Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School

Description

The former top engineering student Wei San transmigrated into an interstellar child who was deprived of education. By picking up garbage and turning waste into treasure, she finally saved a sum of money before the opening season of school and immediately signed up.

She planned to become a Mecha Engineer in the future. It was said that it can make a lot of money and was closely related to her own original specialization. Plan pass √

Unexpectedly, because of her greed for cheap tuition fees, Wei San reported to the wrong major and became a mecha individual fighter——those violent maniacs who licks blood all day

Wei·Gentle & Quiet·Impoverished·Engineer: “……”

However, the environment could not make her give in, and Wei San decided to learn by herself in her spare time.

During the training period of a certain competition, the media interviewed and photographed the individual fighters of each school in turn, which was broadcast live on the whole interstellar network. The audience could see that everyone was training desperately, such as gravity pressurization, close combat, long-distance entanglement and so on.

【YY’s melee is too strong. Who dares to melee when the light saber is out!】

【ww’s whipping skills are too superb, NB(F****** great)! ! !】

Then Wei San was recorded sitting cross legged in the training hall, looking down and concentrating on reading a book.

【What’s that Wei San looking at?】

As the camera zoomed in, the cover of the book in Wei San’s hand was immediately seen clearly by the whole star network: “Qing Fei teaches you to become a mecha master in 21 days”

Audience:……

As long as one hears the title of the novel, they could tell it wasn’t read by serious people.

The next day, the star net headline: A military academy student was overwhelmed and mentally disordered during training, trying to change careers.

I have been on novelupdates for years on end and never thought about writing a review but this one is worth it.

The writing is so good and all the emotions from sadness, anxiety, anticipation and happiness are all conveyed so well I am in awe. I have not laughed out loud reading a book for a long time but I couldn't stop with this one.

It's short and sweet and doesn't continue endlessly.

I'd love to go on but don't like increasing people's expectations. So if you have the time it's a... more>> great read. <<less

I LOVE THIS NOVEL. Absolutely adored it. It is however, NOT A ROMANCE. It focuses a lot on friendships and I really enjoyed that. It's alot of adventure too, on how they work together to overcome obstacles. Naturally the FL and ML will solve the final boss, but the story heading up to it, is pretty epic.

Basically the story is about Wei San, our FL who loves engineering. She transmigrated to a 7 year old child who lives in the slums, and has to rummage garbage to find food and... more>> live. She does find some precious cargo, leaves to the city, manages to get money and finds out about mecha school. From there, she enrolls to the school but accidentally chooses the wrong major. Mecha fighting instead of engineering. We then see her grow and learn more about mecha before she eventually enrolls to a military academy.

There are 5 military academies and they have an important competition whereby all this young students are competing to basically "grab the flag", you know that game where you have to command a team, fight each other, and rush to grab your team flag first. It's basically that, but on different stars/planets, fighting opponent Military Academies with mechas and also killing Star Beasts (to obtain rewards and materials to build mechas). Along the way, if you're injured or your mecha is destroyed, you'll be kicked out of the game. It can get REALLY BRUTAL, with lives at stake. There are rescuers, but it's still pretty dangerous. The reason for the competition is also to see how these students will eventually learn that fighting irl isn't easy. As these students will eventually be the military force of the Federation. They'll also get points from this competition and graduate early. So yeah, this competition spans 12-15 planets (I forgot the number) and each world has a lot of problems.

I found it really interesting.

Along the way, there is a deeper sinister problem behind the Federation which we uncover as readers throughout the story. So yeah, it is hella cool. It builds up slowly, with a lot of hints in between. I found that really interesting!

What makes it great is how FL and her group of friends band together to fight this "evil" and they plan together.

This story does start slow, really slow, that nothing really happens for the first 100 or so chapters (in the translation, as translator cuts off each chapter to 2-3, in the raws, its upto chapter 40 or so that's slow) as Wei San, our FL and main character finds her way to the Military Academy. But every scene is important as it builds up to the end. I suggest new readers to just speedread through it till you get to the important parts haha. Her personality may also be off-putting to some as she really works hard only towards her interest and is lazy in other aspects. But I found her personality really interesting and helps to make sure she's not just another Mary-Sue. Since she can come off as overpowered.

Her friends are SO FUN. I love their dynamic. One of my favourite scenes is from Chapter 201 that really emphasizes on their friendship:

--

The fruit basket was carried by Jin Ke and stood at the front.

Wei San stared ahead, but his hand sneaked into the basket. Originally, he just wanted to steal a banana, but he just reached in and touched a hand: "..."

She didn't move, neither did the hand.

Wei San looked at Huo Xuanshan and Liao Runing from the corner of his eye, the two looked calm and couldn't tell whose hand it was.

No one moved, but another hand came in at this moment.

The three of them looked at each other with six eyes, and finally touched a fruit tacitly, and quietly ate it behind Jin Ke's back.

Jin Ke: "..." It's hard not to know that someone is stealing food behind his back.

Liao Runing "touched" a bunch of lychees, kindly peeled one off, and fed it to Jin Ke.

Jin Ke opened his mouth to eat without asking.

--

They have so many shenanigans together. Alot of people thought the FL was sleeping together with her other team members but they're all just really good friends and that's so fun.

It's a really fun story with a lot of darker elements to it which I enjoyed. There is also no annoying constant fans barrage despite the live broadcast element in this story. No gossip. AND THE GENDER EQUALITY IS TOP-NOTCH. As another reviewer mentioned, there is no shock or awe that A GIRL can be the best. It's mostly them being annoyed because she's a poor kid, not an elite, and yet becomes the best. And the rest did not despite their privilege. But yeah, nothing about how females shouldn't be fighters or whatnot. What a refreshing work!

Will reread when the translation is completed!

I didn't find the translation hard to read unlike some reviews here. It's okay! MTL is also readable. <<less

Never read about a more same-less and thick-faced FL 😂 Love how the shamelessness spreds through the school and love the friendships she makes along the way. I think I finally know who the ML is so I'm looking forward to the development there.

I know ppl have raised complaints about ML's action when FL was a kid but dont forget that the ML participated in war at a young age. It's not an excuse but it messes with you.

My favourite part of this novel so far is the down to... more>> earth feeling I get from it. Our FL has issues and it shows through at times but she got Friend's who are there for her later and make her reflect over her behaviours. Both in Battle and how she takes care of herself.

I took a star away bc of the many mix-ups with pronouns in the translations. Not a major issue but annoying and frequent enough. I Was planing on only taking half a star away but yeah, can't change it after pressning wrong. 🤷🏼‍♀️ <<less

For those who found that this story ended in an abrupt way, you're not reading it until the end, there's still a few more chapters outside the MTL site, just copy the Chinese version title to Google and read it on another site (it's Chinese site), you'll get another pov from another chara there.

The story ended in chapter 337.

I actually have lots of Spoilers alert here. So read at your own risks. 🤣

MC looking back and seeing ML looking at her: hmm.. someone is coveting my mecha..
ML actually looking for her fluctuation.
If MC knows what ML is doing she will be like: the only thing that is fluctuating is my heart.

Other MC's: red lips, white teeth, peach blossom eyes or fox eyes. Learning business or acting
MC here: dark under eyes, unkept hair, and a tissue in the nose. Reading - Salesman word's, gardening 108, how to be a fugitive. 😂😂

MC doesnt let anyone rely on her. Not like those MC from the other Novel that keeps shouldering everything. Look what happened to the MLs team, they rely too much on MLs protection.

Scenario:
Gathering of military students.

Other school elegantly dancing.
MC and Liao: Wow! They are twisting their butts!
See's someone ACCIDENTALLY stepping on the others foot.
Liao: I see thats sharing your feeling!
Liao invites an irritable character to dance. 😂😂😂👏
Irritable character: is my charm value high?
Me: no, he just wants to step on your foot...
Everyone started stepping on ones foot. Liao " Wei San! Come join!"
Mc: give me a second. *Grabs a spike shoes* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH


Why MC is hated?
Its not her gender that is belittled. Its because she was an orphan so they dont want to believe that she can stand with those proud son side by side.

I think ML hurting MC when they were young wasn't a big problem. Also MC didnt really put it in her heart because if she wasn't in that place, she wasn't testing her "mecha" which attracted the attention of the zerg. She wouldn't be helped by her teacher. So I also dont take it to heart.

Spoiler

some reviews said that there is a discrimination regarding genders. Im already at 141, all I see is there are a lot of female in military. Like, ML's auntie She is a commander and ML's father is a Grade B. There is also Master Xie who likes to kick peoples bu*t in the training, MC, Master Yu, and the military school full of females. When people provoke MC its because they dont believe that an orphan can defeat them the proud son of heavens. It's not because of gender but because of resources. They have been trained since they were a child, while MC lacks of resources. Im in chapter 170+ now, if you still think they like to fight her because she is a girl then I'd say you are a s*upid sh*t. If they really look at her gender they would always belittle her in the battle field. As you have read, its obvious that they want not taunt her instead they would directly eliminate her because she is a threat.

[collapse]

MC and ML

Spoiler

MC was attracted by ML's face and especially his shiny long hair. While ML, his eyes would subconsciously follow MC.

[collapse]

Irritable character, Xiao Eli: Those friends of Wei san (MC) are not good people 🙄.

Also Xiao Eli: Wait.. im also not a good person... 😐.

"Speak less, you are a crow mouth."

Me: oh, you actually noticed it. Its already chapter 144+ 😂😂

ML not giving back MCs items like hair tie 😂👏 he is even using it HAHAHAHAHA

Spoiler

Chapter 214. I really love ML's Auntie. She became a commander so she can protect the Ying family and when she saw Ying Cheng (MCs teammate) having fun. She was happy that 1 of the Ying is living a free life.

[collapse]

ML noticing MC

Spoiler

You will only become unhappy if you deal with her.

She is strange.
She is happy.
She is in a bad mood...
Is she hurt?

Give her drinks, make the clay mecha, that she made, into porcelain to preserve. Her hair tie is now mine.

Be careful.

Dont waste your time observing, you will only die in a battle field.

I haven't seen her today...

[collapse]

Im crying

Spoiler

Even though they have no ambiguous relationship MC gave ML the button that will automatically kill MC. 😭MCs weakness is ML. 😭

My first time writing a review but this is...

...A GEM

DEFINITELY A GEM

Their shamelessness is next level✅

Comedy ✅

Character✅

Friendship goals✅

World building ✅

Plot ✅

No major plot holes, wait I don't even see any minor ones... well I MTLed so im not sure but still the story's chef's kiss <3

As previous reviewer said, no major romance. Its very subtle and at the very end but I still love it anyways

I love every bit of the characters. Soo well written (to me). Their interactions are... Man I donno how to describe it

Spoiler

I love the relationship between the Ying cousins. Ying Jingxue and Ying Chenghe are soo cute. That moment when YJX actually wanted to accompany YCH to the mecha event when they were kids and how YJX was waiting for YCH to apply to the imperial military academy.. damn cuties... and that bit when they exchange mecha sculptures... ugh

I was searching for good scifi novel on MTL, then many people talks about this one. So I decided to give it a try and so glad I did it 🤧

Because this novel is such a gem.

Im picky about novel, because I want the plot to flow smoothly (no plot hole and no jumping). So I was very satisfied with this one. Every part is explained clearly, the scheme is also mind blowing. There are few OP characters but the way the author write it makes them more realistic.

There are... more>> many characters who has their own personality. There are no forgotten characters (they have their own time to shine). Friendship is one of the strong point of this novel.

Very recommended to read, especially if you like strong FML, great plot, comedy and realistic romance. The total chapters are 337 (the last 10 chapters can be read from the original site) <<less

Still waiting for current tl because MTL doesn’t do this novel justice. This is hands down my favorite novel EVER. Every novel I read after this, is compared to how fun it is to read in comparison. The story itself isn’t the most unique, it’s a poor to rich with a reincarnation in a sci fi world, but the CHARACTERS are what makes this so enjoyable. Our protagonist just coasts along and does what she likes and is absolutely shameless, but not in an annoying way like other novels I’ve... more>> read. I also appreciate how unlike “its not easy to be a man” the author doesn’t try to add commentary on sexism, but just makes our protagonist female without making it a super feminist story. <<less

The novel is quite nice. It has a light-hearted feeling filled with comedy and ridiculousness but it also has a main story that's relatively serious. Though in the end
Spoiler

they made a random family into the mastermind, ended main threat 1 in a few chapters, ended main threat 2 in 1 chapter, and rushed the ending in the chapter they ended main threat 2.

[collapse]

But the translation is terrible. It updates slowly, cuts a normal chapter into several pieces, and is an MTL. It isn't even that much better than the MTL I found after searching on google. If boba's quality is 5/10, then the MTL I found is 4.5/10. And you know what chapter 231 was in the MTL site? It was chapter 73. Boba split the normal chapters so much that 73 chapters became 231 chapters instead.

Too bad really, the novel is quite nice too.

Haven't you read this yet? Quickly do it! It's a pretty slow start, but God... Okay, this is a great combination of sci-fi genre and romance. Just perfect.

The description doesn't match the content at all, it's much less frivolous. I don't understand where the Chinese learn to write such bad descriptions.

Oh, and about the translation when you're going to read... To be honest, chapter 90 is about the thirtieth chapter of the original novel. I use a translator, it's not bad

Good quality. I personally not really like mecha novel, especially this chinese novel about mecha. But this being one of 2 mecha novel I like so far. World building, mecha sistem, story telling is great. And the most important is the story is very exciting.

The cons only at end arc that so-so, maybe?. Still recommended to read!

I mtl-ed this and since I couldn’t find the extras I went onto the CN raws and plugged every one of them into google translate. That’s how much I freaking enjoyed this novel.

This novel is pretty easy to MTL and it is soooo funny. Like honestly had me cracking up. It’s like subtle word quips and jokes that have me cackling. The MC is sooo funny and very like... girlboss? Honestly, this is a bit of a Mary Sue story I’ll admit with how OP the MC is. But honestly... more>> who doesn’t like seeing an OP MC? The ‘money grubber’ and ‘hardworking protagonist’ tag should definitely be highlighted and taken into account. So much of what drives the MC forward initially is money and to get out of poverty. Which, again, is super funny and just part of her character development.

The romance is quite subtle. It’s definitely not a focus in the story and I wouldn’t stress about trying to find the ML or anything like that. It happens eventually but in comparison to the high action plot it’s almost miniscule.

A lot of this novel is the female MC being badass, subverting peoples opinions about herself, building a strong group of friends and teammates, kicking ass, and fighting. Not a whole lot of angst, though I’ll admit I cried at some parts, and also not particularly fluffy.

If you liked ‘Crossing into the Future, it’s not Easy to be a Man’ or however the title of that novel on hiatus is like, this novel is very similar and I would definitely recommend it for you. Aside from the fact that there’s no genderbender or anything of the sort here, the kickass strong Mecha component is quite similar. All around a very enjoyable, comedic, solid read. Would definitely trudge through MTL to read this again. <<less

Woah! Just finished the novel (MTL) and I'm still trying to digest it.

A lot went on with this novel. It's basically a shounen genre but with a strong FL. There is mystery and the plot thickens as you read further. The world is set in the future with the rise of mecha fighting star beasts all over the galaxy. We follow Wei-san, a TM'd FL, navigate into this mecha world. The FL is a shamelss character and hilarity ensues when she banters with the other MCs. I had myself bursting... more>> into laughter when she's up with her tricks and ropes other in. Shameless!!!

Okay, I really love the premise, I think it's good. From the other reviews and what I've read so far things are looking good. The only problem is that the current translations have a lot lost in translation. While it's still readable, it's honestly at times pretty hard to understand the sequence of events. I think I plan to switch to reading the raws instead.

It was a good read sometimes confusing but mainly readable in MTL. The ending wasn't the best, but it leaves an open ending. Which is the best case scenario instead of having a more rushed ending. Though it did get a bit rushed before it came to the open ending.

I was kind of waiting for the viewers to go back and look at the video of Wei San reading that mecha book and changed the title to something like "how a hidden mecha master was found" and laugh at the... more>> ones saying that our MC was scared of losing, or make some meme's about it.

Spoiler

The Sequoia/red shirt (or something) media was laugh at a lot and lost almost all good reputation/viewers.

Blue wave media got lucky and gain popularity and reputation from MC and friends. MC and friends invested in it too.

Damocles military academy was lucky to get get MC. Good thing for them having cheapest tuition and a loan plan, that's why she chose that military academy.

[collapse]

A lot of crazy and adventurous situations.

Giving 5stars since I could read to the end and haven't read a good novel for a while. <<less

A gem

I was very skeptical about reading this one but boy that was an amazing ride. I even feel like not reading any new novel so as to not destroy this novel taste.

I just loved their companionship to the point I even hated ML for appearing even only for last few chapters he has more pen time.

... more>> I guess in their group one is a bl couple (not successful though in extras) .

Someone said MC is Mary sue but I don't think so. She worked hard for every chance she get. Even though her friends are rich but they weren't heaven fav son like ml's team. Even arc kept me on hooks.

MC is sand sculpture type that she even made her group like her Even her college too..

Plus the article is gender neutral. No side fl/ML coming there for anyone's attraction.

Only flaw (not actually) I guess is ml. I feel he shouldn't be there that's how much MC whole group is good together Even though they are actually together in future as they went to same military district. <<less

I'm halfway to complete the stories, and let me tell you this story is an abosulute gem!!!

It's not a typical interstellar story. MC background is dirt poor but it's not a source of conflict. I love how MC bros are all so hilarious and there are no love triangle scenario. ML is verg gentle and quiet. He protected MC in his own way from the start. I love how the two of them, one born at the very top and the other at the very bottom of the food chain... more>> can end up together.

Even though I haven't finished the story, I really anticipate how this slowburn romance came to be.

But, seriously this story is very fun to read! <<less

One of my favorite CNs. Sci-fi/mecha with a female MC was pretty rare in the CN world before this novel.

Wei San is a very likable protagonist. She's always looking for a way forward even when it doesn't seem like there is one.

But even better than her being a likable protagonist are her all male teammates and her dynamic with them being pure teammates/found family. These guys have each others' backs like nothing else. This is a story about hotblooded, bright-eyed kids kicking down every obstacle in their way, even when... more>> the obstacles are very, very scary.

There's no inane romantic melodrama. This is a story about beating the bad guys while growing up in the process. Even some of the less likable rival-type characters eventually get over themselves.

Great cast, great setting, great worldbuilding. 100% recommend. <<less

Very refreshing novel. There is no hint of misogyny or treating MC differently simply because she is a girl. She shared a bedroom with several guys and no one blinks an eye because to them it is completely normal. She is smart and works hard. The bromance was cute as hell, she makes more trouble than all the boys combined.

It started to get a bit boring for me towards the later half so I dropped it.
