The interactions between Xixi, Mo Fei and the MC are this book's only saving grace. Everything else in it is rubbish. Hints of chinese nationalism scattered about and the rest of the world building and money making is tr*sh.

HDLL, in it's essence, is a novel about a doting dad and his cute daughter. Yes, there would be some interactions with Mo Fei and the entertainment business as a whole, but that plays second fiddle to Yang Yi and Xixi (the dad and the daughter).

There will be alot of references to Chinese Pop Culture, such as popular Cantonese and Chinese songs that most of the Western audience will be unfamiliar with. TV dramas, movies and variety shows from 'our world' will also be put into the story, so to fully enjoy the novel, you will need to have some basic understanding of Chinese culture. Though there would be the odd Western story such as Shawshank Redemption, mostly the works the Yang Yi will introduce are from the East.

Some examples of the pop culture references are like China's version of Running Man, The Voice of China, popular songs like "You exist in my song, " "Marry me today, " "Bicycle, " and even an English song "I'm Yours."

Though you don't need to know all of the songs to enjoy the novel, you can most definitely look them up and listen/watch them.

And yes... Unfortunately, there is a little bit of Chinese Nationalism. However, it is never in the forefront of the story, more like an afterthought to enhance the MC's point of view. The only one that really put me off is when he was in America and shocked hunters with his hunting skills. Then people were like "Wow, Chinese soldiers are this awesome..." A minor detail, but it never made me want to give up the novel unlike other Chinese stories with blatant Chinese Nationalism that crossed the threshold into racism.

There really is no need to take things too seriously like **** are you a professor that needs to analyze every single things that are way over the top just so you could just say this is a bad novel? Let me just say this "THIS IS FICTION IN A PARALLEL WORLD" meaning there is no need to overthink stuff like there is no facebook or other social medias it's because "THIS IS FICTION IN A PARALLEL WORLD", Company leaders are dumb well "THIS IS FICTION IN A PARALLEL WORLD". This novel is FICTION, reality already broke when MC transmigrated

though he got together with the FL, there are not enough moments for the two

Basically, this novel is about a killer transmigrating into an ex-soldier body. He instantly fell in love with the body owner's daughter and decided to live a normal and happy life.

So, he resolutely retired from being an assassin and had an easy life with his past life skills and memory (I think it's already so OP though).

The romance with FMC is also very good, everything goes with the flow. There's no premise like you have to be mine cause you're the mother of the child. MC and FMC are interested in each other purely because of their mutual interaction.
