written with the help of a translator, so I apologize if the text hurts the eyes.

I read this novel in its entirety in February 2023. time passes, everything changes, but my tender love for this novel remains unchanged. and that already says something about itself, right?
It really upsets me that people who haven't even read the Rose Factory arc are giving this novel such low ratings. Therefore, I decided to write this review so that potential fans of the novel will not be deceived by such superficial reviews.

STORY LINE
it's confusing and complicated. At first glance it may seem like a simple endless stream, but as you read, you realize that it is much more than that. and while the first two arcs focus on solving the case, later... more>> the narrative focus shifts to the plot and its mysteries. therefore, those who came specifically for copies... you may be disappointed, but you should not refuse the novel. instead, it can offer you a wonderful story that touches on important issues in society, as well as reflections on what love is. and, of course, written characters.

Spoiler

The rose factory arc is key to the development of the plot, as Tang Erda appears. I understand those who didn't like him in the beginning, but I will never understand those who hate him even after we are told about his story. his lover was killed by Bai 6, his world was destroyed by Bai 6, his mind was almost destroyed by Bai 6. and after that you continue to dislike him? what the f*ck. especially after Tang Erda realizes that our Bai Liu is not the same Bai 6.
s I already said, the emphasis is shifting. The following are my subjective thoughts.
in the first part we see the calculating Bai Liu. the way Bai 6 would like him to be, cool-headed and always thinking about solving the next case.
however, the second part is the embodiment of his experiences and mental anguish. Sensitive readers are able to understand that Bai Liu is in turmoil, he is trying to resist Bai 6's control and create his own destiny. This is, first of all, a story about how even the most insensitive person can find a soul and begin to love.
This is a story about the love of two monsters, whose feelings defeated evil.
copies began to reveal characters, whether old or new. and as for me, this is much better than a simple, exciting solution to the instance. Of course, this can be combined. but regardless, I think the focus on characters and social issues is much better. since Bai Liu himself was not in a state where he could decide everything perfectly, clearly and without hesitation. And for what? For Bai 6 to give him things that would only harm Bai Liu further?
Bai Liu is neither an omnipotent deity nor a cold-blooded monster. He is a man with his own feelings, even if he is not used to expressing them.
This is what the novel primarily tried to convey to us.

[collapse]

CHARACTERS
The characters are alive, with their own history and inner experiences. especially Zhao Muchi!!
Spoiler

The story of this character raises the important issue of s*xual violence, hatred of one's body. Zhao Muchi's instance is second in my top instances.

[collapse]
Of course, the other characters are just as good. their interactions with Bai Liu are wonderful.

BACKGROUND

without a doubt one of the most well-written worlds in its genre. Even the very first instance is very important, the meaning of which will be revealed towards the end.
so those who say that the first 2 arcs are just useless.. please rub your eyes and read the entire novel.
To understand the novel and all its pitfalls, one must judge not by the first arcs.

Spoiler

It makes me laugh that the game world is designed to trick Bai Liu, but in the end the readers themselves are hooked.
of course, this suggests that the author wrote everything so carefully that he easily manages to lead readers by the nose throughout the first part of the novel.

[collapse]

LOVE LINE
BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, FAVORITE! This is a slow romance. ML appears in the second part of the story, but, um.. if I say his name, then it will already be a spoiler, okay? everything is quite confusing there.
in short... this is a love story between two crazy people whose love defies the heavens. It sounds terrible, but their chemistry can only be understood by reading the novel. You understand what I'm hinting at? *wink wink*

CONCLUSION
The only drawback of the novel is that there was too little of it. It would have been much better if the ending had been written out in more detail, including other characters' endings. the ending is simply crumpled, which is why there are mixed feelings after reading it. but I don't think it's as critical as it could be. because the novel itself is wonderful, its advantages outweigh its disadvantages for me. oh, disadvantage. suitable for those who love a slow romance and interesting characters whose writing is not inferior to the main character. so feel free to read and do not blindly follow reviews. even mine. just try it and read on if you are interested. muah! <<less

All I have to say is that this is one of the best books I've ever read. Hands down, the MC is the type of person I've come to like repeatedly over my years of reading light novels: self-sufficient and selfish. He accepts these qualities about himself, and when in dangerous situations, he uses them to the best of his abilities, always giving it his all while having a plan nonetheless.

If you're okay with the romance taking a while to develop, then this book is also perfect for you. I'm... more>> the type of person who enjoys both fast and slow-paced romance, and even though the buildup takes a while in this novel, the plot is already so interesting without the romance that by the time you realize, 72 hours have gone by, and you haven't slept in days.

Please take the time to savor this novel, I really wish I could read it for the first time again. <<less

not bad. The MC is different enough to hold my interest but only to a point as it's yet another story with a penny-pinching, money-grubbing MC focused on making money (at least this one doesn't have debt and a sick family member). So far he's not an idiot, which is good, and the game system and world building are OK. Not much romance, but I wasn't expecting any at this point (usually IF novels seem to have it much later in the story).

there's already a lot of padding in this... more>> story and after the second copy the chapters take a steep jump from 27 (train) to 55 (orphanage) and then on to even longer. Some people will love all the detail and minutiae, and some will get impatient and find it drags. I found it dragged at times. gonna leave it at a 4 for now but honestly it dropped to 3.5 after the orphanage copy. Between the copy length and the inclusion of a game league as though this were LoL and not a survival/death game, I'm not in a hurry to read ahead anymore. Think I'll drop it for now and come back when it's been properly translated. <<less

I won't recommend this if you want to read horror genre, author writer style is quite good though.

This novel failed in both horror genre and game setting, for horror it have too many action and battle scene and for game setting it has too many interfering to manipulate games (ex: system nerf players cuz they make good progress without problem) with this it make me annoy and can't enjoy a way characters act to clear game since game rule and way to pass would be interfered constantly.

also I hate this... more>> method of lower every character's IQ so MC would look smart, I understand that make genius character is hard so it can't avoid some hole but to blatantly make characters not notice something that so clear are too much. <<less

There are not enough words to describe this work of art. But masterpiece is one word that does it but does not describe the extent of chokehold this book has on me. The MC is so smart. God he’s always thinking on how to get the highest profit out of everything. He is obsessive. He is the kind of guy who wants you to trust him unconditionally. He is the kind of guy who wants to have a chokehold on you. He will always protect his companions and wants them... more>> to do the same.

The novel’s word is very interesting. It’s sort of like a beta game and official game. Going further to that will spoil it so I’ll stop at that. They’re given special abilities as usual. The MC’s in particular is a loophole. He can trade things with the others consent and the way he abuses it is so funny and insane. Personally, I really enjoy loopholes. I trick all my friends with it and seeing it in a novel was comforting and funny in a way. Their faces when they got tricked would be so funny to see in real life! Then again, this is a novel where I wouldn’t want to be transmigrated into.

The way that he can eliminate all doubts in him is insane. The way he can unconditionally pursue the same thing throughout everything he went through is insane. The way the place where his past took place was so dark and yet his and ML’s were so sweet and cute is insane. In conclusion, no one in that novel is sane.

The ML, definition of the audio “I KNOW HOW TO HELP YOU NOW! FIND ME IN THE FUTURE! Hello darling. Sorry it took me so long. I went everywhere to find you.” They’re so sweet. They would do anything for the other person.

This novel also has that occasional comedy, (intentional or not) it is very funny to me.

This novel is so scary since you don’t know what’s going to happen next since we aren’t Bai Liu. His brain works different. Would 10/10 recommend.

I’m planning to finish this book in Chinese since I do know the language (just prefer to read in English) for this beauty in particular. <<less

Great novel. I love the unlimited flow and the excitement of all the games. MC is seriously unbeatable when it comes to these games. The thing that bugs me is that each arc is too long. Like the 1st arc alone is around 30 or so chapters. But for the first two arc, it just passed by really quick because I was so absorb in the novel. But then the rose factory arc was way too long in my opinion. It was like 50 chapters long. Still, I love all... more>> the little things. Like the author would leave hints and clues foreshadowing an event, but you wouldn’t think of it until the event finally happened and you’re like omg???! Damn!! So that’s was leading to this?!

Anyway, unpopular opinion, but regarding the hunter

Spoiler

Regarding the hunter, to those of you who don’t like him, I personally don’t think that he’s that bad. I feel like his character is leaning more to the unstable side. The author did give him a really traumatic background after all. Like imagine having to watch the one you love die over and over again.

He legit has memories of so many different world and how the Su character and his teammates died. Although, I don’t know how this is gonna end but if his memories were accurate and not just made up by the system, then like he has all the rights to feel hostile to the MC. In some of the worlds, it was mentioned that the Su guy was killed because the MC in those timelines caused it to happen. (MC killed the guy or his subordinates did.)

People have to find a person to direct all their anger and the reason why those traumatic things happened to. He could blame himself or he could blame another person. And this dude blame the MC.

If it were me with all those memories, I, too, would want to kill the MC. Even if I’m not right and I killed an innocent being, then whatever. At least those events won’t happen. At least, my beloved won’t die. I would rather be wrong than allow for my beloved to die before me again.

So I feel that he’s already pretty stable for a guy with so many traumatic memories.

If it were me, I would’ve already gone batsh*t crazy just from losing someone I love. Not to mention having to watch them die over and over again. And still having all those memories.

So I just consider him to be a crazy and unstable character. I can empathize with him more that way.

ps. Regarding the rumors that he mol*st the MC, I feel like y’all are just putting dirt on him now. Coz like all he did was put a finger in the MC mouth to get the coin the MC uses to get into the game. I also believe it was with gloves sooooo~ isn’t that a bit like how a doctor / nurse do things? I heard that some nurse has to wipe a patient bu*t coz they’re paralyze? Idk but if that’s not mol*sting a patient then isn’t the situation with the hunter n the MC the same.

The hunter is a police officer or something like that so. Although I don’t like how he treated the MC w/o any evidence, but like I say I feel like he’s an unstable traumatized patient so I will excuse him for that.

[collapse]

Regarding the ML 😭😭,

Spoiler

This dude appears only 1 or 2 times per arc in the first 3 to 4 arc. He’s legit barely even there. Idk if he appears more in the later chapters but omg I want more of their interactions. It’s so cute.

Arc 1 is underwhelming and honestly I don't include it in any kind of tier list for this novel because how different it is from other arcs. It's because this arc main intention is to introduce the world/game, how it works, and what MC's personality is. Now this novel heavily focused of teamwork, and by teamwork I mean MC's sl*ve doing whatever his command is no matter how outrageous it is, even if it will kill him. It main plot point is how MC will strategize no matter how desperate... more>> the situation is, and how he will absolutely takes a much harder path just to increase his final reward with his seemingly crazy solutions. Which is why arc 1 stick out like a sore thumb in my mind cuz it's a solo instance (and the economic manipulation can't be used anymore after this) + in this arc it really shows how the author confused/haven't decided how their story will be (imagine, at first bai liu will be a herbivore like those mainstream BL MC lol, makes me laugh for weeks).

MC is a charming devil, you know he's dangerous but willingly wants to get close to him. He's obsessed with money even it will cost him his life. He's a genius, an expert manipulator, and will do whatever he can to get that $$$. You may think with a MC like that he will be a ruthless monster, but no, he has some restrain
Spoiler

though the him (s) in the other world are not

[collapse]
that were put by his childhood friend. Though it's is implicitly said that bai liu is a bit autistic, nothing but money can drive him to work, if it doesn't interest him he will not do it (unless they give money), to the extent that his teammates (sl*ve) has to give him salary whether they got into an instance with physical work involved. The MC final goal is not to escape nor abolish the system and release all of the players in from it's hand. He wants to get rich and he put his eyes on a prize which is the tournament. The tournament will fill the rest of the stories after bai liu collect all the teammates he wants.

Now his dream teammates, are f*cking hard to get
Spoiler

there's the one that hate him for his entire being, the one that already in other guild's team and many more

[collapse]

and MC being an infamous master manipulator doesn't help. It's hard to get the trust of even the easiest person on his list. Which will lead us to well, conflict, and this is the good stuff that makes this novel interesting and pretty innovative with their plot. Side character are well written, some of their backstory and motivation even gave me goosebumps on how fascinating it is. It will also linked to the reasons why they *insert negative feeling for MC here*, and may even be used by bai liu to won over them. You may think with the rest of bai liu teammates is his sl*ve, only MC will shine in every instance, but no. This is as I said teamwork focused, they need to be flexible, and that's why in his team there's 1 or 2 vice commander. Non commander team member also has brain and can move independently even after they were separated so no, there's no one man show trope here, all member are important, the only question is which is more suitable in which instances. And uh, there's like, A LOT of inhuman geniuses other than MC. Some of them are even smarter than MC (stats wise), but this doesn't automatically mean they can outwit the MC. While their stats are higher, you see, MC utilize his manipulation and element of surprise while other geniuses

Spoiler

use their godly memory, deep wisdom, and there's even a guy so smart, it evolved into divination

[collapse]
though it also doesn't mean that MC will win against them for most of the time. So yeah, balance, is not just the usual strong vs smarts that were easy to predict.

For those who want to read this, please read it until the end of rose factory arc or at least finish arc 3/loveware institute, because man, that's where the enlightenment will came and where you will realize the entire-ty AKA the actual theme that the author strive to makes, though it might be a bit hard to read for some because of the numerous reversal and deceit. It's a hard recommend to readers that likes brain burning types of novel, and beware cuz other than arc 1, the (temporary) irritation caused by MC hidden strategy and acting is innumerable. It even felt like I'm reading angst not caused by dogblood drama, but by dogblood strategy lol. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about the ML, so uh, he's already there from arc 1, but has no sense of existence until like, 250 ish chapter. Before that just view it as a harem between bai liu and his teammates (hell, I even ships bai liu with one of the 'male lead' rather than the actual male lead lol).

In conclusion the themes for this novel are : manipulation, dogblood strategy, chaotic team with 3 brains that can somehow work, evil gods, mental illness, stockholm syndrome, trauma, conspiracy and deceit, lots of character with dark past but end up not edgy, revenge?, important past, multiple timeline, important multiple timeline, technically e-sport with the whole tournament thing in later arc ?, depiction of cruelty, allies but somehow also enemies at the same time (the reversal also works), healthy but still deadly sportsmanship, and the most common one, enemies to allies/lover
Spoiler

every allies that MC gets are all enemies to allies, even MC an ML relation ship of full of gunpowder smell when they already dating, they are fighting but the next thing you know, they already making out in front of everyone lol, there also 1 or 2 allies to enemies later though not like, turned into extremely hostile enemies

[collapse]
And damn, this novel still going on strong even with 550+ chapter, a novel with good plot AND 200+ chapter ? That just a guaranteed quality right there. No rushed ending definitely, usually BL with 200+ chapter is just dogblood drama or e-sport. <<less

Finally, I've read until the latest chp! It was a bit boring in the beginning due to too many chps in an arc, but I was so engrossed upon reading all of the plot twists. MC is calculative, manipulative, yet he keeps his promise, unlike the past replica.

I always thought that MC at least had normal friends among his group, but he does not have at all! I'm quite conflicted towards Lu Yizhan, MC's best friend. His identity is well-hidden unless you realised it. I find that the person who... more>> suffered the most is him; when u read his backstory. Sometimes, I find he is too kind to MC, yet this kindness changes MC to be a person who follows the rules and regulations, unlike his countless past replica. ML provides a chance to Lu Yizhan, which maybe can win the final game set by the evil god.

Spoiler

ML have previous identities that he doesn't remember; 1) when he was 14 years old 2) god-level NPC

The best moments in the 7th game. ML is so innocent, that sometimes I feel so embarrassed for MC. The best part was MC and ML was talking about g-spot, while the NPC is having their good times and was caught. So, ML talks about it, which makes MC feels awkward and embarrassed. Moreover, on the wedding night, he thought cond*ms were to blow balloons, and blow so many that he even need to borrow and buy new ones. 😂


chp426 are the best (like side stories) about their daily life with kisses and ftb scenes (FINALLY, got some actions)
[collapse]

Now, I'm so excited for the current game world, since MC and ML are battling to win in a life and death situation. <<less

Note: I'm like 90% sure this story is Yaoi after reading like a hundred chapters in. Unfortunately it appears someone didn't put that tag.

So usually I avoid reading Yaoi stories but since I didn't see the tag when I jumped in I thought it was fine. Honestly this story is pretty fire. I'm always a fan of the regular dude becomes a gigachad when he gets put in his zone trope. In this case his zone is thinking on the fly in life/death situations. The Yaoi is so slow that... more>> for the longest time I thought it was just a strong friendship between homies. The first time the ML shows up,

he is shown as an AI in one of the horror games. He is portrayed as possessing a really nice model so the MC asks for his reward to be a kiss.

I had presumed the MC to be fooling around and so when it actually happened I rationalized it being a one off joke. And then eventually as backstory gets revealed you realize that this is almost definitely Yaoi. But still a good story though. <<less

Side characters are well developed, MC has flaws and is very well written, ML (although appears less frequently in the first part, appears later a lot at the end), well written and is kinda possessive (?).

Plot is really good, has a amazing arcs and the monsters in it are quite nicely done in my opinion.

Main antagonist very likeable (by evil standards) and is written to be hated by readers, so in short, very excellent.

This novel is definitely more for people that have patience as theres a lot of chapters and each chapter has quite a lot of words. I'm actually not really a patient person myself but if you are like me I suggest reading until you can't really read anymore then have a rest or go read other novels and then come back because I personally think this novel shouldn't be missed out on.

About a certain character in the rose factory arc:

... more>>
Spoiler

Tang Erda, I get it if you can't stand it anymore after reading the parts where he is in because I did so myself. I only got through the parts where he is in by bad-mouthing him the whole time ( ̄▽ ̄). He eventually joins the MC's team though and he also gets character development. After this arc, it will probably be better to read through.

[collapse]

About MC's and ML's backstory:

Spoiler

I personally really love these two. Whenever I read parts about their backstory, I feel the need to want to hug them and shower them with love. Especially the part in the clones (i forgot the arc name) arc. Bai Liu also said a line about if he himself is a monster and ML is a monster too then arent they a perfect match (forgot the exact line but this is basically the meaning though)

[collapse]

About the side characters:

Spoiler

MSC LJY MuKe (heck even TangErDa at some point too) etc I love them all without them this story wouldn't be how it is. the villains are... quite something as well. we have a psycho clown, a ?nun?, oh yeah and the queen of hearts I quite like her/his ahem (yes I was shocked to know this too) backstory with Bai 6

[collapse]

Also, at first I read the translated version but after that I started reading the raws (not through mtl as I understand mandarin) so I felt that some of the atmosphere that was portrayed in raws are a bit different in the translated version (probably because of the difference between languages) (not saying that the translator did a bad job they actually did a really really fantastic job!!i really appreciate them for translating this<3)

Extra:

about the author drama on jjwxc (if you have seen it, u know its crazy) in my opinion I think we should seperate the novel characters from the author but fr can they chill

I only write reviews for my top novels, and this one definitely deserves 5 stars. The plot is amazing, and with enough foreshadowing that it's easy to tell how much planning was put into the novel. But for me, the thing that stood out the most were the characters and their relationships. All the characters -main and side - had deeply engaging backstories that always made you feel connected to them in some way,

Spoiler

Queen's in particular destroyed me

[collapse]

and make you want the best for them, antagonist or not. The wandering circus holds a special place in my heart, no matter how many times

Spoiler

Tang Erda made me wanna rip my hair out at first. Liu Jiayi in particular was a favourite of mine, I have a soft spot for precocious kids.

[collapse]

Bai Liu... might actually be one of my favourite novel protagonists (dokja will forever take the cake, my favourite reader). He's so complex, and his past made it so easy for him to just become evil. The fact that he chooses to remain good (... legally) for the people around him. Just. Yeah, I can't even properly articulate my thoughts about him. Definitely the best morally gray protagonist I've read in a webnovel.

And the romance.. I actually loved it. The ML played a vital role in the story despite barely appearing early on, and is easily one of the MCs biggest driving forces.

Spoiler

Spades as an ML was definitely not what I'm used to, but I grew really fond of that damn lizard

[collapse]

As for their dynamic... I personally loved it all the way through, but I can understand why some people might not like it until the end.

Spoiler

The relationship wasn't exactly the healthiest, and there was definitely some codependency, but that doesn't take away from the story, rather it's very important to the plot.

[collapse]

10/10. would definitely recommend people give it a try and read past the 3rd arc - all the arcs are good, but that's when the overarching plot is introduced. <<less

MC is op in a way that is sort of ridiculous.
Spoiler

The ML in the first arc is made to seem like a world breaking problem. 1 hit is instant death for whole teams. But the MC gets hit by him and is fine?? He literally starts laughing. When his mental state is at 3 (you have hallucinations under 60 and go crazy under 20) he's just fine. He can still think and has the time to trick others no hallucinations in sight. He even goes down to 0.1 mental state when he should have died but you have to read the scene to know why it made so little sense.

[collapse]

The IQ of everyone goes down around MC
Spoiler

God Mu has two very expensive items stolen from him by the MC and keeps associating with this thieving stranger? He doesn't stay away from this guy who keeps tricking him (especially when he doesn't know HOW he's taking these things) and he instead follows MC into this really dangerous, suspicious instance. Why tho?

[collapse]
Also I don't like the MCs personality but I should've read the tags and seen evil protagonist so that's my fault. I'm not all that bothered by the spectators during the first arc because I mostly skimmed through what they were saying and it just didn't annoy me like others 🤷🏽‍♀️

I really don't understand why this is rated so highly. The main problems are contradictions, ass-pulls, and the absolute idiocy of all characters. There are plenty of contradictions with previously established things, such as the cost of a skill going from half of a current value to a flat 50 points, or something suddenly being restricted when it was clearly not previously. The most egregious one is the MC having 0 luck yet constantly being incredibly lucky.

That leads into the ass-pulls. The MC always ends up surviving because of some... more>> impossibly-lucky nonsense, and then it's treated as if he's a genius that planned it all out. He constantly makes huge assumptions with barely any evidence, and then magically he is always correct instead of the myriad other possibilities that fit just as well or better.

The evil protagonist tag is a lie as well, unless he changes later on. He can be somewhat ruthless, but he hasn't done a single evil thing yet.

It's not like it's unreadable (aside from the first arc spectator commentary, that was absolute cringe that I somewhat regret subjecting my eyes to), but it isn't nearly as good as I was expecting and I don't really have much desire to continue reading it. <<less

Chapter 85: 5/5

I think I'll wait for CG translation. The story is very good, not much of ML presence in current chapter. The MC is amazing! A morally grey protagonist. The instances duration is quite long though

Complete: 4/5

Okay, the arcs are good. Though, sometimes they're too long. There's not much ghostly horror but more like strange creature horror. I was deceived 😣. The plot on each arc is amazing, deep enough to be thought provoking. The character relationship is complicated. The only thing that I'm not satisfied with is the... more>> ending. For me personally, the ending is too perfect, too happy. I don't mind happy ending, but if the author decided to just pull off the reset ending, I feel unsatisfied. Character death is okay, but the author decided to erase that in the end. I feel that various characters development that happened during the whole novel was obsolete. The final crux is when the MC's gang finally remember the previous timeline. No, just no! I'll be happy if the one that remember is only Xie Ta. That would create a sense of absoluteness caused by isolation because only both of them that truly understand each other. <<less

I would literally die for Bai Liu.

... more>>
Spoiler

Yes, he's absolutely unhinged, but he's so smart that it becomes super hard not to want to just bask in his presence. His intelligence helps to facilitate his money hungriness and, at this point, I say just hand over the dollars (yuan?). Every time he enters an instance there's no tension of 'will he or won't he make it out'. He will and he'll take every good thing/reward the system gives without a backward glance (as he should, absolute king).

Still, even though he's probably a sociopath, he's pretty good to the people around him even if he's just using them. It sends me the way they're willing to be used because he's so sure and steady all the time. It's a mood though. Even as a reader who KNOWS that he makes gambles on low chances, I get excited and fully believe in what he's saying every time he opens his mouth just to be slapped in the face with the fact that he's kinda just winging it based on like a 60% chance of success. It's fantastic!

The ML hasn't come up too much so far but the glimpses we've gotten of him gives me good vibes so I'm excited to meet him fully. I'm sure his interactions with Bai Liu will be fun.

Oh BTW, Xiao Bai Liu is at once the cutest and most annoying character I've had the pleasure of reading recently so have fun with that.

One of the most outstanding works I have ever picked up on. It's thrilling, however I have to admit that some arcs were frustratingly long and needed a lot of patience to get through. Not recommended as a procrastinating read before midterm.

Wow. This novel is thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat. Many times I’m like how can he get out of this situation???!!! Then MC does something at the last millisecond out of the blue and you’re like phew thank god he’s safe. The plot of games are unique and fresh and I’m starting to like some of the side characters however ML (or whom I’m assuming is the ml) has only made a small appearance till now. MC is very intelligent and keeps finding ways... more>> to minimise expenditure coz he’s a miser haha.
One thing though, I feel like the author is kinda bad at time management. Like how, in dbz they’re like the planet will explode in 10 minutes But it actually explodes only after several episodes, in the novel the characters carry out useless conversations and action that logically wouldn’t fit the time frame. I’m like omg!! Stop talking!!! You dont have tiiiimmeee! But idk that’s just my anxiety talking I guess. <<less

Warning, im use translator when writing.
So let's start with the fact that I really LOVE this story and for now it is my fixation (save my soul I will go crazy screaming into the void)
As many people have mentioned, the beginning may seem boring to some, but I advise you to give this work a chance. It's worth it. Having survived the train arch (I swear I would have fallen asleep on it and the beginning of the glacial one) and since started the orphanage institute arc... more>> the story takes its first turns and begins to fully develop the plot since the rose arc after collecting all the pokemons in main cast. The worldbuilding is nice and enjoyable. As a piece of advice, I can say that they love use lies here, one lies to another, another believe it and lies to third, and that’s how this network blooms. Indeed, some violent manipulations with the environment make sense, but this is already the spoilers. So, why did I say this, if something seems suspicious or you want to squint eyes at someone’s conclusions “??! why did you even get that -.-” - remember this for the future + it’s nice to unravel these tangles and build theories on your own. I give my love to the arcs of the orphanage institute, the witch's arc and the floating house arc. The characters are fine and well-developed, both MC and secondary characters. I may also particularly speak highly about witch characters, as well as their arc as a whole and the social issues addressed in it. Analyzing the antagonist is really neat. Their parallels with MC are probably bestest for me. Really super tasty salad. In fact, if you can think for more than 2 seconds, he does not cause as much hatred as is many often said. Also from the end of the orphanage institute arc and the first mention in the temple, it becomes cristal clear that this case is smells like kerosene, and what should we do when the case smells like kerosene? right, dig into every little detail and theorize :"D Its pretty fun. His personality is very controversial and exposed to misinterpretation more easily than anyones else. But little more about this in the spoiler part, as a guide I can only advise to always asking the right questions about his actions and identity, it makes sense (however, he is a rare bird and for more valuable content you'll have to wait a long time) Anyway, mark my words 6 is a really interesting character. Blind division to black and white and so common “antag for pure hatred” deprives you of part of the delicious cake.
It’s funny, but while giving great love for the MC, secondary characters and antagonist, I can’t say much about ML. ML is good and line with him too but for me that's all. This is probably due to the fact that despite many hopes from the beginning of the story, by the end I was more likely disappointed. While you read it is evokes emotions, but 10 minutes after reading it’s indifference. I can’t plainly speak badly, many people likes this character and the line with him and many will like him. However, it’s not my salad, "depending on the taste and color". The further into the forest, the more firewood, and the further into the chapters, the more parallels between MC and 6, as well as the fates of the other characters, felt more interesting than the line with ML. Its good, but not strong enough, probably this is most appropriate thing I can say. Especially against the backdrop of the parallels between willow and six, self-centric tragedy is really strong and we need to talk about it more.
Unfortunately, we don’t feed on advantages alone. Little is said about this, but the main enemy of me as a reader: inappropriate softening of corners. If you can close eyes on small softenings and not worry, then to larger and sharper ones - no. Yes, we are talking about the ending of the witch arc and finale. I can also add the 5 houses arc, the more you know and the more you think, the more meaningless and strange it looks. So, let’s return to softenings, I personally call the two extreme cases mentioned above “random raccoon syndrome”, because there are no other words for the feeling when at the very last moment it’s as if they pick up a random raccoon from the street and say “forget everything that happened before and write whatever you want but in strange and no sense way, but most importantly, without sharp corners and maybe with pink glasses, ” ghhhh I can’t. The syndrome begins exactly at the moment when you think “here it is!!, the ideal atmosphere and moment, it’s going so damn well.” All that remains after such endings its a feeling of depreciation of everything that happened earlier, disappointment and anger. Regarding about finale, together with the raccoon, he suffers from confusion, logical contradictions with previous information and general meaninglessness and naivety.
Personal opinion: finale just disappointment. I would really prefer to see a bitter, but beautiful ending to a self-centric tragedy. Anything but not this. A happy ending made just for the sake of a happy ending. I also less understand the side of those who like this "happy ending", because all the time u in grip of feeling falsity and somthing like MC selfoblivion-trip more than reality.
That's all for the non-spoiler part.
As a result, even if there is a salty aftertaste from the ending, I think rather well about this story and highly recommend reading it!! A lively, well-written story with a pleasant gradual revelation is waiting for you to binge-eat it :)
---
and now the LITTLE SPOILER PART NOT MUCH SPOILER BUT STILL I WARNED
I’ll go through the earlier mentions a little. I’ll continue with the less pleasant, softened corners are no joke, and if in some places this is normal, then in some places the stick is bent. This feels especially disconcerting given the setting and early arcs. What are you talking about, literally everyone can kill, the teammates, opponents for whom is excusable after 5 seconds, but not Bai Liu)) Forget the initial arcs and some exceptions, at the moment when the plot wants to pseudo-educationally twirl its finger “but-but-but” everything will be covered forgotten. But on the other hand, we’ll rush off to play seperprettylifeguards as in Heart su*cide case, when the point in the storyline was much more emotionally and plot-wise good just withount this)) just fir a couple of lines of filler)) And i’m silent about 5 houses arc and the finale, my sanity is dead.
Ugh, moving away from the negativity and cri de coeur: a lot of what I would like to say is sufficiently reflected in the reviews of other readers, so here a couple of words about six. The high degree of misinterpretation is not a joke and history contributes to this (and this is normal). Behind all this performances and lies, we see one of the most fun salads to interpret. The parallels between Willow and Six are quite tasty and permeate the entire work. It's also nice to see how many of the lines essentially refer to both of them. The starting and ending points of one cycle alternate with each other. Doomed and incredibly beautiful. It’s even an incredible pity that their common line was not implemented in an appropriate way, given the problems of the finale. Literally the last missing piece of the story... (a less morally safe piece of the review: after reading I decided that parallels and food were not enough for me, so I fell into selfcest and am satisfied. If you are crazy enough like me, I give a recommendation, among all the selfcests in my history of eating this food is the most delicious and insane in dynamics)
However, Bai Six is too diva, an absolutely doomed b*tch, I will fight for this suicidal princess. <<less
