad in itself, doesn't really go well with the tone of the previous volumes. If both were released as separate stories, I would probably have enjoyed it a lot more than I did, but the dissonance takes me off the story completely. The characters are all mostly interesting, and they don't feel as trope-y as usual (probably because there are not that many translated chinese novels that are not either old chinese dynasties or xianxia in their settings).
For better or worse, it also tries to portray a wide palette of characters (including a mostly gay?), and manages to not make it too forced. If you want a light story with interesting characters, read the first 4 volumes, it's really worth a shot, and if you feel that you are up for the change of tone, go ahead with the rest.
I sound hyper critical, but my "low" score is mostly because of that change of tone, the writing, characters and story (or stories) really make a good read.

- Romance: The romance is more of a subplot, which I actually really liked, especially with so much else going on in the plot. They have their moments and it's cute enough even if we do have to suffer a love triangle
There's a certain shared experience I think, of catching up on the 1/2 Prince manga circa 2010 and going "now what?", only to find out there's a novel serialization and falling down the WN/LN rabbit hole. While it's definitely aged since then, I'd say the fun hijinks and memorable characters make it still worth a try.I fell in love with the manga adaptation first. Then became way too impatient and chased after the chapters month by month until it was completed. Half Prince was my first Chinese novel (without me even realizing lol... but like how? idk), no regrets. It made me even happier that this was a novel by a Taiwanese author. :") Anyway, from the quirky world of Second Life to Prince's endless s*upidly dorky and bloody antics to illogical physics defying events and the emotional moments that sneak up on you and attack you with onions... I'm just gonna wrap this up by saying: "It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life) " This song pretty much sums up how Xiao Lan (the mc) lives her life. Long live, Prince! P.S. I can never listen to this song without being reminded of Half Prince.
Towards the end of the novel, the plot got more and more ridiculous with AI and technology that it broke my immersion.
