大医凌然 is a decent binge read with a unique premise centered around medical drama.
Ranked #1 in Qidian's original webnovel series for quite awhile now.
Downgrading from 4 stars to 3. It's just really boring with MC constantly leveling up in different situations with no character growth in himself or anyone around him. Worth the time only if you don't have better novels lined up.
Suffers from a very robotic/flawed main character. One-dimensional side characters. PREMISE
Medical school intern and all-round ikemen Ling Ran unexpectedly gains a system that boosts his medical skills through the completion of various missions. We follow Ling Ran as he aims to become the best doctor in the world.
Yup, it's that straight forward. It's a slice-of-life novel after all.
CHARACTERS
This is the biggest flaw of the novel. All characters are one-dimensional with very little depth, including MC. Even for a slice-of-life novel it's pretty bare. MC Ling Ran is an ikemen (good looking guy) that causes all women to fawn over him (that's the running joke). He becomes incredibly OP within just a month of acquiring the system, which makes it pretty boring.
Unfortunately MC is written as a very robotic OCD character with a single-minded pursuit to develop his skills while having strong anti-social behavior, i.e. a sociopath. That's a VERY ODD/DISAPPOINTING personality to have as a doctor. It's one thing to be emotionally detached as a doctor, it's another thing when the author deliberates writes that patients are just commodities (patients "spawn" just like a game), and Ling Ran is there to "harvest" them. WTF. We are forced to seriously question the underlying motives of the MC for being a great doctor, whether it's for his own fame/glory/personal enjoyment. Because you certainly don't sense him having any empathy for patients. Curing/saving them is just part of the process for the MC to acquire better skills.
Author tries to "fix" this by stating that MC has no attachment to the riches that come from performing surgery. He even has the MC state that "it doesn't matter what kind of doctor you are... there's only a successful doctor and an unsuccessful one". WTF. That's still completely missing the point.
His dad is greedy but deeply loves his wife.
His mom is a capable but quirky house-wife.
All females of similar age to the MC fall head-over-heels for him.
All male co-workers are either incompetent, ugly, jelly, or some combination thereof. COMMENTS / SIDE NOTES
(1) Kudos on the medical depth, detail of hospital systems.
Not sure how accurate it is, but the heavy medical jargon is impressive, and a quick Google search does show that the illnesses/human anatomy/surgical techniques are quite legit. The medical injuries and situations are quite realistic.
I've been in the US pharmaceutical/healthcare industry for a few years before, so it does pass the smell-test. (2) Jokes are amusing, but repetitive after awhile.
It's always a stereotype of the various characters.
Multiple jokes about women fawning over the MC, just in different situations.
Multiple jokes about his parents either being greedy/quirky or both.
MC does multiple surgeries a day, so everyone sees him as him being a great and caring doctor. But MC is just doing it to complete his mission quota and score more rewards.
The result is the same, the intention is completely different. (4) Author has a pretty careless and irreverent attitude in writing medical drama and the associated emotions.
Healthcare is a pretty sensitive issue. Sure there are dumb injuries we can all laugh at.
Balls going into the wrong places, scrotum damage, etc
- Patient deaths or anxiety over their disabilities are handled in a very cavalier manner.
- Patients who are angry/concerned with possibility future disability are labeled as ignorant/overreactive. Everyone who questioned MC's abilities MUST be s*upid, because surely they are at fault for not being able to mind-read the aloof MC when he gives little or shitty explanations.
Am being sarcastic here... doctor/patient communication is one of the most basic things, not just when a patient dies.
- Patients' families who show up angry are labeled as unreasonable.
- Doctors who do emergency outpatient treatment are certain to get sued.
- Doctors are always assumed to be maneuvering to rise up the ranks and don't care about the Hippocratic oath. Yes all this does happen occasionally in China, yes there are plenty of hospital politics, but for it to be standard in this novel is inappropriate and somewhat distasteful.
I don't think this is a cultural difference because I've been to hospitals in China. Just seems like this is the author's incredibly cynical perception of Chinese healthcare. (5) Besides Qidian (webnovel. com), I think Wuxiaworld is translating it too.
MC is already doing surgeries and he's still an intern! Wonder when can he get a job.
